Chapter 1169 Cedric Takes Action

• “What's there to fear?” Layla brushed off Wilbur's hand extended toward her, casting a glance at Eloise. “In broad daylight, if they dare to forcibly take you away, call the police if you can. If you can't, scream for help. I don't know about others, but the staff in this coffee shop won't just stand by and do nothing.”
• She cast a mockingly amused glance at Vincent and Wilbur. “You two are no different. If you wanted to control her, you shouldn't have brought her out in the first place. Do you really think you can just silently whisk her away after bringing her out into the open? Who gave you such confidence?”
• “Layla, you really need to watch your words,” Vincent said while flashing a fake smile. “What do you mean 'control your mom'? Your granny raised her through thick and thin. Shouldn't she go back and take care of her when she's sick? My mom fell ill, so I took my little sister back home to look after her for a few days. Isn't that reasonable and justified?”
