Divorce and Freedom No More Homemaker for Him novel Chapter 136

Ayla came back looking cold.

Will asked, “Why the long face? Did Mr. Storm reject your apology?”

She nodded.

“That’s weird. He’s not usually petty.”

“Forget him for now. I want to ask about Luke. Who’s backing that guy?”

Will knew the details better than Ayla did.

“Why the sudden interest?”

“Just curious.”

“He’s got the Randalls behind him. They don’t get along with the Jackmans. Last month, Mr. Shawn hit the Randall heir with a bottle. It made headlines everywhere. Local papers called it a brutal fight between heirs.”

Ayla went quiet. She remembered that headline vividly.

“Did Mr. Castro get on your nerves?”

“Yeah.”

“Do you need help?”

Ayla thought it over. It wasn’t simple.

First, she was just Draven’s traveling secretary, not local. If she stirred things up, it would satisfy her anger,

but who would deal with the aftermath?

Draven or Shawn?

Even if they wanted to help, why should she dump that on them? She didn’t deserve that kind of favor.

Ayla had wanted to slap Luke or grab scissors to cut his manhood. But she couldn’t deal with the consequences, so she didn’t.

In the adult world, she had to act like an adult.

Besides, she had the skills.

After the party, she returned to the hotel with Draven. Later, she changed and slipped out to an internet café.

Twenty minutes later, she left quietly.

The local headlines switched from Jackman gossip to a post naming Luke and calling out his tiny manhood. Ayla didn’t hold back. She posted a realistic photo, added minimal censorship, and that single post exploded across Aqualith.

With her skills, no one could bury it in under half an hour.

When she returned to the hotel, Draven was stepping out. Seeing her return, he didn’t seem shocked. “Come with me.”

Her stomach dropped.

No way he found out that fast. He wasn’t omniscient.

She kept her face calm and followed.

In the elevator, she asked, “Mr. Storm, where are we going?”

“Shawn started a yacht party early. We’re joining him.”

Ayla relaxed. So Draven didn’t know. In a day or two, she’d leave, and the story would fade.

Shawn’s yacht was enormous and lavish. With his political, business, and entertainment ties, the party had fine wine, gourmet food, and beautiful people. Amid cheers and music, it sailed into international waters–a world of pure luxury.

Draven wore a casual black outfit that made his skin look pale. Ayla also wore black. They ended up matching.

The moment they boarded, Ayla heard the gossip. Naturally, it was all about Luke.

“I’ve hated that old creep forever. Who knows how many women he’s messed with? Tonight, his rep is ruined. That feels amazing!”

“Who did it? That’s bold.”

“Word is spreading fast. He must’ve pissed off someone untouchable!”

“Anyone who can run the net like that is a legend. I need them for PR. My dirt is piling up!”

The gossipers spotted Draven and Ayla and got excited.

“That’s Mr. Storm from Drakoria. Wow, he’s handsome!”

“Yeah, with that build, I bet he can go all night.”

Ayla went speechless.

品

Different regions had their own culture. Even gossip had a completely different level of boldness.

She glanced at Draven. He stayed calm as ever. Of course he did. If he cared about every rumor, he’d be dragged down constantly.

Shawn squeezed through with a champagne glass. “I thought you weren’t coming!”

He greeted Ayla, “Hey, Ms. Keaton.”

She nodded.

“Tonight isn’t work. Relax and enjoy.”

Ayla smiled. “Okay.”

Shawn moved to Draven’s side and whispered, “Do you hear about Luke’s scandal?”

Draven glanced over. “Yeah.”

“You did it, didn’t you?”

Draven said flatly, “Not me.”

“Stop pretending.I saw Ayla talking to him, then she came back furious. She was bullied, and you’re telling me you didn’t do anything?”

Draven stayed calm. “Ayla didn’t tell me.”

Shawn blinked, surprised. “Are you serious? Don’t tell me you didn’t notice her talking to Luke!”

“Even if she did, that’s just normal networking.”

Shawn studied Draven for a moment in confusion, sensing something off. Then, he called Ayla over to face Draven directly.
