Divorce and Freedom: No More Homemaker for Him

Chapter 190 Full of Himself

Ayla wasn’t worried about what would happen if Draven discovered anything. Not even a little.

Troy couldn’t tell if Ayla was just using Draven or if she already knew exactly how he felt.

He figured it was the first.

Ayla only cared about him. Even if Draven had confessed, she would’ve turned him down. And even if she hadn’t, Draven wouldn’t have lost his mind just because she hired a few gigolos.

That thought took a bit of weight off his chest, but the anger still burned under his ribs.

He called Ayla again, only to find she had blocked both him and the driver.

He stared at his phone for three long seconds. His face had gone darker than a thundercloud.

He almost threw the phone but caught himself. Instead, he handed it back to the driver and stared out the window, the cold light washing over his face while he tried to quiet the storm in his chest.

Ayla had slipped out of his hands, and the loss clawed at him.

When he realized how uneasy that made him, disgust rose in his throat. He couldn’t stand that she had that kind of hold on him. It made him feel unhinged.

His life had been unraveling ever since Draven entered. He wasn’t about to let Ayla drag him down further.

He pulled out another phone and typed, “Ayla, I’ll give you time to calm down.

“Don’t block me again. If you do, I’ll just find another way to reach you.”

Moments after sending it, Skyla texted, asking when he’d arrive.

Troy wasn’t in the mood for a meal anymore. He replied that something had come up and canceled.

Then he called Jed.

Ayla had mentioned that Draven would help her.

Troy told Jed to find out the truth. He wanted to see if Draven had really stepped in–or if Ayla was bluffing to get under his skin.

At the restaurant, Skyla lowered her phone. She didn’t ask a thing.

Her mood had been sour all day.

Halle had shown up at their firm with her team, and the project that had been stalled for nearly three months finally got fixed by her people.

The engineers who used to sneer at Skyla were now tripping over themselves to flatter Halle.

Even Norris had hovered around the young Halle, giving her all the spotlight.

But Skyla only knew that because her assistant, Jessica, told her.

She had taken the day off.

She had been the one who claimed credit for convincing Halle to help, and Norris had even thrown a small celebration for it. There was a good chance Halle would bring that up tonight.

Even though Skyla had already mapped out her plan, the sting of humiliation still lingered. She waited until Halle was gone before heading back to the office to check the computation model herself.

The model had taken only two weeks to build, yet it passed every data test without a flaw. Its ability to filter out data noise was nothing short of brilliant.

It also had a training and optimization function. The more data samples it processed, the more stable and intelligent it became.

Only then did Skyla understand why everyone had started flattering Halle’s team. Deep down, she was impressed too.

Halle’s team had a secret weapon.

It was the creator of LugiX.

A sharp bitterness welled up inside her. She still couldn’t figure out what she had done to offend Halle.

If she could fix their relationship, she’d gain access to that genius. Then those pretentious researchers wouldn’t dare treat her like she didn’t belong.

Skyla was miffed.

Still, Halle’s ace was so far ahead of everyone else that no one could even feel jealous. The gap was too great to bother trying.

Skyla knew she couldn’t compare, but she was still the project’s lead researcher. Those who didn’t like her had to stay polite in front of her anyway.

That was enough for now.

Still, she needed to find a way to meet that prodigy.

Just as that thought settled in, her phone buzzed. Zane was calling.

He told her everything about Ayla.

Skyla let out a sharp laugh. “She’s really that bold?”

“Of course she is,” Zane said. “No one acts tougher than he does.”

“She’s lost Troy and doesn’t care about Juliet’s reputation, so who else does she think she can rely on?” Skyla wanted to say that Ayla probably thought she could use Draven’s influence, like a secretary pretending she

mattered.

“Maybe she’s relying on her fantasies,” Zane replied, his one dry.

Skyla didn’t even consider Ayla a rival anymore. The difference between them was too wide to measure.

After the divorce, Ayla had fallen from privilege to mediocrity.

Career–wise, she was nothing more than a secretary. If Kaleb’s game ever succeeded, she might have risen with him at Trensea. But Kaleb was useless too.

In every way that mattered, Skyla and Ayla lived in different worlds.

Just seeing their names side by side felt insulting.

She thought about it. If she were Ayla, she would never have divorced Troy, no matter how terrible he was. She would have clung to the title of his wife and begged him to handle Kaleb’s problems. That way, she wouldn’t have lost a thing.

But Ayla was a fool.

People like her brought their misery upon themselves. One bad choice had led to another until she was nothing more than a pathetic wreck. She had no one to blame but herself.
