Divorce and Freedom: No More Homemaker for Him

Chapter 208 No Such Thing as a Free Lunch

“Zane!” Skyla’s emotions flared up, too. “Yes, Troy asked you to do something, but

e premise was that he gave you a 300 million dollar investment. When he makes a request, shouldn’t you follow through? Don’t you understand basic social obligations?

“Secondly, the target he told you to attack was Kaleb. Back then, you weren’t as pathetic as you are now. You were even more eager than Troy. Because you also wanted to see Kaleb go down. You were looking forward to that benefit too. I know you too well. Don’t try to deny it. Now that you’ve failed, you’re backing out? There’s no such thing as a free lunch. Zane, you can’t expect to take all the benefits but bear none of the responsibility.

“Besides, it’s just one project. If it’s gone, it’s gone. At least the money this loss. You have no right to ask Troy to clean up your mess.”

Zane’s face turned ashen. “Skyla, how can you turn your back on your own family?”

Skyla felt like they were talking past each other. Zane was about Kaleb’s age, only 20 years old, a full eight years younger than her. The gap in their life experience made it impossible for them to communicate.

“Forget it. If you won’t listen, I’m not going to waste my breath. But about the database, it doesn’t matter who you bring in. You need to accept reality.”

Zane’s expression was stiff as a board. “Aren’t you supposed to be so capable? Why can’t you solve something this simple?”

This time, Skyla was truly angry. “I can’t communicate with you anymore!”

“I knew it! You just think I’m stupid. You look down on me, that’s why you won’t help me.” Zane roared.. “Every single one of you looks down on me. You’re all laughing at me. I’m just a disgrace. I’m just a piece of shit, is that what you want to hear? Are you satisfied now?”

Skyla hadn’t expected Zane to lose control like this. In the end, he was still her brother. She shoulder to comfort him.

Zane swatted her hand away. “Dad only cares about his research. Our older brother went abroad and doesn give a damn about us. You only care about yourself. Not a single one of you cares about me. Only Juliet cares about me!”

Skyla said, “It’s not that we don’t care. There’s just no way…”

Zane shouted through gritted teeth, “How can there be no way!”

Skyla knew Zane was too young and couldn’t handle the blow of failure. More persuasion would be useless.

She could only wait for him to slowly accept it before they could communicate properly.

But she couldn’t help comparing Zane to Kaleb.

The pressure Kaleb faced back then was much greater than Zane’s. The day she went to see him, Kaleb probably didn’t know about Draven yet, but he could still refuse her help without hesitation.

Yet Zane had a complete breakdown like this.

Why was there such a difference?

willpower.

While there’s no need to suffer unnecessarily, if someone could truly withstand the blow of hitting rock bottom, they would grow as a person.

Zane had just had it too easy.

Skyla could only try to redirect his attention. “You said Kaleb did it, so go confront him. Or do what he did and beat him up to blow off some steam.”

Zane’s expression indeed changed.

However, Skyla added, “Bring Juliet with you.”

If Zane went after Kaleb, he’d definitely get the short end of the stick. Having Juliet there would help.

What’s more, Juliet was Ayla and Kaleb’s biological aunt, yet their relative wasn’t standing on their side. This would cut deep. You could accept losing in business, but you couldn’t accept defeat. Psychological warfare packed a powerful punch.

Sure enough, Zane calmed down considerably.

However, Skyla couldn’t stop thinking about this hacker attack. She couldn’t match Halle’s ace, and the technical personnel Draven brought in were also this formidable. It made her own skills seem utterly ordinary.

Skyla was already recognized as excellent, but suddenly discovering she couldn’t compare to them, it seemed like there was a whole world of geniuses above her, and she’d been left far behind.

To say she wasn’t frustrated would be impossible.

Skyla wanted to become a top–tier technical talent in this field, but these two setbacks made. was still very far from the top. It made her feel overwhelmed, and she couldn’t help feeling envious.

Naturally, Skyla wasn’t like Zane. Even if she was unhappy, she wouldn’t show it. Then she called Brandon over to talk.

Brandon was capable. After chatting for a bit, they reached the same conclusion. There was no way to recover the database.

Skyla asked curiously, “When you attacked Kaleb, why couldn’t you do it to this extent?”
