Bria glanced at Troy. Her brother’s face was nothing but cold. The anger in his eyes was sharp and dark, the same look he had every time their mother scolded him until he felt worthless. The angrier he was, the calmer he became. That alone showed how serious this was.
There was no way they would ever be together again.
Troy had been pushed hard his whole life. His pride was strong, and what he could not stand most was being humiliated.
Everyone here was a Winston, but their hearts were never united.
Take their cousin, Lance Winston and Ollie Winston, for example. They had once competed with Troy for the CEO position.
Now, weren’t they clearly enjoying his downfall?
Ayla had been ruthless. Troy would hate her to the bone. From now on, they could only be enemies.
Even if Ayla suddenly wanted to turn back, Troy would never forgive her.
Martin knew Ayla and Troy were separating. He thought they were only preparing for a divorce. He never expected they had already been divorced for a month.
Carmen and Eric were completely shocked.
How could Ayla bring herself to get a divorce?
Everyone else was stunned too. Some watched eagerly. Some sighed. Many were openly enjoying the show.
After all, who would have guessed that the daughter-in-law Carmen despised so much would announce, in front of everyone, that she had divorced her son a month ago?
Troy was still wearing his wedding ring today. He had even mentioned that Ayla would come. And when she did come, it was to announce the divorce.
Hahaha! It was ridiculous.
Nobody here were fools. Carmen’s cruelty toward Ayla had never been subtle, and Troy had always ignored it. That meant he never truly cared much about Ayla during their marriage. And now, he was the one refusing to let go.

It didn’t feel good for his pride to be crushed, right?

Lance laughed and said, “Troy, what’s wrong with you? You got divorced and didn’t tell anyone? Aunt Carmen just scolded Ayla like a strict mother-in-law. If we’d known you were already divorced, we would’ve stopped her. We wouldn’t have let everyone gang up on a woman and then get blamed for bad family values.”
Ollie added, “Troy, since you’re divorced, you should just live your life. Chasing after your wife like this is unhealthy. You even made her come all this way. Oh, right. She’s no longer your wife.”
Lance was blunt. “If you were unwilling to let go, you should’ve treated her better when you were married. This is all on you.”
Troy’s face grew even colder. These idiots dared to laugh at him. He had never taken them seriously, but he hated this kind of humiliation. He looked at them with a deathly glare. “Shut
up.”
Martin was old. He had rarely interfered in matters between the younger generation, and he believed he shouldn’t meddle lightly.
Ayla’s request was simple. She wouldn’t pursue the past. She only wanted both sides to live their own lives from now on.
But as the grandfather, Martin could not truly do nothing.
Martin took a few steps forward and stopped in front of Troy. Though he was old, he exercised often. His back was still straight. He was no longer as tall as in his prime, but he was only about half a head shorter than Troy.
Troy looked at him.
Smack! The sound was sharp and clear. Martin slapped Troy across the face.
The moment Martin struck, Lance and Ollie, who had tried to shoot Troy while he was down, were both shocked and terrified. No one dared to speak.
Bria’s face turned pale at once. “Troy!” she cried, rushing over to block him. “Grandpa, please stop!”
Carmen stepped forward in panic, but Eric grabbed her arm and held her back.
She was furious. Absolutely furious. Martin was far too ruthless. In front of so many people, he had actually hit Troy.
Troy’s face went pale. He clenched his lips tightly

But Martin didn’t scold Troy. Instead, he turned around and looked at Ayla. To everyone’s surprise, he apologized to her. “I failed to raise them properly,” Martin said calmly. “Ayla, you’ve suffered during this time. If anything happens in the future, come to me. As long as I’m still alive, Troy will not harass you again.”
Carmen felt like her legs were about to give out.
Troy was raised by her own hands. Martin claimed he failed to raise Troy, which probably was the same as blaming her as a mother.
She had pushed Troy to be the best in everything. And he was the best, every single time. How was that poor upbringing?
If he wasn’t raised well, could he have become the CEO?
Martin was being far too biased.
He had favored Draven since childhood. He helped Kayla back then, and now he was even apologizing to Ayla in person.
Carmen’s heart burned with both pain and hatred.
Ayla had never expected Martin to apologize to her in front of so many people. Looking at the kindness in his eyes, she suddenly felt the strain she had been holding onto snap. All night, she had relied on sheer willpower. No matter who tried to attack her, she was ready to fight back. She had been prepared for battle. But hearing those words, the grievance rushed up all at once. She clenched her fists and forced her emotions down.
Ayla knew Martin was protecting her. And she knew he would keep his word. But he was old. If something really happened in the future, how could she keep troubling him again and again?
Still, at least today, everything finally came to an end.
