Chapter 771 Dazzling Debut
All of a sudden, Bria noticed an additional photo sitting on the cabinet.
It was a family photo.
There were the two children, Floyd and Esme, Ayla, an elderly woman Bria recognized as Ayla’s grandmother, and Aunt Juliet, whom she had met before at the twins‘ one–month celebration… and then there was Kaleb, who made her grit her teeth in frustration whenever she thought of him.
This was a full family photo.
Even though Bria knew that Kaleb was Ayla’s younger brother, she was still jealous that he got to stand with her in a family photo.
Bria treated her idol well, but her idol’s brother was a whole other story.
Bria was determined to make Kaleb surrender to her.
Regardless, Bria knew that it was only a matter of time before she could take a family photo with Ayla like this. Once Ayla and Draven got married, they would be a family as well.
Bria just needed a little more courage before asking for a photo together. When the time came, she planned to have a custom diamond frame made and place it right next to this family photo.
A month later, at the major tech conference that brought together companies and industry leaders from around the world, Ayla stood under the spotlight and confidently introduced LugiM.
Unlike LugiX’s large language model, the upgraded AI model featured/advanced video generation technology and was able to create imaginative and stunning videos with lower costs and faster prompts.
The demonstration was stunning. Everyone’s cheers and even the cameras were all directed at the woman standing in the middle of the stage.
This moment was bound to be included as a highlight in the history of major global AI events.
The AI industry would be shaken up by the release of LugiM.
Standing among the crowd was Skyla, who was blown away by every single stunning feature of Ayla’s Al model. As someone who was working in the same industry, Skyla knew how impressive this was. On top of that, she hadn’t even had time to process the fact that LugiX was a model created by Ayla.
Indeed, when a genius steps in, it changes the whole game.
Skyla was completely crushed by the competition. Looking at the dazzling Ayla, she even felt tears welling up. There was no way she could hold on to her pride in front of a genius like Ayla.
Meanwhile, at the very back of the crowd, a pair of gentle eyes were fixed on Ayla with full attention. His eyes were full of admiration and pride.
As Ayla finished introducing the last feature of LugiM, loud applause erupted. Ayla looked up, locking eyes

with the man standing in the very last row, silently celebrating and marking this moment together with him.
Draven mouthed, “Congratulations, Ayla.”
The members of Ayla’s tech team were all crying as they hugged each other, celebrating the fact that their entire year of hard work had not gone to waste.
Halle was completely captivated by Ayla, who had really thrown herself into her work. Ayla’s talent was really impressive. Even Halle jumped up and down, shouting excitedly.
Troy was also there, standing in a corner of the last row. Watching Ayla standing in the middle of the spotlight, he couldn’t help feeling an unbearable ache in his heart. This was the woman he had lost because of his arrogance and cold indifference. There were no words that could describe the regret and pain he felt.
Maybe it was the therapy, the anti–anxiety and calming medicine, and his parents‘ apologies and support that kept Troy from wanting to destroy everything in a fit of rage.
Now, he just felt empty.
Max had come as well to witness the brightest moment of the first woman he’d ever truly liked. He was proud and happy for her. Of course, he was also here to keep Troy in check, to make sure he didn’t do anything reckless.
Although it probably wasn’t necessary.
After all, Draven was there as well.
Draven wouldn’t allow Troy to do anything that could hurt Ayla ever again.
Later, toward the end of the celebration party, Troy finally got a chance to meet Ayla
a
quiet corner.
Ayla wasn’t too surprised to see Troy since Max had already told her about it.
Troy was on medication now, so he didn’t t seem as sharp and cold as usual. He looked softer, and his usual intensity had faded quite a bit.
“Ayla,” Troy called out to her, his eyes fixed on her as if he couldn’t bear to look away. “Congratulations.”
Ayla responded calmly, “Thank you.”
Troy had come all this way, so Ayla decided she could spare him a minute.
Troy spoke, “The last time we spoke was on the phone…”
Ayla remembered how she had broken down when he had used their children to threaten her.
Troy’s heart ached, twisted with regret. His eyes were red, and even someone as proud and arrogant as he had a slight tremor in his voice. “I’m sorry, Ayla. I’ve always wanted to reach out and apologize to you in
