Right now, Ayla really was happy. “Don’t worry. I was putting on an act to snatch Troy’s phone. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have known where you were.”
Ayla’s words were half true, half not.
Troy had pulled this kind of stunt countless times. Ayla was used to it now. She wouldn’t let him stir up her emotions
her emotions anymore.
Because he simply wasn’t worth it.
But Ayla really had been worried about Halle. Seeing that she was safe at last, the knot in her chest finally loosened. At the same time, though her anger toward Troy churned again. If Troy kept making trouble in the future, it would just wear Ayla’s patience thin. The impact on her would only get smaller and smaller.
Halle was skeptical, but she could tell Ayla was in good spirits, so she finally relaxed.
Ayla quickly asked, “How exactly did Troy take your phone?”
Halle clenched her teeth instantly. “Troy is an arrogant jerk. He couldn’t even be bothered to come see me himself. He had his secretary and bodyguards detain me at the hotel, snatch my phone, and call you! At first, I wasn’t that worried. But when his secretary said you were coming, that’s when I panicked. I struggled a bit. His bodyguards shoved me a few times. But overall, nothing serious happened!”
After saying that, Halle grabbed Ayla’s arm, her expression serious. “If Troy comes looking for you again, don’t go. Promise me, okay?”
“It depends. If it’s because of you, I have to.”
Halle was both touched and furious. “Troy is despicable!”
Ayla was still uneasy. “Those bodyguards really didn’t lay hands on you?”
“No! If they’d actually hit me, I wouldn’t let it slide!”
Ayla frowned anyway. She’d thought Troy had come after her because of Skyla.
But Troy had only summoned her to ask whether she’d been jealous back then.
Other than that, he hadn’t really done anything,
Ayla remembered how Troy had instantly calmed down the moment she admitted she’d been jealous. That showed it clearly. That was the answer he’d gone to all this trouble to get.

Chapter 266 Five-Star Review
Ayla truly couldn’t understand Troy.
Why, after the divorce, did he insist on making me repeatedly prove that I once loved him?
When we just got the divorce certificate, he asked whether I cried for him.
As if he couldn’t bear to let me go.
Really, Troy just enjoys my love for him.

He’s so selfish and self-serving. He gives nothing in return. And on top of giving nothing, he hurt me deeply. He hurt me, but he still wanted my unconditional love. How could there possibly be such a good deal in this world?
He treats Skyla so well. He should understand that wanting kindness from others requires giving something back. But he’s so cold and heartless to me while still expecting me to love him as before.
That kind of thing only exists in dreams.
“How long are you two planning to keep hugging?” A lazy voice chimed in from the side, mockery thick in its tone. “Anyone who didn’t know better would think you two were dating.”
James strolled over slowly.
Halle immediately shot him a dagger-like glare.
James didn’t hold back at all. He went straight for the jugular. “Why are you looking at me like that? If I hadn’t gotten there in time, you would’ve been throwing hands with his bodyguards already. With those skinny arms and legs of yours, do you really think you could take on two beefy dudes?”
As he spoke, James even chuckled twice, vicious as ever. “Ms. Kinsman, sometimes you really shouldn’t try to tough it out. Getting backup is the smarter choice. For example, me. I’m loyal, enthusiastic, and I love doing free labor.”
Before getting to know James, Halle had been wary of his status. After all, he was someone powerful and influential. But after knowing him she alone understood just how shameless James really was.
Every word out of his mouth danced on her last herve.
The difference in their status forced her to hold back and not blow up at him. But Halle had a short fuse to begin with. She really couldn’t take it anymore.
“Can you shut your trap?” Halle insulted him with a perfectly pleasant smile.

The readers' comments on the novel: Divorce me I'm done serving you (Ayla)
Why is half of each of these chapters missing? The story sort of trails off in the middle of the chapter. That’s unfortunate....
