Divorce me I'm done serving you (Ayla) novel Chapter 647

Kayla's tone was light and casual, but everyone there understood how much weight they carried.

The moment she spoke, it felt as if an invisible shield rose around Ayla. From then on, no one in the room would mess with her.

Kayla had spoken in a relaxed way, almost as if she did not care. But her words worked because of who she was. Her status was high enough that even a simple sentence carried authority.

Carmen had wanted to keep picking on Ayla, but she had no reason to continue. Even if she tried, it would not change anything. She couldn't make Ayla feel uncomfortable, and she certainly couldn't force Ayla to obey her.

If she pushed further, she would make herself look ridiculous.

In fact, the moment Kayla showed up, Carmen had already become the joke.

Kayla's presence alone was something Carmen had never been able to overcome. It was like a shadow that followed her for years.

Her face turned pale with anger and frustration. She glared at Kayla, then shot Ayla a sharp look. In the end, she said nothing. Carmen turned around, grabbed her bag, and walked out.

At that moment, Eric returned.

Wasn't all of this his fault?

She had only married into the Winstons, but this man made her suffer a great humiliation. Her dignity had been completely crushed.

And the man responsible still had the nerve to stand there and even try to please Kayla.

Carmen was honestly shocked by how shameless Eric could be. As she walked past him, she slammed her shoulder hard into his and stormed out without another word.

Eric watched Carmen leave in anger. Then he glanced back at Kayla, who stood there calmly as if nothing had happened.

He was too cowardly to ask what had just taken place. So, he simply pretended he had seen nothing.

At the same time, Troy's eyes stayed fixed on Kayla's hand resting on Ayla's shoulder. The sight stirred something dark inside him. It felt as if something that was his was being claimed by someone else. A surge of anger rose from deep in his chest.

Troy hated Draven the most. As for Kayla, he had never interacted with her before, but he knew her reputation well.

In front of Kayla, Troy was just a junior. Even powerful people of her generation rarely showed her disrespect. Someone like Troy had no right to say anything, let alone push her hand away from Ayla's shoulder. So, he could only stand there and watch.

But he could direct his anger at Draven. After all, it made perfect sense.

Kayla was Draven's mother. If she did something like this, it must have had something to do with him.

Now that she understood Draven's thoughts, the best thing she could do was respect his wishes and give him a little help. Slowly, that might ease the tension between them.

Still, it no longer mattered much to Kayla whether their relationship truly improved. As a mother, she simply wanted to do something for her child. There was no hidden motive behind it.

Elizabeth listened quietly. In her mind, Draven didn't seem weak at all. Only a mother would complain about her son like that.

After a moment, she asked again, "So you're nice to Ayla because of Draven?"

Kayla shook her head. "I like her too."

At first, Kayla had only wanted to improve her relationship with her son. But she hadn't really put much effort into it. She simply followed the usual approach and tried to find him a suitable bride from a respectable family. Arranging a marriage seemed like the easiest way to fulfill her duty as a mother.

Because of that, Kayla had never bothered to truly understand Ayla. She only cared whether Ayla's background was appropriate.

And since Ayla was Troy's ex-wife, Kayla naturally thought she wasn't suitable. That was why she had been dissatisfied with her.

But now Kayla had begun to take things seriously. And once she truly looked at Ayla with care, she slowly started to see how exceptional the young woman really was.
