“Gavyn Delacruz, would you care to explain yourself? This is a luncheon between me and my friend, and you just barged in uninvited. Don’t I have the right to be upset?”
Ryker noticed Aylin was angry and walked over to stand protectively by her side. “Mr. Delacruz, as you can hear, no one here Please do not disturb our meal.”
Ryker’s comes!
1 “oice was deep and heavy, filled with a stark werLURE.
The tug-of-war between the two men was so intense that Lloyd could feel the tension even as he stood by the door. It seemed as if they were on the verge of exploding at any moment.
Gavyn’s hands were crossed in front of his abdomen, and although he was sitting, his presence was no less imposing than that of the upright-standing Ryker, if not even more so.
His expression was cold, yet his posture was relaxed and elegant. “Ryker Orozco, right?”
He looked
up, as if he had just noticed him. His eyes were cold and deep, exuding an aura that had been honed through years of experience in the power struggle. It was subtle, yet incredibly ssive.
“I saw what happened online, and I want to thank you for defending my wife.” He only mentioned about his wife and his calm tone carried an indescribable feeling.
Upon hearing this, Aylin was momentarily taken aback, her heart slightly stifled.
Once upon a time, when Gavyn got married, he was never willing to openly admit that she was his wife when they were out in public. He wished he could treat her as if she were invisible, blatantly stating that she was unpresentable.
Because of this, she even doubted herself for a while.
Now that we’re divorced, why rush to establish an connection as mere passersby?
Who are they really trying to annoy!
Ryker was equally outraged. He had long been dissatisfied with Gavyn, the derelict ex-husband, and never expected him to have the audacity to bring it up.
“Mr. Delacruz, please get it straight – she’s not your wife anymore!”
Gavyn raised his eyebrows slightly, his gaze falling on Ryker, calm and composed. “An ex-wife is still a wife. We had a substantial marital relationship, which is better than being ambiguous all the time.”
The phrase was profound and seemed to mock Ryker for his unrequited feelings, as he still hadn’t truly received permission to be in a relationship.
Ryker, being younger, clenched his fists as his anger erupted like molten lava in an instant,
“Gavyn Delacruz, you…!”
Gavyn remained calm, his gaze overwhelmingly intense.
Lloyd’s scalp tingled as he finally understood what was going on. Gavyn was jealous, and the two of them were about to fight over Aylin!
He even thought about how he would mediate the situation when the time comes.
Aylin saw that Ryker was no match for Gavyn, so she quickly moved him behind her and said. irritably, “Gavyn, have you lost your mind? Why are you suddenly picking a fight for no reason?
Also, why should I thank you? Speak clearly,” she said.
Gavyn wasn’t bothered by Aylin’s scolding, but when he heard the last sentence, his hand paused while closing the menu. “How could you not have seen such a big thing on the internet?”
What do you see?
After some thought, Aylin could only guess that Gavyn might be referring to his acquisition of Vertex Entertainment.
Upon further thought, it became even more inexplicable. Gavyn had clearly made this move for the sake of his own company’s future, weighing the pros and cons. How could he have the audacity to say that he was helping her?
It’s all about having a good laugh!
“Gavyn, do you think I’m a business greenhorn? You acquired Vertex Entertainment for your own profit, and now you’re telling me I should be grateful to you?”
She sneered, “If it really comes to it, I’ll make an appointment for Mr. Delacruz at the neurology department. Go and see for yourself, and stop treating others like fools all day long!”
Gavyn’s expression changed, and his unfathomable eyes stared directly at Aylin. Word by word, he asked, “Is that what you think?”
Aylin rolled her eyes inwardly.
What else can one think? It’s not like I should bow to him; Gavyn Delacruz is not a king!
Aylin gave a nonchalant sound and said bluntly, “What else can I think? How do you expect me to think of you? We’re both in business, do you think I don’t know what’s on your mind?
Although you guys at Vertex Entertainment may not be very involved in the film and television industry, acquiring it would give you access to existing resources. Even if it’s just the shell of a large company, it can still accomplish quite a bit. Mr. Delacruz, don’t tell me you can’t see the benefits behind this. If we’re really talking about helping each other out…”
