She turned and glared at Renee, taking a sharp step forward, eyes piercing. \u201cYou like Ayla?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Bria had a ton of rules, and one was nobody could say anything nice about Ayla.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Back when Renee guessed that Ayla was a hacker, Bria mocked her for it.\u00a0<\/p>\n
So she knew exactly where Bria\u2019s line was.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She couldn\u2019t cross it.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s not that I like her. It\u2019s just that she seemed a little different from what you said, and I got curious, that\u2019s\u00a0<\/p>\n
all.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cEven if I did like her, I\u2019m still your friend. I\u2019ll always be on your side.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
That was Renee\u2019s line too.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Friends are friends.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Feeling some admiration for Ayla was another matter.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Bria sneered. \u201cGreat! But let me warn you. If you think Ayla\u2019s that great, we\u2019re done. No more friendship. I\u2019m not joking.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Ayla had really ticked her off this time.\u00a0<\/p>\n
That\u2019s just Bria\u2014she either likes you or she doesn\u2019t.\u00a0<\/p>\n
If she didn\u2019t like someone, she just didn\u2019t like them, period.\u00a0<\/p>\n
If Ayla wanted to fix things, a simple apology wouldn\u2019t work. She\u2019d have to suck up to Bria for a long time, until Bria\u2019s anger finally faded.\u00a0<\/p>\n
But knowing how Ayla felt about Troy, she\u2019d eventually have to suck up to Bria!\u00a0<\/p>\n
Once Ayla was done with this rebellious phase, Bria would make her pay!\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cOkay, Bria, whatever you say!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Even though Bria was making threats, Renee knew she had successfully calmed the princess down again.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Bria huffed at her, meaning the issue was over.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Then she went back to scanning the fancy banquet hall for Ayla.\u00a0<\/p>\n
And what did she see? The woman who had nearly driven her crazy was just chilling, eating and drinking!\u00a0<\/p>\n
She didn\u2019t care about Bria\u2019s feelings at all.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Bria was furious all over again!\u00a0<\/p>\n
Seeing this, Rence pulled Bria away. \u201cStop looking. You\u2019re just making yourself angrier.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cThis isn\u2019t over!\u201d Bria ground her teeth, furious.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cBut she said she\u2019s divorced from your brother, that\u2019s why she\u2019s treating you so badly\u2026 Is that true?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Everyone loves gossip. Bria\u2019s attention shifted instantly, and she sneered. \u201cNo way! She\u2019d never leave my brother!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cShe sounded pretty serious though\u2026\u00a0<\/p>\n
10\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cShe\u2019s \u2018serious\u2019 every time she threatens divorce! But has she left him?!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Bria ground her teeth again.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Later, Skyla would be attending as her brother\u2019s plus-one. Bria had originally planned to use that to mock Ayla.\u00a0<\/p>\n
But Ayla\u2019s calm response had thrown her off, and she hadn\u2019t gotten to say it.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Thinking about it made Bria angrier. She stormed straight toward Ayla again.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Renee couldn\u2019t hold her back.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Ayla noticed Bria coming. She frowned slightly and thought about walking away.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Bria was faster. She leaned in, whispering provocatively, \u201cYou know Skyla is coming with my brother tonight? Just a little heads-up, he spent millions on her jewelry and dress. Brace yourself. Don\u2019t lose it when you see them. I admire your guts for showing up here alone-\u00e1sking for humiliation.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Ayla stayed silent.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Ayla didn\u2019t respond, and Bria knew she\u2019d hit a nerve and felt happy.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Her eyes were full of mockery. \u201cAyla, I\u2019m not that mean. You started this, so don\u2019t blame me for not going easy on you! Just thinking about you having to watch my brother pamper Skyla\u2026 I want to ask, how does it feel to embarrass yourself like this?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
She didn\u2019t wait for Ayla to answer.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She checked her phone, then tilted her head and smiled sweetly, like nothing was wrong. \u201cHe said they\u2019re at the door. Finally, it\u2019s my turn to watch the show.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Bria finished her little speech, chin up, and walked away.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Ayla stayed still in place.\u00a0<\/p>\n
A few seconds later, Will came over and asked, \u201cAre you okay?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

He knew Bria.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Even without hearing what was said, Bria\u2019s expression made it clear she was provoking Ayla.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Ayla must be feeling upset.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Hearing his voice, she turned to look at Will.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She was 5\u20198\u2033 barefoot, and with her 2-inch heels, she stood at about 5\u201910\u201d. She was eye-level with him.\u00a0<\/p>\n
But her gaze wasn\u2019t focused.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Ayla wanted to tell Will that Bria was just a spoiled rich girl who let her emotions rule her, was way more emotional than rational. They lived in different worlds.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Whatever Bria said didn\u2019t matter.\u00a0<\/p>\n
But Ayla asked herself, After all of Bria\u2019s taunts, mockery, provocations, and jabs, do I really feel nothing?\u00a0<\/p>\n
Like some saint, completely unaffected?\u00a0<\/p>\n
Ayla inevitably thought of Troy.\u00a0<\/p>\n
