Herman and James were both handsome enough to stand out anywhere, but next to Draven, they looked dim.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Everyone in the hall froze when they saw him.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI thought the CEO of Storm Group was around forty. How is he this young?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cHe built markets on several continents. His skills are insane. I did not expect him to look like this. He is part of Zheron, and he is young. He has looks, family, and power. He has zero flaws.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI planned to go say hi before he arrived. I thought maybe I could network a little. I was dreaming. With that kind of presence, I would not even get my words out.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cSame here. I did not dare hold his gaze. If I walked up to him, my brain would shut off.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Everyone wanted to meet the Storm Group CEO. The gap between them and him kept them in their place.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Troy, Rolf, and Max already knew the CEO was Draven. They knew his tie to Troy. They kept quiet.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Max did not expect to see James. James was his cousin.\u00a0<\/p>\n
James used to bully him because he was older.\u00a0<\/p>\n
When they were little, James would blame Max every time he did anything wrong, then cry and say, \u201cPlease do not punish Max. I will feel bad. I protect Max. Nobody can go near him.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
He did it while sobbing.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Max had grown up too fast. James taught him early that people could be cruel. His childhood took the hit.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Skyla stared at Draven and forgot to blink.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The moment she realized he ran Storm Group, her chest tightened. She wanted to get close to him right\u00a0<\/p>\n
away.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Troy was already incredible. She never thought there would be someone even more extraordinary,\u00a0<\/p>\n
Skyla straightened her posture\u00a0<\/p>\n
without making it obvious.\/\u00a0<\/p>\n
Then she noticed the silence around her.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She checked Troy\u2019s face. It was was always cold, but now it held a sharp frost. That anger was aimed\u00a0<\/p>\n
straight at Draven.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She stepped slightly aside and asked Rolf quietly, \u201cWhat is going on?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Rolf whispered, \u201cDraven is Troy\u2019s brother.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

Skyla\u2019s breath caught.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Troy had never told her that.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Rolf added, \u201cThey have the same father. Different mothers. Their relationship is horrible.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

Skyla took it in, disappointed and startled. She shifted her gaze to Draven with regret she could not hide.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She liked getting close to powerful men.\u00a0<\/p>\n
But she liked staying safe more.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She knew better than to cross Troy before she even had a chance to approach Draven.\u00a0<\/p>\n
And Troy already stood at the\u00a0<\/p>\n
top of Trensea.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Only a few men here could compare to him.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Everyone around her kept glancing her way with envy. She soaked in the attention.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Especially from Ayla. Ayla looked her way once, then dropped her gaze, like she could not hold her head up around her.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Skyla felt proud. And she believed the rule was simple. The more powerful a man was, the higher his standards climbed. Draven\u2019s cold presence made him unreachable. She doubted he cared about men or women in the room.\u00a0<\/p>\n
So if she could not reach him, no other woman could either.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Skyla was ready to look away, then froze.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Ayla straightened her shoulders. Ayla walked right toward Draven\u2019s table.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Skyla stared in silence.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Her expression twisted into pure disgust.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Is Ayla out of her mind? What pushed her to act this reckless?\u00a0<\/p>\n
Troy is right here. Going after Draven like that is the same as slapping Troy in the face. Skyla wanted to laugh.\u00a0<\/p>\n
What a stupid move.\u00a0<\/p>\n
What a stupid woman.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Rolf saw it too. He glanced at Skyla, and their thoughts lined up.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Ayla was insane.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Max paused. He wondered what kind of connection Ay\u00a0<\/p>\n
i could have with Draven.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Troy never cared about Draven. One look ruined his mood.\u00a0<\/p>\n
He never thought Ayla would step right over the line like this.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Troy\u2019s face darkened.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Jed leaned close and said, \u201cMr. Winston, I can pull her back.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Troy answered, \u201cYou want to embarrass yourself in front of everyone?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Jed froze. Most people here did not know anything about Troy and Ayla.\u00a0<\/p>\n
If he went over, it would look strange.\u00a0<\/p>\n
His dislike for Ayla hit a new level.\u00a0<\/p>\n
To him, she was a woman who lived to embarrass herself.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Troy stared at Ayla for several seconds. It was the first time in a long time he actually looked at her.\u00a0<\/p>\n
If she wanted attention, she got it.\u00a0<\/p>\n
But she got it in the worst way.\u00a0<\/p>\n
He had not expected her to push this far.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The anger faded as fast as it came.\u00a0<\/p>\n
In the end, he did not care what she did. He did not even want to look at her again.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Helena stayed composed as she led Draven forward. Draven was young, but he was cold toward everyone.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Ayla knew this now. Draven treated Martin the same way. He talked more with Martin, but most of the time, he barely spoke at all.\u00a0<\/p>\n
