Chapter 107 The Visitor Who Shouldn\u2019t Have Shown Up\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYou may leave,\u201d Blake said.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Ayla nodded and left.\u00a0<\/p>\n
At Dimensia Labs,\u00a0<\/p>\n
Kaleb asked Emmett, \u201cHow much longer before your guy gets here?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
It was almost closing time. Still no one. Was this person messing with him?\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cAny minute now.\u201d Emmett was just as anxious. \u201cPeople with real talent always have quirks. And he works at Professor Payne\u2019s lab. He\u2019s busy. Being late is normal.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Kaleb\u2019s face went dark.\u00a0<\/p>\n
He had checked with the tech director earlier. The database wasn\u2019t repaired at all.\u00a0<\/p>\n
It was stuck, endlessly rebooting.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Which meant Ayla\u2019s repair model didn\u2019t work.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Kaleb hadn\u2019t expected a miracle, but the failure still made his anxiety spike.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The problem was right in front of him. It had to be solved.\u00a0<\/p>\n
At eight in the evening, the expert finally arrived.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Emmett brought the visitors in, his face stiff.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Kaleb\u2019s expression grew even worse.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Because the ones who walked in were Zane and Skyla.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Zane looked at Kaleb\u2019s beaten-down expression, and after being punched yesterday, his cloudy mood instantly brightened.\u00a0<\/p>\n
He smirked. \u201cSkyla knows tech. I came with her to talk business. And to see your pathetic face. I was hoping for a laugh, but this is even better than expected.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
He stepped aside. \u201cSkyla, sit here.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Skyla sat gracefully in the lounge area, like she owned the place.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Kaleb\u2019s face was as dark as burnt coal.\u00a0<\/p>\n
He glared at Emmett, wishing he could slap him across the room.\u00a0<\/p>\n
What kind of mess was this?\u00a0<\/p>\n

Zane was garbage, that much was normal.\u00a0<\/p>\n
But Skyla\u2026 As if Kaleb didn\u2019t know she was the woman Troy worshiped. She had been trending online for days.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cEmmett, if you want out of this partnership, just say it. Get them out!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Emmett panicked. \u201cI coordinated with Skyla\u2019s assistant Jessica! I didn\u2019t know it was Skyla!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Kaleb hissed, \u201cKick them out right now!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Skyla cut in. \u201cOnly I can solve your company\u2019s problem. Think carefully, Kaleb.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Skyla hated Kaleb\u2019s eyes. They looked too much like Ayla\u2019s, and that disgusted her.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She came here to help Zane vent his anger. If Kaleb agreed to cooperate, even a small paycheck was still\u00a0<\/p>\n
money.\u00a0<\/p>\n
More importantly, Kaleb would never lift his head in front of Zane again. Skyla would have leverage over him, and from then on, Kaleb wouldn\u2019t even have the right to call Zane a beggar because Kaleb would be even lower.\u00a0<\/p>\n
So it depended on whether Kaleb valued his company more than his pride.\u00a0<\/p>\n
According to Zane, Kaleb cared more about his game than his life. So the choice was obvious.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Zane taunted, \u201cKaleb, either work with Skyla or go bankrupt. Pick one.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Ever since he lost his home, Kaleb\u2019s entire world had been his game. Without it, he had nothing, so he fought with everything he had to finish it.\u00a0<\/p>\n
But right now, his thoughts shifted.\u00a0<\/p>\n
He didn\u2019t expect that.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Maybe his world held something besides the game.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Like his pride.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Like Ayla.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The moment that thought formed, Kaleb wondered if he had lost his mind.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Ayla married Troy. She never had room in her eyes for a brother like him. Maybe he had grossed her out so much she wanted distance. Or maybe her sudden marriage had made him cold toward her.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Kaleb had already decided they\u2019d never speak again. He might as well be an orphan. Anything related to Ayla, he rejected by instinct. Even when Emmett passed along Ayla\u2019s messages, Kaleb ignored them.\u00a0<\/p>\n
He didn\u2019t expect that because of Troy, he and Ayla would suddenly reconnect.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Not politely, not with small talk.\u00a0<\/p>\n

But because they now shared an enemy. Until Zane was dealt with, neither childhood nor adulthood grudges could be put aside.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Kaleb hated this feeling.\u00a0<\/p>\n
But what bothered him even more was how familiar things felt. After all these years apart\u2026 he felt surprisingly close to Ayla again.\u00a0<\/p>\n
They didn\u2019t feel awkward. They didn\u2019t feel distant.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Maybe in Ayla\u2019s eyes, he was still just her kid brother. No matter how he yelled or snapped, she tolerated him.\u00a0<\/p>\n
He had spent years simmering alone, plotting all sorts of petty revenge against her.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Then on the day he planned to strike, Ayla swung open his door, slapped him upside the head, and asked him what he wanted for dinner. The next minute, they were having steak like nothing ever happened.\u00a0<\/p>\n
He felt like the biggest fool alive.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cFive minutes, Kaleb,\u201d Zane said smugly. \u201cNo more. You won\u2019t get another offer.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
He glanced around arrogantly. \u201cSay you go bankrupt. I buy your company. I turn your life\u2019s work into my product. Kaleb, do you think you\u2019ll still have the strength to punch me then?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
