Zane clicked his tongue and smirked. \u201cI doubt you have anything left. Compared to a beggar like me, a loser is even worse. At least a beggar gets to sit at the table. A loser doesn\u2019t even get invited.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
He finished, then looked at Emmett. \u201cWhat are you staring at? Go pour me a glass of water. Maybe I\u2019ll be your boss soon. Might as well get used to serving me.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Emmett usually had a good temper. Even mean words didn\u2019t always make him angry.\u00a0<\/p>\n
But right now, he wanted to borrow Kaleb\u2019s talent for cursing and kick Zane straight out the door.\u00a0<\/p>\n
He held it in and snapped, \u201cZane, if you can\u2019t talk like a decent human being, shut your mouth.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Zane shrugged. \u201cThat kind of talk only works on people already losing. I\u2019m just sitting here watching you fail. The more you curse, the funnier it gets. Say enough things and maybe I\u2019ll clap for you.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
He turned to Kaleb, who showed almost no reaction.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Zane hated everything about Kaleb\u2019s attitude.\u00a0<\/p>\n
No money. No power. Yet he never bowed his head.\u00a0<\/p>\n
His parents were gone, and his sister was a complete mess. What right did he have to stand so straight?\u00a0<\/p>\n
How could someone living this miserably still hold on to that kind of pride?\u00a0<\/p>\n
Zane wanted to snap that spine piece by piece, watch Kaleb break into something small and pathetic.\u00a0<\/p>\n
That image would be delicious.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Emmett couldn\u2019t stand another word. But Kaleb\u2019s face stayed unreadable, shifting between dark and darker.\u00a0<\/p>\n
A cup of coffee dumped over Zane\u2019s head when Emmett was about to throw Zane out.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Zane froze. Brown liquid dripped onto the floor. He turned slowly, stunned.\u00a0<\/p>\n
And saw Ayla\u2019s ice-cold eyes.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Ayla dropped the empty cup to the ground with a sharp clatter.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Her voice was colder than her stare. \u201cCoffee tastes better than water. Want some more?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cAyla!\u201d Zane snapped out of it, teeth grinding. \u201cYou threw coffee on me!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m letting you bark in Kaleb\u2019s office. A cup of coffee is nothing. Can\u2019t handle it? Go die.\u201d Ayla said it without even blinking.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Kaleb shot her a glare.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Learning his insults now?\u00a0<\/p>\n
And badly? It was useless.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Zane didn\u2019t dare lift a hand. She had ten bodyguards behind her. And Kaleb looked like he\u2019d jump in at\u00a0<\/p>\n
any moment.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Zane bit down so hard his jaw nearly cracked.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Ayla was a waste, but her presence was sharper and heavier than he expected.\u00a0<\/p>\n
He wanted to curse, but the second her cold eyes swept over him, his confidence shrank, which only made him hate her more.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Ayla had nothing impressive. Not in marriage, not in career, not in personality. Nothing like Skyla.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Yet she still stood just as straight as Kaleb.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Were all the Keatons this ordinary and this confident?\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cZane only said a few things. He didn\u2019t even hurt anyone. Ayla, why are you throwing a tantrum?\u201d Skyla spoke up, clearly irritated by how ridiculous Zane looked dripping coffee.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cIf I were really angry, Zane would already be in the hospital.\u201d Ayla didn\u2019t even look at her. \u201cPlease leave.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Skyla\u2019s face darkened.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The last person who dared disregard her was Halle.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Now Ayla too.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Since coming back to the country, Skyla and Ayla had never faced each other directly. She hadn\u2019t really paid attention before.\u00a0<\/p>\n
But now that she had, the more she looked at Ayla, the more irritated she felt.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cAyla, do you know why Troy doesn\u2019t love you? You have no sense. No emotional intelligence. You could fix Kaleb\u2019s problem just by quitting your job, but you sit there watching him go bankrupt. Anyone with you as a sister is cursed.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Skyla knew Ayla still cared about Troy.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Using him was supposed to hit Ayla\u2019s weakest spot.\u00a0<\/p>\n
But she had overestimated herself.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Ayla stayed calm. \u201cSo bringing your brother here to kick him while he\u2019s down makes you a good sister?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Then she added, \u201cAnd what, you graduated a few years before me so now you get to lecture me like you\u2019re my dad? If you love teaching so much, go teach Troy how to be a decent human. You\u2019ll feel much more accomplished.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

Skyla had walked in here holding back disgust. She looked down on everyone in this room.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Ayla should have bowed her head, kept quiet and play weak.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Instead, Ayla pushed back without flinching.\u00a0<\/p>\n
People in Trensea\u2019s upper circle rarely dared speak to Skyla like this.\u00a0<\/p>\n
How could Ayla?\u00a0<\/p>\n

Skyla\u2019s pride took a direct hit, and the anger that rose in her was deep and real. It made her even madder than having a drink thrown in her face.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She stood up and sneered. \u201cI came here to give Kaleb one last chance to save himself. He\u2019s the one throwing it away. Ayla, people are supposed to grow. You stay this stupid, and you and your brother deserve to rot at the bottom forever.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
