Kaleb said, \u201cFine. If it works out, dinner\u2019s on me.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Ayla threw another paper ball at him.\u00a0<\/p>\n
This time, Kaleb didn\u2019t dodge. It hit him lightly on the bridge of his nose, just a little ticklish.\u00a0<\/p>\n
He didn\u2019t care. \u201cDon\u2019t get caught. Otherwise, you\u2019ll be locked up for years.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Ayla had clearly thought this through. There was no way she\u2019d slip up.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She asked, \u201cSo, you do care about me.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cCare about you? What are you thinking? I just don\u2019t want you dragging me down.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Ayla didn\u2019t respond.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Kaleb added, \u201cZane\u2019s just the muscle. Troy\u2019s the one really pulling the strings.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
+5 Free Coins\u00a0<\/p>\n
Winston Group was a giant. Ayla only had the tech and Kaleb\u2019s company had nearly fallen apart. Together, they were like ants compared to Troy. Fighting back wouldn\u2019t be easy.\u00a0<\/p>\n
They couldn\u2019t hit Troy the same way they hit Zane. It wouldn\u2019t make much of a difference.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Kaleb just wanted Ayla to drop it. But ever since she mentioned divorce, he\u2019d stopped doubting her resolve.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Their relationship might be strained, but Kaleb knew one thing-once Ayla made up her mind, she\u2019d see it through.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Ayla hadn\u2019t forgotten what Troy did. \u201cYeah, I know.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
After Ayla left, Emmett decided to come clean about the hundred million. Once Kaleb found out, Ayla would be even more connected to them.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cKaleb, I need to tell you something about that hundred million \u2026\u00a0<\/p>\n
Kaleb cut him off impatiently. \u201cYeah, yeah. Keep working on raising capital.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Emmett paused. \u201cActually, that hundred million-\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI know it\u2019s a big deal,\u201d Kaleb said flatly, \u201cbut it\u2019s still not enough. Ayla helped us out big time. She won\u2019t take my money, but I\u2019m still giving it.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
15 million dollars-he hated to part with it. Maybe he\u2019d give a little less, but not nothing at all.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Kaleb had already noticed Ayla looked paler than before. Her eyes were red, probably from staying up late to help him.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She had put in the effort, and he could see it.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Emmett\u2019s words got stuck in his throat.\u00a0<\/p>\n
100\u00a0<\/p>\n
+5 Free Coins\u00a0<\/p>\n
Kaleb wanted to raise the money to pay Ayla. But if he found out she had already invested a hundred million in the company, he wouldn\u2019t know what to do-should he still give her money or not?\u00a0<\/p>\n
Better to pay her first. They\u2019d figure out the rest later.\u00a0<\/p>\n
All week, Ayla had been pulling all-nighters. She finally finished the firewall.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She added a grammar analysis module that could detect deeply hidden malicious code. It was a dynamic, intelligent defense system.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The higher the protection level, the harder it was to build.\u00a0<\/p>\n
No wonder it took her a day just to patch the model, and nearly a full week to finish the firewall.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She built the entire thing on her own and it was perfect. Everyone in the tech department was blown away again.\u00a0<\/p>\n
This model could sell for a fortune on its own.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Sure, competition in every field was fierce. But if you reached the top, money would never a problem.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Kaleb knew Ayla was planning to attack Zane. So he called a meeting with the tech team and made everyone swear to keep quiet.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The whole department basically worshiped Ayla. They were more than willing to help.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Besides, someone as skilled as Ayla, with no public reputation? She had to be a low-key genius. The less attention she got, the more time she had. That meant more chances to learn from her. It\u2019s a win-win situation.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Ayla was completely worn out. She slept through Saturday morning and finally felt a little better when she woke up.\u00a0<\/p>\n
At 3 p.m., Martin\u2019s flight was scheduled to land at Trensea International Airport.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She\u2019d been waiting for it.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Because she had a complaint to file with Martin.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She didn\u2019t have the power to go up against Winston Group. The bigger the enemy, the higher the cost. Even with Draven\u2019s help, she\u2019d never planned to take them on directly.\u00a0<\/p>\n
But everyone had a weak spot.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Zane cared about his reputation and money. Ayla had a way to hit his company where it hurt.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Troy didn\u2019t love her, but he wanted her to obey. So, she\u2019d stop obeying.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Troy hated Draven? Fine, she\u2019d side with Draven. Troy respected Martin? Great. She\u2019d go straight to Martin\u00a0<\/p>\n

and put him on aler\u00a0<\/p>\n
Diferent methods, same goal-it them where they cared most and make bem uncomitrable.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Ayla checked the time. It was time to head out\u00a0<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, Troy got a call from Jed. Mr. Winton Mr. Martin\u2019s fight lands at 3 pum\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
That early?\u201d Troy frowned. He thought his grandfather was gone for two weeks.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Yeah. No idea why he\u2019s coming back early.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Troy asked a few more questions, then hung up.\u00a0<\/p>\n
He climbed out of the pool water dripping, and headed back into the villa. He had made golf plas Max and a few others, but canceled it\u00a0<\/p>\n
A week had passed, and Ayla still hadn\u2019t backed down.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She was probably on her way to talk to Martin\u00a0<\/p>\n
Every time Troy thought about her, he would saw her holding hands with Draven.\u00a0<\/p>\n
He\u2019d been too shocked at the time to react.\u00a0<\/p>\n
But every time he remembered it, his expression darkened.\u00a0<\/p>\n
