I invested 300 million into your company. It arrives\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>tomorrow.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Kaleb was dumbfounded.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>He swung his gaze to Emmett, sharp enough to cut steel.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Emmett\u2019s confidence from earlier vanished instantly. He hunched down. \u201cMr. Keaton, take it easy.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Kaleb held back the urge to launch Emmett into the wall and said through gritted teeth, \u201cWhy didn\u2019t you mention this earlier?\u2019\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI tried! I just couldn\u2019t figure out how to bring it up!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Kaleb turned back to Ayla, irritation clear. \u201cYou haven\u2019t worked for three years. Where would you even get that much money? If this is Troy\u2019s alimony, forget it.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Emmett nearly groaned out loud. Kaleb was too stubborn and couldn\u2019t tolerate even the tiniest flaw.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>But honestly, he didn\u2019t know where Ayla got it either, and that scared him a bit.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>If it was divorce money, he hoped she\u2019d lie.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Ayla\u2019s tone chilled. \u201cAlimony is something he owed me. I took it because it\u2019s mine. Why does that bother you? Are you upset that I made tens of millions just by being married for three years?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Kaleb almost answered yes, but he stopped himself.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>She had just treated him well. He didn\u2019t want to ruin that.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>So, his face just got darker, and he shut up.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Emmett caught the key point. \u201cWait-Troy only gave you tens of millions? So these hundreds of millions are all yours?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>1\/4\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>9:39 Thu, Jan 1\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Chapter 129 That\u2019s Your Last Shot\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Kaleb\u2019s eyes snapped back to her.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>98\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>+35 Free Coins\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Ayla didn\u2019t even bother looking at him. \u201cYeah. My cash. A while back, I created a language- model AI. Big search engines use it. The dividends are where the money came from.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Halle handled all the business details.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Kaleb and Emmett were completely silent.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Language-model AI had blown up recently, yet Ayla had made one years earlier and got it into major search engines. That meant her product was ridiculously strong.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>It was seriously impressive, but she acted like it meant nothing. So it was what geniuses were like-so modest it bordered on ridiculous?\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>She was the real deal and also Kaleb\u2019s sister. Kaleb and Emmett were too shocked to speak.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Ayla asked, \u201cWhy are you two so quiet?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Emmett suddenly pointed at Kaleb. \u201cHow come you didn\u2019t get your sister\u2019s brain power?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Kaleb\u2019s lip twitched. He grabbed a glass, filled it full, and lifted it seriously for once. \u201cAyla, here\u2019s a toast to you.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Ayla blinked, thinking she must be imagining things to see him so solemn.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cRelax. No need to be so formal.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>She lifted her glass and was about to drink.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Kaleb leaned in and tapped his glass right against hers, practically at her face.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Ayla looked at him with a very mixed expression.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Kaleb looked super proud of himself and finished his drink like a champ. \u201cThere. I toasted you.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>She took a tiny sip, her lips twitching.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Emmett knocked his glass against Kaleb\u2019s as well.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Ayla started to refill her drink, but Kaleb stopped her hand. \u201cSlow down. You\u2019ll mess up your\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>stomach.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>She replied, \u201cIf you actually care, just admit it.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>2\/4\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>9:39 Thu, Jan 1\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Chapter 129 That\u2019s Your Last Shot\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI just don\u2019t feel like dragging you to the hospital. Don\u2019t act like you\u2019re so special.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Ayla was left speechless.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Emmett muttered, \u201cWow, could you be any more full of yourself?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>98\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>+35 Free Coins\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Kaleb figured if Emmett had a genius sister, he would be screaming it from rooftops, and everyone would make fun of him.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Staying chill was the smarter move.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Watching Kaleb pretend to be calm, Emmett cursed that Kaleb never showed his feelings.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Ayla hadn\u2019t expected Kaleb to accept everything so easily.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Not long ago, he was sick and refused to let her visit, and there was no way he\u2019d take her\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>money.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>He still talked like a jerk, but she could see the difference. Dinner was turning out way nicer than she imagined.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Near the end, Ayla\u2019s phone rang. It was Troy.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Before, that name would have made her happy.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Now, it was just annoying.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Kaleb saw the caller ID, and his relaxed vibe disappeared instantly.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>He didn\u2019t comment, just waited to see how she\u2019d react.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>She didn\u2019t want to answer, but it was probably about Bria.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>She\u2019d like to know how Troy planned to \u201cdeal with\u201d her.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>So she picked up anyway.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Ayla kept quiet. Troy didn\u2019t speak either.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Was he expecting her to please him like before? Not happening.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>She stayed put, letting him talk first.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>After a few seconds, Troy asked, \u201cDid you hit Bria?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>3\/4\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Chapter 129 That\u2019s Your Last Shot\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>+35 Free Coins\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf you can\u2019t handle your sister, don\u2019t be surprised when she gets knocked around for causing trouble outside. People with manners don\u2019t start fights without a reason-unless they were raised badly and make everyone hate them.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Troy wasn\u2019t ready for this side of Ayla. He went quiet for a moment, then his tone got cold. \u201cOur third anniversary is coming up in a week. That\u2019s your last shot to say sorry to me and Bria.
