Ayla came back looking cold.\u00a0<\/p>\n
:\u00a0<\/p>\n
Will asked, \u201cWhy the long face? Did Mr. Storm reject your apology?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
She nodded.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cThat\u2019s weird. He\u2019s not usually petty.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cForget him for now. I want to ask about Luke. Who\u2019s backing that guy?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Will knew the details better than Ayla did.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWhy the sudden interest?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cJust curious.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cHe\u2019s got the Randalls behind him. They don\u2019t get along with the Jackmans. Last month, Mr. Shawn hit the Randall heir with a bottle. It made headlines everywhere. Local papers called it a brutal fight between heirs.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Ayla went quiet. She remembered that headline vividly.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cDid Mr. Castro get on your nerves?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYeah.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cDo you need help?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Ayla thought it over. It wasn\u2019t simple.\u00a0<\/p>\n
First, she was just Draven\u2019s traveling secretary, not local. If she stirred things up, it would satisfy her anger, but who would deal with the aftermath?\u00a0<\/p>\n
Draven or Shawn?\u00a0<\/p>\n
Even if they wanted to help, why should she dump that on them? She didn\u2019t deserve that kind\u00a0<\/p>\n
of favor.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Ayla had wanted to slap Luke or grab scissors to cut his manhood. But she couldn\u2019t deal with the consequences, so she didn\u2019t.\u00a0<\/p>\n
In the adult world, she had to act like an adult.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Besides, she had the skills.\u00a0<\/p>\n

After the party, she returned to the hotel with Draven. Later, she changed and slipped out to an internet caf\u00e9.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Twenty minutes later, she left quietly.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The local headlines switched from Jackman gossip to a post naming Luke and calling out his tiny manhood. Ayla didn\u2019t hold back. She posted a realistic photo, added minimal censorship, and that single post exploded across Aqualith.\u00a0<\/p>\n
With her skills, no one could bury it in under half an hour.\u00a0<\/p>\n
When she returned to the hotel, Draven was stepping out. Seeing her return, he didn\u2019t seem shocked. \u201cCome with me.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Her stomach dropped.\u00a0<\/p>\n
No\u00a0<\/p>\n
way he found out that fast. He wasn\u2019t omniscient.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She kept her face calm and followed.\u00a0<\/p>\n
In the elevator, she asked, \u201cMr. Storm, where are we going?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cShawn started a yacht party early. We\u2019re joining him.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Ayla relaxed. So Draven didn\u2019t know. In a day or two, she\u2019d leave, and the story would fade.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Shawn\u2019s yacht was enormous and lavish. With his political, business, and entertainment ties, the\u00a0<\/p>\n
party had fine wine, gourmet food, and beautiful people. Amid cheers and music, it sailed into international waters-a world of pure luxury.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Draven wore a casual black outfit that made his skin look pale. Ayla also wore black. They ended up matching.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The moment they boarded, Ayla heard the gossip. Naturally, it was all about Luke.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019ve hated that old creep forever. Who knows how many women he\u2019s messed with? Tonight,\u00a0<\/p>\n
is ruined. That feels amazing!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
his\u00a0<\/p>\n
rep\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWho did it? That\u2019s bold.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWord is spreading fast. He must\u2019ve pissed off someone untouchable!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cAnyone who can run the net like that is a legend. I need them for PR. My dirt is piling up!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

The gossipers spotted Draven and Ayla and got excited.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cThat\u2019s Mr. Storm from Drakoria. Wow, he\u2019s handsome!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYeah, with that build, I bet he can go all night.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Ayla went speechless.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Different regions had their own culture. Even gossip had a completely different level of boldness.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She glanced at Draven. He stayed calm as ever. Of course he did. If he cared about every rumor, he\u2019d be dragged down constantly.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Shawn squeezed through with a champagne glass. \u201cI thought you weren\u2019t coming!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
He greeted Ayla, \u201cHey, Ms. Keaton.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
She nodded.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cTonight isn\u2019t work. Relax and enjoy.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Ayla smiled. \u201cOkay.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Shawn moved to Draven\u2019s side and whispered, \u201cDo you hear about Luke\u2019s scandal?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Draven glanced over. \u201cYeah.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYou did it, didn\u2019t you?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Draven said flatly, \u201cNot me.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cStop pretending.I saw Ayla talking to him, then she came back furious. She was bullied, and you\u2019re telling me you didn\u2019t do anything?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Draven stayed calm. \u201cAyla didn\u2019t tell me.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Shawn blinked, surprised. \u201cAre you serious? Don\u2019t tell me you didn\u2019t notice her talking to\u00a0<\/p>\n
Luke!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cEven if she did, that\u2019s just normal networking.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Shawn studied Draven for a moment in confusion, sensing something off. Then, he called Ayla over to face Draven directly.\u00a0<\/p>\n
