Chapter 173 Not Done With Ayla\u00a0<\/p>\n
When the thought hit him, Troy\u2019s face darkened immediately.\u00a0<\/p>\n
If he started missing Ayla after the divorce, then yeah, he was downright pathetic.\u00a0<\/p>\n
And for things like her lemon tea or those lunches, he could buy something better with money.\u00a0<\/p>\n
So in his mind, Ayla had never mattered.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Troy knew something was off with him. His mood wasn\u2019t right, and he wasn\u2019t acting normal.\u00a0<\/p>\n

But that was because Ayla looked too eager to divorce him. In Troy\u2019s eyes, even if they had to split, it should\u2019ve been his decision. She had no right to decide first.\u00a0<\/p>\n
So he wouldn\u2019t listen to anyone.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Max tried switching his drink for something lighter.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Troy slapped his hand away and kept drinking.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Max frowned. \u201cFine. Do whatever you want.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Then he called Skyla and Rolf to come keep Troy company.\u00a0<\/p>\n
When Skyla arrived, she assumed Troy would be thrilled to finally shake Ayla off.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She didn\u2019t expect him to be drowning himself in alcohol.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Her expression shifted.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Rolf was also surprised. He asked directly, \u201cAre you upset?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Troy glanced at them. He didn\u2019t want to explain, but he noticed Skyla\u2019s expression and paused. \u201cOf course I\u2019m happy.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Rolf snorted. \u201cYou don\u2019t look happy.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Skyla asked, \u201cDid Ayla do something to upset you?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Troy set down his glass. Instead of answering, he looked at both of them and said in a low voice, \u201cI\u2019m taking Ayla to my grandpa\u2019s birthday party. Keep the divorce a secret for now.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Rolf frowned. \u201cYou\u2019re going to lie to your grandfather?\u201d,\u00a0<\/p>\n
Skyla froze, confused.\u00a0<\/p>\n
What did he mean by this?\u00a0<\/p>\n
Hadn\u2019t he wanted to leave Ayla for a long time?\u00a0<\/p>\n

Troy said, \u201cAfter his birthday, I\u2019ll tell him about the divorce.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

Many important people would show up at the party. Troy wanted everyone to know Ayla was his woman.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Even if Draven tried to take her, Troy wanted him to look shameless to the public.\u00a0<\/p>\n
So he had to bring Ayla to see his grandfather.\u00a0<\/p>\n
But the real reason was simple: Troy didn\u2019t want Draven to have an easy time.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Skyla asked, \u201cWill Ayla even agree to go with you?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Yesterday, when she went house-hunting with Troy, she thought she saw something strange in Ayla\u2019s eyes, like Ayla still cared a little.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Skyla almost believed Ayla didn\u2019t want the divorce. But Juliet\u2019s Instagram confirmed it; they had gotten their divorce certificate.\u00a0<\/p>\n
They were completely done.\u00a0<\/p>\n
No ties left at all.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Skyla had always looked down on Ayla, but Ayla\u2019s determination this time surprised her.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Especially since Kaleb\u2019s gaming company database crashed. If Skyla were in Ayla\u2019s shoes, she would\u2019ve begged Troy for help.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Yet Ayla still went through with the divorce.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Which only meant Ayla didn\u2019t care about her brother.\u00a0<\/p>\n
No one could tell what Ayla was really thinking, not even Skyla. Would Ayla still cooperate with Troy afterward?\u00a0<\/p>\n
Probably not.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Rolf never liked Ayla. He scoffed. \u201cOf course she\u2019ll cooperate. You keep giving her chances to cling to you.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Troy looked at Skyla without explaining anything. \u201cEven if she doesn\u2019t want to, she still has to.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Skyla didn\u2019t respond.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Whatever Ayla decided didn\u2019t matter much anymore.\u00a0<\/p>\n
They were already divorced.\u00a0<\/p>\n
And Ayla had stopped relying on Troy long ago, which meant Kaleb\u2019s company was doomed.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Kaleb was stubborn. The next time he saw her or Zane, he\u2019d probably walk the other way.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Ayla had lost everything in this round.\u00a0<\/p>\n

And that was exactly the outcome Skyla wanted.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Besides, everyone now believed she was Troy\u2019s wife. Even if Ayla showed up somewhere, who would recognize her?\u00a0<\/p>\n
Max had stopped joining their conversations about Ayla long ago. \u201cI have a friend here,\u201d he said. \u201cI\u2019m going to say hi.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Skyla asked, \u201cWho? Bring him over.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Max smiled. \u201cHe hasn\u2019t met any of you. He won\u2019t come in. I\u2019ll be right back.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
But Max had only one goal-find Ayla.\u00a0<\/p>\n
He reached their private room and knocked.\u00a0<\/p>\n
James opened the door. \u201cMax, why are you taking forever? If you didn\u2019t want to come, just say so. I could\u2019ve invited someone else.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Max showed up late because he was drinking with Troy.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Now he walked in with a cold, annoyed expression.\u00a0<\/p>\n
There were only four people inside: Ayla, James, and two male escorts.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Every part of that picture irritated him.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Still, Max flashed a perfect smile. \u201cAyla, fresh off a divorce and already in such a great mood?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Ayla had witnessed how quickly Max could switch faces-one for her another for James. She wasn\u2019t impressed.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cNot too bad,\u201d she said calmly. \u201cYou all talk. I\u2019ll do my thing.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Halle had stepped out to take a work call.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Ayla didn\u2019t feel like entertaining Max anyway.\u00a0<\/p>\n
And with James here, she didn\u2019t need to step in.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Max shot a sharp glance at Casey.\u00a0<\/p>\n
That fool was actually flirting with Ayla. If Max could dig his eyes out, he would.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The next second, James casually rested a hand on Max\u2019s shoulder.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Max froze, then shoved it off. \u201cDon\u2019t touch me.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
James looked stunned. \u201cWhat\u2019s your problem?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI never liked you,\u201d Max snapped.\u00a0<\/p>\n
