Chapter 177 The Moment Everything Snapped\u00a0<\/p>\n
For the first time in his life, Troy understood what it meant to be blinded by anger.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Maybe it was the alcohol. Maybe it was everything piling up. But right now, he was so mad he couldn\u2019t even form a sentence.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Ayla only gave him a cold laugh and stepped past him.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Casey froze in shock. He didn\u2019t know if he was shocked or scared. He simply stood petrified.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Ayla tugged his wrist. \u201cLet\u2019s go.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Troy finally reacted. He reached out, trying to grab Ayla\u2019s hand.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Max rushed over and happened to catch the scene. He instinctively moved to block Troy.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Casey stepped forward to shield Ayla, and pain shot up his forearm But the next second, Troy flung him aside like he weighed nothing.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cMove,\u201d Troy barked.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Sweat slid down Casey\u2019s forehead. \u201cSir, please calm down.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Max shot Casey a warning glare, then planted himself in front of Troy. He looked straight at him, voice low and steady. \u201cTroy.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
But the fire in Troy\u2019s eyes didn\u2019t fade. \u201cMax, move to the side now.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Max didn\u2019t budge. \u201cYou\u2019re divorced from Ayla.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
That one sentence hit Troy like a bucket of ice water. His lips pressed into a hard line. His hands curled into fists at his sides, knuckles turning white.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Ayla turned to Casey. \u201cAre you okay?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Then she gave Troy a cold look, one that cut straight through him.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Troy\u2019s face went pale.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Ayla was actually checking on a male escort right in front of him?\u00a0<\/p>\n
Troy didn\u2019t even know what words could describe how terrible he felt in that moment.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Max frowned. Something was seriously off with Troy tonight.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Ayla noticed Casey only shaking his head, refusing to speak, but the sweat on his face said he was definitely not fine.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She reached to pull up his sleeve to check.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Suddenly, a long hand slipped in from the side.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Casey was pushed safely out of the way.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The movement looked gentle, almost effortless, but the strength behind it was undeniable.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Casey was shocked. He braced himself for another burst of pain, but he only took one step back and stayed standing.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Startled, he looked up. The man in front of him was half a head taller, calm as stone, but terrifying in a quieter way. Casey was petrified.\u00a0<\/p>\n
He already knew the gloomy man was Ayla\u2019s ex-husband, the kind of man whose anger you could feel.\u00a0<\/p>\n
But this man didn\u2019t even need to show emotion to make people afraid. He didn\u2019t glare. He didn\u2019t threaten. His presence alone pressed down like a weight.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Both men were dangerous in different ways. Either one of them was enough to make Casey\u2019s instincts\u00a0<\/p>\n
scream.\u00a0<\/p>\n
They were nothing like Max.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Tonight had really opened Casey\u2019s eyes.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Who were these people he\u2019d run into?\u00a0<\/p>\n
Ayla froze for a second when she saw Draven\u2019s sharp, handsome face. She called out, \u201cMr. Storm.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Draven sudden appearance didn\u2019t surprise her much.\u00a0<\/p>\n
And with Draven here, Troy couldn\u2019t really lose control. If they fought in a bar, the whole social circle would hear about it in less than half an hour. Martin would know too.\u00a0<\/p>\n
If they ever fought again, it would have to be in private, like what they had done in the courthouse.\u00a0<\/p>\n
But that probably wouldn\u2019t happen anymore.\u00a0<\/p>\n
They were both 28 years old, full-grown men. If they wanted to hurt each other, there were a hundred ways to do it without throwing punches.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Just as Ayla expected, Troy calmed down right away.\u00a0<\/p>\n
One second ago, he almost exploded. But the moment he saw Draven, the fire in him dropped.\u00a0<\/p>\n
His face looked cold and nothing else.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Troy let out a low, icy laugh and walked toward Draven.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Max had never seen how the brothers acted in private, but he knew how bad their relationship was. He reached out to stop Troy.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Troy brushed his hand away and stepped right up beside Draven.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The brothers stood shoulder to shoulder-similar build, similar height, both with a heavy presence. They looked intimidating together.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Everyone stepped back without thinking.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Casey had already backed up about fifteen feet. He looked genuinely scared.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Troy took another step forward and came close to Draven\u2019s side. He said in a voice only the two of them could hear, full of cutting mockery, \u201cSee that? Ayla hired a male escort, and she still won\u2019t look at you twice.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Draven\u2019s lips tightened at once.\u00a0<\/p>\n
It was a tiny reaction, but Troy knew him too well. He caught it instantly.\u00a0<\/p>\n
It bothered Draven. He cared.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Troy nearly erupted into laughter. Ayla ignoring him annoyed him sure, it did. But seeing Draven bothered? That wiped away every bit of irritation he had felt.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Suddenly, nothing hurt anymore.\u00a0<\/p>\n
After taking his jab, Troy looked straight at Ayla.\u00a0<\/p>\n
He had never really looked at her before, never focused on her, or paid attention.\u00a0<\/p>\n
her\u00a0<\/p>\n
For the first time, he really looked at her. His gaze locked on her, steady and focused, growing strangely deep.\u00a0<\/p>\n
His voice was calm. \u201cI\u2019ll talk to you later.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
And before Ayla could shoot back something sharp, he turned and walked away.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Ayla glared at his back, her face cold.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She hated looking at him from this angle and hated watching him leave. At least now she didn\u2019t feel hurt anymore. Ayla only felt like cutting him out of her life completely.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Who would want to stay in contact with him?\u00a0<\/p>\n
Did Troy even know what divorce meant?\u00a0<\/p>\n
Max, meanwhile, watched Ayla and Draven quietly.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Ayla\u2019s eyes followed Troy the whole time. She didn\u2019t spare Draven a single glance.\u00a0<\/p>\n
