Unveiling the Genius Behind the Divorcee Chapter 168 Chapter 168 When Love Rivals Meet Upon seeing Lailaâs pretense of vulnerability, Aylin felt nauseated and responded with a cold smirk, âSo what if I have a Gold Card? Do I need to discuss it with Mr. Delacruz?
Also, I donât want to say anything too harsh, but I had my eye on that tie first. Spreading rumors... is against the law!â
Laila, frightened by Aylin, blinked and a large teardrop rolled down her cheek. She timidly moved closer to Gavyn and said, âMs. Koch, youâve already ruined my wedding. Isnât that enough?
Why wonât you let me go?
Iâm willing to give you my tie, but forcing me to kneel is just too much.â Then, she sobbed.
She tugged on Gavynâs sleeve, showing him her injury, âGavyn, look, she even hit my face.â
Everyone on the side couldnât help but twitch their mouths as they watched.
This woman must have schizophrenia, right?
Gavyn was getting increasingly annoyed by Lailaâs constant whining and crying.
If it had been in the past, he might have felt some pity for Laila. However, after the wedding incident, his trust in Laila had plummeted to an all-time low. Besides, he wasnât here for Laila in the first place, and he didnât even want to see her pretending to be pitiful!
The only thing he cared about was that Aylin had gotten involved with this man named Ryker again!
Calculate the time.
She is quite likely having an affair within her marriage!
Gavyn was just about to stop Laila when he heard her sobbing pitifully, âIâm injured and havenât fully recovered yet. That slap made my head so dizzy... She clearly saw that I couldnât stand properly and still let someone hit me, she obviously wanted to take my life!â
Laila lifted her head, her eyes brimming with tears as she looked at Gavyn. âGavyn, have I truly committed such a grave sin that I must pay with my life?â
That last sentence was obviously hinting at Gavyn. Donât you remember the life-saving favor I once did for you?
Gavynâs brow twitched.
He really couldnât ignore the fact that Laila had saved him, so he turned to face Aylin and said coldly, âYou went too far. How could you hit someone over such a trivial matter?â
âTsk.â
Aylin sneered coldly, âIf someoneâs asking for trouble, why shouldnât I teach them a lesson?
I advise you, Mr. Delacruz, to keep your woman in check. Otherwise, today itâs a slap, but next time it might be boiling water!â
Ryker was also infuriated by Gavynâs accusations and defended Aylin, retorting, âMr. Delacruz, youâre playing the role of a self-
righteous crusader without knowing; the whole story. I was the one who hit her, and thatâs because she was spreading malicious lies with her venomous words. A slap was actually too lenient!â
âI didnât-âLaila stammered in defense.
âShut up, you!â
Ryker narrowed his eyes slightly, clearly dissatisfied with Gavyn. âWhy do you insist that Aylin hurt. that two-faced bitch without checking the surveillance camera or listening to the testimonies of the people around?â
He immediately recounted the incident. âAylin was the first to take a liking to that tie, but Laila couldnât stand the thought of someone else taking it, so she started cursing loudly. Do you know how vicious her words were? As a woman, I canât even bring myself to repeat what she said. The people around us must have heard it all.
Do you think she was treated unfairly when she was hit?â
The surrounding shop assistants also nodded in agreement, whispering among themselves. Indeed, these were the words Laila had used to scold, and they had all heard it loud and clear.
Gavynâs piercing gaze turned towards Laila.
Laila suddenly felt flustered and her face turned pale as she defended herself, âI... I just snapped back in anger, I didnât... say anything that harsh....
Gavyn, I really didnât do anything. Sheâs the one who hit me first, and I only reacted after being hit-â
âEnough!â
Gavyn was already quite annoyed, and seeing Aylin and Ryker working together so seamlessly, appearing to have an incredibly close relationship, only made him feel even more irritated!
He looked at Laila coldly, his mouth corners filled with indifference, âSince youâre not feeling well, go back to the hospital and rest.â
âI donât-â
âIf you recover from your illness, you can go straight home if you want.â
Lailaâs face was filled with astonishment, and she didnât dare to call out again.
She was already kicked out of her home, where else could she go back to? Gavynâs words were a warning to her that if she continued to make a fuss, he wouldnât care about her life or death!
She had thought that Gavynâs arrival would be her support, but to her surprise, he barely spoke up for her. Instead, he scolded her in front of Aylin, causing her embarrassment!
Laila was filled with resentment, and before leaving, she shot Aylin a fierce, menacing glance.
Itâs all because of this bitch that she ended up in such a terrible situation. She must, absolutely must, get her revenge!
In the store, Laila was either throwing tantrums and yelling loudly or sobbing and wailing as if in mourning. In short, there was no peace to be found.
As soon as she left, the surroundings immediately became much quieter.
The shop assistants all felt their ears were much more at ease. Lailaâs whining and pretending to be pitiful was just like the buzzing of a mosquito, annoying to death!
Aylin noticed Gavyn still standing in the store and furrowed her brow.
Why are you just standing here if you love your first crush so much? Why not go with them?
Aylin glanced for just a second before coldly looking away. She spoke to Ryker and then instructed the shop assistant to get a paper bag and proceed with the payment.
Suddenly, in the vast shoe and sock area, only Gavyn and Ryker were left.
When rivals in love meet, jealousy is particularly evident in their eyes.
Moreover, itâs a naturally possessive and combative male.
âWhat, being a model doesnât make enough money, so you have to rely on women to buy things for you?â
Gavynâs talent for mockery was profound, and he never had a kind word to say. With the air of a superior, he slightly raised his chin and looked down at Ryker, his eyes filled with disdain. âTrue, weâre divorced, but at least we once had a marital relationship.
No matter what, itâs better than dealing with someone of unknown origin. When I talk to my ex-wife, I donât want outsiders to butt in!â
Aylin quickly paid the bill with a swipe of her card. As soon as she returned, she heard Gavyn talking big and couldnât help but feel speechless.
But Ryker is no pushover either.
In the past, he was gentle and well-behaved towards Aylin because he liked her, but that didnât mean he was a pushover who could be easily manipulated by others.
âSo what if you were married for three years? Itâs still annulled now, isnât it? Aylin and I have been good friends for many years.
Iâve known her longer than you have, and I understand her far better than you, her unqualified ex-husband!
The one who has no right to boss her around is you!â
Gavynâs gaze suddenly turned cold. If he was angry before, now his eyes were filled with a layer of bloodthirsty murderous intent!
