Unveiling the Genius Behind the Divorcee Chapter 212 Chapter 212 Fostering Her New Romance As night fell, Aylin finished dealing with her companyâs affairs and took a ride back home.
As soon as the mahogany door of the Kochâs home was pushed open, a tall and handsome figure could be seen standing by the living room window.
Robert was holding his phone, seemingly talking to someone on a call.
The manâs usually gentle voice was now filled with coldness, âHow do you even handle things? Havenât I told you not to let that D-list model in? Do you take my words as mere whispers in the wind?
Iâm giving you one more chance to make her disappear from Aylinâs sight. If you fail again, you can all get lost, a bunch of useless idiots!â
The sound of the door opening made Robert, with his cold expression, turn his head.
In the moment he caught a glimpse of Aylin from the corner of his eye, he spoke his final words, âRemember what Iâve said!â
After saying that, the anger and resentment on his face disappeared instantly, as if melted away by a gentle spring rain. All that was left in his eyes and brows was affection, âAylin, are you back?â
He personally welcomed Aylin and invited her to sit on the couch.
âRobert, donât get so worked up, itâs bad for your health,â Aylin said as she pulled him to sit down on the couch, feeling touched.
âI know you care about me, but itâs not good to be so emotional all the time.â
âItâs nothing, just those incompetent fools... Never mind.â
Robert led Aylin to sit down, gently lifting his chin and pointing at a plate of exquisite American-style dessert on the table. âLook what Iâve brought you to eat,â he said with a smile.
Aylinâs eyes lit up when she saw the packaging, âFondanteâs Bakeryâs lemon cupcake?â
Fondanteâs Bakery is a renowned American-style dessert shop in New York, offering a limited number of servings each day. You can only purchase and get a ticket in the morning, and even then, itâs not guaranteed that youâll be able to buy one.
Aylinâs favorite treats from this place are the lemon cupcakes and strawberry cupcakes.
âWow, thank you, Robert.â
Holding the dessert, she flashed a radiant smile and returned to being the beloved little sister pampered by her brother. âRobert, you know me so well. After a long day, this is exactly what I want to eat.â
Robert gently touched her hair, his expression subtly shifting with complexity as he recalled the heated debates on Twitter.
He squinted and snorted, âI didnât expect that kid to actually have a change of heart. If only I hadnât answered the phone late, it wouldnât have been his turn.â
Aylin twisted a piece of lemon cupcake and slowly ate it, wondering, âThat kid? Robert, are you talking about Ryker?â
Robert glanced at Aylin, raising an eyebrow, âYou still donât know?â
âWhat do you know?â
After resolving the issue, Aylin returned to the company to handle business matters and didnât spend more time on Twitter looking at the public opinion entanglements.
Robertâs expression was subtle, and after a moment of silence, he said, âItâs Gavyn. Check Twitter.â Gavyn.
Did he also stick his nose in?
Aylin frowned as she opened Twitter and saw the top trending topic: [Vertex Entertainment acquired by the Delacruz Group.] As she scrolled down, all the recommended posts were about Sebastian going bankrupt and losing his reputation.
At this critical moment, acquiring Vertex Entertainment?
Robert didnât understand what Gavyn was up to, but he followed his intuition and let out an annoyed, cold hum while pursing his lips.
âNow we know how Aylin is doing, right? Itâs too late! He fed his conscience to the dogs long ago, and itâs no use having a change of heart now. Aylin, this guy is probably regretting his actions and trying to make amends with you. Donât fall for his tricks.â
âImpossible.â
Aylin shook her head calmly, âHe always thinks things through before acting; it couldnât possibly be because of me.â
Upon hearing this, Robertâs frown deepened. âWhy would he do all this? Iâve never heard of any issues between him and Sebastian before, and the Delacruz Group isnât even primarily focused on film and television.â
Why did they choose to acquire their company at such a critical moment?
To put it simply, this whole misunderstanding is like a muddy mess. Aylin has sufficient evidence and Rykerâs support to turn the situation around. Butting in would actually bring no benefits at all.
If itâs not a change of heart, Gavynâs argument doesnât make sense from a profit perspective.
âIt doesnât mean we canât acquire it just because itâs not our main focus in film and television.â
Aylinâs eyes were calm and composed, analyzing the situation entirely from the perspective of a company manager.
âAlthough the main business of the Delacruz Group is different from Vertex Entertainment, the sharp drop in Vertex Entertainmentâs stock price makes it a great time to invest. Whether we decide to sell later or venture into film and television, itâs a solid foundation to build upon.â
He was rendered speechless.
Robert watched as Aylin denied herself, remaining silent for a moment.
Perhaps itâs a manâs intuition.
He felt that Gavyn didnât necessarily do these things just for the sake of profit.
The damage done to Aylin over the past three years was immense, so much so that she didnât even. realize it herself. Even when such obvious protection was right in front of her, she couldnât believe that someone might be doing it for her sake.
He looked at Aylin with a pained expression and carefully said, âWhat if he really did it for you?â
âThat has nothing to do with me.â
Aylinâs expression was indifferent, as if discussing the weather. âWhatever he does, itâs his own choice. Once itâs over, itâs over. A good horse doesnât graze on the same patch of grass, especially if itâs cheap grass. I simply canât swallow that.â
Seeing her determined attitude, Robert no longer dwelled on it and said, âI knew it, our Aylin is a sharp-eyed and intelligent person.â
Smiling, Robert peeled a grape for Aylin and handed it to her. Suddenly, he paused, remembering there was another man who had stood up for Aylin.
âAylin.â
Robert observed Aylinâs expression without a hint of emotion, his eyes deep and mysterious like an ancient well, as if he was weighing something. âOn this matter, Ryker has helped you quite a bit, hasnât he?â
Aylin was eating grapes and responded with a nod.
Robert said, âWhat do you feel about him?â
âWhy are you suddenly asking this?â Aylin looked at him with a puzzled expression.
During this period, Robert has been introducing her to many handsome men, hoping that she can quickly move on from the shadow of her previous marriage.
âRobert doesnât want to become Cupid, does he?â
âDo I look that idle?â Robert said calmly, âIâm just asking.â
After giving it some thought, Aylin realized that Ryker was like a younger brother to her â gentle, considerate, attentive, and always able to make her happy.
âItâs really nice, you know. He has such a great personality, and being around him is so relaxing, without any pressure.â She said this with a relaxed expression, her eyes filled with a hint of laughter.
Robert pursed his lips.
Although he was just casually asking, he actually wanted to probe Aylinâs feelings for that young man. It seems that her emotions are still quite deep.
He pursed his lips and paused for a moment, his handsome eyebrows furrowing and then relaxing. After a while, he murmured softly, âWhy is there such a big gap in the type of people you like? The person you liked before was so different...â
