Unveiling the Genius Behind the Divorcee

Chapter 274

Chapter 273 She Is the Forefather

He hurriedly stepped forward to stop her and said anxiously, “Ms. Koch, it’s a bit early to leave now. What if Mr. Delacruz wakes up and looks for you… His life is at stake now!”

It took him a lot of effort to get her here.

Lloyd’s face was full of sincerity, and he cried out anxiously because he did not want Aylin to leave.

“I’ll come back.”

Aylin explained helplessly, “I’m just going out for a while. You don’t have to cry like this, do you?”

There was no special computer around, so she had to go to the car to get it.

“R-Really?”

Lloyd still did not dare to let go.

Aylin frowned. “I won’t lie to you!”

Seeing Aylin’s face darkening, Lloyd loosened his hand and looked at her eagerly as she left, shouting, “Come back quickly, Ms. Koch.”

Lloyd thought, Mr. Delacruz, I can only do this for you!

Aylin returned to her car and took out the laptop from her tote bag.

She powered the computer on, connected to the internet, and plugged in the disk in one go.

Her slender fingers flickered over the keyboard at an amazing speed, and Aylin’s expression was more serious than ever before.

The matter concerned Gavyn’s safety; she would never take it lightly.

Finally, the IP address was located in a place she was so familiar with.

A result that made her angry was right in front of her eyes. Her cousins actually caused Gavyn’s injury, as she had guessed.

This was making trouble for her.

Aylin gritted her teeth and called Harry.

However, after ringing a few times, no one answered. Aylin frowned and immediately called Robert instead.

Robert picked up quickly and said lazily on the other end of the phone, “Hello,”

Aylin?”

Aylin said in a deep voice, “Did you send someone to beat Gavyn up?”

“Ah, you know all about it.”

Robert was very proud of this confession. “I’ve disliked that guy for a long time. If I don’t teach him a lesson to get rid of his arrogance, I won’t be surnamed Gardner!”

Robert continued, “How about it, Aylin? Is it enough? I’ve ordered them to beat him hard. I have to teach him a lesson!’

He chuckled and asked for credit, but the next second he was reprimanded by Aylin. “Are you a child? Do you know what you’ve done?”

At the party, Robert even boasted to the rich brats next to him that someone

was missing before answering the phone, so he put the call on speaker.

Unexpectedly, there was a reprimand from the other end of the phone. Not to mention Robert, everyone was stunned by this anger.

In an instant, the place became silent.

Everyone was waiting for the young master of the Gardner family to get angry.

“What’s wrong, Aylin? Don’t be angry. I just wanted to help you out.”

There was silence from the other end of the call. Exclusive content © by Nô(v)el/Dr/ama.Org.

The crowd was stunned. Someone could not help but whisper, “Who is it? How can Mr. Gardner coax the other person so nicely?”

“It sounds like a woman. Could it be his new girlfriend?”

One of the insiders who knew Robert frowned. “That’s impossible! He’s the only one who can dump a woman. How can he coax her personally?”

“This is strange…”

The young master of the Gardner family was known to be carefree and bad-tempered in the circle. Others only begged and obeyed him.

This was the first time a woman had dared to be so fierce to him.

That person must be very powerful.

Everyone pricked up their ears, not wanting to miss the gossip.

The woman on the opposite side showed no mercy at all and scolded, “Don’t you think about the consequences before you do anything? If you act rashly, and if he sues you in court, you will only make me get entangled more with him, which is not good for the company and my reputation at all!”

“Besides, his family has been in New York for so many years, and their forces are greatly intertwined. Do you really think he is easy to mess with?”

Robert felt wronged. “What are you afraid of? I’ll protect you. With me around, no one will dare to bother you!”

“Are you still unable to see things clearly?”

Aylin said in a deep voice, “I told you long ago not to do anything at will. If it’s really for my own good, why would you do something I don’t want to see?”

“I…”

This was the first time Aylin was so angry with him. Robert opened his mouth, quite at a loss for words.

“Then, even if I was wrong, it was unintentional. Aylin, don’t be so angry.”

Robert had never been treated so ferociously in his entire life. However, he could not do anything as the person in front of him was his beloved cousin.

“But… how can you yell at me for that guy? He was the one who had a problem first!”

Robert’s face fell, and he pouted. He could not even drink the water handed by others, let alone wine.

Others saw his eyebrows drooping like a frosted eggplant.

They could not believe it.

They thought, Is this still the reckless and unruly young master of the Gardner family?

Everyone was even more curious about the woman on the other end of the phone.

“A dog bit you. Are you going to bite it back too? I know you’re doing it for my own good, but this time, you’re too immature.”

Aylin frowned. When he thought of Gavyn’s pale face, her heart seemed to be grabbed by an invisible hand, and she could not breathe.

If anything happened to him, there would be countless troubles in the future.

“Don’t do it again!”

After saying that, Aylin quickly hung up the phone.

Only the disappointed Robert and his hesitant friends remained.

*******

Robert could not figure out how his good intention turned bad. Gavyn had treated his precious cousin coldly for three years, wronged her, and made her suffer. It was just right that he was punished.

His friend patted him gently on the shoulder to comfort him with a complicated expression.

“Your new girlfriend?”

“No.”

“That is?”

“Forefather,” Robert answered.

In the ward, Gavyn slowly opened his eyes. The intense light stimulated him, and he squinted his eyes uncomfortably.

Lloyd greeted him happily, “Mr. Delacruz? You’re awake? That’s great!”

“Water.”

Hearing that, Lloyd hurriedly took a paper cup and brought it to Gavyn’s mouth. Gavyn took a sip and said hoarsely, “Where’s Aylin?”

Lloyd was stunned. “W-What?”

“I remember she was here just now. I even held her hand.” Gavyn looked at his empty palm and moved his fingers slightly.

If his emotions could be vividly represented, Lloyd would have been speechless.

When he woke up, he did not ask about anything else. He just wanted to talk to Aylin.

That was fine.

Gavyn really fell for Aylin.

“She said she has something to do and will return soon.

Speak of the devil! Lloyd was lamenting Gavyn’s relationship when the sound of rustling footsteps came from far away.

Aylin gently pushed open the door. “How is he?”
