Unveiling the Genius Behind the Divorcee Chapter 161
Chapter 161 A Thing of the Past
Aylin fondly recalled Nina sitting by the window, her head lowered as she worked on her embroidery.
Her slender neck slightly bent, exuding an unparalleled grace and beauty.
Her voice was filled with emotion as she said, “As long as I can fulfill my mom’s wishes and do what
she loves, I’m not afraid of anything!”
Daniel also thought of that stunningly talented person, and as he looked at Aylin, who bore a striking
resemblance to Nina, he couldn’t help but feel a sense of being in a different world.
Aylin could also be considered someone he watched grow up. From her clever and adorable childhood
to her current astute and capable self, able to hold her own, it’s hard not to exclaim how time flies.
He reassured her, “Good, since the young lady has such courage and ambition, I will definitely do my
best to assist you!”
Daniel’s smile carried a hint of deep emotion. After a moment, he said, “By the way, Ms. Koch, I wasn’t
able to make progress on the matter you asked me to investigate earlier.”
Aylin raised an eyebrow and asked, “What do you mean?”
Daniel frowned, reporting his findings from the investigation. “Hanson’s driver seems to have vanished
into thin air. I think someone deliberately erased his tracks, and I can’t find his whereabouts.
As for Hanson, he’s not meddling with the company anymore. I heard he’s been short on cash lately
and is thinking about making a living by dealing in antiques.”
“Dealing with antiques?”
Aylin sneered, “He’s neither a history major nor skilled in antique appraisal. With his abilities, he’s
bound to lose money sooner or later.”
There was no denying the truth, so the two of them discussed further on how to develop the
embroidery project. Finally, Aylin made the decision, “Daniel, you have a wide network and are familiar
with New York. I’ll leave the market research and survey tasks to you.”
Daniel patted his chest confidently, “Don’t worry, Ms. Koch, I used to do this kind of work!”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtBefore leaving, Daniel reminded Aylin a few more times to eat well and not to overwork herself. After
saying this, he gently closed the door and left with a sense of relief.
After Daniel left, Aylin was the only one remaining in the spacious CEO’s office. Having just
experienced a brainstorming session, she leaned back in her chair and closed her eyes to rest.
A sound suddenly rang out.
The sound of a push notification from the mobile phone interrupted this brief moment of relaxation.
Aylin picked up her phone and saw the financial news.
It wrote: [The CEO of the Delacruz Group generously donated three Hope Primary Schools to
impoverished counties, stating that children are the hope of the nation.]
Aylin raised her eyebrows.
She casually scrolled through the comments, noticing that the Delacruz Group’s reputation, which had
taken a hit due to the recent grand wedding, had already made a swift turnaround.
In the comments section, people are praising Gavyn for his kindness, saying that he is a conscientious
entrepreneur who knows how to give back to society. The charitable deeds done by the Delacruz family
in the past have also been brought to light and are highly commended.
Almost everyone sympathizes with Gavyn.
One wrote: [Mr. Delacruz has practically no scandals, and yet such a good man’s deep affection is
wasted on a promiscuous woman. I feel like killing someone!]
Another commented: (Exactly, what is this woman thinking? It’s so hard to find such a good man these
days, even with a lantern! Is she brain-damaged or something?]
A person wrote: [What a great man he is! It’s just that he was blind to see, and ended up with the
wrong person!]
Another wrote: [Ah, deep affection has always been taken for granted, it seems even the wealthy
families are no exception…]
The woman sympathized with him, while the man felt indignant on his behalf. All the blame was
directed at Laila, and the insults towards her were overwhelming!
And the stock price of the Delacruz Group visibly increased.
Gavyn was portrayed as a deeply devoted and heartbroken good man, which made Aylin couldn’t help
but scoff in her heart.
But this was also within her expectations.
The Delacruz family has always excelled in crisis management, which can be attributed to the system
that Gavyn single-handedly cultivated. External PR firms simply can’t compare.
When it comes to controlling public opinion and engaging in business warfare, Gavyn has always
been a master at it.
Steve had several sons over the years, but none of them were particularly useful. Some were
spendthrifts, others were lazy, and not a single one could be entrusted with any significant
responsibility. Even Felix was just of average ability.
The only one with any prospects was Gavyn’s aunt, the sole daughter of the Delacruz family. However,
she had no interest in business and instead devoted herself to her studies, ultimately pursuing a career
in academic field, staying away from the stench of money.
In the end, Steve’s gaze finally settled on Gavyn.
She still remembers when Steve told her about this, his eyes even brimming with tears. “This kid, he’s
a gift from heaven, sent to save our Delacruz family.”
There’s no denying it; it’s not that Steve favors Gavyn, but rather Gavyn’s abilities are so formidable
that they simply cannot be ignored.
Gavyn’s cousins from this generation were all raised by their parents in a life of luxury and comfort,
unfamiliar with the ways of the world. All they knew was how to indulge in extravagance and squander
their wealth.
Only Gavyn, since his youth, has displayed an extraordinary sense of rationality and calmness. He
never indulged in the pleasures of nightlife or alcohol, nor was he immersed in entertainment. Instead,
he spent his days reading, exercising, and after meals, he would follow Felix to the company to learn
how to manage affairs.
Steve’s words were spot on. In the end, it was indeed Gavyn who, at a young age, shouldered the
heavy burden of the entire Delacruz family.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmOnce upon a time, she was also infatuated with him because of these things.
However, Aylin’s feelings are now only for Steve. No matter how outstanding and charming Gavyn may
be, he is just a thing of the past for her.
Aylin sat up straight and continued working.
Just as I opened the folder, my phone rang again. This time, it wasn’t a notification alert, but rather
an urgent ringtone.
On the other side, Gavyn, who had just been recalled by Aylin, pushed the accelerator to the very edge
of traffic regulations, recklessly speeding down the road in his car.
It felt as if there was a fire burning inside him, making it impossible for him to wait any longer. Aylin had
too many secrets, and he wanted to understand, to unravel the mysteries that plagued
him!
He wanted to get to know Aylin again, to become acquainted with the people around her, and to
rediscover everything about her.
But Aylin seemed to be constantly distancing herself from her.
Upon thinking about this, Gavyn felt extremely uncomfortable all over.
With mixed feelings, Gavyn arrived at the Koch Group. Taking a long stride, he quickly walked up to the
reception desk and said, “I’m looking for Aylin.”
The man standing in front of her was exceptionally handsome, causing the receptionist to momentarily
lose focus. However, she quickly regained her composure and replied according to protocol, “I’m sorry,
sir, but Ms. Koch is not in the office right now.”
Not at the company?
Gavyn’s brow furrowed slightly. It was clearly work hours, so where could Aylin be if she wasn’t at the
company?
“Where did she go?”
The receptionist said with a smile, “I’m not sure about that, Ms. Koch doesn’t report her whereabouts to
us.”
“Excuse me.”
Gavyn kept a straight face as he walked out, and while walking, he dialed Lloyd’s number, “I need
Aylin’s location right now, immediately!”
Lloyd was confused
