Unveiling the Genius Behind the Divorcee Chapter 189
Chapter 189 Is She Insinuating Something?
The tug-of-war has undoubtedly reached a white-hot stage.
This time, Aylin didn’t make an immediate decision. Instead, she pondered for a moment before raising
her sign. “90,000 dollars.”
Gavyn said, “97,500 dollars.”
Aylin frowns, “99,000 dollars.”
“105 thousand dollars.”
“109,500 dollars!”
He was rendered speechless.
Gavyn decided that she didn’t appreciate it, and finally raised the sign, “180 thousand dollars.”
The brand manager was almost moved to tears, as he never expected to find someone so
knowledgeable and appreciative in this place, willing to pay a high price for this precious piece of
embroidery art.
-The auctioneer called out, “180 thousand dollars for the first time!”
Aylin didn’t raise her sign again. Instead, she lowered her gaze slightly and fell silent.
Seeing that she was no longer raising the bid, Ryker immediately asked with concern, “What’s wrong,
Aylin? Don’t you have enough money? I have some here, I can help you win the auction.”
Aylin shook her head, “No need, I don’t want this painting anymore.”
Ryker, puzzled, asked, “Why? But you clearly really like this painting, don’t you?”
The auctioneer, of course, wouldn’t wait for them to finish speaking. As the words were exchanged, the
gavel had already struck down. “180 thousand dollars, going once, going twice, going three
times! Sold!”
“I declare, this exquisite embroidery portrait belongs to Mr. Delacruz…
Ryker watched as Aylin lost something she cherished deeply, feeling even worse than if he had lost
money himself. “Aylin, why don’t you just give up?”
Aylin’s expression was calm as she said, “I mentally evaluate everything and have a psychological
bottom line. Once something crosses that line, no matter how much I like it, I will let it go. I won’t dwell
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇton the sunk costs that came before.”
When she spoke these words, her expression was calm and undisturbed, but Gavyn somehow
perceived a deeper meaning behind them.
Get Boy
The delightful feeling of acquiring a beloved item vanished in an instant.
In Aylin’s words, every sentence seemed to carry a hidden meaning.
It seemed as if he was the very thing that Aylin had given up on.
It is quite possible that Aylin married him for the sake of another man, and there are suspicions of
infidelity.
After finding a new love outside, she felt that her husband was a worthless and disposable object,
not worth investing in.
How could this woman be so heartless!
Gavyn tightly gripped the tall wine glass, feeling extremely annoyed as he thought about the day’s
events.
It was clear that he was the one betrayed by Aylin, and somehow ended up as the scapegoat. Why on
earth did this woman have the right to be angrier than him!
Inside the main hall, the auction was in full swing, bustling with excitement.
With Aylin and Gavyn’s heated competition, the atmosphere was incredibly lively. Many of the exhibits
were auctioned off at higher prices than usual.
Various precious jewels, antiques, and calligraphy paintings have all found their ideal buyers.
“Ladies and gentlemen.”
The host didn’t present any items this time. Glancing at his watch, he said, “Everyone has been
sitting for quite a while, and I’m sure you’re all tired. Let’s take a short break from the auction. Feel
free to grab a drink and then come back to continue admiring the exhibits.”
One after another, everyone began to stand up.
Ryker turned his head and softly asked Aylin, “Aylin, shall we go too? Let’s head to the private lounge
and relax for a bit. Or would you prefer to step outside for some fresh air?”
Today, Aylin is wearing high heels and doesn’t want to walk too far. “Let’s go to the private lounge,” she
suggests.
Gavyn’s gaze never left Aylin, even when admiring the exhibits, his peripheral vision still remained
on her.
As a result, he couldn’t even remember what several of the exhibits were.
Even he himself hadn’t realized that Aylin had inadvertently influenced his usual calm and
composure.
Seeing Aylin leave, Gavyn instinctively followed her.
“Mr. Delacruz!”
However, after only taking a few steps and passing two seats, a man dressed in a suit and leather
shoes approached to strike up a conversation. “It’s been a while since we last met. We worked together
on a previous project. Do you still remember me?”
The visitor was Ricky Zacker, the son of the Zacker Group, and also the project manager who had
previously collaborated with the Delacruz Group.
Although Gavyn wasn’t very familiar with him, he couldn’t completely ignore him either. He gave a
faint nod and said, “Long time no see, Mr. Zacker.”
After greeting everyone, Gavyn was about to leave when Ricky stopped him. “Mr. Delacruz, our last
collaboration was a pleasure, but unfortunately, you’ve been quite busy and we haven’t been able to
meet up. Coincidentally, my friend just opened a new restaurant. How about we catch up after the
auction ends?”
In just the few short seconds it took to turn around and listen to him speak, Aylin had already walked far
away.
A graceful figure swayed and flashed past the doorway.
Gavyn was consumed with anxiety, as if his soul had been ripped from his body. Though he stood here
physically, his heart had long since followed Aylin to another place.
He really couldn’t stand people who lacked social awareness. Not to mention being asked out for a
meal, his face immediately fell, looking as if he had been plunged into an icy cavern, “I don’t have
time.”
Leaving behind only these three cold words, Gavyn walked away without looking back. His expression
was as if Ricky owed him tens of thousands of dollars.
“Ah, Mr. Delacruz… What’s going on with this person…?”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmRicky was left baffled by his poker face.
It was a rare occasion to meet Gavyn. He thought that the two of them had a few encounters before,
and he originally intended to get closer to him. However, who would have thought that he would be
blasted right from the start?
Did you eat gunpowder?
But didn’t he get what he wanted? Why is he so angry?
After scratching his neck, Ricky still couldn’t figure it out.
Meanwhile.
Get Bonus
Aylin and Ryker entered his private lounge.
The interior decoration was elegant and refreshing, with warm colors that didn’t compromise on
style. A subtle hint of soothing woody fragrance filled the air, which should have been calming.
However, she was unable to find any sense of tranquility.
Irritation swirled in her heart with nowhere to vent, causing Aylin to throw several punches at the large
punching bag hanging by the window as soon as she entered the room!
Gavyn clearly didn’t understand how to appreciate zardozi, yet he still insisted on arguing with her!
It was annoying.
That necklace was one of a kind, featuring the ancient zardozi technique, a rarity in all of New York,
and Gavyn just snatched it away!
She is a professional boxer, and even when dressed in an elegant gown, her movements are not
hindered. With just a few punches, she sends the punching bag swaying back and forth!
But due to her incredibly stable poise, her hair only swayed gently without covering her face. Her
delicate eyebrows and eyes were exquisitely charming, making her whole demeanor both noble and
spirited.
“The captivating contradiction blended together, creating a beauty that made it impossible for Ryker
to look away.
“Aylin.”
A hint of enduring affection flashed in his eyes. After a long pause, he stepped forward and said, “Don’t
get angry over people like that. It’s not worth harming yourself.”
