Unveiling the Genius Behind the Divorcee Chapter 128
Chapter 128 Protecting Her
Aylin’s fingers gently paused around Steve’s hand, her expression tinged withplexity.
She knew that Steve genuinely loved her as a daughter-inw, and his affection for her was truly
heartfelt.
If it were the her from the past, she would have been overjoyed.
Now that she has regained her memory, she is no longer willing to be that humble housewife who bows
her head and loses her self-esteem for love.
Aylin whispered softly, “Grandpa Steve, I appreciate your kindness, but I just don’t have feelings for him
anymore.”
The past three years seem to have been like a dream.
The furnishings and decorations in the Dcruz’s home remained unchanged, but she was no longer a
part of this family.
Things have changed, and so have we. With a hint of emotion in her voice, Aylin said, “Maybe we really
aren’t meant to be together. You’ve seen how we’ve been getting along these past three years,
Grandpa Steve. We’ve already held each other back for so long, and now my life is slowly getting back
on track. Forcing something that isn’t meant to be will never make it sweet, and I’m sure you
understand that, Grandpa Steve.”
How could one not understand?
Steve looked deeply into Aylin’s eyes, his wrinkled face sagging, unable to hide the overwhelming
sense of destion.
He let out a long sigh, “It seems you’ve made up your mind. Poor Gavyn, he’s just not fortunate enough
to continue living this life with you.”
Steve rubbed his forehead, “Forget it, let’s not talk about that. Aylin, you haven’t told me when you
learned to drive?”
“Oh, this? I am-”
Aylin was just about to answer with a smile when, halfway through her sentence, there came a knock
on the door from outside.
Alfred respectfully said, “Old Mr. Dcruz, Mrs. Haleigh Dcruz, and Ms. Dcruz have returned and
are waiting outside.”
Steve’s face darkened, and he snorted, “So they finally decided toe back! Let them all in, and tell
that rascal Gavyn to get in here too!”
Yes.
With permission granted, Alfred turned and led Haleigh and her two children into the house.

The door creaked open, and Carmen, with a worried expression, rushed, in first. “Grandpa, you walked
so fast, you had me worried to death! How are you?”
However, she had barely taken two steps when her legs, d in high heels, felt as if they were filled
with lead, stiffening and freezing in ce.
Suddenly, a furious roar erupted.
“How did you get here?”
“Who’s there? Stop shouting and making a fuss.”
Following closely behind, Haleigh frowned and said, “You’re a well-bred youngdy, after all. Try to be
moreposed and don’t make a fuss about everything-”
Suddenly, she saw Aylin.
“How did you get here?” She eximed in surprise, even louder than Carmen, ring at Aylin with a
hostile gaze.
Aylin seemed as if she hadn’t noticed at all, her demeanor elegant, still smiling and chatting with Steve,
rxed as if she were the host.
In an instant, anger surged within Haleigh’s heart.
Even though she doesn’t like La now, it doesn’t stop her from equally despising Aylin. Both of them
are the kind of people who will do anything for money and are full of lies!
Not to mention, this unsophisticated bumpkin even dares to repeatedly defy her!
Haleigh’s anger surged from within, her voice sharp and piercing, “Aylin, who gave you permission to
come in? Get out of here right now!”
“Shut up!”
With a ng, Steve struck his new cane, his sharp gaze full of authority. “Stop shouting! I invited Aylin
here, and if anyone has a problem with her, they can leave. I won’t tolerate any screaming!”
Haleigh had always been somewhat fearful of her father-inw. Back when Aylin was still married, she
would constantly bully his daughter-inw. Many times, it was Steve who had to step in and teach him
a lesson.
At this moment, she didn’t dare to argue back after being scolded. She could only grit her teeth and
mumble softly, “This isn’t even her house, and I can’t even speak my mind…”
However, with just one re from Steve, shepletely shut her mouth, reluctantly backing down from
her stance.
Haleigh, as a daughter-inw, was afraid of being scolded by her father-inw, but Carmen was not.
She looked at Aylin with extreme disgust, her arms crossed, and couldn’t help but sneer.
Even though La’s deception left her extremely dissatisfied, and that woman had long been nailed to
the pir of shame in her heart, there was still one thing she didn’t get wrong.
Aylin was materialistic and scheming, indeed the most likely person to expose La’s dark secrets out
of jealousy!
It could very well be her doing, exposing the family’s dirtyundry for all the wedding guests to see,
causing the entire Dcruz family to lose face together!
The more Carmen thought about it, the more she felt it was right!
The thought of this woman causing the Dcruz family to lose face, and not knowing how much crisis
management it would take to cover it up, made Carmen extremely frustrated.
“Grandpa, why are you defending her!”
Carmen rudely pointed at Aylin with a disdainful look, “She’s nothing but a scheming, envious country
girl! Even after divorcing my brother, she can’t stand to see the Dcruz family doing well. She’s
jealous of La, and today’s incident might just be her doing, taking revenge on the Dcruz family!
Hmph, a woman with such malicious intentions doesn’t deserve to enter the Dcruz residence!”
Although Haleigh didn’t dare to speak up, she kept nodding vigorously in agreement on the side!
Steve’s face darkened, and it seemed like he was about to explode with anger.
“Enough!”
Gavyn, who had been silent all along, finally spoke up. His icy gaze swept over the imposing Carmen,
“She didn’t do this.”
