Unveiling the Genius Behind the Divorcee

Chapter 148 Taking Her Own Life

Confusion enveloped Gavyn's heart like an inescapable cloud, impossible to ignore and even harder to calm himself completely.

 The coffee in the study had turned ice-cold, yet the man never picked it up.

 Adam was busily attending to his duties in the living room when he suddenly heard a noise from the study door. Gavyn, carrying his coat, hurried down the stairs with a cold, stern expression on his face, and headed outside, moving as swiftly as a gust of wind.

 It's so late, where is Mr. Delacruz going?

 "Don't bother preparing dinner for me tonight."

 Gavyn saw Adam and gave him instructions. Without looking back, he left urgently, eager to figure everything out. Owned by NôvelDrama.Org.

 As soon as I stepped out, my phone rang.

 Upon seeing Lloyd, Gavyn's expression brightened slightly. Could it be that there was progress in the investigation he had ordered?

 "Lloyd."

 Over there, Lloyd's voice was extremely anxious and seemed quite troubled, "Mr. Delacruz, it's about Ms. Marsh. Since you didn't answer her call, she called me instead.

 She said... she can't go on living and wants to die!"

 Having witnessed the farce at the wedding, Lloyd's fondness for Laila plummeted. However, the woman's mournful cries seemed genuine, and with a life at stake, he reluctantly took a risk and informed Gavyn.

 He couldn't quite figure out Gavyn's attitude towards Laila at the moment, so he could only act as a messenger for now.

 Gavyn raised an eyebrow, "Is she trying to take her own life?"

 "Yes... just now, Ms. Marsh was crying and said she wanted to find you. As she spoke, her voice became weaker and weaker, as if she was very frail."

 Lloyd was on the other end, anxiously holding his forehead, "Something didn't sound right, so I asked her, and she said she didn't want to live anymore... I really had no choice but to call you!"

 Gavyn's expression was complicated, as if he wanted to say something more, but suddenly there was no sound on the other end of the phone. Upon checking, he realized that the line had been occupied.

 Laila's phone rang again.

 Gavyn, with a cold expression on his face, remained silent for a moment before swiping the screen.

21:07

 Gavyn, with a cold expression on his face, remained silent for a moment before swiping the screen.

 The moment the phone connected, the woman's sorrowful cries came through continuously from the other end. Her voice was weak and strained, as if she was struggling to breathe.

 "Gavyn! Sob, sob... Please don't hang up on me. Can we talk, please?"

 Laila cried out in anguish, her voice filled with a pleading tone, "Now I have nothing left. I know you're angry and don't want to listen to me, but... but my family has been deceived too. They think I've disgraced them and kicked me out."

 Laila tried to speak through her sobs, barely able to hold back her tears. "I have no home left, Gavyn. All I have now is you..."

 The two of them were communicating over the phone, so Gavyn couldn't see the sinister look in Laila's eyes at that moment.

 Every word and sentence she spoke sounded extremely sincere, but deep down, she was constantly cursing Aylin!

 It's all because of this despicable person, it's all because of their jealousy towards her!

 When she makes her comeback, Aylin must also experience the pain of failure and disgrace!

 The resentment surged in her heart, but Laila's voice was full of pity, "Gavyn, I just want to see you once, just once. Can we talk, please?"

 Gavyn's eyes were icy cold, "I'm very busy right now, I don't have time."

 Laila felt a sudden lump in her throat!

 She tried her best to comfort Gavyn, but this was the only response she received.

 It's impossible not to be angry!

 At this moment, it was crucial not to reveal anything. Tears streamed down Laila's face, as if she had been hurt beyond repair. In pain, she said, "Gavyn, I know you still blame me, don't you?"

 She suddenly let out a cold laugh, as if mocking herself, "Anyway, there's nothing in this life worth holding onto. Since Gavyn doesn't believe me, I might as well prove my innocence through death and leave this world with a clean slate."

 After all, Laila had acted before, and she was excellent at controlling her tone, making her words sound truly sorrowful. Anyone who didn't know the situation would really think that she had suffered a great injustice.

 Upon hearing the four words "prove with death," Gavyn's brows still twitched involuntarily.

 The sound of the wind whistled through the phone receiver on the other end.

 Gavyn's face was colder than the icy wind, "Where have you been?"

 Laila was overjoyed, there was still hope!

 She spoke with an air of detachment, as if she had seen through the world's illusions: "I'm at Hans Hotel, 162 West Street. Gavyn, if you still cherish the bond we formed when we first met, please come and see me one last time. If you don't, we can only meet again in our next life..."

 After hanging up the phone, Gavyn's face had become extremely unpleasant to look at.

 The man closed the car door with a stern expression on his face. He pressed down on the accelerator, causing the engine to roar. He then turned on the navigation system and changed the destination for this trip.

 After the farce of the wedding, with witnesses and evidence present, the truth was as clear as day, even a blind person could see what it was.

 He is not someone who doesn't allow a girl to have a past.

 However, deception was something he could never tolerate.

 Now, this girl was vastly different from the pure and kind-hearted girl he had known before, and it was impossible for him to marry her again.

 After all, she had saved his life.

 Gavyn may not respond to her feelings, but he cannot stand idly by and watch his benefactor risk their life.

 Hans Hotel on West Street is nothing more than an ordinary three-star hotel. With its poor location and average surroundings, it relies on its limited clientele to attract business.

 During this time, not many people were around, and the young lady at the front desk was dozing off on the counter. Suddenly, she heard a commotion nearby and woke up in a daze.

 Upon seeing this, she was astonished!

 The man who entered the room was tall and well-built, dressed exquisitely, with facial features as if crafted by the Creator's own hand. He seemed like a model straight out of a magazine, stepping into real life.

 These ordinary citizens had never seen such a handsome and distinguished man before, dressed head to toe in luxury brands. Any single item he wore was worth more than their three-day accommodation fee!

 The waiter and the cleaning lady were both staring, completely forgetting what they were supposed to do, as they stood there dumbfounded.

 Gavyn paid no heed to the gasps and stares of the crowd, frowning as he walked straight to the front desk. His well-defined, large hand tapped on the counter.

 "Can you please check which room Laila is staying in at your hotel?"

 The young receptionist was only 22 years old. Suddenly, the handsome man's face came close to hers, carrying the scent of a luxurious and pleasant light perfume. She blushed nervously.

 It's no exaggeration to say that in her twenty-something years of life, he was the most handsome man she had ever seen, bar none!

 "Sir, Laila, right? Let me check for you!"

 The receptionist took a moment to regain her composure before stuttering as she searched on the computer, "Laila, right? The young lady is on the fourth floor, room 408. You can take the elevator over there to get there."

 The receptionist bit her lower lip and whispered, "Is she your girlfriend?"

 Gavyn's expression was cold and stern, not even sparing her a glance as he turned and walked towards the elevator.

 The young lady at the front desk felt like she had fallen in love for two seconds, and then experienced heartbreak.

 Room 408 is easy to find. Just take a left after exiting the elevator, and it's the first room on your left.

 The door wasn't locked; it was slightly ajar. Gavyn pushed it open with ease. The windows inside the room were left open as well, causing the curtains to billow up high as the wind blew through.

 Gavyn frowned deeply, "Laila!"

 Did they jump off the building?
