Chapter 296 Self Strategising
“I haven’t found out what happened yet. I need to know the truth.”
Aylin tried to break free of his hand, but she stood up too quickly, and her head spun. She lost her
footing and fell into Gavyn’s arms.
A warm, generous, and safe embrace.
Aylin was flustered and just wanted to escape.
But how could she, a patient, defeat Gavyn? The man pressed her back to bed with a sullen face.
“You’re still trying to act tough at this time!” Gavyn lowered his eyebrows and said in a rare stern tone, “I’ve settled it for you. Can’t you ask me first?”
He wanted to make it up to Aylin, and he couldn’t bear to see her not taking her health seriously.
Aylin didn’t expect to hear this answer, so she froze and blinked blankly.
“All seven of them went to the police station, and only one ran away. That won’t be a threat.” As he was about to speak of the mastermind, Gavyn looked solemn. “As for the car that hit you, the surveillance camera shows that the license plate number is ax6880.”
He paused and narrowed his eyes cautiously. “But the lead had gone cold when we wanted to
continue the investigation.”
Aylin listened quietly and had a plan in mind.
The license plate was precisely the same as what she had memorized before she lost
consciousness, and the situation was just as she had imagined. Someone instructed the gangster to
do so. They could run away now, but they wouldn’t be able to hide for long.
That car is the key!
The plate ax6880 is neither a New York nor a Buffalo number plate.
Something is not right!
After scanning through the clues in her mind, Aylin looked at Gavyn again. “Thank you for your hard work. You must have put in a lot of effort.”
Aylin’s lips moved. His originally pink and petal-like lips were pale and bloodless at the moment.
Her long hair was loose, and her body was bruised and swollen. She was so weak that she looked like a fragile lily in the wind.
Instantly, the anger in Gavyn’s heart disappeared for no reason, and an indescribable feeling of
distress rose instead.
“This isn’t a straightforward matter. Who are your enemies?”
The thought that the mastermind behind the scenes hadn’t shown up yet and might hurt Aylin at
any time made him angry.
His gentle eyes suddenly turned cold, like the sparse stars in the freezing night. “I already know that the cruise ship explosion when you returned home three years ago had something to do with your uncle, Timothy. And your cousin, Sariah, has always been jealous of you.”
He looked at Aylin and said in a deep voice, “Actually, you don’t have to fight all this alone. You can
tell me, and I’ll help you.”
Aylin was stunned when she heard that.
Gavyn actually knows so much about my past. Did he investigate me?
She felt that this was too against his style. As a business tycoon, Gavyn would not waste his energy
on useless things at all.
Once, she tried hard to find topics to talk to him about and show him her hobbies and specialties, only to be responded coldly by saying, “Don’t disturb me at work.”
Since then, she didn’t dare to say anything more.
The change was so drastic that Aylin couldn’t understand it..
He didn’t like me, so why is he so nice to me suddenly?
“T That’s all right. I’ve already troubled you a lot.”
Her politeness and alienation annoyed Gavyn. “We’re not enemies. Why are you always so distant and unwilling to accept my help? Do you not trust me?”
Aylin chuckled and asked, “Mr. Delacruz, we’re neither friends nor relatives, which makes us strangers. What is the reason for you helping me?”
Her words rendered Gavyn speechless. Content rights belong to NôvelDrama.Org.
Yes, we’re divorced. We didn’t have a good relationship when we were married, unlike other people
who can still be friends after a divorce.
I’m not sure why either.
But I just want to do it!
Aylin’s words made him speechless and very unhappy.
After a moment of stalemate, Gavyn said coldly, “At least we’re still business partners. I’m
concerned about my business partner. What’s the problem?”
Aylin didn’t know how to respond.
Seeing that Aylin didn’t answer, Gavyn was furious.
He was decisive and resolute in the business world. People would cry and beg for his help when they
heard of the Delacruz Group.
However, he volunteered before Aylin, but she was unwilling to accept it.
He wanted to tell his grandfather that it was not that he was unwilling to make it up for Aylin, but no
one had taught him what to do if his good intention was not accepted.
“Anyway, this happened before my eyes, and I can’t leave it alone!”
Aylin smiled slightly.
She wanted to ask, “Gavyn, are you sure you didn’t hurt your brain?”
But aside from this doubt, it was time to sort out and analyze the current information.
She had sent someone to keep an eye on Hanson, and she didn’t hear any news for the time being. At present, the person most likely to harm her was Ruben, who had been beaten up by her yesterday.
But he was a drunkard and a gambler and didn’t have much brains.
The question left unanswered would be who was helping him behind the scenes.
Too many things had happened recently, one unfortunate event after the other. Since the Delacruz family was powerful, her burden would be greatly relieved if Gavyn could help.
After figuring this out, Aylin stopped refusing and looked at Gavyn. “Thank you for your kindness, Mr. Delacruz, but can you investigate in the direction I suggest?”
“Go ahead.”
“I suspect that among these people today, Abby’s father, Ruben, might have something to do with it. You can investigate his movements.”
Aylin closed her lips. Although her body was weak, she could still think clearly and logically in her head. “And Ruben’s wife, Aunt Serena, as well. She is currently overseas. Please help me to keep an eye on her movements. I have a bad feeling about her.”
With her eyes slightly downcast, Aylin recalled the car crash scene and still had lingering fears.
“Something was off with the car that came at me. Those thugs were also caught off guard as well. It seemed that they did not arrange the car.”
Gavyn’s mood brightened as he listened to her analysis.
He was glad to think that Aylin still relied on him deep down!

No matter what, they had been married for three years, and their relationship was different from others. Habits were hard to change.
However, before the corners of Gavyn’s lips curled up, Aylin suddenly said, “I know it will be a lot of trouble and energy to investigate these things. Don’t worry, Mr. Delacruz. I will pay you accordingly!”
Gavyn’s face darkened. “What do you mean?”
“I meant what I said literally.”
Aylin didn’t know why he was suddenly unhappy, and she said earnestly, “I know your subordinates are all first-class elites, and it must be expensive to ask you for help. Don’t worry, I will pay according to the market price, and I won’t let you help for nothing!”
The anger that had just been extinguished was immediately rekindled. Gavyn only felt a wave of devilish energy arousing in his chest, suffocating him.
He stared at Aylin and said word by word, “Do you really not want to owe me anything?”
What she was showing was a business-like attitude and transacted by exchanging money!
He thought he was entrusted, but who would have expected that she had felt differently?
Aylin was confused and laughed. “What else can I do? I’ve never heard that Mr. Delacruz has a hobby of doing charity work for free. Are you happy if I take advantage of you?”
“It’s not about the money!”
