Aveline looked at her. "I want you to take back what you said."Selena shook Aveline's arm, pleading, "Ave, please, come on, please..."Aveline couldn't resist Selena's pleading, and her heart softened. "Alright."Selena beamed with joy and turned to Russell. "When does it start?"Russell replied, "No rush, I'll come find you in a bit. You two enjoy yourselves for now."With that, he turned and left.Selena and Aveline sat in the best seats, and the waiter began bringing over drinks and fruit platters.Aveline held her glass, looking at the brightly colored drink inside. "I suddenly regret this."Wasn't this just asking for trouble?She already had enough problems, and if she got Russell involved, things could get even messier.Selena said, "Ave, you're overthinking it. It's just a dance. When was the last time you danced?"Aveline sighed. "I'm not up to it anymore, I'm too old for this."Selena laughed. "Just do it to make me happy."Aveline gave her a resigned look. "It's too late to

Aaron jumped back in surprise, quickly pulling his hand away. "Whoa, what's with that expression? Are you looking to sign with my company too?"Lucas glared at the two on stage for a long moment before shifting his gaze to the front-row seats. "Brian."Brian immediately stepped forward. "Yes, Mr. Tudor."Lucas said coldly, "Take Selena to the private room."With that, he turned and headed toward the staircase.Brian nodded and walked toward the front-row seats.Aaron was stunned. "Wait, what's going on? Who's Selena? Why are you grabbing her? Lucas, don't just walk away, answer me."...Selena was clapping enthusiastically, her voice hoarse from cheering, her face glowing with excitement. This was incredible! The chemistry between Russell and Aveline on the dance floor was electric. She was all in on this pairing!Just then, a young man with a serious expression approached her. "Miss Quin, Miss Young is waiting for you backstage."Selena blinked. "Why did she go backstage?"The young m

Russell said, "I'll go with you. He won't dare to bully you with me around."Aveline felt a warmth in her heart but smiled and refused, "No, it's fine. Since we're still married, it'll be easier for me to handle things."Russell's eyes flickered for a moment before he nodded. "Alright, but call me if you need anything.""Okay."Russell turned and left.Aveline made her way to the A12 private room. Standing at the door, she took two deep breaths to steady her emotions before pushing it open.The room was spacious, with a view of the scene below. The noise filtered up, though it was quieter than downstairs.Lucas sat on the sofa, holding a glass of wine in one hand and a cigarette in the other, exuding a cold and dignified presence.Opposite him, a handsome stranger was curiously observing her.Aveline didn't have time to pay attention to him. She searched for Selena and found her being held down in a chair by Brian. Seeing Aveline, Selena tried to get up, but Brian pushed her back down.

Aveline clenched her fists, her gaze sweeping over the assortment of drinks on the table. She walked over and stood opposite Lucas, taking a deep breath before saying, "Lucas, you're doing this to vent for Sophia, but Selena is here because of me. How about this: I'll drink all of these, and you leave Selena alone. Is that fair?"Lucas’ eyes stared at her coldly for a long moment without saying a word. Aveline smiled faintly, then grabbed a bottle, unscrewed the cap, and started drinking. The sharp taste burned her throat, making her cough violently, tears squeezing out of her eyes. She paused briefly, then continued drinking.Lucas didn't stop her; he just watched, his gaze dark and complicated."Ave!" Selena's eyes widened as she struggled to move closer but was held back by Brian. "Let go of me! Let me go!"Selena's voice was tinged with tears as she glared at Lucas, but she didn't dare insult him further. Aveline was doing this for her sake; if she antagonized Lucas now, all of Av

"Does it matter?" Lucas leaned back, his demeanor exuding a noble and aloof aura. His handsome and sharp features were masked by a calm and indifferent expression, making it impossible to discern his emotions.Selena gritted her teeth, but facing him like this, she couldn't utter a single curse.What a shameless person!Aveline held Selena's hand. "It's okay, it's okay..."It was as if she was comforting both Selena and herself.She looked at Lucas. "If you have a problem, come at me. Don't make things difficult for Selena."After saying that, she turned around and pulled Selena away.Lucas watched her back coldly, his eyes gradually filled with a complex and profound look.Even after they left, the room remained filled with an oppressive atmosphere.Aaron clicked his tongue twice. "I say, kid, aren't you being difficult?"Lucas looked at him. "You think you know everything."Aaron sneered. "Heh... Do you think I didn't notice? Since you walked in, your eyes haven't left her. All you

Aveline looked up at Russell, giving him a slight smile. "I found Selena. We were just about to head back."Russell replied, "Great, I'll give you a ride."Aveline shook her head. "No need, I've already called a car. Thanks anyway."Selena said, "We can cancel the ride. It's no trouble for Mr. Skyler to drop us off, so thank you, Mr. Skyler."Russell's handsome and mischievous face lit up with amusement. "With Selena saying that, are you still going to refuse me?"Aveline gave Selena a helpless look.Selena, however, winked at her, her expression inscrutable.They got into the car.Aveline leaned against the window, staring blankly at the night outside.Russell, driving, glanced at her through the rearview mirror and asked, "What happened? Maybe I can help."Selena looked at him, thought for a moment, and suddenly asked, "Do you know any reliable lawyers, especially those good at divorce cases?""Selena!"Aveline immediately grabbed her hand, "Don't say that. I'm not thinking about it

Aveline stepped out of the car, but having drunk so much, she felt unsteady. As soon as she lifted her head, a wave of dizziness hit her, causing her to stumble instinctively.Seeing this, Russell immediately reached out to steady her. "Are you okay?"Aveline regained her balance and realized how close she was to Russell. She quickly withdrew her hand and smiled. "I'm fine, just a bit dizzy."Russell frowned. "In your condition, how will you get home? Let me take you.""No need..." Aveline shook her head, about to say more when a familiar voice sounded from nearby."This isn't the best spot. Why don't you head upstairs?"Aveline and Russell turned to see Lucas sitting in a car not far away, the window rolled down, revealing his cold, grim face. His eyes were fixed on them with a dark, intense gaze.Aveline pursed her lips, looked away, and said to Russell, "I'll go now."Russell seemed worried. "Aveline, maybe I should...""No, it's fine." Aveline gave him a faint smile, then turned a

"What are you doing?"Aveline was startled and instinctively tried to avoid him. However, the bathtub was slippery, and after several attempts to struggle, she fell back into it.Lucas pressed one hand on her shoulder, leaning over her. His long, narrow eyes fixed on her, already tinged with a hint of crimson, as if suppressing some emotion."Aveline, do you like Russell?" His deep voice questioned her heavily.Aveline was stunned, feeling speechless!How could he ask such a question?Didn't he know whom she liked?However, without her consent, he entered her home, questioned her in that tone, and bullied her like this. There was no way she could say she liked him!"Who I like has nothing to do with you!"Aveline's clear eyes stared straight at him, not fearing his cold demeanor at all. "What? You can like Miss Winter, but I can't like other men?""No, you can't!" Lucas roared. His hand pressed on her shoulder while gripping her chin, and his fierce kiss followed.Aveline was shocked a

"Let… let me go!" Jolie struggled with all her might, but the drugs were quickly sapping her strength, leaving her powerless to break free.The man, too impatient to care, ignored her pleas and began dragging her toward the back exit."Hey! She told you to let her go. Are you deaf?" A sharp voice suddenly cut through the air.The man froze, startled, and looked up to see a girl standing not far away."Who the hell are you? This has nothing to do with you. Get lost!" He snapped, not recognizing Selena, his tone turning nasty.Selena’s expression grew colder as she took in Jolie’s disheveled state. Without hesitation, she stepped forward and slapped the man hard across the face, then yanked Jolie away from him."Letting yourself fall into the hands of this scum? Where’s your fight?" Selena said sharply.Jolie’s blurry consciousness flickered at the sound of her familiar voice. When she realized it was Selena, her tensed body finally relaxed, leaning heavily into her for support."Take me

Jolie watched Selena’s retreating figure and shook her head in frustration. What could she do? Selena’s emotional wounds ran deep, and no matter what Jolie tried, it seemed impossible to bridge the gap between them.Returning to the party, she glanced around at the crowd of men and women mingling with champagne flutes in hand, but her mind wasn’t on the event. She casually picked up a glass of champagne from a passing waiter and sipped it slowly.What she didn’t notice was a man standing across the room, watching her. As she drank, his eyes darkened, and he licked his lips suggestively.After finishing about half the glass, Jolie started feeling strange. Her body was growing weak, her skin hot and feverish, and a strange itchiness spread through her veins.Her brows furrowed in confusion. What was happening? She headed toward the restroom, but as she rounded a corner, her legs gave out, and she had to grab the wall for support to keep from collapsing."Did someone drug me?" she murmu

Maria looked at the two little ones, absolutely delighted, and then turned to Aveline. "I’ve got some happy news to share as well."Selena guessed, "You're pregnant?"Maria nodded. "That’s right."Selena gave her a thumbs-up. "Wow, that was fast! You said it and made it happen."Maria smiled. "I couldn’t fall too far behind. I need to make sure my kid has the best opportunities and chances, right?" With their babies close in age to Ethan and Emma, Maria thought it would be perfect for them to grow up together, maybe even become childhood sweethearts.She looked at Selena and asked, "Weren’t you eager at first too? Why haven’t you made any moves yet?"Selena sighed. "I’m not sure. Honestly, I’m a little scared."Maria reassured her, "Take your time, no rush."Selena got up and left the room, heading outside for some fresh air. Seeing Aveline go through the struggles of pregnancy and the dangers of childbirth genuinely frightened her. On top of that, she worried she wouldn’t be a good m

At first, the twin really did look quite wrinkly and not very cute, but as time passed, they started to fill out and became more and more beautiful. The baby boy had a calm demeanor, rarely crying or fussing. He spent most of his time either eating or sleeping, with large, dark eyes like black grapes, a high nose, a tiny mouth, and chubby, round cheeks full of baby fat.The baby girl, on the other hand, was much more lively and prone to fussing, expressing her displeasure whenever things didn’t go her way. She cried the most between the two.The baby boy was born first, and the girl was the younger sister. Every time, the sister seemed determined to make her brother cry, but she never succeeded. Once fed, she would calm down.“Have you thought of any names for them yet?” Selena asked, looking at Aveline, who was slowly recovering, while playfully toying with the little ones in the stroller.Aveline replied, "We’ve chosen some temporary nicknames, but we haven’t settled on their full n

Aveline said, "Braden is probably not interested."“Huh? Why?” Selena asked, confusion spreading across her face.Aveline explained, “Baron, Braden, and Maria all have a special bond with Lucas. No matter what, they wouldn’t betray him.”She paused for a moment, her thoughts drifting to Brian, the man who had always seen it as his duty to protect Lucas. She wondered how he was faring now.Selena shrugged. “Alright, I suppose. He’s helped me a lot recently, and if it weren’t for him, I wouldn’t have handled everything so smoothly.”Aveline replied, “It’s all over now. Taking him with you wouldn’t really serve any purpose.”“True,” Selena agreed, nodding as she let go of the subject.She ended up staying in Larbor City for a month. One night, Aveline suddenly went into labor. The family rushed to action—though there was some initial chaos, they quickly regained control. Drivers got the car ready, calls to the hospital were made, and everything unfolded smoothly.At the hospital, Lucas h

To mitigate the impact of the incident, the Fletcher family arranged a marriage with the Skyler family, setting the wedding date for just one month later, a rather hasty decision. Aaron officially became the head of the Fletcher family, and despite any grievances Nathalie might have had, she didn’t dare voice them, keeping her frustration to herself.Selena, on the other hand, finally had some leisure time. With Aaron busier than ever, she felt bored and decided to visit Aveline in Larbor City.Aveline’s belly had grown quite large, and with just a month left until her due date, her feet had started swelling, looking puffy and rounded like little pillows. Seeing her condition, Selena couldn't help but remark, "Pregnancy looks so tough. I'm starting to get a little scared."Aveline glanced at her. "Are you planning to get pregnant?"As far as she remembered, Selena had never mentioned such plans.Selena nodded, then shared the idea she had previously about arranging a marriage between

Aaron held her hand and led her directly out of the room upstairs.Meanwhile, inside the room, Nathalie had someone forcibly separate the two entangled people. Ernest looked utterly disheveled, still trying to grab onto Lila and continue.Lila, now slightly regaining her senses, realized the situation. She let out a piercing scream, wrapped herself in the blanket, and cried out in distress."How could this happen? Why did it turn out like this? Why am I here? Mom, wasn't that bitch Selena supposed to be in this room? Why is it me? Why me!"The sensation in her body was undeniable, and seeing Ernest in his dazed state, she could already imagine how wild things had been between them. Worse yet, many people had witnessed it!This scene was supposed to fall on Selena!What went wrong?Nathalie hugged her, trying to calm her down, "Don’t get worked up, Lila. You can’t afford to get upset right now. It’s okay, mom’s here with you. I’ll take care of this."But Lila was inconsolable, sobbing u

The servant stood frozen in shock, unable to comprehend what had just unfolded. How... how could this have happened? How did Lila end up in the room instead of Selena?She distinctly remembered helping Selena into that very room and watching as the family doctor applied the patch to her ankle. The patch, once applied for more than a minute, should have released the drug into Selena's system, gradually taking effect. But now everything had gone terribly wrong.Pale and trembling, the servant knew that her role in this failed scheme had been exposed. There would be no good outcome for her. She began to retreat, hoping to slip away unnoticed."Leaving so soon?"A lazy, magnetic voice suddenly spoke from behind her.Startled, she spun around to see Aaron standing in the doorway. His tall, imposing figure blocked the exit, preventing anyone from leaving easily."I... I..." The servant stammered, unable to form a coherent sentence, trapped in her fear.Aaron’s expression remained neutral, b

"Such a big issue has to be cleared up, don’t you think, Aaron? What if someone is deliberately trying to smear your wife’s name?" "Exactly! We’ve all met your wife—she’s beautiful and sharp. There’s no way she’d do anything to betray you.""We need to open the door and clear up any misunderstandings before things get out of hand."The crowd voiced their concerns, their words filled with feigned sympathy, but their eyes gleamed with anticipation.Kendrick arrived just behind Aaron, and upon hearing the whispers, his expression darkened."Who said this?" The servant timidly raised her hand. "I... I did."His voice hardened. "Are you sure of what you saw?"Though visibly frightened, the servant nodded firmly. "I’m sure.""I don’t think she’s lying.”"Maybe it’s true. If it is, then she really couldn’t keep herself in check, especially at Lila’s birthday party. How shameless.""Unbelievable! With a husband like Aaron, she’s still not satisfied? I can’t understand women like that."A few
