Sophia's pale face showed a faint smile. "I'm fine, I was just too tired and fell asleep."Sharon retorted, "Nonsense, who falls asleep on the floor? The gas was on in the house, Sophia. Don't do anything stupid, okay?"Sophia replied, "Alright, I understand."At that moment, Lucas walked in, his eyes fixed on Sophia's pale face, his expression tense."Lucas, I'm sorry I scared you. I'm really fine. If you have something to do, you should go ahead," Sophia said, her face showing a gentle understanding.Sharon interjected, "What could he possibly be busy with? He was probably thinking about that other woman. Sophia, you shouldn't have saved him back then. You lost a leg for him, and now you almost died!""Sharon, stop talking," Sophia interrupted, then began coughing violently.Lucas stepped forward and handed her a glass of water.Sophia struggled to sit up but accidentally slipped. Lucas frowned as he saw her struggle.Sharon snapped, "What are you waiting for? Help Sophia!""I can ma

After leaving the hospital, Lucas called Aveline, but she quickly hung up on him.His brows furrowed.Their relationship had just begun to reach a delicate balance, but Sophia's sudden crisis had shattered it.Lucas had never felt so agitated before. He tugged at his tie, trying to release the frustration tightening his chest.But it was all in vain.Sitting in his car, he lit a cigarette. The smoke swirled in front of him as he half-closed his eyes, staring ahead.Just then, his phone rang. He quickly grabbed it, expecting it to be Aveline, but it was a message from Maria instead.“I've found Darren's location.”Lucas replied, “Send it over.”Maria texted, “No.”Lucas replied, “What?”Maria teased, “Haha, I'm just rebellious like that.”Lucas texted back, “Then you can spend the rest of your life being rebellious in the Southeast region. Don't come back.”Maria immediately apologized, “Boss, I'm sorry. I'll send it to you right away.”Soon, Lucas received Darren's current location.It

Aaron stopped him. "I know you're eager to drink, but you shouldn't rush it. You need a reason to get drunk. What's going on?"Lucas' eyes were cold as he looked at him. "Are you sick?"Aaron replied, "Lucas, what's your problem? I'm concerned about you, and you insult me? Don't you know this kind of behavior can hurt a friend's feelings? If you keep this up, you won't have anyone to drink with."Lucas just stared at him coolly.They were silent for a moment before Aaron raised his hand. "Fine, I give up. Drink all you want. Just don't end up crying on my leg."Lucas said, "I'll dig out your brain and cry into that."Aaron was speechless. "You're ruthless!"Lucas drank, the burning sensation spreading through his mouth. He frowned, leaned back, and covered his eyes with his hand.His voice was low and raspy, "Aaron, how did I survive until today?"Aaron replied, "Because you're lucky."Lucas fell silent.The conversation died immediately.There was a moment of silence in the room.Aaro

Aveline looked at Aaron with a faint smile. "Would you dare to say that to him when he's sober?"Aaron was speechless for a moment.He looked at Aveline for a while, then suddenly turned to the semi-conscious Lucas and said, "Buddy, you're going to have a tough time in the future."Aveline still showed no intention of letting them in. "You should go back to wherever you came from. You're not welcome here."With that, she lowered the baseball bat and slammed the door shut.Aaron stood there, taking a deep breath before turning around and supporting Lucas as they left." Ave..." Lucas mumbled drunkenly.Aaron sneered. "Your Ave doesn't want you anymore. Go ahead and keep acting out."Back in her bedroom, Aveline lay down and closed her eyes but couldn't fall asleep.She opened her eyes, staring at the ceiling, her thoughts a mess.Why did he go drinking again?Wasn't he supposed to see Sophia?Did he feel so heartbroken about her depression that he drank to drown his sorrows?Wow, how se

Aaron lay on the hospital bed, his head wrapped in bandages, his handsome face looking somewhat weak. However, the look he gave Selena was one of fury.Selena instinctively hid behind Aveline.Inside the room, it wasn’t just Aaron. Lucas was sitting in a chair nearby, exuding a powerful and cold presence. As soon as she entered, his gaze fell on her.Aveline ignored Lucas and addressed Aaron. "Mr. Fletcher, my friend didn't mean to hurt you. She will cover all your hospital expenses and compensate you for any losses. What do you think?"Aaron sneered. "I think I'd like to hit her on the head with a fire extinguisher."Aveline frowned. "Violence is not the answer."Aaron's mouth twitched, glaring at Selena hiding behind Aveline, and then glanced at Lucas before saying, "As for compensation, I don't need money, but I do need a nurse."Selena offered, "I will hire the best nurse to take care of you."Aaron replied, "I don't want that."Selena asked, "Then what do you want?"Aaron stated,

Aaron's eyes widened in shock. He quickly tried to explain, "No, wait, this isn’t... I didn’t mean..."The more he tried to clarify, the less sense he made. He had just said it was all because of Lucas, but now Aveline was calling him a good person. What did that make Lucas?Aaron felt a chill run down his spine and looked at Lucas in a panic. "Lucas, she’s just talking nonsense..."Lucas simply looked at him coolly.Aveline said, "Mr. Fletcher, please rest well. We won’t disturb you any further."With that, she pulled Selena out of the room."Hey, don’t go!" Aaron was so anxious he almost jumped out of bed.What on earth was going on?He looked at Lucas. "Lucas, I was trying to help you, I really was."Lucas said, "You truly are a good person."Aaron was speechless. He felt like dying.Outside the room, Selena couldn't stop laughing. "Ave, you’re brilliant! Did you see Lucas' face? It looked so upset. How satisfying!"Aveline remained calm. "I can see through their intentions. There's

Aveline trembled, instinctively trying to push him away. But Lucas grabbed her wrist, pulled her hand down, and kissed her on the lips."Mmm!" Aveline struggled.Lucas' kiss was intense and passionate, only stopping when her lips turned a bright red. Finally satisfied, he pulled away."Now that's better."Aveline shoved him hard. "Lucas, don't you find this awkward?"Lucas looked at her furious expression, his eyes dark and deep. "Why are you in such a hurry? Has this month ended?”Aveline was momentarily stunned, staring at him. "Does that mean you'll divorce me next month?"Lucas raised an eyebrow, said nothing, and walked away."Jerk!" Aveline cursed under her breath as she watched him leave.She knew he was toying with her again! Why was it so difficult to get a divorce?At that moment, Selena came out and noticed her upset expression. "What happened?"Aveline replied, "Did you settle everything?"Selena nodded. "Yes, he agreed, but he didn't seem happy about it."Aveline smirked.

Aveline coldly turned away and walked off. Selena quickly caught up to her, giving her a thumbs up. "My dear Ave, you finally stood up for yourself."Aveline replied, "I don't start trouble unless someone provokes me first."People like Sharon, who came looking for a confrontation, would naturally get what they deserved.Selena clicked her tongue in approval. "I just can't understand that jerk. If he loves Miss Winter so much, why doesn't he divorce you? Now Miss Winter has depression, and you're also suffering. What's his endgame?"Aveline sighed. "I wish I knew what he wanted."If she knew, she wouldn't feel so tormented."What’s the point of this endless entanglement?" Aveline continued.Selena linked arms with her and smiled. "Ave, stay over at my place tonight. After tomorrow, I won't have this kind of freedom anymore."Aveline nodded and agreed.Selena was thrilled. They went to her small apartment, a cozy place with one bedroom and a living room, just right for one person. She b

"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
