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

Two people were commuting to work by subway. Selena couldn't help but laugh out loud. "Did you see his sour face? It cracked me up, haha."Aveline's expression remained calm. "If he still doesn’t want to divorce me, this will be his life from now on."Selena sighed. "It's all about mutual torment, testing to see who will break first."Aveline didn't respond and just looked at her phone.When they arrived at the company, Desmond called Aveline to the CEO's office.She didn't want to go, but at the company, he was her superior, and she had to listen to him.Aveline tried to calm down before getting up and heading to the office.She knocked on the door, and upon hearing a voice inside, she pushed the door open and walked in.The office was dimly lit, with a screen in the center projecting the faces of several foreigners.Lucas was in a meeting.Aveline paused and was about to leave when Lucas beckoned her over.Aveline resisted, pressing her lips together.Lucas pressed a button on the re

Aveline looked at him in surprise. She had thought he would make some excessive demand.Lucas said, "Why that look? Too easy for you? Then I'll change it to...""Okay," Aveline interrupted, fearing he might make a more unreasonable request.Lucas waved his hand. "Alright, you can go now."Aveline turned and left. Sitting at her workstation, she still felt a bit dazed.Just a meal?That was simple enough.Making him a bowl of cereal could be considered a meal too.Aveline chuckled, feeling more relaxed than she had in a long time.Soon, it was time to leave work.Aveline packed her things and headed out. When she reached the company entrance, she saw that familiar luxury car.She had seen this car in the morning at Selena’s apartment complex, obnoxiously honking its horn.Aveline fell silent.She was annoyed by it in the morning, but now she had to get in it at night.Sigh...Aveline glanced around and noticed many colleagues were still around. She took out her phone and muttered, "Wow,

“Got something on your mind, Dad?” Gavin asked, noticing Wilfried’s serious expression as he entered the room. His own demeanor softened a bit.Wilfried didn’t waste time, sitting down heavily on the sofa with a stern look. "What are you planning to do about what happened today?"Gavin froze for a moment, realizing that the whole situation had become an open secret within the family. His response was calm, though. "I don’t have any specific plans."At this, Wilfried’s expression darkened even further. "That won’t do. You’ve taken advantage of someone, so you need to take responsibility. I’ll have someone look into that girl’s background tomorrow, prepare the bride price, and we’ll go make the proposal immediately."Gavin blinked, his typically composed expression faltering slightly. After a brief silence, he replied, "Dad, I’m willing to take responsibility, but what if she doesn’t want to marry me?"Wilfried paused, momentarily caught off guard by this possibility. His gaze swept over

“Hmm, you’re right. I’ll talk to your brother and see what he thinks,” Wilfried said thoughtfully.Aveline nodded and went on her way....In the study, Gernard sat on the sofa, a mischievous grin plastered on his face. “Brother, why didn’t you let me finish? I was about to spill the best part.”Gavin ignored him and pulled out a document, handing it over. “Take a look at this. If everything’s in order, you’ll be leaving the day after tomorrow.”“What’s this?” Gernard blinked, taking the file and flipping it open. His eyes widened as he scanned the pages.He shot up from his seat, staring at Gavin in disbelief. “Wait, you’re serious? You’re actually sending me to South Africa? Do people live there? When did we even expand into that region?”Gavin, seated in his leather chair, remained cold and composed. “Recently.”Gernard’s face twisted in disbelief. After a long pause, he finally blurted out, “No way. I’m not going.”Gavin’s gaze flickered over to him, calm but stern. “You don’t hav

“What gossip?” Aveline's interest was instantly piqued, her eyes sparkling as she looked at Gernard.Gernard leaned in conspiratorially, about to spill the juicy details. “It’s about Brother. You won’t believe what happened today…”“Ahem!”Before he could finish, Gavin appeared, clearing his throat just loud enough to interrupt. He grabbed Gernard’s arm, pulling him away. “Let’s talk about the company,” he said, his tone leaving no room for argument.Gernard protested, “Brother, wait, I wasn’t finished!”Aveline, her curiosity fully ignited, took a couple of steps forward. “Hey bros, don’t leave me hanging! Finish the story first!”Without slowing down, Gavin replied, “He’s headed to South Africa soon. Work comes first.”“South Africa?” Gernard’s jaw dropped. “Wait, since when am I going to South Africa? I didn’t hear about this! What’s going on?”Aveline stopped in her tracks, equally puzzled. “South Africa? Does the Cooper family even have projects there?”Just then, Wilfried walked

"Got too much free time on your hands?" Gavin’s cold gaze fixed on Gernard.Unbothered, Gernard strolled over and patted his brother's shoulder, grinning. "So, what’s your plan now? I got a little bored and did some digging on the Quin family. Guess what? Turns out they’re Selena’s birth family. She left them ages ago to make it on her own, but the girl you were with? That’s Jolie Quin, the pampered princess of the family."With a knowing smirk, Gernard added, "Brother, I couldn’t help but notice—Jolie and Selena do look a bit alike. Could that be why you…?""Get lost," Gavin cut him off, not in the mood for Gernard’s teasing. He brushed past him, heading downstairs.Of course, that only fueled Gernard’s enthusiasm. "Hey, don’t walk away! I haven’t finished my gossip yet!" he called after him, but the conversation came to an abrupt end as they reached the main floor, where the guests were still gathered for the celebration....Aveline noticed Selena seemed a bit distracted and asked,

One of Jolie’s long, slender legs was exposed to the cool air, and Gavin’s fingers instinctively tightened, as if they could still feel the smoothness of her thigh under his grip. His gaze darkened, though his expression only grew colder. His sharp, chiseled features gave him a distant, unapproachable aura—a man who seldom smiled and whose demeanor warned others to stay away.He was cold, almost like an ice block."Debt’s owed," he said flatly, tossing out the two words before sitting on the sofa and picking up the phone to make a call.Jolie blinked in surprise, processing what he said. Debt owed?Was that something you could even keep on hold?But thinking about it, he probably didn’t need anything right now. So, if he wanted to leave the debt hanging, so be it.Stretching lazily, Jolie sat up and said, "Have someone bring me a change of clothes."With that, she pulled the blanket aside, slowly rising from the bed despite the discomfort between her legs and headed toward the bathro

As the effects of the drug finally began to fade, Jolie lay exhausted on the bed, her body drenched in sweat. Her skin, especially across her delicate shoulder blades, bore faint marks from their encounter and her breath ragged as it brushed against her own back. Her vision was hazy, and she barely had the strength to speak."I... I’m fine now... you can stop," she murmured, her voice weak and broken from the strain of what had just happened.The madness of moments before still pulsed through her, the aftershocks of it lingering in her body. She never expected that grabbing a random man for help would lead to this, nor did she expect him to have such relentless stamina.Yet, the man behind her didn’t stop. He didn’t respond either. His large hands remained firmly gripped around her slender waist as if he were trying to squeeze the very breath from her."Stop... I told you to stop, didn’t you hear me?" Jolie’s anxiety spiked as he continued. What was wrong with him? They’d agreed he was
After the CEO Divorced Me, He Wants Me Back Chapter 1039
Gavin said nothing and simply hung up the phone, his expression darkening by the second.Behind him, Jolie’s soft, pained whimpers filled the air. She was writhing on the bed, her delicate skin flushed a faint pink.Gavin clenched his jaw, tugging at his tie. It had already loosened from when she’d pulled on it earlier, and with a rough yank, it came completely undone. Frustration simmered beneath his calm exterior.Where was Selena? She was supposed to be finding help, but she still hadn’t returned.His frown deepened as he reached for the door, ready to leave."Please… help me…"Her desperate voice, laced with a hint of a sob, echoed from behind him. The softness of it hit him like a lit match to his chest, sparking a heat he wasn’t used to feeling. "Please… I’ll pay you… I won’t take it for free…" Jolie’s voice broke as tears streamed down her face. She was sobbing now, her words dripping with helplessness and shame, as if offering him money would somehow make her request more bear

"Stop moving," Gavin growled in a low voice.But Jolie, completely under the control of the drugs, was acting purely on instinct, seeking out what her body craved most. She didn’t register his words at all. Instead of stopping, she slipped her hand inside his shirt, feeling the hard muscles of his chest."Mm..." Jolie let out a soft sound, whether from the satisfying feel of his muscles or because the touch of his skin intensified the drug’s effects, it wasn’t clear.Gavin's breathing became heavier. He couldn’t stay here any longer—this drugged and irrational woman could do anything at this point, and there was no telling what she’d attempt next.Quickly surveying his surroundings, Gavin spotted a quieter route. Without hesitation, he carried Jolie out through the back door, re-entering the villa through another entrance. He headed upstairs and slipped into the nearest empty room, laying her down on the bed.Just as he moved to leave, Jolie, still hazy and half-conscious, sensed his d

"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
