As soon as he finished speaking, Frederick started coughing violently. Yvonne quickly moved to help him catch his breath. "Honey, don't get so worked up. We still don't know all the details. Let's wait for the investigation."

Aveline just stared at Lucas lying on the hospital bed. However, bodyguards had already come in and dragged her out of the room. The door shut in front of her.

"Ave!"

Selena, having taken Aaron back, entered and immediately saw Aveline being forced out. She felt an overwhelming surge of pity.

Aveline said, "I'm fine."

Selena hugged her, distressed. "I'll stay here and wait with you."

Aveline shook her head. "No need, you should go back. Aaron is hard to deal with, and if you make him unhappy, you'll suffer."

Selena pursed her lips. "It's fine. He's not a child. He won't die without me."

Aveline gave a helpless smile. "Be good, alright?"

Selena's eyes reddened. "Ave, I want to stay with you."

Aveline said, "He hasn't woken up yet. There's nothing we can do now. I w

    Aveline's figure suddenly swayed."What nonsense are you talking about?"Selena hurried over. "They've been married for almost a year. Lucas knows what kind of person Aveline is. He must know she wouldn't poison him!""Really?" Aaron gave a meaningful smile before opening the hospital room door and walking in.Selena frowned. "Hey, what do you mean by that? Explain yourself before you go in!" She tried to follow, but the bodyguards stopped her.As Aveline's friend, she wasn't allowed inside either."How frustrating!" Selena's face scrunched up in anger. She turned to see Aveline staring blankly ahead, her face alarmingly pale."Ave, don't listen to his nonsense. He's just trying to scare you!" Selena said quickly.Aveline shook her head. "He's not lying. It's possible that Lucas could hate me."Selena was confused. "How could that be? Before he regained his memory, he loved you so much. Even now, with his memory back, those feelings haven't vanished. He should know your character."Ave

    Aveline pushed Sharon aside and rushed in."You can't go in!" Sharon tried to grab Aveline, but Selena intercepted her. "What are you doing? Do you want to bump into me? Believe me, I'll fall and sue you for everything."Sharon's eyes widened in disbelief. "You..."Wow! This woman was absolutely unreasonable!Selena lifted her chin, keeping a watchful eye on Sharon.Meanwhile, inside the hospital room, Frederick, Yvonne, and Aaron were all anxiously watching the man on the bed.Lucas slowly opened his eyes. His handsome, sharp face was pale, and he looked unwell."Lucas, you're finally awake! You scared me to death!" Frederick sighed in relief upon seeing Lucas awake.Aaron, standing nearby, asked, "How do you feel?"Lucas’ sharp eyebrows furrowed. He still had the oxygen mask on, and his voice was muffled. "I'm okay."Yvonne said, "Lucas, it's such a relief that you're alright. You don't know how worried your father was. Your wife, Aveline, stood outside the room all night. But how di

    "No need," Lucas said weakly with his eyes closed. "I don't want to see her, but she is still my wife. If she gets arrested, it will harm the Tudor family's reputation."Frederick snorted. "She almost killed you, and you're still thinking about her."Yvonne added, "Lucas, could there be some misunderstanding? I don't think Aveline is that kind of person."Lucas didn't say more, but his attitude was clear.Aveline clenched her fists, staring at Lucas's face. She took a deep breath and said, "I didn't poison you, Lucas. If you find out later that you misunderstood me, don't come looking for me. I won't forgive you."With that, she turned and walked out.Under the covers, Lucas' hand clenched into a fist.Just then, Sophia walked in, seeing Aveline's pale face as she left. She asked in confusion, "What happened?"Yvonne sighed. "Lucas says Aveline poisoned him."Sophia's eyes widened in disbelief. "How... how is that possible?"Frederick said, "Lucas, once you're recovered, divorce that w

    Tears streamed down Aveline's face, and only then did she seem to notice them. She wiped them away with her hand, then clenched her fist."What's there to cry about?" she muttered.But the more she tried to suppress them, the more the tears flowed.Selena quickly hugged her. "Ave, don't cry. It's not worth it for a man like him."Aveline suddenly grabbed Selena's arm, her fingers turning white from the grip. "He doesn't believe me... How could he not believe me? When I took him in, he wasn't like this."He wasn't like this at all.He had lost all his memories, like a blank slate, curious about her but also wary.But he had never looked at her with such cold, suspicious eyes.Never!The present Lucas was a stranger who terrified her.It was as if someone else had taken over Lu's body, causing her immense pain.Selena patted her back. "People change. Men with or without money are different, too. Ave, you decided to divorce, right? It's time to let go."Aveline cried, her voice hoarse, "B

    As soon as Selena thought of Aaron, she couldn't help but think of Lucas, that jerk. In her mind, anyone who could be friends with Lucas couldn't be much better in terms of character!Selena let out a cold laugh. "If you want to sue me, go ahead. I'm done with you!"With that, she hung up the phone and blocked Aaron's number.In the hospital, Aaron stared at his phone, baffled.Was he just a victim of misdirected anger?Lucas did it, not him. What did it have to do with him?Aaron sighed helplessly, then tried to send Selena a message, only to find out she had blocked him.Aaron fell silent.This woman was a bit too much!He let out a cold laugh and found another number, dialing it directly. "I need you to do something for me."...Afraid that something might happen to Aveline, Selena stayed with her at Maple Garden. However, in the afternoon, she received a call from her boss."Selena, I heard you hit Mr. Aaron?"Her boss' voice was trembling.Selena's face darkened. "How do you know

    Selena gave him a strange look. "Are you really that kind-hearted?"Aaron didn't respond, only looked at her with a half-smile.Selena thought for a while and finally calmed down. Clearing her friend's name was the most important thing now. If Aaron could really help, maybe there was hope."I'll help you," Selena said, noticing his disheveled belt. She moved closer and began to adjust it with her fingers.As she leaned in, a faint fragrance from her perfume wafted to Aaron's nose. He stared at her face and suddenly said, "Actually, you'd be a good fit for the entertainment industry. Have you ever considered it?"Selena finished adjusting the belt and stepped back. "I'm not interested in fame."When she moved away, the scent disappeared, leaving Aaron with a surprising sense of loss. His eyes flickered for a moment before he said, "My offer still stands. If you change your mind, let me know. I can make you a star within six months."Selena smiled. "Thanks."Aaron fell silent....Avelin

    Aveline paused, realizing she had almost forgotten about the house. She shook her head. "I'm not selling it for now."Russell nodded, his eyes fixed on her as if he had more to say.Aveline said, "I'll go now. Goodbye.""Alright," Russell replied, turning to walk back toward the group of men.Aveline exhaled a deep breath and headed in the opposite direction. Her only hope now was the test results. Until they came out, she couldn't clear her name. All she could do was wait.After walking for a few minutes, she heard the sound of a car engine behind her. Remembering what had happened earlier, she moved to the side to avoid any accidents."Beep!"The car slowed down next to her and honked. Aveline turned in surprise to see Russell's handsome, delicate face peering out from the car. He had one hand resting on the window, smiling slightly. "Get in. I'll give you a ride."Aveline was taken aback. She had thought he left, but it turned out he had gone to get his car."Mr. Skyler, that's real

    "Russ, why are you suddenly interested in the Tudor family's affairs?" the person on the other end of the line asked in surprise.Russell replied slowly, "The old man wants me to show some real results. I've decided to work on that."The other person was even more surprised. "Russ, you're actually considering going back to the Skyler family? I thought you weren't interested."Russell replied, "I'm interested now. Is that a problem?""No, no problem at all! Russ, just wait. I'll find out everything soon!"After hanging up the phone, a dark glint flashed in Russell's eyes. What exactly was going on?The image of Aveline's pale face flashed through his mind, and he tightened his grip on the steering wheel....Aveline had been waiting for two days, but the test results still hadn't come back. That morning, she went to work as usual, only to be surprised to find Desmond at her door.Aveline asked in confusion, "What's going on?"Desmond gave her a professional smile and handed her a docume

    It was Jolie’s first time visiting Cooper Enterprises, and she couldn’t help but feel a sense of curiosity about the place.No, to be precise, it was her first time stepping into any corporate office. The Quin family also had company, but she had never visited, nor had Daisy or Terence ever asked her to.The private elevator for the CEO was stunningly opulent, its polished surface gleaming like a mirror, perfectly reflecting their images. Jolie’s heart began to race with an inexplicable excitement.The assistant glanced at her and said with a warm smile, "Miss Quin, there’s no need to be nervous. Mr. Cooper will definitely be delighted to see you."Jolie nodded and replied, "I’m not nervous."The elevator moved swiftly, and as they neared the executive office, Jolie adjusted her cap and mask, pulling them snugly to hide her face as much as possible.Meanwhile, near the adjacent employee elevator, Rosalie was holding a stack of files, ready to head downstairs.She froze the moment she s

    "I’ll wait for you to come back," Jolie said softly before hanging up the call. The phone let out a soft beep, and the beautiful girl on the screen disappeared. Gavin frowned slightly, a hint of displeasure flickering across his face. She ended the call without letting him say anything. But as he replayed her soft words about waiting for him, the irritation quickly faded. When his assistant walked in, the first thing he noticed was Gavin staring at his phone, an unreadable smile tugging at the corner of his lips. The assistant froze, momentarily feeling as though he’d seen a ghost. Blinking hard, he looked again. Phew! It must have been his imagination. Gavin still wore his usual cold and impassive expression. "Mr. Cooper, these are the proposals submitted by the planning department," the assistant said as he placed the documents on Gavin’s desk. "Mm," Gavin acknowledged, immediately opening the files to review them. "Mr. Cooper, I’ve also finalized your schedule for

    It sounded so much like Jolie! The thought stunned Rosalie. Jolie had a boyfriend, and she got sent abroad because of him. How could she possibly be in contact with Gavin, let alone on a video call with him? Still, an uneasy suspicion gnawed at Rosalie. If she could just take one glance at the woman in Gavin’s video call, she could put her mind at ease. Gathering her courage, Rosalie lifted her head and looked in Gavin’s direction, her gaze fixed on his phone. The next second, a figure stepped in front of her—Gavin’s assistant. With a cold stare, he blocked her view. Startled, Rosalie’s face turned pale. By now, Gavin had already entered his office. The assistant looked at Rosalie, his voice icy. “What are you trying to do?” “I-I…” Rosalie hadn’t expected to be caught so quickly. Her heart leapt into her throat as she scrambled for an excuse. “I just wanted to check if Mr. Cooper needed anything.” “That’s not your job,” the assistant replied firmly. “You may be the

    Aveline held Joy in one arm and looked at Selena, asking, "What are you doing?" Selena replied, "Do you know what I just saw?" Aveline shook her head. "No idea." "Hickeys!" Selena pointed exaggeratedly to a spot on her neck, saying, "Right here. And I don’t think it’s just one spot. There’s probably a lot more below. Tsk tsk!" She clicked her tongue twice, shaking her head as she added, "Who would’ve thought Mr. Cooper could be so... ravenous." Aveline was amused and said, "Well, it makes sense. After all, he's already thirty, never had a girlfriend, and now that he finally does, of course, he’d go all out to spoil her." "Go all out to spoil her..." Selena drew out the words, mimicking her tone as she leaned in closer. "Ave, you’ve really been corrupted by Lucas, that scoundrel. You never used to talk like this." Aveline responded matter-of-factly, "I’m the mother of two now. What’s there to be embarrassed about?" "Tsk, tsk, tsk!" Selena made a playful, teasing expr

    The corners of Gavin’s lips curved into a faint smile.The subordinate giving the report froze, his eyes widening in shock.What on earth?!Did he just witness that?Their notoriously serious and unsmiling boss—especially during work—had just smiled. In the middle of a meeting at his phone.Several others in the room noticed it too. Their gazes darted between each other in silent but frantic communication.What’s going on?Did Mr. Cooper just smile? At his phone? During a meeting?“Is he… dating someone?” everyone thought.“Ahem!”Gavin’s assistant cleared his throat, immediately breaking the silent chaos. First, it was a warning to the staff to rein in their imaginations, and second, it was a subtle reminder to Gavin, who was typing a reply.Even the assistant couldn’t help the slight twitch at the corner of his mouth.Who would have thought?The president of Cooper Enterprises, a man known for his iron will and unshakable focus, was texting his girlfriend during a meeting… and smilin

    Rosalie said, “That must be tough for you. But why did Uncle and Aunt suddenly decide to send you abroad?” Jolie’s eyes flickered. So, her parents hadn’t told their relatives the real reason? How typical.Of course, they’d be too embarrassed to admit it. Shipping their daughter abroad just to force her to break up with her boyfriend? What a humiliating thing to confess. Jolie replied calmly, “I wanted to study abroad to gain some experience. It’s for my future photography exhibition. I still have a lot to learn.” “Oh, I see,” Rosalie responded, feigning understanding. Then she added, “Where are you staying? If I get the chance, I’ll come visit you.” “There’s no need, but thanks for thinking of me,” Jolie said lightly. “I’ll only be gone for a year. I’ll be back before you know it.” Rosalie smiled on the other end. “Alright then. If you need anything, just let me know.” “Sure.” After a few more polite exchanges, the call ended. Rosalie stared at her phone, gripping it

    "Beep! Unlocked!" The electronic voice of the fingerprint lock sounded unusually clear in the quiet night. As soon as Jolie stepped through the door, Gavin wrapped his arm around her waist, pulling her into a warm embrace. His hot breath cascaded down onto her ear and neck, making her breath hitch instantly. She didn’t even have time to take off her shoes before she was swept up into his arms. His kisses were relentless, stealing her breath and unraveling her control as her emotions rose and fell with his every move. Before she knew it, she was seated on the entryway cabinet. Her dress had been pushed up to her waist, and her legs were forced to cling to his lean waist. His fingers trailed over her skin, leaving traces of his presence wherever they went. “Mm…” A soft whimper escaped her lips as his kisses marked her skin. Each mark, blooming like crimson flowers against her fair skin, painted a vivid contrast on her porcelain complexion. The room remained pitch dark, but

    The lighting inside the cinema was dim, making it hard for Gavin to see Jolie’s face clearly. However, he could sense her stiffness. He glanced at her deeply before his gaze shifted back to the screen.The movie ended, and their hands remained intertwined the entire time. The warmth on Jolie’s cheeks had subsided as they stepped outside. Glancing at the tall, handsome man beside her, her heart skipped a beat uncontrollably.“Jolie?”At that moment, a voice called out from not far away. Jolie froze, not turning around. The voice carried a hint of uncertainty, and the person’s companion spoke in confusion, “Are you sure? Didn’t they send Jolie abroad?”The speaker was Jolie’s cousin, Rosalie Quin, from her uncle’s family.Frowning slightly, Rosalie replied, “But she really looks like her.”Her friend scoffed. “You must be seeing things. Wasn’t Jolie sent abroad? Didn’t you mention her family even cut off her cards? I still can’t believe she’d go to such lengths over a guy.”Rosalie lowe

    Jolie fiddled with her phone, trying to find the perfect angle for a good photo. Less than ten minutes later, there was a knock on the private dining room door. “Come in,” Gavin said calmly. A man in a tailored suit entered, holding a professional camera in his hand. Jolie looked at him in confusion. “Who’s this?” Gavin replied, “He’s an excellent photographer, a first-place winner in an international photography competition. Let him take your photos.” “What?” Jolie blinked in disbelief, glancing between the man and Gavin. So, because she complained about his lack of photography skills, he brought in someone with top-tier skills? And not just anyone—a world champion? Oh, dear! Jolie was suddenly at a loss for words. She opened her mouth but struggled to find the right thing to say. After a moment, she stammered, “Uh… actually, it’s not necessary.” “Not taking pictures anymore?” Gavin asked. Jolie shook her head. “No, I’m not. I’m hungry.” Having someone else tak
