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
