Lucas's breathing deepened, his eyes fixed on her with unreadable emotions.Aveline turned away, holding her shoes, and walked forward step by step."Get in the car," he called out again from behind.A flicker of bitterness crossed Aveline's eyes. "You can't possibly be thinking of not getting a divorce, right?"If he were, he would be letting down Sophia, who had saved him and had a prosthetic leg because of it."This is Tudor territory. If someone sees you limping out of here, it won't be good for the Tudor family's reputation," Lucas said coldly.Aveline's long eyelashes trembled, she found it somewhat laughable that she had thought he might change his mind about the divorce."Aveline, you asked me if I hated you before. I don’t," he answered her earlier question.Aveline's fingers tightened, then she turned and got into the car.Seeing her return brought an inexplicable sense of relief to Lucas.Composing himself, he got into the driver's seat.Through the rearview mirror, he saw h

The next day.At ten in the morning, Aveline's phone rang. She glanced at it and ignored the call.Jack Potter, the foreman at the construction site, was updating her on the current situation, and she took notes diligently.By noon, she finally had a moment to sit down and rest. She took a sip of water and then checked her phone.Eighteen missed calls.All from Lucas.Ha!She let out a soft laugh and was about to call him back when the nineteenth call came through."Hello?""Aveline, are you messing with me?" His voice came through, cold and filled with suppressed anger. She could hear his heavy breathing.If he were in front of her right now, he might just tear her apart.Aveline's tone was cheerful. "Lucas, how does it feel to be toyed with?"He had regained his memory and could speak, yet he kept it from her, pretending to be the same as before. How long would he have continued the charade if she hadn't found out? Was he silently mocking her as he watched her use sign language with

Strange, why was there nobody around during the midday break? Aveline panicked, her face tensing up."Stop!" "I saw her company ID. She must be from DK Group!""Get her! We must demand justice!"The people behind her caught up in a rush. Aveline became even more anxious and ran in one direction, but the next moment, she stumbled and fell forward, barely managing to steady herself. It was impossible to run anymore.A dozen or so people confronted Aveline with aggressive momentum."Who are you?"Aveline steadied her emotions and looked at them with her beautiful eyes.Paul Thial, the man with a full beard, said, "My brother, Peter Thial, was working here and got his leg broken. I see you're from DK Group. You must give us an explanation!"Aveline frowned. "I understand your concern about your brother's accident, but someone else should handle this matter."Paul waved his hand. "Handle what? Those from DK Group didn’t care about my brother’s condition at all! They just compensated a few

Lucas stared at her for a long moment before he sat back down. "I was thinking about it, but seeing you like this, bullying an injured person isn't my style."Aveline tugged at the corners of her lips. "Thank you for your generosity, Mr. Tudor."A fake gratitude. A fake conversation.It felt like a transparent wall had sprung up between them. They could see and touch each other, but the connection they once had was gone.It had all changed since he had initiated the divorce.Lucas felt inexplicably irritable. He reached up and loosened his collar. "Take a few days to rest. Let someone else handle the project for now."Aveline asked, "Does this count as a workplace injury?"Lucas looked at her but said nothing.Aveline continued, "Workplace injuries require compensation, right? I don't mind getting a few tens of thousands. You know my account number, just transfer it directly."Lucas didn’t reply to her remarks.Had this woman become money-obsessed since she asked for a divorce?First,

Aveline closed her eyes, her head pounding with pain. The sky outside had already turned dark, and she turned to look out the window, her gaze gradually becoming hollow.It was all pretty meaningless, really.Just then, her phone rang. When she saw the caller ID, her eyes lit up."Selena!""Hey, my dear, guess where I am?" Selena Quin’s cheerful voice came through the phone.Aveline guessed, "Cloudflare City?""Correct! I'm right downstairs at your place. Aren't you going to come down and welcome me?" Selena laughed.Aveline replied, "Oh, my princess, I'm afraid I can't. I got injured at work and am in the hospital."Selena’s tone immediately turned serious. "Send me the address, right now!"Hearing her sudden seriousness, Aveline couldn't help but smile. "Alright."She sent the address, and less than half an hour later, the door to her hospital room was pushed open. A beautiful woman with bold, alluring features rushed in."Ave, what happened? How did you get hurt at work? Why are yo

Aveline's lips tightened as she dialed Selena's number, but it kept going unanswered.They had just parted ways not long ago, so why would she go to Moonlight Tower?Recalling what she had said earlier, Aveline's breathing grew heavy. Confronting Lucas was definitely something she would do.Not daring to overthink, she hurried out and hailed a taxi to Moonlight Tower.Entering quickly, she found the lobby in disarray, shattered glass everywhere, as if there had just been a robbery."Where's Selena?" Aveline grabbed a waiter, asking urgently.The waiter pointed to a private room down the corridor. "In there."Aveline hurried over and pushed open the door, finding Selena being held by two bodyguards, her face flushed with anger."Let go of me!" She was still struggling incessantly.On the sofa, Lucas's expression was grim, his white shirt stained with blood, and his dark eyes staring lifelessly at Selena.His right sleeve was rolled up to his elbow, revealing a wound on his arm, while

"Selena is impulsive. If she did something to hurt you, I hope you won't hold it against her. I promise she won't do it again."Selena's eyes turned red instantly. "Ave, why are you apologizing? This has nothing to do with you!"Aveline ignored her and looked at Lucas. "Is this enough now?"Her face was slightly pale, and there was a shattered light in her eyes.Wasn't it just forcing her to comply?Why wasn't he satisfied when she had already complied with his wishes?She was truly blind.Why didn't she listen to Selena?The taste of reaping what one sows was truly unpleasant.Lucas looked deeply at her, feeling a wave of irritation. What did this matter have to do with her?A cold, harsh aura enveloped him.Sophia spoke up at this moment, "I'm fine, but Lucas is injured. I understand that Miss Quin is angry, but hurting someone is against the law. I hope Miss Quin won't do this again in the future."She looked at the two bodyguards. "Let go of Miss Quin."The two bodyguards immediate

Selena said, "I'm just so angry."Aveline sighed softly. "Your anger only brings suffering for both of us."Selena choked, a few traces of guilt appearing on her delicate face. "I know I was wrong.""Alright, weren't we going to have dinner together? This meal is on you," Aveline said."No problem!"Selena cheerfully agreed, linking her arm with Aveline's as they walked to the roadside.By the time they finished their meal, it was already evening.Selena wanted to go home with Aveline, but Aveline refused."You've been taking care of me in the hospital for so long. Go home and rest well, or else you won't be pretty anymore," Aveline said.Selena immediately covered her face. "Really? Am I not pretty anymore? That's unacceptable. I need to go home and take care of myself. Bye, Ave darling."Watching her leave, Aveline's smile carried a touch of helplessness.Returning directly to her apartment in the Waterfront District, she went upstairs. The light on her floor had gone out at some poi

Upon hearing this, Jolie looked at him. "Can I refuse you?""Of course you can," Gavin replied without hesitation.Jolie eyed him skeptically, finding it hard to believe he would give in so easily.Gavin figured that even if she refused, there were still six obligations left to fulfill. Once those were over, their ties would be completely severed. He was confident that by then, she wouldn’t occupy any more of his thoughts.In his life, emotions had never been a priority. Career and power were always paramount. He had set his goals clearly from a young age. So even though he now realized he liked Jolie, he wouldn’t do anything irrational for the sake of feelings. That wasn’t who he was.Jolie’s eyes gradually brightened. She had assumed he was the kind of person who would stop at nothing to get what he wanted, resorting to forceful tactics if she disagreed. His rationality made things much simpler!"Mr. Cooper, I’m sorry," Jolie said after deliberating for a moment. "We’re not very com

Gavin pulled out a document and handed it to her.Jolie glanced at it, her eyes widening in shock as she realized it was a detailed dossier on Ian. Staring at Gavin in disbelief, she asked, "What… what is this supposed to mean?"She didn’t even look at the contents again, her mind swirling with chaos. "To show you the kind of person you’re so adamantly defending," Gavin said coolly, his expression steady.Jolie’s grip on the bedsheet tightened as her thoughts spun out of control. She struggled to process what was happening. "Why are you doing this?" Their relationship was supposed to be simple—a transactional repayment of a favor. So why was he meddling in her life? Why investigate Ian? Why did he care so much about her relationship with Ian?A flood of questions filled her mind, and though the answer seemed obvious, she couldn’t bring herself to believe it.Gavin looked into her dark, clear eyes, finding something there he couldn’t quite decipher. It was rare for him to not unders

Jolie closed her eyes and said weakly, "I won’t break up.""You…" Daisy was taken aback by her stubbornness. Jolie had always been the most obedient child, the one who listened without question. Yet now, she was completely unyielding.Sighing heavily, Daisy sat down beside her. At this point, there was little she could do. Terence had already lashed out, but even that didn’t make Jolie relent. If she refused to break up, what more could they do?For now, Daisy decided to leave the matter alone. If talking to Jolie wouldn’t work, perhaps convincing Ian would be the way forward."Are you hungry?" Daisy asked after a pause."No," Jolie replied faintly. The only sensation she could focus on was the pain radiating from her back. She lay on her stomach, too afraid to move.Daisy let out a soft sigh. "If you get hungry, let me know. I’ll make you whatever you want.""Mm." Jolie barely responded, closing her eyes as exhaustion pulled her into a restless sleep.…Night fell, and Jolie stirred

Aveline said, "It’s absolutely true. I should’ve recorded it. Then you wouldn’t doubt me.""No, no, I’m not doubting you," Gernard replied quickly. "I just didn’t expect it. Brother actually said something like that? He’s always been distant from women. Growing up, there were girls who liked him, but he never paid them any attention. During school, he focused on studying, and after that, on work. Honestly, I thought he might never learn how to date. And now… he’s finally thawed!"He sounded amazed, but soon his brows furrowed. "This Jolie—she’s Selena’s younger sister, isn’t she?"Aveline nodded. "That’s right."Gernard’s frown deepened. "I think I’ve seen her before. She does resemble Selena a bit. Baby sister, you know Gavin had feelings for Selena before, but he came into the picture too late. She was already married. Do you think… is it possible he sees Jolie as a stand-in for Selena?"Aveline’s expression immediately grew tense. If that were true, it would indeed be unsettling.W

"I… I haven’t decided yet," Selena said hesitantly.Aveline replied, "Take your time. There’s no rush. You’re in Larbor City now, and so is she. When you’re ready, you can always go see her.""Mm." Selena gave a soft hum of acknowledgment and ended the call.When she looked up, she met Aaron’s gaze. He was staring at her intently.Selena’s breath caught slightly. "What’s wrong?"Aaron reached out and gently brushed her cheek with his fingertips. "If something’s troubling you, you can always tell me."Without a word, Selena leaned into his chest, seeking comfort in his silent presence. Aaron wrapped his arms around her, holding her close without pressing for answers.He had long since resolved to be with her and had quietly investigated her background. He knew her family life had been far from happy, though she had never spoken of it. He hadn’t brought it up either, respecting her silence.His earlier question had simply been a gentle nudge, hoping she might open up and feel better by s

While Selena was at the Cooper residence, she accidentally burned herself and had to be taken to the hospital. After getting her wound treated, she stepped out of the treatment room only to see a group of people hurriedly pushing a hospital bed through the hallway. Following closely behind were none other than Terence and Daisy.What were they doing here?Selena’s eyes flickered with surprise. She instinctively stepped out of their line of sight, keeping to the side. Although she was standing nearby and easily noticeable, neither Terence nor Daisy paid her any attention. Their entire focus was on the person on the bed.Selena pressed her lips together and glanced toward the hospital bed. Her eyes widened in shock as the person lying on it came into view.It was Jolie!Jolie was face down, her back covered in blood. Her clothes were stuck to her wounds, the sight both chaotic and horrifying.What happened?How could Jolie be so seriously injured?“What’s going on?” Aaron’s voice broke

Jolie lifted her gaze to meet Daisy’s, a hint of confusion on her face as she asked, "What do you mean by that?"Bang!Terence slammed his palm on the coffee table, his face already clouded with anger. "Jolie, are you playing dumb? What’s going on between you and Ian? Why didn’t you tell us beforehand? Do you have any idea how important your future is to this family?"Daisy’s expression wasn’t much better, her cold gaze fixed on Jolie, carrying an air of disapproval.Jolie had never seen Terence this furious before. She was momentarily startled but quickly steadied herself. "I like Ian, and Ian likes me," she said firmly. "Naturally, we ended up together. What’s the problem with that?""No. Absolutely not!" Terence snapped, his voice harsh and resolute. "You must break up with him immediately."Jolie shook her head. "I’m not breaking up with Ian.""Disgraceful!" Terence glared at her, pointing a trembling finger in her direction. "Do you think I won’t lay a hand on you? Jolie, I’ve cl

The next morning, Jolie woke up nestled in Gavin’s arms. His position hadn’t changed much throughout the night, holding her securely as if she might vanish if he let go.Turning slightly, she glanced at his peaceful sleeping face. Still asleep, he seemed less sharp, more tranquil, the usual coldness in his features softened."What are you staring at?" Just as she was lost in thought, his slightly hoarse voice broke the silence.Jolie quickly averted her gaze, her tone defensive. "I was wondering why you’re still here."Gavin opened his eyes, his gaze landing on her delicate profile. Without a word, he got up and walked into the bathroom.The bathroom had disposable toiletries prepared, and Gavin began washing up right there. Jolie cast him a quick glance before silently moving to stand beside him, brushing her teeth as well.Neither of them spoke, but as Jolie caught sight of their reflection in the mirror, a strange thought crossed her mind: they looked like a married couple who had

Gavin couldn’t resist her soft, pleading tone and surrendered with a resigned sigh. "Knock, knock, knock!" The knocking grew more insistent, and Jolie, catching her breath, glanced at him. "Untie me," she said softly, her voice still tinged with warmth, her eyes carrying a dazed allure. She looked utterly captivating.Gavin swallowed hard, his Adam’s apple bobbing visibly. He really didn’t want to let her leave the bed, but reluctantly, he unbound her wrists. Jolie stumbled slightly as she got up, quickly making her way to the bathroom. After washing her face and wrapping herself in a robe to look composed, she approached the door and opened it.Standing outside, as she had feared, was Daisy."Jolie, what’s going on? Why did it take you so long to open the door?" Daisy frowned, her expression stern."I just fell asleep," Jolie replied, her voice calm. "Is something wrong, Mom?"Daisy stepped forward. "Let me in. I have something to talk to you about."No way!Gavin was still inside,
