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.

    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

    Aveline found herself isolated at work. She was removed from the project team collaborating with Brighton Enterprises since the project was nearing completion and her presence was no longer required.When Aveline was informed of this, she wasn't surprised. She remained calm, focusing on her daily tasks. However, her colleagues also noticed her isolation, and those who used to curry favor with her began to distance themselves. This newfound solitude actually brought her some peace.Around noon, a deliveryman approached, calling out, "A package for Aveline Young!"Aveline paused. She hadn't ordered anything, so where was this package coming from? She took it from the deliveryman—a small box that rattled lightly when shaken. The sender was anonymous.Hesitant, she decided not to open it immediately. Given her previous experiences of being stalked, dragged into the woods, and receiving bloody photos, she wasn't about to open an unknown package without caution.Leaving the package on her d

    Aveline looked at her coldly. "You touched my things without permission and then made such a fuss about it. Don't you have any sense of shame?"Zoe's face darkened. "How dare you insult me?""If you say another word, it won't just be an insult," Aveline replied coldly.Zoe's face grew uglier, and she immediately went to find the manager.Gwen Scoot, the manager arrived quickly. When she saw what was inside the package, her expression changed instantly. She turned to Aveline and asked, "Is this yours?"Aveline's expression remained cold. "What do you mean?"Gwen said, "Why bring such disgusting things to the office? If you don't want to work, do you expect others to not work as well?"Previously, Gwen wouldn't have dared to speak to Aveline like this. Not only because she was responsible for Brighton Enterprises' projects but also because of the boss' ambiguous attitude towards her.Today, however, Gwen received a notification from Desmond himself, instructing her to remove Aveline from

    Aveline paused for a moment before walking straight past without glancing to the side. Desmond took a deep breath and approached her. "Miss Young."Aveline stopped. "What is it?"Desmond pulled out a document, a professional smile on his face. "You should sign this. It will be better for both you and Mr. Tudor."Aveline's expression darkened as she looked at the document in Desmond's hand. "What do you mean? Are you going to bring a new one every day as long as I refuse to sign? And target me in the company?"Desmond replied, "That's how it is, but I didn't instruct anyone to target you."He couldn't let himself be falsely accused.Aveline's tone was cold. "If it wasn't you, then it was Lucas. It makes no difference."Desmond was taken aback. Should he explain that she misunderstood something? He decided against it. Better to inform Lucas first; he wouldn't want to act on his own and displease him.Desmond handed the document to Aveline. "Miss Young, please sign it."Aveline took the d

    Aveline's gaze turned icy. "Do you have any proof?"Sophia responded, "He got poisoned after eating the food you prepared. What more evidence do you need?"Aveline retorted, "He bought the ingredients himself. By your logic, could I say he poisoned himself to frame me?""You!" Sophia's face darkened. "Miss Young, that's unreasonable!"Aveline replied, "It's better than twisting the facts."The tension between them was palpable."Enough!" Lucas finally spoke. His handsome, stern face was dark, and his gaze was cold as he looked at Aveline. "Do you not know why I want a divorce? Aveline, I don't want to be harsh, but you better sign the papers, or else...""Or else what?" Aveline stared directly at him, the man she once loved and shared a happy life with, her heart full of mockery. "Are you going to kill me?"Her voice was light, like a feather landing on Lucas' heart, yet it irritated him for no reason. Wasn't she the one who wanted a divorce? Why was she saying this now?Lucas' tone gr

    Lucas looked into her clear eyes, noticing her still-pale face. Her expression darkened.Suddenly, Aveline sat back down. "Forget it. You've already dirtied yourself. I don't like you anymore."Lucas' voice turned cold. "What did you say?"Aveline replied, "It's something that was going to happen sooner or later. Is there anything wrong with me saying it now?"Seeing her indifferent and even apologetic expression, Lucas felt a surge of frustration in his chest."Aren't you here to discuss the divorce?" he asked.Aveline acted as if she had just remembered. "Oh, I almost forgot."She picked up the divorce agreement, glanced through it, then sneered and tore it up right in front of him."I've decided not to divorce," she declared, tossing the shredded paper into the trash. Ignoring Lucas' darkened expression, she turned and walked away.That's right. She came to provoke him. Why should he dictate whether they divorce or not? Why should he control everything while she suffered all the gri

    Aveline said, "That does sound like a solution."Yvonne's smile deepened. "Actually, I do quite like you. If you and Lucas could stay together, it would be wonderful."Aveline gave a faint smile. "I'll think about it."Yvonne nodded. "Alright, if you need anything, just let me know. I will certainly help you.""Thank you, Mrs. Tudor."Aveline was polite on the surface, but she suspected Yvonne might have ulterior motives. However, given Yvonne's status, Aveline didn't have the leverage to confront her. So, she just went along with whatever Yvonne said, but whether she would act on it was another matter.Aveline stood up. "Mrs. Tudor, I need to go home now. Goodbye.""Alright, take care."Yvonne smiled and watched her leave, sipping her coffee leisurely. She then took the phone from her lap and pressed the button to end the recording.

    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
