After the CEO Divorced Me, He Wants Me Back Chapter 176
Brian had taken Sophia straight to the hospital. She had been so terrified that she fainted from crying. Brian had already captured the men who kidnapped her. After some interrogation, they confessed that someone named Aveline had ordered them to do it.Lucas' first reaction was disbelief. Then, he received that recording in his email.The impossible suddenly seemed possible.Lucas kept quiet."Lucas!" Sophia looked at Lucas with tear-filled eyes. "I won't blame you for loving another woman, but you shouldn't love someone so cruel. She doesn't deserve to be by your side!"Lucas' dark eyes turned to her. "You didn't rest well last night. I'll have Brian take you home to rest, and he will protect you for now."Sophia pointed at Aveline. "What about her? What do you plan to do with her?"Punish her?Aveline's long eyelashes trembled slightly before she looked at Sophia and said, "Whether you believe it or not, I never had anyone kidnap you."Sophia's eyes filled with hatred as she looke

Sophia shook her head, refusing to come down. Her eyes were still filled with tears as she looked at Lucas. "I know, I'm no longer important. I have been living this life for you, and if you don't need me anymore, there's no point in me staying alive."She turned around, spreading her arms wide, like a butterfly about to take flight."No!" Lucas shouted in alarm.Suddenly, a cry of pain echoed nearby."Miss Winter, she's kneeling to you!" Brian's voice rang out.Everyone looked over to see that Brian had somehow forced Aveline to the ground, making her kneel in front of Sophia.Aveline struggled. "Let go..."But she was no match for Brian. He held her down firmly, keeping her from getting up.Brian stared intently at Sophia. "Miss Winter, it's her who did wrong, not Mr. Tudor. Don't blame Mr. Tudor. She took advantage of his gratitude and refused to divorce him!"Aveline's eyes widened in shock.Sophia turned to Lucas. "Lucas, is this true?"Lucas said nothing, his lips pressed into a

Lucas' body stiffened as he looked at Sophia's tear-streaked face. Her pale complexion and the way her skirt fluttered in the wind revealed her prosthetic leg.He swallowed hard and finally uttered a single word, "Okay."Sophia's face lit up with joy, but then her eyes closed, and she fainted.Lucas immediately scooped her up and walked quickly back inside. As he saw the hospital staff, his voice was ice-cold. "Seal off the rooftop!""Yes, sir..." The hospital director nodded quickly, visibly shaken. He waved his hand and said, "Hurry, contact the construction team. Seal off the rooftop. If anyone else tries to jump in a moment of despair, how can this hospital continue operating?"Brian had already released Aveline.She slowly got up from the ground, staring dazedly as Lucas carried Sophia away at a brisk pace. At that moment, her heart felt like it was being torn apart.She took a deep breath. She had to find out how that recording and Sophia's kidnapping had happened. She couldn't l

He turned and headed back to the hospital room.Sophia was already receiving an IV. After the trauma of being kidnapped last night, her mental state was already fragile. Today's events had only worsened it, and fainting was a mild reaction."Mr. Tudor," Brian called from the doorway.Lucas stood by the bedside and looked over at him, his eyes filled with a sharp, icy coldness that bore into Brian.Brian felt a chill spread from his feet to his entire body, reaching the depths of his soul.Lucas walked out, closed the door behind him, and went into the stairwell.Brian followed silently.Once inside the stairwell, Brian spoke. "I saw Miss Young get into Mr. Russell's car. Mr. Tudor, Miss Young is definitely not innocent. Mr. Russell is the nephew of that person, and Miss Young has been getting close to him recently. With Miss Winter's kidnapping, it must be...""Bang!"Before he could finish, Lucas' fist landed squarely on his face.Brian staggered back several steps but didn't dare fig

Aaron replied, "It's from an anonymous overseas account."After a pause, he added, "It's pretty obvious who's behind this. They won't stop until you're dead."Lucas placed the tablet aside and suddenly said, "Have someone keep an eye on Aveline."Aaron frowned. "After everything that's happened, you're still protecting her?"Lucas looked at him with a deep gaze. "Don't you understand why she's in this situation?"Aaron moved his lips but finally sighed, "Alright, but I'm not letting go of the poisoning incident. I still suspect she's working for them."Lucas said nothing. Was she really?Memories of the past year flooded his mind. If she were truly involved, she had numerous opportunities to harm him. But she hadn't.Her eyes were so clear, her smile so pure. He didn't want to believe it, yet past events made him wary of trusting too easily.Seeing Lucas' troubled expression, Aaron pondered for a moment before asking, "Do you really plan to marry Sophia?"Lucas replied, "I'm still mar

Gwen thought she needed to teach that arrogant woman a lesson so she would understand her place."Hello?" Desmond answered the call.Gwen exaggerated Aveline's situation and then tactfully said, "Mr. Blake, Aveline might have changed after securing the collaboration with Brighton Enterprises. I'm at a loss, so I came to you for help. What should I do?"Desmond asked, "Did she request leave?"Gwen replied, "Yes, she did."Desmond said, "Then what's the problem?"Huh?Gwen was stunned. Was that it? No reprimand? No talk of dismissing Aveline?What was going on?Gwen was momentarily unsure and said, "Mr. Blake, this..."Desmond replied, "She hasn’t made any big mistakes or caused the company any harm. There must be a reason she took leave. If you can't manage this, why are you in this role?"Startled, Gwen quickly said, "I understand, Mr. Blake. I'll handle it. Sorry for bothering you!"After saying that, she hurriedly hung up the phone!She initially thought Aveline had fallen out of fav

Aveline smiled slightly at him. "It's nothing. I just wanted to see if you needed to go to the hospital."Russell replied, "No need."Aveline picked up her fork again. "Then let's eat first."She started eating, although she didn't have much of an appetite. There were still many things she needed to deal with.Russell's charming eyes looked deeply at her, but he didn't say much more.After the meal, Aveline went to pay the bill, only to be told it had already been paid.She paused and looked at Russell. "Russ, didn't we agree that I would treat you?"Russell lazily said, "When you're out with me, there's no way I'd let you pay."Aveline blinked. "So, can I invite you to meals often in the future?"Russell's mouth twitched slightly. "Sure."Aveline smiled, then sat back down.Russell waved his phone at her. "The video has been sent to your email."Aveline immediately opened it, and when she saw the girl who bumped into her tampering with the food, her expression turned serious.Someone

Seeing her, Sharon's face immediately showed fury, and she charged over, raising her hand to slap Aveline's face."You wretch! How dare you arrange for someone to kidnap Sophia? How could you be so cruel?" Sharon exclaimed.Aveline widened her eyes, and she quickly grabbed Sharon's hand, then forcefully pushed her away. "Are you crazy? Do you always lash out when you see someone? Do you need to get your brain checked?""Wretch!"Sharon stumbled from the push, but she steadied herself and glared at Aveline, wishing she could tear her apart."It's you who refuses to divorce Lucas, you are the mistress, yet cling to the position as his wife. How shameless can you be?"Aveline, already furious with Lucas, now found Sharon directly in her line of fire.She coldly said, "My marriage with Lucas is protected by law. The law will decide who the real mistress is. If you keep troubling me over this, I'm not afraid to confront you. Knowing me, you should be aware that I have nothing, and thus noth

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

Jolie watched Selena’s retreating figure and shook her head in frustration. What could she do? Selena’s emotional wounds ran deep, and no matter what Jolie tried, it seemed impossible to bridge the gap between them.Returning to the party, she glanced around at the crowd of men and women mingling with champagne flutes in hand, but her mind wasn’t on the event. She casually picked up a glass of champagne from a passing waiter and sipped it slowly.What she didn’t notice was a man standing across the room, watching her. As she drank, his eyes darkened, and he licked his lips suggestively.After finishing about half the glass, Jolie started feeling strange. Her body was growing weak, her skin hot and feverish, and a strange itchiness spread through her veins.Her brows furrowed in confusion. What was happening? She headed toward the restroom, but as she rounded a corner, her legs gave out, and she had to grab the wall for support to keep from collapsing."Did someone drug me?" she murmu

Maria looked at the two little ones, absolutely delighted, and then turned to Aveline. "I’ve got some happy news to share as well."Selena guessed, "You're pregnant?"Maria nodded. "That’s right."Selena gave her a thumbs-up. "Wow, that was fast! You said it and made it happen."Maria smiled. "I couldn’t fall too far behind. I need to make sure my kid has the best opportunities and chances, right?" With their babies close in age to Ethan and Emma, Maria thought it would be perfect for them to grow up together, maybe even become childhood sweethearts.She looked at Selena and asked, "Weren’t you eager at first too? Why haven’t you made any moves yet?"Selena sighed. "I’m not sure. Honestly, I’m a little scared."Maria reassured her, "Take your time, no rush."Selena got up and left the room, heading outside for some fresh air. Seeing Aveline go through the struggles of pregnancy and the dangers of childbirth genuinely frightened her. On top of that, she worried she wouldn’t be a good m

At first, the twin really did look quite wrinkly and not very cute, but as time passed, they started to fill out and became more and more beautiful. The baby boy had a calm demeanor, rarely crying or fussing. He spent most of his time either eating or sleeping, with large, dark eyes like black grapes, a high nose, a tiny mouth, and chubby, round cheeks full of baby fat.The baby girl, on the other hand, was much more lively and prone to fussing, expressing her displeasure whenever things didn’t go her way. She cried the most between the two.The baby boy was born first, and the girl was the younger sister. Every time, the sister seemed determined to make her brother cry, but she never succeeded. Once fed, she would calm down.“Have you thought of any names for them yet?” Selena asked, looking at Aveline, who was slowly recovering, while playfully toying with the little ones in the stroller.Aveline replied, "We’ve chosen some temporary nicknames, but we haven’t settled on their full n

Aveline said, "Braden is probably not interested."“Huh? Why?” Selena asked, confusion spreading across her face.Aveline explained, “Baron, Braden, and Maria all have a special bond with Lucas. No matter what, they wouldn’t betray him.”She paused for a moment, her thoughts drifting to Brian, the man who had always seen it as his duty to protect Lucas. She wondered how he was faring now.Selena shrugged. “Alright, I suppose. He’s helped me a lot recently, and if it weren’t for him, I wouldn’t have handled everything so smoothly.”Aveline replied, “It’s all over now. Taking him with you wouldn’t really serve any purpose.”“True,” Selena agreed, nodding as she let go of the subject.She ended up staying in Larbor City for a month. One night, Aveline suddenly went into labor. The family rushed to action—though there was some initial chaos, they quickly regained control. Drivers got the car ready, calls to the hospital were made, and everything unfolded smoothly.At the hospital, Lucas h

To mitigate the impact of the incident, the Fletcher family arranged a marriage with the Skyler family, setting the wedding date for just one month later, a rather hasty decision. Aaron officially became the head of the Fletcher family, and despite any grievances Nathalie might have had, she didn’t dare voice them, keeping her frustration to herself.Selena, on the other hand, finally had some leisure time. With Aaron busier than ever, she felt bored and decided to visit Aveline in Larbor City.Aveline’s belly had grown quite large, and with just a month left until her due date, her feet had started swelling, looking puffy and rounded like little pillows. Seeing her condition, Selena couldn't help but remark, "Pregnancy looks so tough. I'm starting to get a little scared."Aveline glanced at her. "Are you planning to get pregnant?"As far as she remembered, Selena had never mentioned such plans.Selena nodded, then shared the idea she had previously about arranging a marriage between

Aaron held her hand and led her directly out of the room upstairs.Meanwhile, inside the room, Nathalie had someone forcibly separate the two entangled people. Ernest looked utterly disheveled, still trying to grab onto Lila and continue.Lila, now slightly regaining her senses, realized the situation. She let out a piercing scream, wrapped herself in the blanket, and cried out in distress."How could this happen? Why did it turn out like this? Why am I here? Mom, wasn't that bitch Selena supposed to be in this room? Why is it me? Why me!"The sensation in her body was undeniable, and seeing Ernest in his dazed state, she could already imagine how wild things had been between them. Worse yet, many people had witnessed it!This scene was supposed to fall on Selena!What went wrong?Nathalie hugged her, trying to calm her down, "Don’t get worked up, Lila. You can’t afford to get upset right now. It’s okay, mom’s here with you. I’ll take care of this."But Lila was inconsolable, sobbing u
