After the CEO Divorced Me, He Wants Me Back Chapter 219
Aveline thought about it and decided that once she learned about her biological parents, she would leave Arthur Town immediately. She agreed, "Okay."Hilda sneered. "That's more like it."With that, she hung up the phone. Aveline set her phone aside and lay down to sleep.In the evening, at Celestial Heights, Aveline arrived to see Hilda anxiously waiting at the entrance. She walked over. "Madam Hilda."Seeing her approach, Hilda seemed to breathe a sigh of relief and grasped Aveline's hand. "Why are you so late? Do you not want to know about that item you had with you back then?"Aveline pulled her hand away. "Let's go inside first.""Yes, yes, let's go in. I’ve already booked a private room. I've wanted to try the food here for ages, but with so many children to look after, none of you ever made enough money to treat me."Hilda chattered non-stop as they entered the club. Once inside, she marveled at everything, acting as if she had never seen such luxury before. Aveline remained

Hilda continued to belittle Aveline while greedily eating the meal that Aveline was paying for. Aveline found it exasperating.Finally, after Hilda had eaten her fill, she burped and stood up, saying, "I'm going to the restroom."Aveline put down her utensils, intending to ask her about the matter once she returned. However, half an hour passed, and Hilda had not returned. Aveline's brow furrowed, and she took out her phone to call Hilda. No one answered.Aveline's expression grew cold.Just then, the door to the private room was abruptly pushed open, and a young man with a broad, menacing face walked in. He wore a leather jacket and had an insolent demeanor. His eyes lit up upon seeing Aveline."It's been years, and you’ve become even more beautiful!" he exclaimed.Aveline immediately stood up, warily eyeing the newcomer.It was Mike Portal.Mike, the son of Arthur Town's deputy mayor, was infamous for his rampant behavior and terrible reputation. Five years ago, on the night Ave

Lucas' expression remained calm and indifferent as he spoke, "Continue to refine the report. I'll conduct the assessments myself.""Understood." Steve nodded repeatedly. "Mr. Tudor, you have to stay in Arthur Town for a few more days to experience our local culture and hospitality."At that moment, the door to the private room opened, and Larry entered with a grave expression, whispering something into Steve's ear. Steve's expression shifted, but with Lucas present, he restrained himself from reacting too strongly. Just as he was about to give instructions, the door suddenly burst open, and someone stumbled inside!Five minutes earlier, in the neighboring private room.Mike advanced towards Aveline a step at a time, his eyes filled with lust as he eyed her tightly buttoned shirt, itching to tear it off."Stay away from me! If you lay a finger on me, I'll make sure your life becomes a living hell!" Aveline's face paled as she desperately searched for something to defend herself with.M

Steve cautiously glanced at Lucas and asked, "Mr. Tudor, is there something wrong?" He shot a warning look at Mike, signaling him not to cause any trouble in front of Lucas. If they offended the investor, Mike would become Arthur Town’s public enemy, and not even Steve could protect him.Mike understood the gravity of the situation. Despite wanting to drag Aveline away, he dared not act recklessly. The imposing presence of the man in the main seat created an oppressive atmosphere, making it hard for Mike to breathe.Lucas' icy, piercing gaze settled on Mike. "You said she's your girlfriend?"Mike was momentarily taken aback but quickly nodded. "Yes."With those words, the chill in the room intensified. Everyone could feel the creeping coldness.Aveline's eyes flickered, and she pressed her lips together tightly. What did he mean by this? Was he planning to intervene in her situation? She did not want him to be involved in her affairs and was reluctant to be entangled with him."No

“Don’t scream,” a deep, magnetic voice commanded, and Aveline’s struggles ceased abruptly.It was Lucas.Strangely, her fear began to dissipate. She stopped struggling, though her breathing remained rapid, and her body continued to tremble slightly from the residual fear.Lucas released his hand from her mouth, his sharp, handsome features cold in the dim light. “Aveline, did I give you permission to resign? This counts as absenteeism!”Aveline's eyelids fluttered briefly. “Then just dock my pay,” she replied.Lucas’ face twisted in anger. He gripped her neck, forcing her to look directly at him. “Why did you sell the house?”Aveline didn’t like this position.She tried to push him away, but he was too strong. “The house is mine. I can do whatever I want with it. What does it have to do with you?”Her clear, indifferent gaze irritated Lucas even more, igniting a fiery rage within him. He had been trying to contact her, but she blocked him. Now, she wouldn’t even look at him properly

Lucas appeared like he was about to lose his mind, and Aveline wasn't going to stick around for it! She quickly got into a taxi and headed back to her hotel.Inside Celestial Heights, under the dim lighting, Lucas stood tall and imposing, his expression still frozen in a slight smirk, a chilling aura radiating from him. He touched his face lightly, a low chuckle escaping him as if he had just seen a different side of Aveline—one that intrigued him even more.Just then, his phone rang. He answered, "Hello?"Sophia's gentle voice came through. "Lucas, why didn't you tell me you were going on a business trip?"Lucas' tone was cold. "Why should I inform you about my trips?"Sophia panicked slightly. "Lucas, I didn't mean to pry into your schedule. I'm just scared when you're not around."Lucas pulled out a cigarette, lit it, and took a drag, the smoke swirling around him. His voice turned even colder. "Sophia, I don’t like anyone meddling in my affairs. You understood this two years ago,

Aveline returned to the hotel, still shaken. Lucas was in Arthur Town! And from the looks of it, he planned to stay for a while. She couldn't remain there if he did.Frowning, she pondered for a moment before dialing Hilda's number. However, Hilda didn't answer, and Aveline's expression darkened. They had repeatedly targeted her—did they really think she was an easy target?She called another number and then headed to take a shower before going to bed.The next morning, Hilda was in high spirits, thinking about the previous night. She was sure Aveline hadn’t escaped this time because Mike had been fixated on her for a while.Hilda planned to check on the children but was interrupted by a knock at the door."Who is it? Coming, coming!"She hurried to the door and opened it to find several police officers standing there.Startled, she asked, "What’s the matter?"The lead officer flashed his badge and said firmly, "We've received reports of your involvement in child trafficking and fo

"I’m fine."Aveline's tone was calm. "Since she raised me, I won't hold a grudge over what happened five years ago. But after that night, I considered my debt to her repaid. This time, I won't let her off the hook. She has to face the consequences of her actions. If she's innocent, she'll be released."Zachary remained silent.Aveline took out a tissue and wiped the corner of her mouth. "Zachary, I advise you to leave Arthur Town and explore opportunities elsewhere. You're still young, staying here will only hold you back."Zachary replied, "I understand. I'll think about it."After hanging up, Aveline returned to the hotel, planning to visit the police station a few days later to inquire about her background.Hilda needed to suffer a bit.To avoid Lucas, Aveline hadn't left her room for several days.That particular morning, she received a call from Russell."Aveline, you haven't forgotten your promise to me, have you?" Russell's light-hearted voice came through.Aveline paused, her m

The reason it wasn’t the same was simple—her plan would fall apart if she got caught.Of course, that wasn’t something she could admit.Jolie simply said, "I just don’t want any unnecessary complications. Since you’ve already arranged the flight, let’s just leave directly."Gavin’s dark eyes fixed on her for a moment, but he didn’t press the issue.It was clear she didn’t want to talk about it any further, so he let it drop.When the elevator doors opened, the two of them walked out together. A car was already waiting at the entrance. Gavin, ever the gentleman, opened the door for her.The car pulled away from Cooper Enterprises, and Gavin asked, "What do you want to eat?"Jolie, busy typing on her phone, replied, "I know a good restaurant."It was a cozy place she loved, one she often visited with her friends."Alright," Gavin replied, pulling out his phone to respond to some emails. With his work condensed into such a tight schedule, he seized every spare moment to handle it.Jolie p

Gavin suddenly recalled Wilfried's words, "That girl doesn’t even like you."Lowering his gaze slightly, Gavin pushed the thought aside without explanation, his expression remaining cool and indifferent as he watched her. After Jolie finished looking through the photos, she turned to him and asked, "Why do you have pictures of all these women?" "My father brought them over," Gavin replied. "Oh." Jolie nodded knowingly and didn’t press further. It was easy enough to figure out—the Cooper family obviously wanted him to consider an arranged marriage, so they sent over these photos for him to choose from. She could understand that. In fact, she even helped him look through them, just in case one of these women turned out to be a good match for him. After all, their relationship wasn’t meant to last forever. When he grew tired of her and she had her fun, they’d part ways, and everything would return to normal. As she neatly organized the photos and placed them back on the ta

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
