Lucas pushed her away gently and took out a small box. "Happy birthday."Rebecca happily took it. "Thank you, Lucas! I love the gift you gave me!"The gift itself didn't matter; what mattered was who gave it.Lucas smiled warmly. "I'm glad you like it."Rebecca's eyes landed on Aveline, who was holding Lucas' arm. Her face clouded over. In a flash, she shoved Aveline aside and latched onto Lucas herself."Who do you think you are?" Rebecca snapped. "What gives you the right to hang on Lucas like that?"Her arrogant demeanor resembled that of a spoiled little princess.Taken by surprise, Aveline lost her balance. Before she could fall, Lucas reached out and steadied her.A cold glint flashed in her eyes, but before she could say anything, she caught Lucas' warning gaze. Fine, she'd endure it.Rebecca clung to Lucas' arm as they walked inside. "Lucas, I heard about what happened to you. I'm so glad you came back safe. My father has been worried and is waiting for you inside.""Mm, I'm f

Lucas' body stiffened as he looked at her soft, warm smile, and his heart softened along with it."Alright.""Mr. Tudor, you're so kind," Aveline said sweetly.Rebecca was livid! Her cousin had been right; this woman was nothing but a slut! No way would she allow such a wretch to stay by Lucas’ side. Lucas was hers!"Dad, I want Lucas to keep me company for a while. It's my birthday today, so can we skip the boring business talk, please?" Rebecca clung to Reynold's arm, pouting.Reynold looked at his daughter with fondness, gently tapping her nose. "Come on, sweetie. You're a big girl now. No need to hang onto Lucas like that, okay?""Alright, alright, I know," Rebecca replied, then turned to Lucas. "Lucas, let's go outside, okay? My garden is beautiful, and I haven't shown it to anyone else. I just want to share it with you!"Reynold added, "Lucas, it's Rebecca's birthday today. Let's not discuss business. You young people should go have fun. No need to stay with me."Lucas nodded

Lucas said calmly, "Your friends have arrived. You should go see what gifts they brought you."Rebecca bit her lip in frustration, shot Aveline a venomous glare, and walked away, lifting her dress as she went.Aveline sighed. "Lucas, I think you're setting me up to be hated."Lucas replied, "Am I?"Aveline said, "That little princess now holds a grudge against me. Since you brought me here, you have to ensure my safety. If anything were to happen to me, it’d be on you."Lucas' eyes locked onto hers, and a faint smile curved his lips. "Don't worry, you won't be missing any limbs."Aveline instinctively shrank back, not wanting to continue the topic. She had to admit, the rose volcano was indeed beautiful, and she couldn't help but take a few more glances.Lucas and Aveline strolled around the garden, admiring the scenery. When they reached a pavilion, Lucas's phone rang. He checked the caller ID and said, "I need to take this call."Aveline nodded and stayed in the pavilion, not wander

Rebecca blinked. "Who is Aveline?"Lucas replied, "The girl who came with me."Rebecca, looking indifferent, said, " How would I know? I'm only concerned with you; everyone else is irrelevant to me. Perhaps she's never been here and found something she likes."As the heiress of the Johnson family, Rebecca was confident that anyone who came to their house would always be impressed, let alone Aveline, that despicable woman!Lucas glared at her, a chilling coldness sweeping over Rebecca. His tone grew colder. "Rebecca, please send someone to look for her. She's not familiar with this place, and it wouldn't be good if she damaged any of your things."Rebecca laughed and said, "It's alright. She is your guest. If she likes something, I'll give it to her. Lucas, let's not talk about her anymore. Will you join me in making my birthday wishes?”She grabbed Lucas' arm again, shaking it like an innocent little princess.However, Lucas felt an inexplicable anxiety. He had been calling Aveline t

Tears welled up in Rebecca's eyes from the pain. When she met Lucas' icy gaze, she shrank back in fear and said, "I... I don't know where she went, Lucas. You're really hurting me!"Lucas, emanating a chilling aura, showed her the surveillance video on his phone. The footage, discovered by Maria, revealed Aveline being brought to Rebecca, who then said something before the bodyguards carried Aveline away.However, there was no further footage showing where they took her.Rebecca widened her eyes. "I... I..."Lucas grabbed a nearby wine glass and smashed it, then pointed the broken edge at her face. "Tell me, where is Aveline?"Seeing his fierce expression, Rebecca's face turned pale with fear. "I'll tell you, I'll tell you, just let go of me..."Lucas looked terrifying! He actually wanted to disfigure her for that despicable woman!Rebecca couldn’t help but hate Aveline even more.Lucas coldly released her hand, his icy gaze fixed on her.Suddenly, Rebecca saw Reynold and immediately

Lucas exuded an icy demeanor as he spoke, his tone equally frosty. "If that's how it is, then perhaps someday I'll play a similar prank on Rebecca. I trust, Mr. Reynold, you'll treat it as lightly as you are today."Reynold's expression darkened. "Lucas, what do you mean by that?"Lucas replied icily, "I need to see her now."He needed to confirm Aveline's safety before addressing any other matters.Reynold took out his phone and called the butler. "Have you found her?"The butler's voice wavered, "Sir... we've found her, but..."Reynold immediately pressed, "But what?"Just then, Lucas heard the faint sound of dogs barking. His eyes narrowed, and he dashed toward the noise.Aveline was awakened by a dog licking her. She opened her eyes to see a furry face, the dog's tongue continuously licking her arm, the wet sensation filling her with disgust and terror.It was a mastiff!Her face turned pale with fear, and she lay rigidly on the ground, not daring to move a muscle. Rebecca was tru

Aveline finally snapped out of her shock and hurried to help him up. However, having been so terrified earlier, her legs nearly gave out now that she had calmed down.Lucas caught her just in time. "Are you alright? Can you walk?"Aveline shook her head. "I'm fine, really. But your hand... it's covered in blood."Lucas replied, "It's nothing. Don't worry."But Aveline couldn't help worrying. It was a mastiff; what if Lucas suffered from broken bones?Reynold rushed over, his face dark with anger. "Get rid of that beast immediately!""Yes, sir," the butler responded, quickly ordering the mastiff to be taken away.Reynold turned to Lucas. "Lucas, I'll take you to the hospital. Your wound needs to be treated."Lucas said nothing, his eyes fixed on Aveline.Aveline, having regained her composure, helped him out of the villa and into the car. Given that the incident happened at the Johnson family home, Reynold naturally followed them to the hospital.Only after seeing the doctor treat Luc

The warmth had faded from his demeanor, replaced by a sense of seriousness and oppression. Lucas' strikingly handsome face remained emotionless as he coldly said, "Of course I remember. If it weren't for that incident, Mr. Reynold, you wouldn't have walked away unscathed from what had happened."Reynold's expression darkened instantly. Lucas was using past events to threaten him, just as he had tried to remind Lucas of them. Impressive, indeed!Reynold took a deep breath and said, "Lucas, this matter is my fault for failing to discipline my daughter properly. I apologize to you and Miss Aveline. I have a diamond mine under my name. I'll arrange for its transfer to you tomorrow. Will that suffice?"He was willing to embarrass himself and even give up a diamond mine to protect Rebecca from punishment, showing just how much he pampered his daughter. Rebecca's arrogance and unruliness stemmed from her father's unrestrained indulgence.“Reynold's offer was sincere, leaving Lucas with no r

Jolie stirred, her eyes fluttering open in the dimly lit cabin. The sharp, handsome features of the man before her were so close that she could feel the warmth of his breath. His lips, carrying his familiar scent, gently traced hers, as if torn between waking her and letting her sleep. Her breath hitched, a brief moment of confusion washing over her. Gavin noticed and, in response, pressed a firm kiss to her lips. "Did I wake you?" "You did that on purpose," Jolie replied, her voice soft and husky from sleep. "Mm." Gavin didn’t deny it, his tone unapologetic as he leaned down to kiss her again. Still groggy, Jolie found herself caught off guard, his lips capturing hers with a growing intensity. By the time she realized what was happening, he had deepened the kiss, his tongue teasing and tangling with hers in an intoxicating rhythm. Her breath quickened, and she instinctively pushed against him. Gavin pulled back, only to trail kisses along her cheek and down her neck, his

The night air was cool, a gentle breeze slipping through the car window and lifting the strands of hair framing her face. They fluttered across her vision, briefly distracting her, yet she could still clearly see his eyes. At that moment, the unease and uncertainty stirring in her chest melted away, replaced by an inexplicable sense of calm. It felt as though there was nothing he couldn’t handle. As long as he wanted to. Jolie smiled softly and said, "Alright." When they arrived at the private airstrip, the captain came forward to exchange a few words with Gavin. Standing nearby, Jolie watched and couldn’t resist asking, "How long will you be staying?" Gavin glanced at her. "How long do you want me to stay?" The overly intimate tone of his words, spoken with such casual ease, caught her off guard. Her cheeks flushed immediately—especially since there were others around to hear it. Lowering her gaze shyly, she murmured, "You can stay as long as you want." She turned he

Gavin looked at her, his gaze steady, and replied in a calm voice, "You’ve got the leverage to do it." Oh... Jolie’s heart skipped a beat, her pulse momentarily thrown off rhythm. What was this feeling? It was as if someone was spoiling her, cherishing her unconditionally. Even though it was just a simple conversation, it carried a warmth she couldn’t ignore. For a moment, she realized that what she once thought was affection and care had been nothing but an illusion. A smile unconsciously curved on her lips as her eyes lit up. "Does this mean I can walk around Larbor City like I own the place?" Gavin raised an eyebrow. "Are you a crab?" Jolie burst into laughter, her mood instantly lifted by his quick-witted remark. Her earlier irritation dissipated, replaced by lightheartedness. Whether or not he meant it, the fact that he sided with her made her happy. "I’m full. Should we head out?" she asked, her appetite long gone after everything that had happened earlier.

The girl stared in disbelief, her hands clutching her face. "You hit me?" Jolie blinked innocently at her. "Weren’t you the one insisting I hit you earlier? I just gave you another slap to match your story. You should be used to it by now." "Jolie Quin!" Ian had reached his limit, his voice full of anger as he glared at her. "Apologize to her!" Jolie glanced at him, her expression calm but icy. "Get lost." She had thought he might be reasonable, but clearly, he was blinded by infatuation. She had no patience to deal with him any longer and turned to leave. Before she could take a step, Ian grabbed her arm roughly. "Jolie, you’re not leaving without apologizing! I don’t think I’ve ever wronged you, have I? We used to get along just fine, didn’t we?" "Let go," Jolie said, her brows knitting in disgust. She hated being touched, especially by someone she considered beneath her. Ian tightened his grip, his hand digging into her arm hard enough to cause pain. "Jolie, yo

Jolie was completely baffled, a string of question marks running through her mind. But when the girl suddenly dropped to her knees, it genuinely startled her.She quickly reached out to help her up. "Get up first. We can talk properly."Before Jolie could react, the girl grabbed her hand and slapped herself hard across the face with it.Smack!The crisp sound echoed in the quiet hallway, leaving Jolie frozen in shock."Why did you hit me?" The girl, who had just been crying like an innocent damsel in distress, now clutched her face and loudly accused her. "Ian and I are the real couple! You’re the one coming between us. How could you hit me?"Jolie blinked, completely dumbfounded, as the girl’s voice rang out.A few passersby paused, glancing over to witness the commotion.Meanwhile, Ian, who had been waiting and wondering why his girlfriend hadn’t returned, came looking for her. The scene he walked into—his girlfriend on the ground, crying and accusing Jolie—made him stride forward,

The person in the hallway glanced at her briefly but quickly looked away, as though she were a stranger. Jolie’s hand, lifted halfway to wave, stalled in mid-air.What... was that? Gavin noticed her reaction and asked in a low voice, "What’s wrong?" "Nothing," Jolie replied, shaking her head and brushing it off. The man outside was Ian. Pretending not to know her was probably his way of avoiding unnecessary trouble—after all, they had already "broken up." The door to their private room shut completely, and Gavin hadn’t seen Ian or his group. He turned back to her and asked, "Do you come here often?" "Yeah," Jolie nodded. "I come here a lot with friends." So, this was one of her favorite hidden gems. The fact that she was willing to share it with him felt significant somehow. Gavin caught himself lingering on that thought and was momentarily taken aback by his own reaction. He kept his expression neutral, not letting on what had crossed his mind. The food arrived qui

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
After the CEO Divorced Me, He Wants Me Back Chapter 1139
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
