Brian shook his head vigorously. "No, you've got it wrong. The reason I respect Miss Winter so much is because she saved Mr. Tudor back then, even losing a leg in the process. Doesn't a woman like that deserve to be cherished?" Desmond scrutinized him for a moment before abruptly asking, "So, you think they've managed to deceive everyone?"Brian was taken aback. "What do you mean by that?"Desmond shook his head in exasperation. "If you don't get it, forget it."He turned to leave but stopped after a few steps, looking back at Brian with a serious expression. "Make sure to protect Miss Young. If you don't, your life will be on the line."With Brian still looking confused, Desmond walked away again.Brian stood there, stunned for a long moment before collecting himself. Lucas' request to protect Aveline resonated deeply. He was prepared to defend her with his life if needed.After this incident, he understood his role clearly. He was just a subordinate, and his life belonged to Lucas.

The call connected, and Aaron's cheeky voice came through."Give Selena something to do," Lucas said coldly."Hmm?" Aaron asked, puzzled. "What did she do to provoke you? Let me guess, she's advising Aveline to leave you, isn't she?"Lucas' eyes turned icy. "You're quite perceptive."Aaron retorted, "Hey, you're asking me for a favor. Could you at least be a bit more polite?""Oh, you're really perceptive."Aaron sighed. "Fine, fine. I know I'll never hear a kind word from you, but don't worry. I'll take care of it."Lucas acknowledged, "Keep an eye on things over there too.""Don't worry, everything's under control," Aaron reassured."Good."...After finishing her morning routine, Aveline came out to find breakfast already delivered by the hotel. They ate together before heading to the hospital.Lucas needed his arm re-bandaged and to receive injections. Aveline couldn't bear to watch, turning her face away when the bandages were removed.Lucas stared at her, his lips pressed into a

Unfortunately, Aveline couldn’t turn back time. If she could go back to the past, she would have done so already!Aveline turned her head towards the window, her lips pressing into a tight line. Lucas, too, looked out the opposite window, the tension between them thickening.When they arrived at Celestial Heights, Lucas had barely stepped out of the car when a petite figure dashed towards him."Lucas!" Rebecca's eyes sparkled as she looked at Lucas, but before she could reach him, Desmond intercepted her.In response, Rebecca swung her hand and slapped Desmond across the face. "Who do you think you are? How dare you stop me? Mark my words, if I were to complain to Lucas about you, he’d fire you on the spot!"Rebecca's sudden outburst caught everyone off guard, and Aveline's brows furrowed as she glanced at Desmond. Although he was Lucas' lackey, Desmond had never made things difficult for her. They weren't close, but she couldn't help feeling indignant on his behalf.Lucas' expressio

"Yes, sir." Desmond quickly nodded and turned to carry out the orders.Given the diamond mine deal and Reynold’s promise to ground Rebecca for a month, Lucas had let the matter slide. Yet, within days, he allowed Rebecca to venture out. If Reynold couldn't enforce discipline with his daughter, he would have to deal with the consequences.Aveline poured Lucas a glass of water and placed it in front of him before turning to leave.Lucas stared at her and asked, "Don't you have anything to say?"Aveline's expression was indifferent. "You didn't do anything wrong. Why should I say anything?"Her words unexpectedly lifted Lucas' gloomy mood. In the past, she would have scoffed at his actions. Could it be that she was beginning to care for him again?With this thought, Lucas reached out and pulled her towards him.Aveline frowned. "What are you doing?"Lucas locked his eyes onto hers as his gaze fell lower. He leaned in to kiss her."Are you crazy?" Aveline pushed him away and hurried back t

The car stopped at the entrance of Celestial Heights, but Lucas did not get out. Aveline exited the vehicle. Watching the car drive away, she exhaled a sigh of relief, then turned and walked towards the supermarket to buy groceries for tonight’s dinner. It would be the last meal. Just the thought that she could leave and be free after today made her extremely happy!At the supermarket, she bought the groceries and sent the receipt to Lucas. After receiving his transfer, she smiled and headed back towards Celestial Heights. However, as she passed a corner, two people suddenly grabbed her and dragged her away before she could react. She quickly lost consciousness.Not far away, a swift figure dashed towards them!The two kidnappers lifted Aveline into their car, thinking this task was too easy. But in the next second, one of them received a heavy blow to the head! The blow was so strong that both of them collapsed to the ground, unconscious.Brian adjusted his clothes, took out his ph

Aveline didn't dare think too much about it. She had been disappointed too many times before."I don’t feel safe in Arthur Town. I want to leave now," she said.Lucas frowned at her words. "Do you think you'll be safe once you leave Arthur Town?"Aveline looked up at him. "I have a rough idea of who's targeting me. If I can get out of their reach, they'll have a harder time finding me."Lucas replied, "You're being naive, Aveline. The circles of power are all about connections. You think leaving Arthur Town will make you safe, but how do you know the city you go to won't have people closely connected to those here?"Aveline's brow furrowed as she looked at him. "What do you mean?"Lucas' eyes stared deeply into hers. "Stay here. I'll protect you."Aveline pressed her pale lips into a thin line. She didn't want to stay, but he was right. She couldn't ensure her safety on her own. Following him might be the best option. Yet, deep down, she was reluctant to follow through with that idea.

Desmond remarked, "This was really a close call. Thank goodness Mr. Tudor had the foresight to assign Brian to protect you discreetly. Otherwise, you would have been in serious trouble."Aveline was stunned to hear this.Lucas had assigned Brian to protect her?Wasn't he afraid Brian would kill her outright? She still hadn't forgotten how Brian had forced her to kneel to Sophia last time!Brian, unable to meet Aveline’s eyes, stood to the side with his head lowered, like a child who had done something wrong.Desmond, ever perceptive, immediately noticed the tension and changed the subject. "Miss Young, I'll take you back. Rest assured, Mr. Tudor will definitely find out who is behind this and give you an explanation."Aveline nodded slightly, feeling a mix of emotions she couldn't quite identify.Desmond escorted Aveline back to Celestial Heights. After leaving the hospital, Brian disappeared into the shadows, presumably to continue protecting her.Aveline felt indifferent about it.B

Selena sighed heavily. "After I went back to work, I organized an event. Aaron, as the sponsor, sent an item for display, which I accidentally broke it. That item was worth one million dollars, and my company, fearing liability, fired me. So now I have to sell myself... but not in the way you're thinking!"Listening to her, Aveline sensed a conspiracy. She asked, "Did you keep the broken item?"Selena replied, "No, his men took it away immediately."Aveline sighed, rubbing her forehead in frustration. Any lingering doubts vanished; she was now sure that Aaron had framed Selena.Aveline asked, "Selena, are you still using a dummy account to interact with Aaron?""Of course I am. He's causing me trouble, so I might as well get something out of it!"Aveline breathed a sigh of relief. "Good. I'll transfer the money to you now. Pay him back and get out of there as soon as possible.""Got it. Thanks, darling! Love you!" Selena smothered her phone with kisses.Aveline ended the call and trans

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

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
