Aveline dragged Sophia to the bedroom door.

Inside, a bedside lamp cast a dim, yellow light.

Lucas, wearing a bathrobe, leaned against the headboard, the robe's collar open. He had a cigarette between his lips, and smoke swirled lazily around him.

"Continue what you were doing," Aveline said, pushing Sophia inside, her expression cold as she watched them.

Her hands and feet were freezing.

Ha...

He couldn’t even control his lust even when they were at the Tudor family mansion?

He had claimed he wouldn't marry Sophia.

But now, here he was trying to sleep with her, right in front of Aveline.

She had even considered whether to divorce...

Did it matter? It didn't matter anymore!

Lucas had never truly been her Lu; he had always intended to be responsible for Sophia.

Now, he and Sophia were finally together.

She should be clapping and celebrating her newfound freedom!

But why? Why did it hurt so much? She had decided not to love him, so why was it still so painful?

Aveline had a talen

    The night was deep and dark. The sky, faintly lit by moonlight, was gradually covered by dark clouds. Raindrops began to fall, eventually turning into a torrential downpour. The rain streaked down the windows, creating a chaotic pattern of lines that cast a fragmented, shadowy light into the room.Aveline bit down hard on Lucas' shoulder, her eyes filled with hatred as she trembled and cried uncontrollably. Lucas' shoulder muscles tensed like stone, veins bulging at his temples, and his eyes were filled with cold, piercing fury."I hate you, Lucas, I hate you!" Aveline sobbed, hitting him with her fists, struggling and gasping for breath, refusing to give in.Lucas, however, was overwhelmingly forceful, as if he wanted to devour her whole. His aggression was relentless.She eventually ran out of strength, left helplessly crying. Why was he treating her this way? He was already slept with Sophia, so why did he still need to take out his frustrations on her? Why not just divorce her

    Brian was silent for a moment before he said, "Miss Young fainted and was taken by Mr. Russell."Lucas' voice was laced with cold anger. "Why didn’t you interfere?"Brian paused before responding, "You instructed me to ensure her safety, and Mr. Russell did not harm her."Lucas hung up the phone without another word.Brian sighed, thinking to himself, "Did I do something wrong? I was just following orders."...Aveline's world spun, her body cycling between feverish heat and chilling cold. Consciousness ebbed and flowed like tides, leaving her adrift. Muffled voices reached her ears, but their words were lost in the haze. Without warning, something acrid touched her tongue, and she reflexively expelled it."Aveline?"The voice became clearer and somewhat familiar. She slowly opened her eyes and saw Russell's devilishly handsome face close to hers.She blinked in surprise. "Russ, what are you doing here?"Russell frowned and said, "You fainted, and now you have a fever. Take the medicin

    Aveline didn’t hear his words; she had already fallen asleep.At some point, the rain had stopped. When Aveline woke up again, it was already daylight. She felt weak and sore all over and coughed a couple of times."Awake? Are you hungry?" A tired, raspy voice came from beside her. Aveline turned her head and saw Russell sitting on the sofa. His short hair was a bit messy, and his eyes showed signs of fatigue.She sat up and said, "Russ, did you stay up all night?"Russell replied, "Yes, I kept an eye on you, afraid something might happen."He stared at her intently after speaking. Aveline paused, then looked at him gratefully. “Russ, thank you. If only we were truly family."Russell fell silent.A hint of frustration flickered in his eyes. Did she really not see him in a romantic light at all?How was he supposed to deal with this?Russell irritably ran a hand through his hair.Seeing this, Aveline quickly asked, "Russ, what's wrong?"With his head down, hands tangled in his hair, he

    A man like that was trouble, plain and simple. The sooner they steered clear, the better. Russell made a mental note: once this mess outside was sorted, he would need to have a serious talk with Aveline.Stepping outside the mansion, he saw Lucas' car ramming the gate once more. This time, the gate couldn't withstand the impact and was forced open. The car screeched to a halt just thirty centimeters from Russell, drawing gasps from onlookers.Russell's devilishly handsome face remained impassive. "Lucas, you're quite rude."Lucas opened the car door, a chilling aura surrounding him, and walked up to Russell. "Where's Aveline?" he demanded coldly.Russell replied, "I have no idea."Lucas' expression darkened, and he started towards the mansion. But Russell extended his arm to block him.A mocking smile appeared on Russell's face as he looked at Lucas. "Mr. Tudor, first you damage my gate, and now you want to trespass. What exactly are you planning to do?"Lucas' cold gaze fixed on Russ

    Aveline struggled with all her might, but his grip was too strong as if he intended to crush her wrist. The pain made her face turn pale. In desperation, she bent down and bit his arm hard.Lucas' movements halted, but he didn't let go, simply watching her bite him. The taste of blood filled her mouth, and Aveline, out of breath, looked at him with reddened eyes. "Lucas, what madness are you on about? I don't want to see you. Let me go!""Have you forgotten your place, Aveline?" Lucas tightened his grip, pulling her closer and grabbing her by the neck, his eyes flashing with cold fury. "I told you, I won't agree to a divorce. You will remain mine forever. Moving into another man's house before our divorce is finalized? Are you asking for trouble?"Aveline struggled with all her strength but having just recovered from a fever and not eaten, she had little energy left. Her face turned red with frustration."Lucas, I am not your prisoner! We may not be divorced yet, but you have no right

    Lucas' cold, mocking laughter echoed in her ears as he gripped her chin, forcing her to look into his eyes. "So, concerned about him? How about I just kill him, and you can cry your heart out once and for all?"Aveline trembled with anger. "Lucas, I already said I'd go with you. What more do you want?"Lucas' voice was chilling. "Seeing you cry for him infuriates me. What should I do about that, hmm?"Aveline closed her eyes, forcing herself to calm down."That's better," Lucas said with a satisfied smirk. Seeing her stop crying, he pulled her into his arms and left the mansion.Russell watched them leave, his eyes bloodshot and his jaw clenched tightly. Soon after, the ambulance arrived, and the butler helped him onto it. Just as they got on, the butler received a phone call, his face turning grim."Mr. Russell, the people from the main house somehow got wind of this and have snatched the investor you've been dealing with."Despite the pain, Russell sneered. "They move fast."The b

    Slap!Lucas struck her on the backside, his voice cold. "Behave yourself!"Aveline was both ashamed and furious, her eyes filled with hatred for him.Once inside the villa, Lucas placed her in a bedroom on the second floor. Seeing the emotions in her eyes, his gaze remained icy."Aveline, I was too lenient with you before, which gave you the courage to scheme against me. This time, you'll stay here until you realize your mistake and give up on the idea of divorce. Then I'll let you go."Aveline's eyes widened in shock. "You intend to imprison me?"Lucas looked at her pale, frail form and said coldly, "Think of it that way if you want, but you brought this on yourself!"With that, he turned to leave.Panicked, Aveline got off the bed. "No, you can't do this! I have no idea what you're talking about!"She tried to run out, but Lucas grabbed her back."Aveline, my patience has limits. Don't test me!" Lucas glared at her, the thought of her sending Sophia to him filled him with rage, makin

    Lucas sat in the car, a cigarette in hand. Smoke swirled around him, obscuring the cold emotions in his eyes.Thinking back on how he had been emotionally moved by her recently, he now felt only contempt.In her heart, there was no place for him. She even tried to send another woman to his bed. How could she be so despicable?Taking a deep drag on his cigarette, Lucas pulled out his phone and dialed a number. "Where are you?"Aaron's voice sounded tired. "In Stonefall City. What's up?""Why did you go so far?"Aaron replied, "I'm here to keep an eye on Selena for you. What's going on over there?""You don't need to watch over her anymore. I've decided not to let go.""Huh?" Aaron was surprised. "Aveline looks like she wants a divorce from you. Aren't you afraid she'll hate you if you don't let her go?"Lucas let out a cold laugh. "She crossed me. Do you think I'll let her get what she wants?"Feeling curious, Aaron eagerly asked, "What happened? Tell me so I can enjoy some gossip.""

    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

    "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
