He previously stole food from Russell at the hospital and now came here to compete with her for more!

Was this man so deprived of food?

Tensions simmered at the dining table.

When it came to the last piece of rib, Aveline quickly reached out, but Lucas was faster, grabbing it before she could.

He raised an eyebrow at her.

"You can eat it, I've poisoned it," Aveline said.

Lucas stared at her and began eating the rib, showing no fear at all.

Aveline pressed her lips together, remembering how he had suspected her when he was poisoned by her cooking before.

Yet now, even when she outright claimed to have poisoned it, he ate without hesitation.

Was he certain she hadn't poisoned it, or did he simply not fear death?

Suddenly, Aveline asked, "Lucas, if I really poisoned it, aren't you afraid of dying?"

Lucas replied, "Before I die, I'll make sure to kill you first. We can be companions on the road to the afterlife."

Aveline rose expressionlessly and walked away.

Lucas watched her until she

    Lucas looked at his empty hand and suddenly asked, "Why did you let go?""What?" Aveline thought she misheard him."Holding hands," Lucas clarified.Aveline was speechless! She said, "You're the heir of the Tudor family, the president of DK Group. Can you stop doing such childish things?"Lucas finally focused on her face. His dark eyes and cold, handsome face made it impossible to guess what he was thinking.Aveline frowned, unwilling to guess, and turned to leave. She didn’t have to stay at the hospital; Russell could eat on his own."Come with me to a place," Lucas suddenly said.Aveline refused without hesitation. "No."Lucas stared at her intensely. "If you don't go, I'll come find you tonight."Aveline stopped in her tracks, glaring at him. "Where?"Lucas' lips curved into a slight smile as he walked toward a car parked by the roadside.Aveline watched his tall, straight back, wishing her gaze could bore holes into it.Once in the car, Aveline sat as far from him as possible, p

    Just as Aveline was about to give up, Lucas suddenly averted his gaze and walked towards Bluewater Bay Villa."Follow me," he commanded coldly without looking back. He wasn't worried about her running away. She had no power or influence and couldn't escape his grasp.Aveline clenched her fists and had no choice but to follow. However, instead of entering the beautiful villa, Lucas walked towards the garden.Suspicion flashed in Aveline's eyes. Why were they going this way? What was he planning?Her questions were quickly answered.At the far end of the garden stood a two-story building, guarded by several bodyguards at the entrance."Mr. Tudor," they greeted respectfully upon seeing Lucas."Open the door," he ordered coldly.One of the bodyguards took out a key and opened the door. Aveline, standing a bit farther away, frowned as she peered inside. The small building was pitch dark, but she could see someone sitting on a chair.The sudden light made the person inside raise a hand t

    Lucas noticed her gaze and suddenly looked over at her. "What are you looking at me like that?"Aveline's eyelashes fluttered.Sophia also saw her at that moment and suddenly said, "Aveline, you see it now, don't you? You should never have saved him! I lost a leg for him, and now he treats me like this. You took him in and even married him, but how does he treat you? He doesn't deserve your love at all!"Aveline frowned. Was Sophia out of her mind? Saying such things in front of Lucas, wasn't she afraid he'd kill her on the spot?As expected, Lucas' face darkened, his eyes filled with murderous intent as he glanced at Sophia's prosthetic leg. "One prosthetic leg is quite an eyesore. How about I replace your other leg with a fake one too?"Sophia looked at him in disbelief. "You... Lucas, are you insane? How dare you treat me like this!"A surge of anger flickered in Lucas's eyes, but he suppressed it with great effort. "If both your legs are useless, I'll make sure you're taken care of

    Aveline met his eyes with a calm gaze, but her tone had a hint of coldness. "Lucas, the real issue is that you don't trust me."Lucas' brows furrowed tightly.Aveline spoke gently, "I could reveal the truth to you this time. But what if someone frames me again and I can't prove my innocence? Will you just assume I'm guilty?"Lucas pressed his lips into a straight line. He really couldn't guarantee he would believe her.He closed his eyes, and suddenly, certain images flashed in his mind—a woman holding a toy to amuse him, he happily took it, but the moment he held it, it exploded. His hand was left bloodied and torn...Such incidents had happened countless times.Aveline said, "So, to avoid such misunderstandings, how about we get a divorce?"If they divorced, anything that happened to him would have nothing to do with her. She wouldn't have to feel hurt and sad over his actions anymore.Lucas stared at her coldly. "After all that talk, your goal is divorce. Aveline, you can forget abo

    Lucas slid into the driver’s seat, started the car, and sped away like a bolt of lightning. Aveline's eyelashes fluttered as she saw the luxury car zoom past her. Aveline thought Lucas must be crazy to drive so fast in the city.When she got home and stepped out of the car, she walked a short distance before hearing a voice behind her."Miss, wait a moment!"Aveline turned around, puzzled, and saw the ride-hailing driver approaching with something in his hand. He was tall and wore a mask that covered the lower half of his face. However, Aveline could tell he was smiling through his eyes."Miss, is this yours?" he asked.Aveline looked and saw it was her keychain. Indeed, it was hers."Thank you," Aveline said as she took the keychain from him.The driver waved it off. "No problem. Just leave a five-star rating.""Sure." Aveline nodded, then turned and went inside.After all the fuss, she wasn’t hungry anymore. She pulled out her phone and saw a message from Russell.“The breakfast wa

    "Alright," Selena agreed without hesitation."You should get your dressing changed. If you feel uncomfortable there, come back, and I'll take care of you. I'll cook delicious meals for you every day," Aveline said.Selena laughed. "You're making my mouth water already. I'll come back as soon as I can. Wait for me!""Okay."After hanging up, Aveline was still worried. Selena had been with Aaron recently. Did he know she was hurt? However, she didn't have Aaron's number. After some thought, she dialed Lucas' number.In the cool-toned office, the atmosphere was tense. When Aaron walked in, he saw Lucas' sour expression, as if someone owed him millions of dollars."What's wrong with you? Feeling frustrated again?" Aaron pulled out a chair and sat across from him, unceremoniously asking.Lucas tossed a document at him. "Take a look yourself."Aaron picked it up and saw that a project DK Group had been working on was snatched away by the Tudor family. Frederick stole a project from his own

    Aaron said, "I don't remember."Aveline's confusion deepened, though she struggled to identify its source."Alright, I understand," she replied, then promptly hung up.Aaron looked at his phone, handed it back to Lucas, and sneered. "She didn't mention you at all."Lucas' expression grew darker. "Do you have nothing better to do?"Aaron nodded. "Indeed."Lucas narrowed his eyes dangerously, a chilling aura directed at Aaron as if he wanted to kill him.Aaron stood up and said, "Your wife didn't mention you. Why are you glaring at me? If you have the guts, go settle it with her.”With that, he turned and left.Lucas leaned back, tugging at his tie in frustration. She called just to talk to Aaron? When did she start seeking Aaron for help? It seemed he couldn't let Aaron stay idle. Nor could he let Aveline stay too free.He took out his phone and made a call, "I'll give you some money. Register a company and hire Aveline."The voice on the other end was lazy. "Boss, I'm on vacation..

    Maria handed her a cup of tea. "Tea is better; coffee is so bitter."Aveline accepted it. "Thank you."Maria continued, "Let's go inside first. There are two spots in this building that the agent said are great, but I couldn't tell for sure. I thought you could help me decide."Aveline replied, "I might not be an expert in this either. By the way, what kind of studio are you planning to open?""A studio for architectural design," Maria said.Aveline's eyes flickered at the mention. She was an architectural designer herself.Maria seemed to recall something and looked at her. "I checked your profile. Aren't you an architectural designer? Where are you working now?""I’m not working at the moment," Aveline said.Maria's eyes lit up. "Would you consider joining my studio? I can offer better pay than your previous job, flexible hours, and I won't interfere with your ideas. Think about it?"Aveline didn't expect the invitation and smiled, politely declining, "Thank you, but I’m not looking

    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

    "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
