After the CEO Divorced Me, He Wants Me Back Chapter 38
Aveline hung up the phone and turned to Lucas. "I need to go back to the office."Lucas's expression was cold. "No, we’ll file for divorce first."Aveline felt a pang in her chest but responded, "I can divorce you anytime, but I can't lose my job. You know I rely on this job to make a living."Lucas' dark eyes stared at her for a long moment before he finally said, "Go to the office."The driver immediately changed direction.As soon as they got out of the car, Aveline hurried towards the elevator. She got in just as it arrived and pressed the close button without waiting for Lucas. But just before the doors closed, a hand reached in, triggering the sensors to reopen the doors.Aveline sighed. Couldn't he have taken the other elevator?Lucas's tall figure entered, making the elevator feel even smaller. Aveline stood in the corner, opening the project files on her phone to review all the details and ensure she was prepared to discuss them with her manager.When the elevator doors opened

Aveline texted, “Selena, can you find out Brighton Enterprises' CEO's schedule?”Selena replied, “I'll try!”Aveline turned off her phone and waited quietly.In the CEO's office, Desmond explained the situation to Lucas and then asked, "Mr. Tudor, should we arrange a meeting with Brighton Enterprises?"Lucas replied, "No need."Desmond was taken aback. "But if this isn't handled well, Miss Young might lose her job."Since the incident happened under her watch, if she couldn't manage it and find the leaker, she would take the fall. Getting fired would be the least of her worries. If rumors spread that she leaked company secrets, she wouldn't be able to work in the industry anymore.Lucas looked at the documents on his desk, his expression calm and distant. "She can handle it."His tone was confident as if he knew her very well. And he did. With her personality, she wouldn't take the blame quietly.Desmond looked at him, feeling conflicted. They were about to divorce, yet Lucas still s

Russell looked at her in surprise., thinking she was completely different from how she acted at the bar that night, drinking like crazy and unstoppable."It's fine," Russell said, glancing at his clothes before adding, "Was this also an accident?"Aveline felt even more embarrassed. "This really was an accident. How about you give me your jacket, and I'll clean it for you?"Russell chuckled. "Here? Now?"Aveline frowned. "I'm Aveline Young from DK Group's Cloudflare City branch. You can send the jacket to my office, and I'll have it cleaned and returned to you."Her sense of boundaries and distance was well executed."Aveline..." Russell silently repeated her name, then said, "Alright, I'll remember you."With that, he turned and walked away.Aveline sighed in relief. Thankfully, he didn't pursue the matter. She really didn't want any more trouble.On the second floor, near the railing, Sophia watched below with a look of surprise. Aveline was here too? How did she get in? Seeing th

When the servers saw that Aveline still hadn't shown them an invitation, they stepped forward to drag her away. Just then, someone approached and pulled Aveline behind him."Mr. Skyler." the servers immediately became respectful upon seeing the newcomer.Russell looked at them coolly. "What were you planning to do to my guest, hmm?"The servers were horrified. "I'm sorry, Mr. Skyler. We didn't know this lady was with you."Russell's tone turned icy. "Get out of my sight, and don't let me see you on this yacht again!"The two servers hurried away, silently cursing whoever told them there was an uninvited guest. They had gotten scolded for nothing!Russell turned to see Aveline looking a bit dazed. He smiled. "What a coincidence, we meet again."Aveline thought to herself that on a yacht this size, it wasn't that surprising to run into someone again. But he had just helped her out, so she smiled slightly. "Thank you."Russell's charmingly mischievous face lit up with a teasing smile. Des

Lucas' dark eyes stared intently at their backs, a chilling aura growing around him, making others afraid to approach."Lucas."Sophia walked over, her face filled with concern as she looked at him. "Are you alright?"She frowned. "What does Miss Young mean by this? Although you’re about to divorce, she is still your wife. How could she show you no respect at all? Walking away with Mr. Skyler, it's outrageous."Lucas withdrew his gaze indifferently and said calmly, "I have something to attend to, I'll be leaving first."Without looking at Sophia's expression, he turned and walked away in another direction.Sophia's expression froze slightly.She felt a sense of crisis.Aveline clearly had a special place in Lucas's heart.How could this be?She had worked so hard to get where she was today, even losing a leg in the process. She absolutely couldn't let anyone take her place!……On the other side, Aveline looked at Russell. "Mr. Skyler, I'll treat you to a meal another day, but I have so

Aveline wasn’t concerned about when Lucas was there to give her the coat; she immediately ran towards Henry."Mr. Brighton, I'm sorry, just give me one minute. After that, you can decide if you want to hear more."Henry looked at the girl standing in front of him, feeling she seemed familiar. Seeing her face pale from the cold, he finally stopped."Alright, one minute."However, he wasn't overly kind, so he lifted his wristwatch and started timing.Aveline took a deep breath and began explaining her ideas and thoughts.Time passed slowly...At some point, Henry stopped checking his watch and watched Aveline with interest instead.When she finally stopped, she smiled apologetically. "Sorry, I got a bit carried away and went over time..."Ten minutes had passed. She had only covered the key points; explaining the entire plan and concept would take a whole morning.Henry nodded approvingly. "Your ideas are indeed impressive."Aveline bowed to him. "Thank you for giving me this opportunity

Everyone was stunned and turned to see Aveline walk in. Her face was pale, but her eyes were cold as she looked around the room. "It's one thing to badmouth me behind my back when I can't hear, but if I catch you, shouldn't you apologize?"She made a point of looking at the people who had just insulted her.Their eyes darted around nervously, and a male colleague stood up and said, "Why should we apologize to you? The project information you were responsible for leaked, and no one else touched your desk. We have every reason to suspect it was you!"Aveline looked at him coldly. "So, you admit it's just a suspicion, not concrete evidence, right?"The male colleague stammered, looking embarrassed.Aveline continued, "No apology? You’ve got no shame!”Her words provoked them immediately."Miss Young, you made a mistake. Why should we apologize?""Exactly, we didn't do anything wrong!""Since you said it wasn't you, then show us that you took care of the matter.""Smack!"Aveline slammed t

"Ha, how surprising." Aveline scoffed, her gaze fixed on William’s face.Everyone turned to look at William, their faces full of disbelief."How could it be you?""Why did you do this?""This project is so important to us. Why did you leak the information?"William was speechless.First, there was disbelief, then an uncontrollable anger. The crowd surrounded William, demanding an explanation.William hadn't expected what he did to be exposed so easily. At that moment, he was speechless.Indeed, with the evidence right there, what else could he say?Outside.Lucas stood tall by the glass, his eyes fixed on Aveline. Seeing her pale face, his brows furrowed.Desmond, standing nearby, said, "I didn't expect her to have a camera at her workstation."Lucas's lips pressed into a line as he turned to leave.Suddenly, Desmond exclaimed, "Miss Young has fainted!"Aveline, having resolved a major issue, felt the tension in her body suddenly release. As she relaxed, waves of coldness swept over he

Aveline said, "Braden is probably not interested."“Huh? Why?” Selena asked, confusion spreading across her face.Aveline explained, “Baron, Braden, and Maria all have a special bond with Lucas. No matter what, they wouldn’t betray him.”She paused for a moment, her thoughts drifting to Brian, the man who had always seen it as his duty to protect Lucas. She wondered how he was faring now.Selena shrugged. “Alright, I suppose. He’s helped me a lot recently, and if it weren’t for him, I wouldn’t have handled everything so smoothly.”Aveline replied, “It’s all over now. Taking him with you wouldn’t really serve any purpose.”“True,” Selena agreed, nodding as she let go of the subject.She ended up staying in Larbor City for a month. One night, Aveline suddenly went into labor. The family rushed to action—though there was some initial chaos, they quickly regained control. Drivers got the car ready, calls to the hospital were made, and everything unfolded smoothly.At the hospital, Lucas h

To mitigate the impact of the incident, the Fletcher family arranged a marriage with the Skyler family, setting the wedding date for just one month later, a rather hasty decision. Aaron officially became the head of the Fletcher family, and despite any grievances Nathalie might have had, she didn’t dare voice them, keeping her frustration to herself.Selena, on the other hand, finally had some leisure time. With Aaron busier than ever, she felt bored and decided to visit Aveline in Larbor City.Aveline’s belly had grown quite large, and with just a month left until her due date, her feet had started swelling, looking puffy and rounded like little pillows. Seeing her condition, Selena couldn't help but remark, "Pregnancy looks so tough. I'm starting to get a little scared."Aveline glanced at her. "Are you planning to get pregnant?"As far as she remembered, Selena had never mentioned such plans.Selena nodded, then shared the idea she had previously about arranging a marriage between

Aaron held her hand and led her directly out of the room upstairs.Meanwhile, inside the room, Nathalie had someone forcibly separate the two entangled people. Ernest looked utterly disheveled, still trying to grab onto Lila and continue.Lila, now slightly regaining her senses, realized the situation. She let out a piercing scream, wrapped herself in the blanket, and cried out in distress."How could this happen? Why did it turn out like this? Why am I here? Mom, wasn't that bitch Selena supposed to be in this room? Why is it me? Why me!"The sensation in her body was undeniable, and seeing Ernest in his dazed state, she could already imagine how wild things had been between them. Worse yet, many people had witnessed it!This scene was supposed to fall on Selena!What went wrong?Nathalie hugged her, trying to calm her down, "Don’t get worked up, Lila. You can’t afford to get upset right now. It’s okay, mom’s here with you. I’ll take care of this."But Lila was inconsolable, sobbing u

The servant stood frozen in shock, unable to comprehend what had just unfolded. How... how could this have happened? How did Lila end up in the room instead of Selena?She distinctly remembered helping Selena into that very room and watching as the family doctor applied the patch to her ankle. The patch, once applied for more than a minute, should have released the drug into Selena's system, gradually taking effect. But now everything had gone terribly wrong.Pale and trembling, the servant knew that her role in this failed scheme had been exposed. There would be no good outcome for her. She began to retreat, hoping to slip away unnoticed."Leaving so soon?"A lazy, magnetic voice suddenly spoke from behind her.Startled, she spun around to see Aaron standing in the doorway. His tall, imposing figure blocked the exit, preventing anyone from leaving easily."I... I..." The servant stammered, unable to form a coherent sentence, trapped in her fear.Aaron’s expression remained neutral, b

"Such a big issue has to be cleared up, don’t you think, Aaron? What if someone is deliberately trying to smear your wife’s name?" "Exactly! We’ve all met your wife—she’s beautiful and sharp. There’s no way she’d do anything to betray you.""We need to open the door and clear up any misunderstandings before things get out of hand."The crowd voiced their concerns, their words filled with feigned sympathy, but their eyes gleamed with anticipation.Kendrick arrived just behind Aaron, and upon hearing the whispers, his expression darkened."Who said this?" The servant timidly raised her hand. "I... I did."His voice hardened. "Are you sure of what you saw?"Though visibly frightened, the servant nodded firmly. "I’m sure.""I don’t think she’s lying.”"Maybe it’s true. If it is, then she really couldn’t keep herself in check, especially at Lila’s birthday party. How shameless.""Unbelievable! With a husband like Aaron, she’s still not satisfied? I can’t understand women like that."A few

"What’s going on?" Nathalie’s brow furrowed as she took in the situation. She immediately called over the servant who had been with Selena earlier. "Is Selena in that room?"The servant nodded nervously. "Yes, I helped Mrs. Fletcher into the room."Nathalie’s expression hardened. "Then why won’t the door open?"The servant’s face turned pale, her eyes darting around anxiously. She stammered, "Madam, maybe it’s best not to disturb Mrs. Fletcher. She just needs to rest, and I’m sure she’ll come out soon.""Why are you acting so suspicious?" someone nearby asked. "And why weren’t you inside taking care of her?"Nathalie narrowed her eyes, scrutinizing the servant. Suddenly, her tone sharpened. "Why are you hiding something? Tell me what’s really going on!"The servant flinched under Nathalie’s gaze, her face paling even more. Trembling, she said, "Madam, I-I don’t know for sure. I was with Mrs. Fletcher, but then she asked me to leave… I didn’t go far, I was keeping an eye on things in

After speaking, the servant promptly left the suite, standing guard outside.Selena smirked, her eyes hardening with a cold glint.She stayed in the room for a while, eventually deciding to get up and leave. But as she stood, a wave of dizziness hit her out of nowhere.Frowning, Selena called out, "Come here!"The servant appeared but kept her distance. "Mrs. Fletcher, what do you need?""I don’t feel right. Go get the family doctor."The servant’s eyes flickered with something unreadable before she replied, "Of course, I’ll fetch him right away."She turned and hurried off.Selena sat at the edge of the bed, focusing on regaining her composure. She slowly made her way to the balcony, opened the doors, and breathed in the fresh air. Instantly, she felt better.That patch definitely had something off about it!"Miss Selena," a hushed voice called out.Startled, Selena turned to see Braden standing at the windowsill of the adjacent room, blending into the shadows of the night.Surprised,

Selena’s eyes fell on the pain patch, and she nodded. "Alright, go ahead."The family doctor applied the patch and gave her a few instructions before leaving.Leaning back into the sofa, Selena said, "You can leave now. I’ll rest for a bit."The servant, however, remained standing nearby. "Mrs. Fletcher, I’ll stay here just in case you need anything."Selena raised an eyebrow slightly.What was this about? Was someone sent to keep an eye on her? To stop her from leaving, perhaps?She couldn’t quite figure out the motive yet, but there was no rush. She’d adapt to the situation as needed."Fine, stay there then. Don’t go anywhere," Selena replied, before heading to the bed and lying down. She pulled out her phone and messaged Aaron.“Where are you? You missed quite a show earlier. You’d have regretted not seeing it!”Aaron replied, “Sounds like I did. Will you fill me in?”“You finally replied! Where have you been?”Aaron texted, “Stuck in a meeting with my dad at the office. Heading ba

At that moment, Nathalie spoke up as well, "It's just a dance, Selena. Don't disrespect Mr. Brooks."Her words implied that Selena was deliberately avoiding the dance.Ernest's expression had already soured.Selena glanced from one person to the next, her eyes reddening as tears welled up and began to fall."You’ve misunderstood me," she said softly, her voice trembling. "I didn’t mean it that way. Mr. Brooks and the Fletcher family have business dealings, and of course, I respect our partners. But my foot really is injured. It’s no big deal, though. “Even though tonight is Lila’s birthday party, and she should be the one dancing the opening dance, since Ernest invited me, I would still dance even if my leg was broken."She paused, looking fragile and innocent, before continuing with a hint of apology. "Mr. Brooks, I’m afraid my injured foot won’t keep up with your steps. I’m truly sorry."Playing the innocent card like a delicate girl? Selena could do that just as well. After all, wi
