"Aveline, my people took Selena, but I don't know where she is now. I'm sending someone to find her." He explained that his men had indeed taken Selena and that there was a traitor among his subordinates. They still needed to find out who had ordered Selena's abduction, but for now, he needed to clarify things with her."I only found out about this when you told me," Lucas said in a deep voice.Aveline's eyelashes fluttered, and her fingers curled slightly. She asked softly, "How could your people take Selena without you knowing?"She felt he was lying to her. He knew that Selena was her weakness. As long as he had Selena, he could make her do anything he wanted.Lucas' expression darkened as he walked directly in front of her. "So, you don't believe me?"Aveline didn't respond, which was as good as admitting it.Lucas grew increasingly agitated, his expression becoming even more grim. "Aveline, this has nothing to do with me," he said coldly.Aveline said, "Then find her quickly,

Selena's struggles gradually weakened as despair began to creep into her heart. The next moment, she felt a tight grip on her arm, and she was pulled into an embrace that carried a hint of coldness."We'll keep you tied up for now. Even if we untie you, nothing good would come out of your mouth," came a lazy male voice from above.Aaron held her and placed her into another car. He carefully untied the ropes around her wrists while dialing Lucas' number."Lucas, I've found her. Yes, I also caught those men. I'll have someone send them over to you for questioning.""Got it," came Lucas' cold and indifferent voice over the phone.Selena, though still groggy, paused for a moment upon hearing this. Lucas wasn't the one who ordered her abduction?Then why did those bodyguards say it was on Lucas’ orders?Rip...Just then, the tape over her mouth was suddenly torn off, the pain jolting her awake.She sucked in a sharp breath, her face pale from the pain.Aaron looked at her and chuckled light

The car sped along the highway as the sky gradually darkened. Selena's hands and feet were once again bound, and she was thrown onto the back seat.Aaron's expression was far from pleasant; he was in a terrible mood. How did he end up in such a mess? What if this woman died on his watch? He certainly didn't want to go to jail!They arrived at the nearest villa, and Aaron carried Selena inside. The butler, upon seeing this scene, was utterly shocked."Mr. Aaron, w-we can't do anything illegal! If Mrs. Fletchers finds out about this, she'll faint!" The butler followed Aaron, trembling and pleading earnestly.It didn't look good at all. The girl was tied up, her cheeks flushed, eyes hazy, and mumbling incoherently, clearly against her will.The butler had watched Aaron grow up. As a child, Aaron had been adorable, but he had become quite reckless as he grew older. Still, he had never done anything immoral like this, and it couldn't start now!Aaron glanced at the butler strangely. "Do you

Lucas and Aveline arrived within an hour.Aveline rushed upstairs, finding Selena still sitting in the bathtub, submerged in cold water, looking utterly miserable."Selena?"Aveline's fingers trembled as she touched Selena's face.Selena lifted her eyelids to look at her and forced a smile that was more pitiful than crying, "Ave, I almost died. I want to kill those bastards!"Aveline grabbed a nearby towel and wrapped it around her. "Can you walk?"Selena nodded. "The drug's effects have worn off."A cold, steely glint appeared in Aveline's eyes as she helped Selena out of the bathroom.The butler had already placed a set of women's clothes on the cabinet.Aveline walked over, picked up the clothes, and handed them to Selena. "Change your clothes. We're going to get revenge."Hearing this, Selena perked up immediately, hurriedly drying herself off and changing into the clothes."Damn, these are huge!"Selena looked at the baggy clothes, a simple tracksuit that made her look like a chil

In the car, Lucas glanced at Aveline, noticing her still sour mood. "What now? Even though I wasn't the one who had Selena taken, you're still upset with me?"Aveline looked up at him. "Don't you think Selena has a point?"Lucas' thin lips curled into a mocking smile. "In your eyes, everything she says is always right, isn't it?"Aveline fell silent; it was true. Selena had always looked out for her from the start.Lucas pulled a cigarette from his pocket, lit it, and half-closed his eyes. "Don't even think about divorce. I'll have Brian protect you in secret, and I'll assign a few bodyguards to you as well."Aveline said, "That's quite a bit of trouble. It must cost a lot of money."Lucas glanced at her. "I have money."Aveline chuckled lightly. The smell of smoke suddenly irritated her, and she reached out, grabbed his cigarette, and tossed it out the window.His fingers were left empty.Lucas looked at her in surprise.This was the first time she had taken his cigarette away.His ga

“Holy crap...” Selena exclaimed as she saw the scene, her face turning a bit pale.Aaron stood nearby and scoffed. "Afraid?"Behind them, Lucas covered Aveline's eyes with his hand, pressing his chest against her back and speaking in a low voice, "Don't look."Aveline, however, pushed his hand away, calmly glanced at the three men, and then looked at Selena. "Are you okay?"Selena replied, "I’m... I’m okay. I can still walk..."Aveline fell silent.She helped her up. "Let's get out of here first. They won't let these men get away with it."Selena nodded, her voice trembling, "Okay... okay."Aveline supported Selena as they left, while Lucas watched them go.Aaron remarked, "Didn't expect her to have such guts."Lucas responded, "If she didn't, I wouldn't be here."After all, no timid person would pick up a man from the roadside and take him home.Aaron understood what he meant and chuckled softly. "Considering she saved your life, haven't you thought about making things work between yo

Aveline nodded. "Okay."She then turned to Selena. "Come with me.""No way.”"Absolutely not."Two voices spoke at the same time. One was Selena's, who shot a look of disdain at Lucas. "There's no way I'm staying under the same roof as him. I'd be tempted to stab him in his sleep, and I don't want to go to jail."Aveline was speechless.Lucas' face hardened. "Just throw her in the basement and let her sleep with those guys for a night.""You bastard..." Selena nearly exploded.Aveline quickly intervened, "Let's take you home first."At that moment, Aaron's voice chimed in, "I'll take her."Selena looked at him suspiciously, "Is there any hidden motive behind your kind offer?"Aaron laughed in exasperation. "I saved your life, didn't I? What do you think?"Selena muttered something under her breath, but no one caught it.Aveline thought for a moment and said, "I'll take her. I’ll feel better knowing she got home safely."Aaron replied, "I brought her back safely. What more reassurance d

Lucas' hot breath fell on Aveline's shoulder, his lips trailing kisses across her soft skin. Her earlobes, tender and sensitive, trembled under his onslaught."Lucas, I don't want to..." Aveline's voice was hoarse.Even though her body responded to him, her heart resisted. To her, intimacy was only beautiful when their hearts were in sync. But between her and Lucas, there was a chasm that made touching him feel like touching a porcupine—painful.Lucas' breath was hot, his eyes focused intently on her. "Aveline, are you planning to tease me and then leave me wanting?"Aveline closed her eyes, her lashes trembling. "Give me some time."Lucas scoffed, flipping her over so she lay beneath him. "How much time do you need, hmm? Don't forget, we're married. As my wife, it's your duty to satisfy me!"Those words felt painfully familiar. Aveline's face paled, remembering she had once said the same to him. Now, it was her turn to hear them.Lucas, frustrated, kissed her fiercely. The intensity m

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
