"Which man?" Aveline asked, momentarily confused.Lucas' gaze remained cold, the room's temperature seemingly dropping. The bed was a mess, still bearing the remnants of their intimacy, yet the chill pervaded Aveline's body."I was drunk last night, I don't know what happened," Aveline said.Lucas sneered. "You know you can't handle alcohol, and yet you dared to drink alone?"The reproach in his voice was clear as if she had done something wrong.Feeling wronged, Aveline retorted, "Lucas, did you investigate the situation? Do you know why I was drinking? On what grounds are you blaming me?"At that moment, her defensive spikes rose.The tension in the bedroom became palpable.Then, a phone rang, breaking the silence. It was Lucas' phone.He walked over and answered, "Speak."Desmond, sensing the tension, spoke cautiously, "Mr. Tudor, I found out what happened. The project manager from Horizon Realty, Xander Wilbur, asked Mrs. Tudor to revise the blueprints and then wouldn't let her lea

Lucas remained silent, his expression dark.The butler approached Aveline to greet her. She smiled warmly in return and then left.The butler glanced at Lucas and saw his face looking particularly grim, the atmosphere around him heavy, making the dining room feel a few degrees colder.The butler, initially intending to greet him, wisely kept silent upon seeing his expression....When Aveline arrived at the studio, she saw that indeed, a dozen people were blocking the entrance, their faces filled with worry and gloom.Leading them was Xander.Upon seeing Aveline, Xander immediately rushed over, his face full of remorse. "Miss Young, I'm truly sorry. I drank too much last night and behaved terribly. I apologize. Please, can you forgive me and forget about what happened?"The others followed, their eyes pleading as they looked at Aveline.Aveline's expression remained indifferent. "Last night, you didn't seem so apologetic, Mr. Wilbur."Xander slapped himself. "I was really out of my min

Xander's face turned sour. "What are you all arguing about? We need to find a solution now."Everyone fell silent, though their gazes held a bit more resentment toward him.At that moment, a figure appeared in the distance."Mr, Wilbur?"Sophia walked over, her face wearing a gentle smile.Xander's expression brightened upon seeing her. "Miss Winter, what brings you here?"Sophia smiled back. "I came to visit a friend. What's going on here?"Xander sighed and explained the situation briefly. "I was just joking with Miss Young, but she took it seriously and now DK Group is blacklisting us. We have families to support. If we're blacklisted and lose our jobs, how will we survive?"Sophia's eyes flashed, and she said, "If you trust me, I can speak to Lucas at DK Group on your behalf."Xander's face lit up with hope. "You know Mr. Tudor?"Sophia nodded. "Yes, Lucas and I are friends."Calling Lucas by his first name, she conveyed a natural intimacy.Xander looked at Sophia with gratitude. "

Xander and his group looked anxiously at Lucas."Mr. Tudor, we won't dare do it again.""Mr. Tudor, please give us another chance."The group cowered like mice before a cat, all lowering their heads in submission.Sophia smiled gently, keeping her gaze fixed on Lucas.Lucas' expression was stern, his presence exuding a cold and dignified aura. He glanced at the group and asked, "Who are you?"Xander and his group exchanged glances.Desmond spoke up quietly, "Mr. Tudor, these are the people who troubled Mrs. Tudor last night."His voice was low, heard only by Sophia standing beside him.A flicker of coldness appeared in Sophia's eyes.Mrs. Tudor...So, they hadn't divorced yet?How infuriating.Lucas, standing tall, his cold eyes swept over the group. "When you were troubling others, did you think about your families?"Xander and his group's faces froze.They all turned to look at Sophia.Sophia's smile faltered slightly. She had tried to leverage Lucas' concern for Leo, but he remained

The man originally thought Aveline and Lucas had an unclear relationship. Now, hearing Sophia's words, he gripped Aveline even tighter."Lucas, if you push me to the edge, I'll make sure you lose your wife! I have nothing to lose, so taking someone down with me isn't a loss!"His eyes were bloodshot, clearly desperate.Aveline glanced at Sophia.Was this woman doing it on purpose?Revealing her relationship with Lucas to provoke the man into harming her!The wound on her neck stung with a sharp pain.Aveline frowned and said, "I won't pursue what happened last night, and Lucas won't blacklist you. You don't have to do this.""I don't believe you!" the man shouted hysterically, the knife making more shallow cuts on Aveline's neck.Lucas' face was extremely grim. "Let her go. I will agree to whatever you want."The man looked at Lucas. "Are you serious?"Lucas replied, "With so many witnesses here, I won't deceive you."The man, agitated, started to say, "I want..."Seeing this, Sophia's

Aveline glanced at Lucas.His expression remained cold as if he hadn't heard Frederick's words.Lucas was the only heir of the Tudor family, yet he received such treatment?The lights in the emergency room soon went out, and the doctor came out. Yvonne stepped forward and asked, "How is the patient inside?"The doctor replied, "She was brought in promptly. The knife has been removed, and no internal organs were damaged."Yvonne sighed in relief, then turned to Frederick. "Don't worry, Sophia is fine."Frederick nodded, then glanced at Lucas and said, "Come here."Lucas' expression remained indifferent, and he didn't move.He turned to Aveline and asked softly, "Are you tired?"The atmosphere was tense.Aveline sensed the underlying chill. She looked at Frederick's dark expression, then at Lucas's nonchalant demeanor, feeling uneasy.Was she supposed to be tired?Lucas then looked at Frederick and said, "She’s been through a lot. I'll take her home to rest first."With that, he took Ave

Aveline's expression froze, and she quietly looked at him, saying calmly, "Would you cry if I said no?""Heh..."Lucas laughed, the fog in his eyes clearing a bit.After laughing for a moment, he suddenly leaned in, gripping her nape and kissing her forcefully.His breath was cool yet burning, dominantly claiming her air.Aveline was caught off guard, struggling slightly.But he didn't force her, letting her go just as quickly.His nose touched hers, their breaths heavy and entwined."Aveline, I won't divorce you," he said softly.Aveline's eyelashes fluttered. "Aren't you afraid your father will take back all your rights?"Lucas chuckled, this time with a touch of mockery. "If he could, he wouldn't just talk about it."Aveline understood, but a chill settled in her heart.It seemed Lucas's power extended beyond DK Group, and he didn't even regard the Tudor family's company highly.So, her hopes of divorcing him seemed even more distant.Seeing her deep in thought, Lucas moved back sli

In the hospital room, Lucas walked in to see Sophia lying on the bed, her face pale.Frederick and Yvonne were sitting beside her, talking.Yvonne saw Lucas and said, "Lucas, you're here."Sophia looked at Lucas with hopeful eyes, searching his face for any sign of concern.But there was none.Lucas' expression was cold and detached.He pulled a chair over and sat down, crossing his long legs. "Where is it?"Sophia's face was ashen. "Lucas, don't you care about me at all?"Lucas repeated, "Where is it?" His tone grew even colder.Sophia could hear the impatience in his voice, knowing that if she didn't give him what he wanted, he would definitely turn hostile."I've already had someone bring it over," she said weakly.Frederick's face was stern. "Sophia is already in this condition, and you can't even show a bit of concern?"Lucas let out a cold laugh. "Don't you all find this embarrassing?"Sophia's face turned even paler.Frederick felt a surge of anger, wanting to throttle him.But

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
