After the CEO Divorced Me, He Wants Me Back Chapter 441
She was lost in thought, wondering when she could finalize the divorce as quickly as possible.Lucas approached her and extended his hand. Aveline was wearing an elegant black gown that accentuated her noble features. Her delicate facial features were beautifully highlighted, with a hint of innocence in her mesmerizing eyes. Her slender waist curved gracefully into her hips.Aveline placed her hand in his.Lucas gripped it tightly, his eyes swirling with intense emotion as he said in a deep voice, "Ave, you look stunning."Aveline smiled softly. "Thank you. Did you just realize that?"Lucas was at a loss for words. He felt somewhat helpless but wasn't angry. The tenderness in his eyes only grew stronger.Taking Aaron's advice, he had been treating her warmly. Though Aveline still resisted him, their interactions over the past couple days had been relatively pleasant. If things continued this way, perhaps their life together wouldn't be unbearable after all.The two left the Tudor ma

Lucas turned to look at her and noticed her cold expression. Her eyes were now filled with frost.If he told her to leave now, she would undoubtedly walk away without hesitation.Lucas' face darkened as he said quietly, "You don't need to care about what others think."Aveline looked at him and smiled, though it didn't reach her eyes. "Lucas, all of this that I'm enduring - it's because of you. You owe me compensation."Lucas was taken aback. "Have you become obsessed with money?"Aveline shrugged. "If I can't have love, can't I at least have money?"Hearing this, Lucas' expression grew even more unpleasant, his entire demeanor chilling several degrees.Aveline looked away and asked, "Where's Grandma?"Lucas also averted his gaze, his aura softening as he tried to calm himself. No longer wanting love? Was that something one could simply decide?Lucas led her upstairs.They arrived at an open door on the second floor. Inside, several people surrounded Barbara. Aaron was by her side, te

" So that's Lucas' wife. She's quite pretty!""She used her looks to cling onto Lucas. Rumor has it she saved him when he had amnesia, then married him. After Lucas regained his memories, she refused to divorce him.""Tsk, once she latched onto that money tree, how could she let go so easily?""Just watch, the Tudor family has been ensnared by this woman!"Whispers and murmurs arose from the crowd.The onlookers' gazes were either curious or contemptuous, with no hint of kindness.Aveline took it all in, lowering her eyes slightly with a polite smile on her face.After the lengthy congratulatory speeches ended, the banquet began.Barbara kept holding Aveline's hand, showing no interest in going to eat.Yvonne said, "Aveline, why don't you stay with Madam Barbara for a while? We need to go entertain the guests.""Alright," Aveline nodded.She was eager to leave such an uncomfortable situation anyway.She wheeled Barbara away from the courtyard and straight to the garden, where it was qu

The first person who had arrived pointed at Aveline, saying, "When I got here, I saw her standing next to Madam Barbara, who was crying continuously."All eyes turned to Aveline."She's the one who took Madam Barbara away. Did she mistreat her?""Madam Barbara seems to like her a lot. I doubt it.""What do you know? Women like her can deceive men and old ladies alike. Who knows what she did to Madam Barbara behind our backs."Frederick looked at Aveline with a dark expression. "What exactly happened?"Aveline took a deep breath and recounted the events, concluding with, "If you don't believe me, you can check the security footage."Frederick glanced at the butler, who immediately went to review the recordings.Five minutes later, the butler returned with a complicated expression. "Sir, the young madam took Madam Babara to a blind spot in the cameras. We couldn't capture what happened."Frederick's face darkened further. "Aveline, what did you do to Madam Barbara? How can you be so mali

Lucas responded coolly, "Alright."Though he acknowledged verbally, he didn't head upstairs. Instead, he took out his phone to call Aveline.While he knew she'd be more comfortable away from here, she should have at least informed him. Leaving without a word - did she not consider him at all?When he dialed, he heard a message saying the phone was switched off.Turned off?Lucas frowned.Seeing that he hadn't moved, the servant said, "Mr. Lucas, Mr. Frederick wants to discuss Mr. Leo’s matter with you. You should go quickly."Lucas' dark eyes grew cold, his intense pressure weighing on the servant, who lowered their head even further.He put away his phone.Recalling Aveline's extremely cold attitude towards him, a hint of mockery flashed in his eyes.Perhaps she had deliberately turned off her phone to avoid him!Feeling increasingly irritated, he walked towards the study with an icy expression.Without knocking, he entered, only to see Frederick sitting in his chair with a maid kneel

Frederick said in a deep voice, "I didn't discipline him well before, which is why he's become like this now. I can't let him continue like this. He's right; he's the only heir of the Tudor family now, and nothing can happen to him. I need to find him a wife who matches our status, someone who can give birth to an excellent heir."A hint of disgust flashed in his eyes. "Aveline's status is not suitable to be the Tudor family's daughter-in-law."Yvonne replied, "But I think Lucas really likes Aveline."Frederick said, "Women with low-status value unfounded feelings the most. As long as Aveline discovers Lucas's infidelity, she will definitely demand a divorce. He does like her a lot now, but if a woman becomes too troublesome and loses her original charm, will he still like her?"Frederick knew this well because that was how things ended between him and Lucas' mother.Yvonne listened, her eyes briefly revealing a cold glint, but she kept her expression neutral and said, "Shall we do it

Aveline walked directly down. The basement was even colder than above, and as she descended, the lights flickered on one by one. She stopped in front of a door with iron bars and frowned, "Who's in there?""Is... is that you, Aveline?" The man's voice came out weak and frail. Aveline could even smell a faint scent of blood.Aveline's expression grew tense, "Who's there?""It's Bobby."Aveline widened her eyes. "Bobby? Is it really you?"She grabbed the bars and peered inside desperately, but it was pitch dark; she couldn't see anything."It's me... Aveline, please save me. I'm being tortured to death. I don't want to die. Please help me, okay?"Bobby's voice was filled with pleading as if clinging to a lifeline."I..." Aveline wanted to say she would get him out, but then she remembered Bobby's own father had given up on him. As an outsider, did she have the right to intervene?Aveline asked, "Did you really steal from the Tudor family?""No, I didn't!" Bobby was extremely agitated.

Aveline pondered for a moment and said, "I'll get to the bottom of this. If you're innocent, I'll get you out."Bobby broke down in tears. "Aveline, thank you!"Aveline felt a pang of discomfort. If Bobby knew that Zane had given up on him for money, how would he react? At the same time, a chill ran through her. If someone had orchestrated all this, what was their motive? Why target a mere driver?Aveline returned upstairs, feeling somewhat warmer. She glanced towards the villa's garden and headed in that direction. She couldn't leave just yet. She needed to find Lucas and get some answers.The garden was still lively, and Aveline's sudden appearance stunned everyone. Their gazes quickly turned to shock and disdain. She looked disheveled, her dress dirty, her hair messy, and her face and arms covered in dust, as if she had crawled out of a dirt pit.A servant saw her and hurriedly stepped forward to stop her, "Who let you out? Go back inside!"Aveline pushed the servant aside, "I am th

“Got something on your mind, Dad?” Gavin asked, noticing Wilfried’s serious expression as he entered the room. His own demeanor softened a bit.Wilfried didn’t waste time, sitting down heavily on the sofa with a stern look. "What are you planning to do about what happened today?"Gavin froze for a moment, realizing that the whole situation had become an open secret within the family. His response was calm, though. "I don’t have any specific plans."At this, Wilfried’s expression darkened even further. "That won’t do. You’ve taken advantage of someone, so you need to take responsibility. I’ll have someone look into that girl’s background tomorrow, prepare the bride price, and we’ll go make the proposal immediately."Gavin blinked, his typically composed expression faltering slightly. After a brief silence, he replied, "Dad, I’m willing to take responsibility, but what if she doesn’t want to marry me?"Wilfried paused, momentarily caught off guard by this possibility. His gaze swept over

“Hmm, you’re right. I’ll talk to your brother and see what he thinks,” Wilfried said thoughtfully.Aveline nodded and went on her way....In the study, Gernard sat on the sofa, a mischievous grin plastered on his face. “Brother, why didn’t you let me finish? I was about to spill the best part.”Gavin ignored him and pulled out a document, handing it over. “Take a look at this. If everything’s in order, you’ll be leaving the day after tomorrow.”“What’s this?” Gernard blinked, taking the file and flipping it open. His eyes widened as he scanned the pages.He shot up from his seat, staring at Gavin in disbelief. “Wait, you’re serious? You’re actually sending me to South Africa? Do people live there? When did we even expand into that region?”Gavin, seated in his leather chair, remained cold and composed. “Recently.”Gernard’s face twisted in disbelief. After a long pause, he finally blurted out, “No way. I’m not going.”Gavin’s gaze flickered over to him, calm but stern. “You don’t hav

“What gossip?” Aveline's interest was instantly piqued, her eyes sparkling as she looked at Gernard.Gernard leaned in conspiratorially, about to spill the juicy details. “It’s about Brother. You won’t believe what happened today…”“Ahem!”Before he could finish, Gavin appeared, clearing his throat just loud enough to interrupt. He grabbed Gernard’s arm, pulling him away. “Let’s talk about the company,” he said, his tone leaving no room for argument.Gernard protested, “Brother, wait, I wasn’t finished!”Aveline, her curiosity fully ignited, took a couple of steps forward. “Hey bros, don’t leave me hanging! Finish the story first!”Without slowing down, Gavin replied, “He’s headed to South Africa soon. Work comes first.”“South Africa?” Gernard’s jaw dropped. “Wait, since when am I going to South Africa? I didn’t hear about this! What’s going on?”Aveline stopped in her tracks, equally puzzled. “South Africa? Does the Cooper family even have projects there?”Just then, Wilfried walked

"Got too much free time on your hands?" Gavin’s cold gaze fixed on Gernard.Unbothered, Gernard strolled over and patted his brother's shoulder, grinning. "So, what’s your plan now? I got a little bored and did some digging on the Quin family. Guess what? Turns out they’re Selena’s birth family. She left them ages ago to make it on her own, but the girl you were with? That’s Jolie Quin, the pampered princess of the family."With a knowing smirk, Gernard added, "Brother, I couldn’t help but notice—Jolie and Selena do look a bit alike. Could that be why you…?""Get lost," Gavin cut him off, not in the mood for Gernard’s teasing. He brushed past him, heading downstairs.Of course, that only fueled Gernard’s enthusiasm. "Hey, don’t walk away! I haven’t finished my gossip yet!" he called after him, but the conversation came to an abrupt end as they reached the main floor, where the guests were still gathered for the celebration....Aveline noticed Selena seemed a bit distracted and asked,

One of Jolie’s long, slender legs was exposed to the cool air, and Gavin’s fingers instinctively tightened, as if they could still feel the smoothness of her thigh under his grip. His gaze darkened, though his expression only grew colder. His sharp, chiseled features gave him a distant, unapproachable aura—a man who seldom smiled and whose demeanor warned others to stay away.He was cold, almost like an ice block."Debt’s owed," he said flatly, tossing out the two words before sitting on the sofa and picking up the phone to make a call.Jolie blinked in surprise, processing what he said. Debt owed?Was that something you could even keep on hold?But thinking about it, he probably didn’t need anything right now. So, if he wanted to leave the debt hanging, so be it.Stretching lazily, Jolie sat up and said, "Have someone bring me a change of clothes."With that, she pulled the blanket aside, slowly rising from the bed despite the discomfort between her legs and headed toward the bathro

As the effects of the drug finally began to fade, Jolie lay exhausted on the bed, her body drenched in sweat. Her skin, especially across her delicate shoulder blades, bore faint marks from their encounter and her breath ragged as it brushed against her own back. Her vision was hazy, and she barely had the strength to speak."I... I’m fine now... you can stop," she murmured, her voice weak and broken from the strain of what had just happened.The madness of moments before still pulsed through her, the aftershocks of it lingering in her body. She never expected that grabbing a random man for help would lead to this, nor did she expect him to have such relentless stamina.Yet, the man behind her didn’t stop. He didn’t respond either. His large hands remained firmly gripped around her slender waist as if he were trying to squeeze the very breath from her."Stop... I told you to stop, didn’t you hear me?" Jolie’s anxiety spiked as he continued. What was wrong with him? They’d agreed he was

Gavin said nothing and simply hung up the phone, his expression darkening by the second.Behind him, Jolie’s soft, pained whimpers filled the air. She was writhing on the bed, her delicate skin flushed a faint pink.Gavin clenched his jaw, tugging at his tie. It had already loosened from when she’d pulled on it earlier, and with a rough yank, it came completely undone. Frustration simmered beneath his calm exterior.Where was Selena? She was supposed to be finding help, but she still hadn’t returned.His frown deepened as he reached for the door, ready to leave."Please… help me…"Her desperate voice, laced with a hint of a sob, echoed from behind him. The softness of it hit him like a lit match to his chest, sparking a heat he wasn’t used to feeling. "Please… I’ll pay you… I won’t take it for free…" Jolie’s voice broke as tears streamed down her face. She was sobbing now, her words dripping with helplessness and shame, as if offering him money would somehow make her request more bear

"Stop moving," Gavin growled in a low voice.But Jolie, completely under the control of the drugs, was acting purely on instinct, seeking out what her body craved most. She didn’t register his words at all. Instead of stopping, she slipped her hand inside his shirt, feeling the hard muscles of his chest."Mm..." Jolie let out a soft sound, whether from the satisfying feel of his muscles or because the touch of his skin intensified the drug’s effects, it wasn’t clear.Gavin's breathing became heavier. He couldn’t stay here any longer—this drugged and irrational woman could do anything at this point, and there was no telling what she’d attempt next.Quickly surveying his surroundings, Gavin spotted a quieter route. Without hesitation, he carried Jolie out through the back door, re-entering the villa through another entrance. He headed upstairs and slipped into the nearest empty room, laying her down on the bed.Just as he moved to leave, Jolie, still hazy and half-conscious, sensed his d

"Let… let me go!" Jolie struggled with all her might, but the drugs were quickly sapping her strength, leaving her powerless to break free.The man, too impatient to care, ignored her pleas and began dragging her toward the back exit."Hey! She told you to let her go. Are you deaf?" A sharp voice suddenly cut through the air.The man froze, startled, and looked up to see a girl standing not far away."Who the hell are you? This has nothing to do with you. Get lost!" He snapped, not recognizing Selena, his tone turning nasty.Selena’s expression grew colder as she took in Jolie’s disheveled state. Without hesitation, she stepped forward and slapped the man hard across the face, then yanked Jolie away from him."Letting yourself fall into the hands of this scum? Where’s your fight?" Selena said sharply.Jolie’s blurry consciousness flickered at the sound of her familiar voice. When she realized it was Selena, her tensed body finally relaxed, leaning heavily into her for support."Take me
