The next day.The two of them went to the hospital.Barbara had already had her breakfast, with Yvonne sitting by her side, chatting."Grandma."Lucas walked in, calling softly.Seeing him, Barbara's wrinkled face immediately lit up with a smile."Lucas, you’re here." Barbara grasped his hand and, looking at his handsome face, suddenly said, "Lucas, you seem different. You look more mature."Lucas' lips curved into a faint smile. "Isn't it good to be more mature?"Barbara nodded. "Good, of course, but I still miss the younger you, carefree, always following Leo around with a pout. Only Leo spoiled you. If it had been anyone else, they would've given you a good beating."Lucas’ smile froze momentarily.Barbara then noticed Aveline and asked, "Why is she here again?"Lucas said, "Grandma, she's my wife, Aveline."Aveline looked at Barbara. "Grandma."Barbara's brow furrowed immediately, releasing Lucas' hand. "Weren't you supposed to marry Sophia? I thought that girl was very reliable. W

Leaving the hospital, Lucas looked at Aveline. "Don't overthink it. She just lost her memory from the past two years."Aveline glanced at him and asked, "What if Grandma insists you marry Sophia?"Lucas stared at her deeply. "Aveline, you better get rid of that idea. I won't divorce you."Aveline couldn't help but sigh. "Actually, getting a divorce isn't a bad thing. I...""Shut up!"Lucas glared at her irritably. "Didn't you understand what I said? If you mention divorce again, I won't hesitate to lock you up!"His eyes darkened with a fierce glint, and a cold chill surrounded him.Aveline paused and stopped talking because she knew he meant it.She turned and walked away, her face growing colder.Lucas watched her retreating figure, his lips pressed into a straight line.He opened the car door and got in, his expression darkening even more.Just then, his phone rang. He took it out and saw it was a call from Maria."Speak."Maria was startled by his cold tone and swallowed hard. "Bos

Aveline looked at Barbara in astonishment. She never expected that the once kind and even doting old lady would now look at her with such cold eyes and malicious suspicion. A wave of heartache washed over her. She realized that being hurt by someone close could be just as painful as Lucas's betrayal.She pressed her lips together, then took out her phone and dialed Lucas's number."Hello?"The call was quickly answered, and the man's cool, magnetic voice came through.Aveline said, "Grandma has something to discuss with us. Come to the hospital."Lucas asked, "What's going on?"Aveline replied, "You'll know when you get here." With that, she hung up the phone. Discussing the divorce should be done in front of both of them. What use was it to just talk to her? She wanted the divorce, but Lucas wouldn't agree, and Barbara didn't believe her. What had she done wrong to be treated like this?Aveline sat down on the sofa, her eyes downcast, no longer looking at Barbara. Her personality

Barbara said, "How could someone want to harm you? That’s just your speculation.""Heh!" Lucas let out a low laugh and continued, "Grandma, how could I, someone who just woke up and lost his memory, end up on the street by myself? Where were the caregivers from the place I was staying at? Where did everyone go?"Barbara fell silent.Lucas continued, "At that time, it was Aveline who saved me and took me home. If it weren't for her, you wouldn't be seeing me today."Barbara glanced at Aveline and suddenly said, "We can't be certain it wasn't intentional. What if she knew who you were all along?""I don't know."Aveline felt she should say something. She looked calmly at Barbara and said, "Grandma, I don't know why you are so hostile towards me, but you weren't like this before. You liked me a lot and even told him that if he ever bullied me, you would help me teach him a lesson. I still remember those words."She exhaled slowly and continued, "Of course, if you've forgotten, it doesn't

Barbara threatened with her life, causing Lucas' expression to darken immediately.Sophia stepped forward, crying, "Grandma, please don't say that. Nothing is more important than your health. Let's get you checked first, okay?"Barbara looked at her with relief. "Sophia, you're truly a good girl. The Tudor family owes you so much. If I don't do something about it, I won't rest in peace even in death."Sophia cried uncontrollably.The situation became tense. Lucas remained silent, and Barbara's condition worsened, her eyes fixed on him, waiting for his decision.Aveline walked over and said to Lucas, "Let's get the divorce first. Grandma's health is more important."Barbara looked at Lucas eagerly.Lucas turned sharply towards Aveline, a bitter smile on his lips. "Are you satisfied with the outcome now?"Aveline pressed her lips together and said, "But Grandma's health is more important."Lucas nodded. "Fine, we’ll divorce."Barbara suddenly relaxed and fainted on the bed.Doctors and n

Aveline returned to the studio.Seeing her unusual expression, Sidney asked, "Aveline, are you feeling unwell?"Aveline shook her head. "No, maybe I just didn't get enough rest."Sidney looked worried. "Do you have any tasks left? Give them to me, and I'll help you."Aveline replied, "No, thank you."Sidney wanted to say more, but Maria walked over. "Sidney, come with me for a moment."Sidney nodded. "Okay."Lately, Maria had been taking Sidney out frequently. He had proven his capability and social skills, securing many resources through these engagements. He had even started completing design drafts independently.Aveline watched them leave, feeling a slight sense of doubt. Wasn't there a bit too much socializing lately? It wasn't like this before.Suddenly, Vivian commented, "Tsk, tsk. She used to take you out all the time and valued you so much. Now it seems Sidney's skills are even more outstanding than yours."Aveline asked, "So, what are you proud of?"Vivian was taken aback, n

Aveline was a bit puzzled. "Can't it be handled in the main office?"The staff member replied, "Ma'am, the office is quite busy today. You can go upstairs."Aveline looked at the office and saw it was packed. She wondered if most marriages were falling apart these days. Pushing the thought aside, she followed the staff member upstairs.In the general counsel’s office, they still had to fill out some forms, and then came the issue of property division.Lucas handed her an agreement. "This is your compensation."Aveline took it and glanced through it, her eyes widening slightly at one name. The house in Maple Garden was being given to her. She had sold that house, hadn't she? When did he buy it back? Or was it another house? It was the first large house he had given her, holding special sentimental value, and she had really liked it.Continuing to read, she saw a divorce settlement of ten million dollars. Great, she had instantly become a multimillionaire.Lucas gazed at her deeply. "An

Selena laughed. "Don't worry, that jerk can't outplay me. When I get bored, I'll just kick him to the curb."Aveline had a nagging feeling of concern. The last thing she wanted was for Selena to push Aaron too far, as he could be even worse than Lucas.She voiced her concern, "Just be careful, okay?"Selena replied, "Alright, alright, I know."Aveline said, "I won't keep you from your work. You go ahead, and I'll hang up now.""Love you."...Aveline returned to the studio, her entire demeanor changed.Sidney was the first to notice, smiling as he asked, "What’s got you so happy?"Aveline was surprised. "Is it that obvious?"Sidney nodded, "Very obvious. You usually don't smile at work, but today you’re beaming."Aveline touched her face and then said, "Well, I've signed some big contracts. We're about to make a fortune, so of course, I'm happy."Sidney said, "Congratulations.""Thank you."Aveline smiled slightly and turned to open her computer.She glanced around the office and notic

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

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
