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

Everyone paid a price to mature.Barbara looked at him as if he were a stranger and finally sighed, "Fine, I won't force you to marry Sophia right away, but her status as your fiancée can't change. I only recognize her as my granddaughter-in-law."Lucas asked, "Which grandson are we talking about here?"Barbara frowned. "You're my only grandson right now!"Lucas replied, "So, if the family gains another grandson, she wouldn't have to marry me, right?""You!"Barbara was truly enraged, causing the alarm on her medical device to go off as her face grew increasingly pale.Lucas stood up. "I'll be very busy from now on, so I won't come around to upset you anymore. Honestly, you were better off when you were still confused."Without looking back at Barbara's expression, he left.Doctors and nurses rushed in to check on Barbara and stabilize her blood pressure.When Sophia entered, she saw Barbara looking unwell and gasping for breath."Grandma, what's wrong?" she hurried forward, gently rub

Sophia walked toward the office carrying the lunchbox. Desmond quickly said, "Miss Sophia, there are guests inside. Maybe you should wait a bit?"Sophia looked at him and saw a flicker of hesitation in his eyes. A gleam flashed in her own eyes as she said, "It's already lunchtime. What kind of guest would be here at this hour?"With that, she headed straight to the office.Desmond watched her back but did not stop her.Sophia pushed open the office door and immediately saw a woman standing close to Lucas, leaning over to speak to him intimately.Seeing this scene, anger surged in Sophia's eyes. "Lucas, who is she?"Lucas paused and glanced at Sophia. "Did you knock?"Sophia tightened her grip on the lunchbox and took a few steps forward. "Lucas, don't forget what Grandma said."Lucas turned to the woman. "Have a seat."Judy glanced at Sophia, clearly sensing the hostility directed at her. She raised an eyebrow slightly. She knew about Sophia. Lucas had once almost divorced Aveline fo

As the streetlights began to glow, they illuminated half of Lucas' face, his eyes shrouded in the darkness inside the car, making it impossible to discern his expression.He asked coldly, "So, do you have a place to stay tonight?"Aveline nodded. "I can stay with Selena or at a hotel. Cloudflare City is so big, and I have plenty of money. There's no way I won't find a place to stay.""Heh!"Something in her words amused Lucas. He chuckled softly and then said, "Maple Garden is already in your name. You can go back there tonight."Aveline was surprised. "You acted that quickly?"Lucas replied, "I can even be generous enough to give you a ride."Aveline said, "That's not necessary."With that, she turned and walked away.From behind, Lucas called out, "We're divorced now. Are you afraid I'll devour you?"Without turning back, Aveline replied, "We're not related anymore. It's better to keep a distance to avoid misunderstandings. I don't want to be blamed for anything."Lucas didn't say an

Aveline was a bit surprised by Russell's suggestion and then said, "No need, Russ. I've already had dinner."Russell responded, "We could still have a late-night snack. Aveline, I'm genuinely happy for you."Aveline replied, "Let's wait until everyone has time, then we can all go out for a meal together."This subtly indicated that she didn't want to dine with him alone.Russell fell silent for a moment. After a while, he said, "Aveline, you don't always have to be so quick to reject kindness. It's good to leave yourself some room to maneuver."Aveline felt a bittersweet pang she couldn't quite place. She smiled softly. "I understand, Russ."Russell continued, "If you want to go out, feel free to visit my bar. You can drink as much as you like there."Aveline replied, "Sure, I'll bring Selena along and drink up all your stock!"Russell laughed. "I'd welcome it."After a bit more small talk, they ended the call.Aveline sat on the couch, staring at the intricate ceiling, suddenly feelin

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
