After the CEO Divorced Me, He Wants Me Back Chapter 497
The hospital surveillance footage quickly reached Lucas' phone. He sat in the car, scrutinizing it carefully. From the moment Aveline entered the room to when Barbara and Sophia left together, he didn't miss a single detail. However, there was a missing segment in the footage.Lucas pressed a button on his Bluetooth earpiece, his voice icy. "Maria, where's the rest of the footage?"Maria responded hastily, "I'm looking, I'm looking! Don't rush me." She was sweating profusely, nervous and worried. If she had known that Aveline would get into trouble after leaving in the afternoon, she wouldn't have let her go."Hurry up," Lucas' voice came through the earpiece, extremely cold.Maria felt a chill run up her spine. She swallowed hard and quickly tapped on the keyboard, hacking into one surveillance system after another around the hospital, searching for Aveline's figure."I found it!" Two minutes later, she exclaimed and immediately sent the video to Lucas' phone. The footage, captured

Aaron narrowed his eyes, sensing that something was off in Selena's attitude toward him. Instead of letting go, he looked at her and asked, "Why are you acting like this towards me?"Selena retorted, "Are we that close?""Heh!" Aaron laughed in exasperation. They weren’t close? After all they had been through together? They had even slept together, and she said they weren't close?His grip on her arm tightened momentarily, but seeing her cold expression, he let go with a cold laugh, saying nothing more. If she wanted to pretend they weren't close, so be it. Let her be.Selena moved her arm and then turned to Lucas. "Hey, say something!"One moment he was focused on finding Aveline, and the next he was heading to the Tudor family estate?Lucas gave her a cold glance. "Either wait patiently or get out!"With Aveline missing, no one could protect her!"You!" Selena's face flushed with anger. How could he be so arrogant when Aveline's disappearance was the Tudor family's fault?She took

Barbara replied coldly, "Haven't you already divorced her? Where she is and what she's doing should have nothing to do with you."Lucas leaned forward slightly, his hands resting on the foot of the bed, eyes filled with icy coldness as he looked at her. "Grandma, you used the same tactics to force me into a divorce, and I obliged. But if you try it again, my patience will run out. After all, when Leo died in front of me, I didn't shed a single tear. How long do you think I'd care about your life?""You!" Barbara's face grew increasingly grim, her hand trembling as she pointed at him. "Lucas, you unfilial grandson!"Lucas smirked. "I've always been. Did you forget?"His presence exuded a chilling aura, his eyes showing a mix of ruthlessness and madness, a determination that would stop at nothing to achieve his goals.Barbara suddenly recalled that Lucas had always been this way as a child—a little wolf cub. Anyone who got close to him ended up hurt. He wasn't a likable child. It was Le

Bang!Bang bang!Her desperate kicks echoed inside the container, but this part of the abandoned dock, deep within the deserted beach, was empty and isolated. The beach was strewn with trash, and several containers stood amid the rising tide, slowly being swallowed by the seawater.In the distance, car headlights illuminated the road. Inside the car, Sophia held binoculars, watching the container in the darkness. A malicious smile appeared on her face.Aveline would drown in two hours!That wretched woman should have died long ago! She had always clung to Lucas, distracting him and preventing their divorce from going through! If it hadn't been for her interference, Sophia and Lucas would have been married by now, and she would have become part of the Tudor family.Satisfied with the rising tide, Sophia smirked, set down the binoculars, and told the driver, "Let's go.""Yes, Miss."...The water beneath her was rising steadily. Terror filled Aveline's eyes. She struggled frantically,

Lucas reached out and ripped the tape off her mouth.“Ouch!” Aveline cried out in pain, gasping for breath before saying, “Lucas, I’ve thought it over. I agree with what you asked.”Lucas raised an eyebrow in surprise and asked, “Why did you suddenly agree?”Aveline pursed her lips, about to say something when a voice called out from afar.“Hey!”“Can you stop chatting there?”“The tide is rising!”Aveline's expression froze. “Let's leave here first.”Lucas was already striding towards the shore, carrying her. He had just placed her in the car when Selena rushed over, throwing her arms around her and crying out, “Ave, you scared me to death! I thought I’d never see you again!”Aveline stumbled back slightly, coughing twice. “Cough... don’t do that, I’m fine.”Aaron’s cold voice broke in, “If you keep hugging her like this, you might actually never see her again.”After speaking, he frowned, wondering why he had spoken to her. This woman never understood when people were being kind…Sel

In the car, Aveline gently rubbed her wrists, which had become swollen and painful from being bound for so long. Her face was pale, and her clothes were soaked through.Lucas took out a towel and began wiping her face and neck. Aveline felt a bit uncomfortable and tried to take the towel, saying, "I can do it myself."But Lucas replied, "Didn't you already decide? You should start getting used to this now."Aveline paused, lowering her gaze. "Will this really work?" she asked quietly."I can't promise that," Lucas said, "but there are people who don't want to see us happy. So, let's be even more affectionate."Aveline pressed her lips together, not saying anything more. Lucas gently dried her hair as the car headed directly back to the Tudor mansion.Feeling cold and clammy, Aveline said, "I'm going to take a shower first. We can discuss everything else after.""Alright, go ahead," Lucas replied, then instructed the kitchen to prepare some ginger tea.Although Aveline hadn't been in

Lucas suddenly stood up, his commanding presence enveloping Aveline as he placed his hands on either side of her, trapping her in his arms. His sudden closeness made Aveline tense up immediately, her clear eyes revealing a hint of wariness as she looked at him."What are you doing?" Lucas chuckled softly, his piercing gaze fixed on her as he said in a low voice, "Aveline, when did you become so wicked?"Aveline's lips curved into a cold smile. "I didn't want to be like this, but you all forced me to."She could have lived a simple, carefree life. It was his forceful entry into her world, his refusal to let go, and the pressure and jealousy from others that had turned her into what she was now. She hadn't wanted this either.Aveline lowered her eyes, a trace of sadness appearing in them.Seeing this, Lucas felt an inexplicable discomfort. Noticing her damp hair, he suddenly stood up and left, returning moments later with a hairdryer."Let me dry your hair.”Aveline frowned and refused,

"Damn it! He hung up on me again!" Selena stared angrily at the disconnected call. She wanted to call back, but remembering Lucas' words about Aveline being tired, she held back.Once Aveline had enough rest, Selena swore she’d complain to Aveline about Lucas and let Aveline know how Lucas had bullied her!Nearby, Aaron couldn't help but laugh at Selena's angry expression.Hearing him, Selena glanced his way without a word, then turned and walked away.A taxi happened to be passing by. She got in, told the driver her destination, and looked away, not sparing Aaron even a glance.Aaron gritted his teeth. This woman was getting bolder. Did she really think he wouldn't do anything to her?He took out his phone and made a call....Just as Selena's taxi entered the city, she received a call from her studio boss, who berated her harshly."Selena, if you mess up Mr. Fletcher's deal, you're fired!" the boss finally roared before hanging up.Selena wanted to say something, but the call had alr

“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
