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

"Why not?" Selena asked.Aveline replied, "Lucas and I have reconciled.""What?" Selena raised her voice suddenly as if she had jumped up on the other end. A jumble of noises came through."Ave, you're not joking, are you? This isn't funny at all," Selena said, completely flustered.She had been the harshest critic of Lucas, constantly urging them to divorce. Now Aveline was telling her they had reconciled? Their reconciliation made her feel like a fool!Selena's voice grew more urgent. "Ave, have you forgotten all the hurt you've suffered? Hasn't he hurt you deeply enough? How can you reconcile with him?"Aveline felt terribly sad. She wanted to blurt out the truth, but Lucas was right - the fewer people who knew the truth, the less risk they faced. If someone were to learn something from Selena, wouldn't all her efforts be in vain?She just wanted to return to a normal life. Running away couldn't solve the problem.Aveline closed her eyes for a moment and then said, "This incident m

Lucas' cold gaze fell on her as if trying to see through her phone to Russell. His stare carried a sense of pressure that made Aveline uncomfortable. She shot him an annoyed look. Was she not allowed to take a call?Lucas kept quiet.He gripped his fork as if he were gripping Aveline's neck.Russell's voice came through. "Aveline, what's wrong with Selena? I just contacted her, and she seemed very upset."Aveline's breath caught in her throat. She then said, "I made her angry. I'll make it up to her."Russell acknowledged this, then asked, "And you? How are you?"Aveline paused. "What do you mean?"Russell said, "Are you hurt? Actually, I rushed over there yesterday too, but I was a step too late."He finished with a self-deprecating laugh.Aveline hadn't realized he had gone too. Gratitude flickered in her eyes. "Thank you. I'm fine, not hurt."Russell replied, "Good, that's good."A brief silence fell.As Aveline was considering ending the call, Russell suddenly asked, "Aveline, you

Who could resist a beautiful woman's charm? Certainly not Aveline. Faced with Maria's persuasive beauty, Aveline gave in. "Alright, I'll go. But I really need to get back to work now. You might not worry about money as the boss, but I still need to earn a living!"Maria smiled. "Great! You go ahead and work then. I won't disturb you anymore.""Alright!"As Maria turned to leave, she glanced back at Aveline one last time. Seeing her in good spirits, she felt relieved.Maria praised herself for doing well and thought about asking Lucas for a bonus!...Aveline pored over the Winter family files.

Aaron looked at him. "Don't be so sure. You just haven't realized it yet. By the time you do, you probably won't be able to leave her. You'll be afraid to defy her wishes.”Lucas looked disdainful.Aaron changed the subject, "What do you think about this recent incident?"Lucas said calmly, "She wants to handle it herself."Aaron was surprised, "Can she manage it?""We'll see if she can or not. If she really can't, I'll be there to back her up," Lucas replied.Aaron nodded. "Alright. You two are becoming more and more alike."Lucas glanced at him. "Anything else?"Aaron took out an envelope and pushed it across to Lucas. "Some recent findings. Take a look."Lucas opened the envelope to find several photos of Yvonne with a man. The man wore a hat and mask, obscuring his face. The photos were somewhat blurry but clearly recent. Yvonne had been meeting this man frequently.Who was he?Lucas looked at Aaron. "Have you identified this man?"Aaron said, "He's excellent at evading surveillanc

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
