Returning to the bedroom, Aveline closed the door and sighed in relief, feeling that Lucas was becoming increasingly strange. However, she didn't dwell on his behavior. She didn't care. Her focus was on planning her next steps.After taking a shower, she lay on the bed with her phone, noting down all the things she needed to do. A while later, she turned off the lights and went to sleep.But in the middle of the night, the bedroom door opened, and Lucas walked into the darkness.Seeing this, Aveline frowned slightly and said, "What are you doing here?"Lucas replied, "This is my bedroom. If I don't come here, where else would I go?"Upon hearing this, Aveline immediately got up. "If you're in this room, I'll go to another."However, he grabbed her wrist. "Aveline, do you know what it means to put on an act? I can't be sure if there are people planted here by that person or if there are hidden cameras. If you just walk out, what if someone sees through us?"In the darkness, Aveline loo

He wore a gray tracksuit, a large patch of sweat soaking his chest, and his short, coarse hair was damp. His sharp eyes remained as piercing as ever.Aveline glanced at him briefly before turning away and heading to the dining room to eat.Lucas gave her a long look.He had barely slept the night before. Despite feeling her warm, soft body in his arms, he couldn't do anything to her. If he tried, she would definitely freak out. Lately, her mood changed faster than the weather!Bringing her back was just the first step; he needed to proceed gradually. He believed she would eventually return to him on her own accord.Lucas turned his gaze away and went upstairs to take a shower.When Aveline was almost finished eating, Lucas emerged, dressed in a sleek silver-gray suit. His aura was cool and elegant as he walked over, adjusting his cufflinks.Aveline looked at him and asked, "Do you have a more modest car?"Lucas pulled out a chair and sat down, asking, "How modest?"Aveline replied, "A

Sophia was eager to prove herself. After securing this piece of land, she poured all her efforts and funds into the project. Once the construction was complete and the nearby subway station was operational, the project would yield immense profits for her. This would also solidify her position within the Winter family.As Sasha listened to Aveline's plan, her eyes lit up. "You really are something, Mrs. Tudor."Aveline smiled faintly. "I don't start trouble, but if someone crosses me, I make sure they regret it."Sasha nodded. "With you being so open to me, I won't disappoint you. Leave these parts to me," she said, pointing to specific items in the documents.Aveline nodded. "Alright."In the private room next door, Aaron walked in and looked at Lucas. "Guess who I saw?"Lucas, flipping through some documents, replied coldly, "Who?"Aaron grinned. "Come on, take a guess.""Shut up if you're not going to say," Lucas retorted.Aaron clicked his tongue. "You’re no fun. I saw Aveline. She

He casually rotated his wrist as he said in his deep, magnetic voice, "But if you do that, it loses its finesse and purpose. These hands are capable of so much."Watching him continuously showing off his hands, Aveline gradually calmed down. Right. She felt that Lucas was just flaunting his hands in front of her.She looked at him with a complex expression, unsure of what he was trying to achieve.Lucas looked at her calmly and asked, "Do you want to see what they can really do?"Aveline immediately became wary and pushed him away, saying, "Sorry, we're not that familiar."With that, she left the restroom.Lucas' lips curved into a faint smile. She really got into character quickly.Back in the private room.Aaron glanced at him and clicked his tongue. "Lucas, you're really losing your cool. You rush over the moment she makes a move. What happened to your aloof persona? Weren't you indifferent to her before?"Lucas sat opposite him, ignoring his words, and said, "It's pretty much conf

"Ah!" Aveline screamed and turned to run. Even though she had a knife, she didn't dare to confront the man directly. What if he took the knife and used it against her?She ran as fast as she could, shouting for help. Her cries echoed through the empty underground parking lot. The sound of footsteps behind her felt like they were pounding on her heart. Terror gripped her, making her feel like her heart was about to burst out of her chest. She clutched the knife tightly, trembling all over.Suddenly, a figure rushed out from the side, tackling the man chasing her. Both of them fell to the ground."Aveline, run!" a frantic voice called out behind her.She turned and saw Sidney wrestling with the man. Sidney's face quickly bore signs of the struggle. The assailant pulled out a knife and aimed it at Sidney's chest."No!" Aveline cried out, rushing over to help. Sidney blocked the attack with his arm, blood flowing from the wound. The intense pain drained the color from his face.Aveline s

Sidney frowned and said, "What could be more important than his wife's life?"Aveline didn't want to dwell on this topic, so she changed the subject. "Be careful not to wet your wound. When you get home, try to eat light foods to avoid infection."Sidney gave her a long look, understanding she was trying to change the subject. He didn't press further.The car soon arrived at the entrance of Maple Garden. After getting out, Sidney followed Aveline inside.Aveline said, "This is far enough. You should go home and rest."Sidney insisted, "No, I'll feel better once I see you to your door."His concern was evident, making it hard for Aveline to refuse. She nodded and led the way.As they stepped out of the elevator, Aveline said, "Thank you for walking me back. Would you like to come in for a cup of tea?"Since he had accompanied her all the way to her door, it was only polite to offer.Sidney shook his head. "No, thanks. Now that you're home safely, I'll head back."Aveline stood by the

Sidney commented, "It looks really good."He took a bite, and his eyes lit up. "Delicious!"Aveline smiled slightly. "Everyone who’s tried my cooking says that."She wasn't trying to boast, but the truth was, everyone who tasted her food had praised it.Sidney said, "With your cooking skills, you could open a restaurant. It would be a hit."Aveline nodded. "Sure, maybe when I retire, I'll open a small restaurant. I'll open it whenever I feel like it and close it whenever I don't. Just for fun."Sidney laughed.They ate quietly, and the atmosphere was quite pleasant. However, with his injured right hand, Sidney had some trouble eating and had to take his time.Aveline served him a bowl of soup and placed it by his side. "Try this.""Okay," Sidney agreed.But he didn't hold the bowl securely, and it spilled all over his clothes and pants!Aveline was startled. "Did you get burned?"Sidney said, "No, I'm fine, but I might need to use your bathroom."Aveline nodded. "Go ahead, make sure y

The tense atmosphere dissolved, giving way to a bone-chilling cold.Both Lucas and Aveline turned to see Sidney emerging from the bathroom, a towel wrapped around his waist. His short hair was damp, and though his frame was slender, it was covered with a thin layer of muscle, giving him a youthful yet powerful appearance.Lucas suddenly grabbed Aveline by her wrist and yanked her forward roughly. His icy voice cut through the air, "Aveline, what are you doing, hmm? Hiding a man in your home?"Lucas radiated danger, his piercing eyes fixed on Aveline as if he wanted to bore a hole through her. Rage surged within him, spreading throughout his chest.She had brought a man home! If he hadn't come over tonight, would they have ended up in bed together?And she had even cooked a whole meal for him!Ha!Lucas realized he had been far too lenient with her.Aveline winced in pain, her face paling as she struggled to free her wrist. But Lucas' grip was too strong, and the pressure only hurt her

“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
