Chapter 510

Author: Riverflow
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 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.

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

    Sidney grabbed her arm, his eyes wary as he faced Lucas. "Mr. Tudor, there's nothing going on between Aveline and me. Don't hurt her!"He stood protectively, but his face was pale, and he occasionally coughed, clutching his stomach where Lucas had kicked him. Aveline's concern grew as she looked at Sidney. She couldn't let him stay here any longer. She turned and went to the bathroom to retrieve his half-dried clothes."Sidney, put on your clothes and leave now!" she urged, standing between Sidney and Lucas, facing Sidney, and frantically signaling for him to leave. If he stayed, it would only get worse for everyone. Lucas' anger would spell trouble for them both.Sidney saw the urgency in her eyes, hesitated for a moment, then nodded. "Alright."He quickly dressed and said, "I'll send you a message in an hour. If you don't reply, I'll call the police."Aveline responded, "I'll be fine. Just go!"Lucas' face was growing darker by the second. If this dragged on, things could turn d

    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
