After the CEO Divorced Me, He Wants Me Back Chapter 515
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

Lucas' gaze was dark and menacing, his presence radiating an icy chill. His movements were forceful and rough, devoid of any gentleness. Aveline felt like she was dying on the bed—truly dying.At first, she tried to endure the pain, but soon it became unbearable, and she began to cry out in agony."Lucas, let me go, it hurts... it hurts so much..."Her struggles were weak because she had no strength left. Lucas, however, kissed away her tears without an ounce of compassion.Aveline lay sprawled on the bed, blood spots staining the sheets. Her entire body trembled with pain, her fingers clutching the sheets tightly."It hurts... it hurts..." she whimpered faintly.Lucas looked at her, seeing her battered like a ragdoll, her pale skin marked everywhere by him. He scooped her up and carried her to the bathroom.The moment he touched her, Aveline shivered uncontrollably, a deep-rooted fear shaking her to her core.Sensing her change, Lucas' expression darkened further. His jaw tightened,

She tried to get up, but the pain coursing through her body forced her back onto the bed. Her face turned ghostly pale. Bastard!Thinking about what Lucas had done made Aveline's eyes well up with tears, but she fought them back, knowing that crying wouldn't help.She had brought this upon herself. She should never have agreed to his demands! Pretending to play along had led her to this. She would be better off dead, ending it all!Aveline pulled the blanket over herself, trying to calm down. After some time, she finally stabilized her emotions and got up, dragging her sore legs to wash up.When she emerged, she saw Lucas sitting on the sofa in the living room, exuding a cold aura. Without glancing at him, she walked straight past.Lucas withdrew his gaze and spoke into the phone. "Extract the footage from Aveline's car's dashcam."She mentioned being attacked last night. Since the underground parking lot had no surveillance, he had no idea what really happened."Yes," Desmond replied

By the time Sophia realized that everything she had bought was defective, it would be too late to hold anyone accountable as those involved would have already disappeared. The people Sasha had arranged to contact Sophia were all from shell companies, specializing in scams.Aveline's eyes brightened as she asked, "How much did she invest?"Sasha couldn't hide her amusement. "She put in all the available funds of her company."Aveline was surprised that Sophia had gambled so recklessly. All her investment had now gone down the drain.Sasha continued, "This failure is a significant blow to her. Not only did she fail to deliver results, but her company now needs family support to stay afloat. My father is very disappointed in her and has ordered her to secure Lucas. Aveline, the next step is up to you."Aveline took a deep breath and said, "Got it."After hanging up, a look of determination appeared in her eyes. She could ignore many things, but she had to settle this score. If Sophia wan

The whip lashed across Lucas' body, and he winced slightly. Hearing Frederick's words, he retorted sarcastically, "If you hate me that much, you might as well kill me now.""You think I don't want to?" Frederick panted, exhausted from the beating, his eyes filled with malice. "Once I find Leo, I'll gladly kill you!"Lucas' clothes were torn, and his arms and back were bleeding, presenting a gruesome sight. He looked at Frederick mockingly. "Well, you might never see him, even in death.""You ungrateful son!" Frederick's chest heaved with anger, raising the whip to strike again.Lucas stood up and said coldly, "Save your strength for next time. I have things to do.""Stop right there!" Frederick shouted, trembling with rage, pointing a shaking finger at him. But Lucas never listened to him. He had knelt down and taken the beating today for reasons Frederick couldn't fathom.Despite this, Frederick felt no satisfaction, only increased fury. He couldn't help but think how much better it

“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
