"If you beg me, I might agree to keep up the act," the man's clear voice rang out behind her.Aveline paused, her tone cold. "I'd rather die."He wanted her to beg him? In his dreams!Lucas chuckled softly. "So full of pride. Think about everything you've been through: a man like Darren constantly trying to kill you, Sophia scheming against you at every turn. Who else might come after you? How much longer can you endure? Dying sounds easy, but do you really have the courage to go through with it?"His words struck her heart like a hammer, breaking down her resolve. Her steps slowed, and she clenched her bag tightly. She was unwilling to give up. Otherwise, she wouldn't have contacted Lucas today. Did she really dare to die? How could she, with so many things left undone?Aveline closed her eyes, knowing that stepping back meant endless entanglement with him. He could easily walk away, but what about her? In the end, wouldn't she still be left battered and bruised? Fighting alone o

The butler noticed the servant returning alone and immediately asked, "Where is Mrs. Tudor?"The servant hesitated but eventually repeated what Aveline had said.The butler sighed heavily and glanced at the unconscious man on the sofa. Lucas' brow was furrowed, and even in his unconscious state, he kept murmuring Aveline's name."Aveline, don't go. Aveline..."But Aveline couldn't hear him....Aveline went to the supermarket, bought groceries, and started cooking at home. While preparing the fish, Russell called her. She answered, "Russ, I'm cooking. Have you had dinner? Do you want to come over and join us?"Russell smiled. "Sure, I haven't had your cooking in a while. I'd love to."Aveline said, "Then come over.""Alright," Russell replied before hanging up.About half an hour later, Russell arrived with Selena.Aveline stood at the door, smiling at Selena. Selena pouted, then suddenly ran over and hugged her. "You didn't contact me for so long. I thought you didn't want me anymor

Selena cried, tears and snot streaming down her face. Her eyes, though angry, were filled with concern for Aveline.Aveline's eyes welled up as she sniffled. "I'm sorry for making you worry."Selena grabbed a tissue, blew her nose loudly, and tossed it in the trash. "Alright, I accept your apology. Now, can you tell me what's going on?"After a pause, she forced a smile. "No matter what happens, I'm by your side this time. Even if you and Lucas have ten or eight kids, I won't say a word."Aveline's lips twitched. The serious mood was broken by her comment. Ten or eight kids? Did she think Aveline was some kind of breeding machine?Aveline took a sip of beer and briefly explained the situation."Someone's trying to harm you?" Selena's face grew tense. "Who?"Aveline shook her head. "I don't know. That's why when he proposed this plan, I hesitated. It seemed like a good idea, but now... I don't want to know anymore.""Why not?" Selena argued. "You need to find out. If playing along is th

Aveline paused, realizing she hadn’t considered that possibility before. What if the person never made a move and just continued lurking in the shadows, watching them?Russell smiled and said, "That's why this plan is flawed. The stronger your relationship with Lucas appears, and the more protection you receive, the harder it will be for the person to strike."Aveline pressed her lips together. Had Lucas deceived her again?Russell continued, "Instead of trying to provoke the person this way, it's better to observe and see if they are bothered by your relationship or targeting you specifically."Selena nodded. "I agree with Russ."Aveline asked, "But what if they're targeting me?"Russell replied, "That's easy. I'll assign someone to protect you and ensure you aren't harmed."Selena gave him a thumbs up. "Russ, you're a true hero!"Russell's lips twitched slightly, and then he added, "Since you’ve decided not to cooperate with Lucas, you need to be prepared to expose yourself to the pe

Aveline stayed silent, realizing her initial thinking had been overly simplistic.Selena continued, "It's not enough to just take away everything she values; she needs to experience the despair you felt. After all, true empathy doesn't exist. Once she's faced the brink of death, she'll understand how precious life is."Aveline blinked. "You make a good point."Selena smiled confidently. "Sometimes my brain works pretty fast."Aveline pondered for a moment. "But doing that would be illegal."Selena sighed. "Did Sophia consider the law when she did those things to you?"Aveline fell into deep silence.Russell said, "That woman really deserves a lesson."Selena's eyes lit up as she looked at Russell. "Russ, you're so handsome! Do you have a girlfriend? Being with you must feel incredibly safe!"She glanced meaningfully at Aveline.Aveline took a sip of her beer, pretending not to notice.Russell, with his gentle and handsome face, smiled faintly and gazed at Aveline. "I don't have a girlf

Aveline put her phone aside and took another sip of water before returning to the bedroom to shower and sleep.At the hospital, the lights were still on in Lucas' room. Lucas stared at the ended call on his phone, his handsome face tightening with a grim expression. A heavy, oppressive silence slowly filled the room.Suddenly, the door opened. Lucas instinctively looked over, but when he saw it was Aaron entering, he frowned and looked away."Well, you seem disappointed to see me," Aaron remarked as he walked in and sat down in a chair. He still smelled faintly of alcohol, clearly having just come from a bar.Lucas closed his eyes briefly, his face still rather pale. The whip wounds on his body had been treated, but he had lost consciousness earlier due to infection and high fever from the injuries.Aaron said, "You're already divorced Aveline, so why are you still hoping she'll come see you? From what I can tell, she'd rather stay far away from you."Lucas replied in a cold, hoarse

Aaron held Lucas back firmly. "Lucas, don't be crazy. You're still injured, and besides, you and Aveline are already divorced. Since you’ve decided to let her go, you need to move on!"Aaron truly couldn't understand why Lucas was so fixated on Aveline. In the beginning, Lucas despised her because she had witnessed his most vulnerable state - when he had lost his memory, couldn't speak, and even appeared mentally impaired. Those were the memories Lucas least wanted to revisit after regaining his senses, which led him to insist on divorcing Aveline in the first place. But now, he wanted to win her back? It was insane!The veins on Lucas' forehead bulged as he glared at Aaron furiously. "Aveline and I are not divorced. She is still my wife!"Aaron was stunned. "What... did you say?"The struggle had reopened some of Lucas' wounds, and the faint scent of blood lingered in the air. He curled his lips into a cold smile. "If I hadn’t handed her the divorce certificate, she would’ve kept p

Selena was surprised. Aveline was usually a light sleeper, but the loud knocking hadn’t woken her. Maybe it was the alcohol.Not dwelling on it further, Selena yawned as she went to check the peephole. Seeing who was outside, she narrowed her eyes. Why was he here?Just as she was pondering this, the person outside started knocking again.Selena quickly opened the door to find Aaron with his hand raised, about to knock once more. If she'd been two seconds slower, his palm might have landed on her instead."What's wrong with you, pounding on the door in the middle of the night? Are you crazy?" Selena snapped irritably.Aaron lowered his hand and glanced at her. "It's just you here?"Selena yawned. "Who else would it be?"She squinted, as if remembering something. "Oh, and Russell."Aaron had started to relax, but his brow furrowed at her words. "You're saying Russell slept here?"Selena retorted, "How’s that your business?"Aaron pinched the bridge of his nose, feeling the situation ha

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
