Chapter 550

Author: Riverflow
Selena couldn’t sleep at all. Lying in bed, she felt a mix of nervousness and excitement. The thought of finally leaving Cloudflare City—and getting away from that insufferable Aaron—filled her with anticipation. She found herself practically counting down the minutes.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

Suddenly, loud knocks came from the front door, startling Selena. She quickly got up and looked toward the door. The young girl with her woke up, confused. "What's happening?"

A sinking feeling of dread washed over Selena. Could they have found her already?

So soon?

She got out of bed and said, "I’ll go check. You two stay here."

The girl looked uneasy. "Selena, are you sure everything’s okay?"

Selena nodded. "Don’t worry, it’ll be fine."

She quickly dressed and stepped outside.

"Who is it?" she asked cautiously.

"It’s me, Selena. Hurry, come out!"

It was Aveline’s voice at the door.

Selena was taken aback and quickly opened the door. "Ave, what are you doing here?"

Hadn’t she already gone home? B

    And yet, she had no relationship with him.The car came to a stop, and the light in Aveline's eyes gradually dimmed."Selena, do you like him?" Aveline asked softly.Selena replied, "No, I don't."Aaron had targeted her so many times that she had lost count. It was just a few casual encounters—how could she possibly like him?Aveline responded with a nod, then quickly opened the car door and got out."Ave, where are you going?" Selena, seeing this, also stepped out of the car.At this moment, they found themselves surrounded by several vehicles, with the bright headlights illuminating the small area around them.Aaron slammed his car door shut. Seeing Selena stepping out of Aveline's car, he immediately burst into laughter.He strode over, his presence radiating a dangerous aura.Aveline swiftly pulled Selena behind her, her gaze calm as she looked at Aaron. "What are you doing, Mr. Fletcher?"Aaron was dressed in a white shirt, the collar open, and his body still carried the scent of

    "You!" Aveline's expression darkened. Aaron's attitude made it clear he saw Selena as nothing more than a plaything.If that was the case, there was no way she would let Aaron take Selena away tonight."Fine, let her go. You have no right to take her, and even less right to interfere with her freedom," Aveline said coldly.Aaron raised an eyebrow. "Aveline, I'm being civil because of Lucas. Do you think too highly of yourself?"Aveline's gaze remained icy. "You don't need to consider him at all. I have nothing to lose. If you insist on taking her, you'll have to go through me first."There was a fierce determination in her eyes. She was resolute in protecting Selena. Selena was her only family now.Moved by Aveline's resolve, Selena suddenly bit down hard on Aaron's hand, causing him to release her in pain.Selena quickly ran to Aveline's side. "Ave, I won't go with him!"Aveline nodded. "I’ll protect you."Selena was overwhelmed with emotion, nearly ready to pledge her life to Aveli

    "Is that so? Was I mistaken?" Aveline thought before replying, "Alright, I understand. Get some rest; I won't be going out today.""Okay, Miss Young."...After a quick wash, Aveline lay down on her bed. Her mind was still a mess, but her body was exhausted, and she quickly fell asleep.When she woke up, it was already afternoon.She picked up her phone and saw numerous messages from Selena, all detailing her escape plan.Aveline replied briefly, then got up to wash her face before heading to the kitchen to cook.Just then, the doorbell suddenly rang.Aveline paused, her expression turning cold. Who would come at this hour?She walked to the door and looked through the peephole. Upon seeing who it was, her face became even more indifferent.She ignored it and continued cooking.After waiting for a while, Lucas realized Aveline wasn't going to answer the door.Undeterred, he kept knocking, showing remarkable patience.It was only after about half an hour that the door finally opened.Av

    Aveline eyed him warily, his dark, piercing gaze fixed on her as if she were already his prey.Memories of past traumas resurfaced, and she bit her lip, suddenly raising the kitchen knife to her own throat."You're right, I don't dare to hurt you, but that doesn't mean I won't harm myself. Lucas, if you take one more step, I'll cut myself. Let's see if you can keep talking like this while facing a corpse!"Lucas stopped in his tracks, the playful expression vanishing from his face as he glared at her, his gaze dark and intense. "Put the knife down!"Instead of lowering the knife, Aveline pressed it closer to her neck, stubbornly saying, "Get out! You're not welcome here!"Lucas remained still, his gaze locked on her with a menacing intensity.Seeing his hesitation, Aveline gritted her teeth and pressed the blade even closer. Her delicate skin barely brushed the knife's edge, which had been sharpened—just a slight touch and it immediately left a thin line of blood on her slender, pale n

    "Do you know why Aaron found you both so quickly?" Lucas asked.Upon hearing this, Aveline stopped in her tracks. She slowly turned around, her face filled with disbelief. "It was you?"Lucas smirked. "That's right."He approached Aveline with a cigarette between his fingers. Seeing her face pale from shock, he gently caressed it. His tone was low and soft, like a lover's whisper, but his words were incredibly cruel."Did you really think I'd let anyone who could keep you company slip away? Face it, Aveline. Selena's trapped, and so are you. There's no escape for either of you."Aveline was furious. She raised her hand to slap him, but Lucas caught her wrist effortlessly. He looked into her angry eyes."Aveline, things between us won't end so easily. Have you heard the phrase 'till death do us part'?"Aveline was trembling with rage, her whole body shaking.It was him! Why would he do this? How could he?Selena was so close to leaving! She could have escaped a fate similar to Aveline'

    A cold, shadowed look darkened Lucas' eyes as he watched her pale face and heard her murmurs. He scoffed. Love? What did it matter? As long as she remained by his side, love was irrelevant.At Maple Garden, Lucas carried Aveline upstairs, used her finger to unlock the door, and strode inside. He went straight to the bathroom and began running hot water in the tub. Once it was ready, he gently placed her in the bath, and the tension in her furrowed brow eased slightly.She was already running a fever. First, he needed to warm her up and then give her medicine.Lucas carefully bathed her, then wrapped her in a towel and carried her out. As he dressed her in clean pajamas, he couldn't help but notice her delicate curves and smooth, ivory skin. His gaze darkened, and he found himself swallowing hard more than once.When it was time to take the medicine, Aveline's body instinctively resisted, her lips refusing to part.Lucas lost patience. He placed the pill in his own mouth, grasped

    Aveline stood still, not moving an inch.Lucas let out a cold laugh, pulling her back onto the bed, his heavy body pinning her down, his hot breath washing over her.But Aveline remained unresponsive.Just as his breath was only inches from her cheek, Lucas suddenly stopped, staring into her overly cold eyes. An inexplicable sense of defeat washed over him.The air between them grew thick and tense.Noticing his hesitation, Aveline shoved him aside and got out of bed. "Lucas, maybe all you’re interested in is my body. But what if my body won’t react to you anymore? What if nothing you do can stir me anymore?"She walked to the door, glancing back at him. "How defeated would you feel if that happened?"With a mocking smile, she left the bedroom.Lucas leaned against the headboard, his face dark and stormy, his mood plummeting.What did she mean? Her body wouldn’t react to him? Ridiculous! He knew exactly how sensitive she was—he had a thousand ways to make her respond!But as he thoug

    "You're insane!" A trace of fear appeared in Aveline's eyes, completely unprepared for how far Lucas would go in his madness.Lucas noticed the shift in her emotions, and a fleeting complexity crossed his deep gaze. He leaned in closer, kissing her lips with a tender intimacy, as if they were lovers lost in the moment.But the more gentle he was, the more Aveline's fear grew, trembling from deep within her soul.Suddenly, she pushed him away.Lucas didn't get angry; instead, he stared at her lips, as if still savoring the moment.Aveline steadied herself and asked, "Why did you help Sophia?""Hmm?"Lucas paused at her question, and after a brief thought, he realized she must have misunderstood something related to what Brian had done.So, she was acting this way because she thought he helped Sophia?"I didn’t help her," Lucas replied calmly.Aveline looked at him with disdain, unable to believe he was playing dumb at this point."Lucas, you can’t even admit to what you've done.

    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
