The banquet was held in a villa estate.A red carpet stretched from inside the estate all the way to the entrance, with vehicles stopping at the end of the red carpet, and elegantly dressed people stepping out of the cars.Lucas' car soon stopped as well. Aveline reached out to open the door, but he held her back."What are you doing?"She looked at him in confusion.Lucas, slightly exasperated, said, "Wait a moment. You need to take my arm. We can't let people see that we're not getting along."Aveline asked, "Is that really necessary?"Lucas replied, "We are a married couple.""Oh, add money," Aveline said bluntly.Lucas responded, "Are you making a living out of this?"Aveline laughed. "You just realized that?"Lucas gave her a deep look and said, "We'll settle it when we get back."Aveline wanted to say more, but at that moment, the car door opened, and she had to keep quiet.She couldn't continue the argument; if he got upset, her path to wealth would be cut off.Lucas got out of

Seeing the delicious food in front of her, Aveline's eyes lit up.She picked up a few snacks and quietly ate them in the nearby lounge area.Several women had already started chatting over there.Since they were talking about Larbor City, Aveline wasn't interested because she didn't know much about it."Hey, have you seen Mr. Lucas? He's the third son of Frederick Tudor from Cloudflare City, the one who was in a coma and then went missing for a year.""Yeah, I saw him. I heard his childhood friend saved him, but her leg got broken. Then he lost his memory and was found by another woman. When she found out who he was, she refused to divorce him.""Hah! That's the Tudor family. If you can hold on to Mr. Lucas, you can rise to the top. Who would want a divorce?""Isn't his childhood friend pitiful? She saved him, broke her leg, and she still couldn’t be with him. That woman must be shameless, clinging to a man who doesn't love her."Aveline was speechless.Listening to their conversation,

Aveline paused for a moment, then looked at her and said, "Thank you."Judy smiled. "You're welcome. Follow me."Judy led her upstairs to a large room and pulled out several dresses from the walk-in closet, saying, "These are all unworn. Pick one."Aveline pointed to a black dress similar to the one she was wearing, "I'll take this one. Let's exchange contacts, so I can return it to you after I wash it or buy you a new one."Judy smiled. "No need, it's just a dress. Go ahead and change, I'll wait outside."Aveline nodded. "Okay."The walk-in closet door closed.Aveline looked at the dress similar to her own, her eyes glimmering.After a moment, she opened the door, smiling. "It fits perfectly, thank you."Judy nodded. "I’m glad you like it. I think Mr. Lucas is looking for you.""Really? I'll go find him then." Aveline said immediately, then turned and went downstairs.But as soon as she reached the bottom and started looking for Lucas, the music in the entire villa hall suddenly quiet

The butler's face darkened further. "Ma'am, if you don't cooperate, I have reason to suspect you stole the pearl earrings, so...""Do you have any evidence?" Aveline asked directly.The butler said, "You were the last to leave Miss Thompson's room, so you are the prime suspect...""Do you have any evidence?" Aveline repeated, her beautiful eyes filling with coldness.People around began to look at Aveline with increasing disdain."Isn't she Mr. Lucas' wife?""No, she's just an ordinary person who happened to marry Mr. Lucas when he lost his memory. Once she found out his identity, she refused to divorce him.""No wonder she'd steal Miss Thompson's pearl earrings. Women like her are disgusting!"Aveline remained quiet.The butler frowned. "Since you won't cooperate, don't blame me for being rude. Search her!"The servants immediately moved to conduct a body search on Aveline."What are you doing?"At that moment, a deep, magnetic voice echoed, and the murmurs of the crowd fell silent.L

At this moment, Lucas' aura suddenly became sharp and intimidating, his piercing eyes holding a cold, ghostly light as he looked at the butler as if he were a dead man.The butler felt an overwhelming pressure descend upon him. He wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and quickly looked at Aveline."Mrs. Tudor, I sincerely apologize. I was too hasty and offended you. Please be magnanimous and forgive me this time."He bowed deeply, his attitude now extremely respectful, a stark contrast to his earlier domineering demeanor.Lucas, however, didn't let Aveline speak. His tone remained cold, "Do you think just a few words can earn my wife's forgiveness? Do you deserve it?"The butler was taken aback and asked, "Mr. Tudor, what do you want me to do?"Lucas replied, "If you have to ask how to apologize, it shows you have no sincerity. Since the butler from the Thompson family acts like this, doesn’t it mean that everyone in the Thompson family behaves the same way?"Hearing this, the butler

The car was already waiting outside.Once inside the car, Aveline hesitated. "We're just leaving like this?"Lucas replied, "What, should we stay for breakfast tomorrow?"Aveline kept quiet.It was pointless trying to talk to him properly!There was a brief silence in the car.Back at the hotel, Aveline went into the room first to change clothes and take a shower.When she came out wrapped in a bathrobe, she saw Lucas on the phone, his expression gentle, and she could vaguely hear him calling someone "Sophia."Aveline turned around and went back to her room.What bad luck.Lying on the bed with her phone, she couldn't sleep no matter how much she tossed and turned.Her mind kept replaying the scene of Lucas standing in front of her, dealing with the Thompson’s family butler.So handsome!So charming.But soon, her thoughts shifted to him talking to Sophia.Such a jerk.She felt like stabbing him.Frustrated, Aveline covered her head with a pillow, her whole body filled with conflicting

Lucas said, "If you don't want to go out, then just stay home."After saying this, he stood up and walked towards the room."Bang!"Aveline slammed her fork on the table with force. She was so angry that she lost her appetite! Why couldn't he talk about this matter properly? It really infuriated her!At that moment, her phone rang. After calming down, she picked it up to see it was a call from Selena."Ave, where are you?" Selena's lazy voice came through.Aveline replied, "Larbor City."Selena said, "Larbor City is nice. The churches there are said to be quite effective. Do you want to go ask for some blessings? And while you're at it, pray for me too, hehe."Aveline's eyes brightened, "Sure, I'll stay an extra day."Selena said, "I just miss you. Hurry back.""Okay," Aveline responded.The call ended quickly.Lucas soon came out. Aveline stood up and said, "I'm going to the church."Lucas looked at her, his eyes unreadable. "Shall I accompany you?""Sure." Aveline nodded.Lucas respo

Lucas' expression was icy, his gaze fixed ahead. "The brakes have failed."Aveline's eyes widened in shock. She quickly grabbed the handle, "What... what do we do now?"Lucas replied, "We might actually die together."Aveline's heart nearly leaped out of her chest. She suddenly said, "If that's the case, won't Miss Winter be really sad?"Lucas glanced at her. "Why are you thinking about someone else at a time like this?""Watch the road!" Aveline struggled to stay calm, trying not to distract Lucas."What else? You keep thinking about being responsible for her. She really is quite pitiful, losing her leg to save you and waiting for you all this time, only for you to die with me."Aveline couldn't help but imagine the scene, feeling that Sophia would be devastated."And what about you?" Lucas asked in a deep voice.Her? What about her? She hadn't lost a limb, only a deeply heartfelt love.Aveline suddenly felt like laughing, "I don't want to be like those TV drama female leads who end u

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
