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.

    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

    The ambulance took a while to get there, and Aveline didn't dare move Lucas, afraid she might hurt him more. As his face grew paler from the blood loss, she felt more panicked than ever before.Fear completely enveloped her as she tightly held his uninjured hand. "Lu, you have to hang in there, you absolutely can't be..."She choked up, her vision blurring with tears. "If something really happens to you, I will definitely hate you, I promise I will!"She leaned down, pressing her face against his hand, feeling his warmth. "Lucas... you have to hang in there. You can't break my heart and then leave me like this. You just can't..."The ambulance finally arrived, and Aveline followed it to the hospital.At the entrance of the emergency room, she stood in a daze until the doors opened and a nurse came out."How... how is he?" Aveline asked anxiously.The nurse replied, "Who are you? Are you a relative?"Aveline responded, "I-I'm the family member of the injured person who was just brought

    Lucas said, "If you don't get up soon, you might make my injury worse."Aveline hurriedly stood up and finally noticed his left arm was bandaged and in a sling, with gauze wrapped around his forehead. He looked rather amusing, and it seemed like he only had superficial injuries.Aveline let out a sigh of relief and then looked at him. "If you're okay, why didn't you say so earlier?"Lucas blinked innocently. "I woke up because of your crying."He had been unconscious, but his awareness gradually returned, and he heard her sobbing uncontrollably. At that moment, his heart ached deeply.He didn't disturb her, quietly watching her cry over a stranger's body as if she were pouring out her soul. Afraid she might hurt herself, he forced himself to get up and managed to catch her just as she was about to fall.Aveline was speechless.She quickly looked away and wiped her face.At that moment, a nurse walked in, seeing them standing face to face, and asked in confusion, "What are you two doing

    By evening, the business partners in Larbor City had heard about Lucas' accident and came to visit him. Aveline observed quietly from the side, not saying a word.After everyone left, she closed the door and asked, "Earlier, you mentioned the brakes failed. Do you think it was intentional?"Lucas replied, "It's possible."Aveline frowned. "Who would do such a thing? What would they gain from it?"Lucas explained, "There are many benefits. It could be someone from Cloudflare City extending their reach here. If I were to die, there would be no one to inherit the Tudor family."Currently, Lucas was the sole heir to the Tudor family. If he died, there would be no one to carry on the family line, and others would likely tear the family apart to take their share. The vast wealth and resources of the Tudor family would be a significant gain for anyone involved.Aveline's expression grew more serious. After thinking for a moment, she walked to the bedside and said firmly, "So, once we get back

    Lucas' mouth twitched slightly as he said calmly, "Brian, stop glaring at her. She's easily scared."Brian did not utter a reply and Aveline remained quiet.A faint sense of awkwardness filled the car.They soon arrived at their destination, an abandoned warehouse. Aveline got out of the car and squinted at the building. "Why are we here?"Lucas said, "The person is inside."Aveline looked at the tightly closed doors of the warehouse, her lips pressed together.Brian walked over, and the two bodyguards standing at the door greeted him with a nod, "Mr. Cooper."Brian waved his hand, and the bodyguards opened the door.Brian turned to Lucas. "Mr. Tudor, the person is inside."Lucas asked, "Did he confess?"Brian replied, "He said he'll talk when he sees you."A cold, faint smile appeared on Lucas' handsome and sharp face as he walked straight into the warehouse.Aveline hesitated but followed. She had witnessed the incident, so she needed to know who was behind it to be mentally prepare

    Daisy said, "I’ll go with you."Jolie didn’t respond, simply turning and heading toward the restroom. The restroom was spacious, and Jolie entered one of the stalls, locking the door behind her. Daisy waited near the sinks, glancing at her watch. After five minutes, her brow furrowed. “Jolie?” she called out. From inside, Jolie answered faintly, “My stomach hurts.” Daisy stepped closer to the stall. “Is it serious?” “It shouldn’t be,” Jolie replied. “I’ll be fine in a bit.” “Alright, I’ll wait outside,” Daisy said, though her expression showed growing impatience. The restroom wasn’t in the VIP lounge, so it was busier and less pristine than Daisy was used to. She stood with an air of distaste, her irritation evident in her posture. “Excuse me, whose luggage is this? One of the bags seems to be damaged,” an airport staff member said, approaching with a phone displaying a photo of the suitcase in question. Daisy glanced at the screen, her frown deepening. “It’s mine.

    It was nothing short of breaking news! If this got out, the entire company would lose their minds in an explosion of gossip! The assistant fought to keep his excitement in check, pulled out his phone, and started digging into Jolie’s situation. In less than ten minutes, he returned, his expression serious as he knocked on Gavin’s office door. “Mr. Cooper, I’ve got an update. Miss Quin is currently at the Quin family home. I also found out she’s booked on a flight tomorrow morning at 8 a.m. to Montara for a year-long program.” Gavin, who had been reviewing documents, looked up sharply, his brows furrowing. “Studying abroad?” “Yes, that’s correct,” the assistant confirmed. “The Quins booked her ticket before she was even discharged from the hospital.” Such a rushed departure—why the urgency? The assistant glanced at Gavin’s unreadable expression and cautiously asked, “Mr. Cooper, should I dig further? Maybe find out the reason for her trip?” “No need,” Gavin replied coo

    As expected.Jolie lowered her gaze slightly. Her pale face carried a fragile determination as she sat at the edge of the dining table. Her slender frame looked too weak to resist, yet the defiance in her eyes told another story.She couldn’t escape. But she wasn’t willing to give in. “I won’t break up with him,” she said, raising her eyes with a clear and unwavering resolve. Terence let out a cold laugh. “Well, you’ve got guts. You really are my daughter. Let’s see how long your resolve lasts!” With that, he abruptly stood and stormed out of the dining room. Daisy frowned at Jolie. “Jolie, why are you so stubborn? Ian Wheeler isn’t the right person for you. Why won’t you listen to us? Do you really think we’d harm you?” Jolie replied calmly, “Is what’s ‘right’ always the best?” “Of course,” Daisy said firmly. “If someone fits in every way, that’s what’s best.” “I don’t agree,” Jolie said softly, her gaze dropping as she rejected her mother’s words. “You’re being too

    Daisy’s stance was unyielding, leaving Jolie no room to argue. She took her straight back to the Quin family home and even confiscated her phone.Meanwhile, just half an hour after they left, Selena arrived at the hospital. Noticing the empty room, she froze for a moment before grabbing a nearby nurse.“Excuse me, where is the patient from this room?” Selena asked.The nurse replied, “She’s been discharged.”“Discharged?” Selena was stunned. “So soon?”It wasn’t surprising that Jolie was ready to be discharged, but Selena couldn’t believe she’d leave without saying a word. She pressed on, “Did she leave on her own?”The nurse shook her head. “No, her mother came to take her.”Selena nodded slowly, her expression darkening. So that was it. Anger flickered in Selena’s chest. Jolie had been severely injured, and Daisy hadn’t bothered to visit her in an entire month. Yet, the moment it was time for her to leave, Daisy suddenly showed up. For the longest time, Selena had assumed Jolie w

    Jolie instinctively glanced at Selena after hearing that, noticing the awkward expression on her face. After a brief pause, she suddenly called out, “Sister.”Selena shot up from her seat as if startled. “I think I’ll skip the oranges. I just remembered I have something to do. I’ll head out first,” she said quickly. Without waiting for Jolie to respond, she hurried out of the hospital room, looking like she was running from a pack of wild animals.Jackie blinked in surprise. “What was that about?”Jolie replied casually, “Maybe… she felt embarrassed.”Jackie chuckled warmly. “That’s normal, perfectly normal. When there’s tension and one side tries to make peace, the other usually feels awkward. Your relationship with Selena always seems a bit like this, doesn’t it?”Jolie lowered her gaze slightly and said softly, “She left home a long time ago.”Jackie raised her eyebrows. “Sounds like there’s been some serious conflict.”Jolie didn’t elaborate. The fact that Selena was willing to v

    The next day, Daisy came to visit Jolie. Noticing Jackie in the room, she frowned and asked, “Who are you?”Jackie replied with a friendly tone, “I’m Miss Quin’s caregiver. And you are?”Daisy’s expression shifted briefly before she responded, “You can leave now. There’s nothing for you to do here.”Jackie grew wary and glanced at Jolie for guidance. Jolie said calmly, “Jackie, I’d like some fruit.”Jackie immediately understood that Jolie was subtly asking her to step out. “Alright,” she nodded and left the room.As soon as the door closed, Daisy turned to Jolie. “Jolie, did you look into that caregiver? What’s her background? Is she reliable?”Jolie met her mother’s gaze, her tone flat. “Sure. I’ll investigate later.”Daisy hesitated for a moment as if she suddenly remembered something. “I’m sorry, Jolie. Yesterday I forgot about you. There was an issue at the company, and your father and I were tied up until late. Were you alright? You didn’t go hungry, did you?”Jolie found it la

    Upon hearing this, Jolie looked at him. "Can I refuse you?""Of course you can," Gavin replied without hesitation.Jolie eyed him skeptically, finding it hard to believe he would give in so easily.Gavin figured that even if she refused, there were still six obligations left to fulfill. Once those were over, their ties would be completely severed. He was confident that by then, she wouldn’t occupy any more of his thoughts.In his life, emotions had never been a priority. Career and power were always paramount. He had set his goals clearly from a young age. So even though he now realized he liked Jolie, he wouldn’t do anything irrational for the sake of feelings. That wasn’t who he was.Jolie’s eyes gradually brightened. She had assumed he was the kind of person who would stop at nothing to get what he wanted, resorting to forceful tactics if she disagreed. His rationality made things much simpler!"Mr. Cooper, I’m sorry," Jolie said after deliberating for a moment. "We’re not very com

    Gavin pulled out a document and handed it to her.Jolie glanced at it, her eyes widening in shock as she realized it was a detailed dossier on Ian. Staring at Gavin in disbelief, she asked, "What… what is this supposed to mean?"She didn’t even look at the contents again, her mind swirling with chaos. "To show you the kind of person you’re so adamantly defending," Gavin said coolly, his expression steady.Jolie’s grip on the bedsheet tightened as her thoughts spun out of control. She struggled to process what was happening. "Why are you doing this?" Their relationship was supposed to be simple—a transactional repayment of a favor. So why was he meddling in her life? Why investigate Ian? Why did he care so much about her relationship with Ian?A flood of questions filled her mind, and though the answer seemed obvious, she couldn’t bring herself to believe it.Gavin looked into her dark, clear eyes, finding something there he couldn’t quite decipher. It was rare for him to not unders

    Jolie closed her eyes and said weakly, "I won’t break up.""You…" Daisy was taken aback by her stubbornness. Jolie had always been the most obedient child, the one who listened without question. Yet now, she was completely unyielding.Sighing heavily, Daisy sat down beside her. At this point, there was little she could do. Terence had already lashed out, but even that didn’t make Jolie relent. If she refused to break up, what more could they do?For now, Daisy decided to leave the matter alone. If talking to Jolie wouldn’t work, perhaps convincing Ian would be the way forward."Are you hungry?" Daisy asked after a pause."No," Jolie replied faintly. The only sensation she could focus on was the pain radiating from her back. She lay on her stomach, too afraid to move.Daisy let out a soft sigh. "If you get hungry, let me know. I’ll make you whatever you want.""Mm." Jolie barely responded, closing her eyes as exhaustion pulled her into a restless sleep.…Night fell, and Jolie stirred
