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

    Maria looked at the two little ones, absolutely delighted, and then turned to Aveline. "I’ve got some happy news to share as well."Selena guessed, "You're pregnant?"Maria nodded. "That’s right."Selena gave her a thumbs-up. "Wow, that was fast! You said it and made it happen."Maria smiled. "I couldn’t fall too far behind. I need to make sure my kid has the best opportunities and chances, right?" With their babies close in age to Ethan and Emma, Maria thought it would be perfect for them to grow up together, maybe even become childhood sweethearts.She looked at Selena and asked, "Weren’t you eager at first too? Why haven’t you made any moves yet?"Selena sighed. "I’m not sure. Honestly, I’m a little scared."Maria reassured her, "Take your time, no rush."Selena got up and left the room, heading outside for some fresh air. Seeing Aveline go through the struggles of pregnancy and the dangers of childbirth genuinely frightened her. On top of that, she worried she wouldn’t be a good m

    At first, the twin really did look quite wrinkly and not very cute, but as time passed, they started to fill out and became more and more beautiful. The baby boy had a calm demeanor, rarely crying or fussing. He spent most of his time either eating or sleeping, with large, dark eyes like black grapes, a high nose, a tiny mouth, and chubby, round cheeks full of baby fat.The baby girl, on the other hand, was much more lively and prone to fussing, expressing her displeasure whenever things didn’t go her way. She cried the most between the two.The baby boy was born first, and the girl was the younger sister. Every time, the sister seemed determined to make her brother cry, but she never succeeded. Once fed, she would calm down.“Have you thought of any names for them yet?” Selena asked, looking at Aveline, who was slowly recovering, while playfully toying with the little ones in the stroller.Aveline replied, "We’ve chosen some temporary nicknames, but we haven’t settled on their full n

    Aveline said, "Braden is probably not interested."“Huh? Why?” Selena asked, confusion spreading across her face.Aveline explained, “Baron, Braden, and Maria all have a special bond with Lucas. No matter what, they wouldn’t betray him.”She paused for a moment, her thoughts drifting to Brian, the man who had always seen it as his duty to protect Lucas. She wondered how he was faring now.Selena shrugged. “Alright, I suppose. He’s helped me a lot recently, and if it weren’t for him, I wouldn’t have handled everything so smoothly.”Aveline replied, “It’s all over now. Taking him with you wouldn’t really serve any purpose.”“True,” Selena agreed, nodding as she let go of the subject.She ended up staying in Larbor City for a month. One night, Aveline suddenly went into labor. The family rushed to action—though there was some initial chaos, they quickly regained control. Drivers got the car ready, calls to the hospital were made, and everything unfolded smoothly.At the hospital, Lucas h

    To mitigate the impact of the incident, the Fletcher family arranged a marriage with the Skyler family, setting the wedding date for just one month later, a rather hasty decision. Aaron officially became the head of the Fletcher family, and despite any grievances Nathalie might have had, she didn’t dare voice them, keeping her frustration to herself.Selena, on the other hand, finally had some leisure time. With Aaron busier than ever, she felt bored and decided to visit Aveline in Larbor City.Aveline’s belly had grown quite large, and with just a month left until her due date, her feet had started swelling, looking puffy and rounded like little pillows. Seeing her condition, Selena couldn't help but remark, "Pregnancy looks so tough. I'm starting to get a little scared."Aveline glanced at her. "Are you planning to get pregnant?"As far as she remembered, Selena had never mentioned such plans.Selena nodded, then shared the idea she had previously about arranging a marriage between

    Aaron held her hand and led her directly out of the room upstairs.Meanwhile, inside the room, Nathalie had someone forcibly separate the two entangled people. Ernest looked utterly disheveled, still trying to grab onto Lila and continue.Lila, now slightly regaining her senses, realized the situation. She let out a piercing scream, wrapped herself in the blanket, and cried out in distress."How could this happen? Why did it turn out like this? Why am I here? Mom, wasn't that bitch Selena supposed to be in this room? Why is it me? Why me!"The sensation in her body was undeniable, and seeing Ernest in his dazed state, she could already imagine how wild things had been between them. Worse yet, many people had witnessed it!This scene was supposed to fall on Selena!What went wrong?Nathalie hugged her, trying to calm her down, "Don’t get worked up, Lila. You can’t afford to get upset right now. It’s okay, mom’s here with you. I’ll take care of this."But Lila was inconsolable, sobbing u

    The servant stood frozen in shock, unable to comprehend what had just unfolded. How... how could this have happened? How did Lila end up in the room instead of Selena?She distinctly remembered helping Selena into that very room and watching as the family doctor applied the patch to her ankle. The patch, once applied for more than a minute, should have released the drug into Selena's system, gradually taking effect. But now everything had gone terribly wrong.Pale and trembling, the servant knew that her role in this failed scheme had been exposed. There would be no good outcome for her. She began to retreat, hoping to slip away unnoticed."Leaving so soon?"A lazy, magnetic voice suddenly spoke from behind her.Startled, she spun around to see Aaron standing in the doorway. His tall, imposing figure blocked the exit, preventing anyone from leaving easily."I... I..." The servant stammered, unable to form a coherent sentence, trapped in her fear.Aaron’s expression remained neutral, b

    "Such a big issue has to be cleared up, don’t you think, Aaron? What if someone is deliberately trying to smear your wife’s name?" "Exactly! We’ve all met your wife—she’s beautiful and sharp. There’s no way she’d do anything to betray you.""We need to open the door and clear up any misunderstandings before things get out of hand."The crowd voiced their concerns, their words filled with feigned sympathy, but their eyes gleamed with anticipation.Kendrick arrived just behind Aaron, and upon hearing the whispers, his expression darkened."Who said this?" The servant timidly raised her hand. "I... I did."His voice hardened. "Are you sure of what you saw?"Though visibly frightened, the servant nodded firmly. "I’m sure.""I don’t think she’s lying.”"Maybe it’s true. If it is, then she really couldn’t keep herself in check, especially at Lila’s birthday party. How shameless.""Unbelievable! With a husband like Aaron, she’s still not satisfied? I can’t understand women like that."A few

    "What’s going on?" Nathalie’s brow furrowed as she took in the situation. She immediately called over the servant who had been with Selena earlier. "Is Selena in that room?"The servant nodded nervously. "Yes, I helped Mrs. Fletcher into the room."Nathalie’s expression hardened. "Then why won’t the door open?"The servant’s face turned pale, her eyes darting around anxiously. She stammered, "Madam, maybe it’s best not to disturb Mrs. Fletcher. She just needs to rest, and I’m sure she’ll come out soon.""Why are you acting so suspicious?" someone nearby asked. "And why weren’t you inside taking care of her?"Nathalie narrowed her eyes, scrutinizing the servant. Suddenly, her tone sharpened. "Why are you hiding something? Tell me what’s really going on!"The servant flinched under Nathalie’s gaze, her face paling even more. Trembling, she said, "Madam, I-I don’t know for sure. I was with Mrs. Fletcher, but then she asked me to leave… I didn’t go far, I was keeping an eye on things in

    After speaking, the servant promptly left the suite, standing guard outside.Selena smirked, her eyes hardening with a cold glint.She stayed in the room for a while, eventually deciding to get up and leave. But as she stood, a wave of dizziness hit her out of nowhere.Frowning, Selena called out, "Come here!"The servant appeared but kept her distance. "Mrs. Fletcher, what do you need?""I don’t feel right. Go get the family doctor."The servant’s eyes flickered with something unreadable before she replied, "Of course, I’ll fetch him right away."She turned and hurried off.Selena sat at the edge of the bed, focusing on regaining her composure. She slowly made her way to the balcony, opened the doors, and breathed in the fresh air. Instantly, she felt better.That patch definitely had something off about it!"Miss Selena," a hushed voice called out.Startled, Selena turned to see Braden standing at the windowsill of the adjacent room, blending into the shadows of the night.Surprised,
