At that moment, Lucas's phone rang. He tapped his Bluetooth headset, his heart racing.Desmond's urgent voice crackled through, "Mr. Tudor, we've located your wife. She's being held in an abandoned factory near the forest on the west side of the city."Lucas' handsome face tightened even further, his eyes bloodshot as he stared ahead. His voice was cold as he said, "Go to the shareholders' meeting for me. You don't need to do anything, just make sure those old men there stay calm."Desmond hesitated briefly before replying, "...Alright."The pressure was immense.After a pause, Desmond added, "By the way, Maria found out that Russell is also heading there with his men.""I know," Lucas replied curtly before ending the call.At the abandoned factory, Aveline adjusted herself into a more comfortable sitting position. Her hair was disheveled, and her body was covered in dust. Her clear, cold eyes were fixed on Darren, who was still toying with the lighter."Why did you kidnap Lucas and hi

"Aveline, don't be afraid! I'll get you out of there!" Russell's voice echoed through the factory."Hey!" Darren snapped, his eyes narrowing to slits. "What am I, invisible? You're shouting like that right in front of me?"Russell's gaze shifted, locking onto Darren. His voice turned cold. "So, you contacted Lucas and demanded money from him. But even if I pay you and he doesn't, you still won't let her go, will you?"Darren replied, "That’s right."He continued to fiddle with the lighter, opening and closing it, making everyone tense with anxiety.Russell’s expression remained cold. "Kidnapping and extortion are crimes. You just got out, do you really want to go back to jail again?"Darren laughed. "As long as you pay up and help me get away, how could I get caught?"His eyes gleamed with a hint of madness. "Hurry up and decide. My patience is running out."Russell turned to his men. "Go to the bank and transfer the money." Then he looked back at Darren. "Give me your account number.

Darren's expression darkened, his grip on the knife tightening as emotions churned in his eyes. "I don’t know what you’re talking about. I want money, and I want to get out of here—nothing else matters!"Russell was about to say more, but his phone rang again, persistently interrupting him. With a furrowed brow, he answered, "Rina, what is it?"Rina’s voice was filled with tears, "Russ, come back, please come back! I’m hurt, it hurts so much."Russell asked calmly, "Have you called for an ambulance?"Her sobbing intensified. "I did, but Russ, I need you here with me. I can only feel safe with you by my side. Please, come now, okay?"Russell, trying to remain patient, responded, "Rina, I’m in the middle of something important. I’ll come to you as soon as I’m done, alright?"But Rina was insistent. "No! You have to come now! If you don’t, I’ll tell my grandfather to cancel our cooperation. Russ, don’t make me do this!"Russell’s eyes, usually warm and inviting, turned cold. "Fine, I’ll c

Lucas looked at Aveline. "Can you run?""I can." Aveline nodded.Lucas tightened his grip on her hand and glanced up at the precarious beams above. His eyes filled with cold determination as he commanded, "Run!"They sprinted towards the exit together!The flames licked at their clothes, but they ignored it, focusing solely on the escape route ahead.“Crack...”Suddenly, the sound of wood splintering echoed above them.Aveline’s heart clenched, but before she could react, Lucas shoved her forward forcefully.“Crash!”The sound of something heavy collapsing followed, momentarily smothering the flames.Aveline’s face turned pale as she spun around, only to see Lucas trapped beneath a fallen beam!The fire had already started to consume him."Lucas!" Aveline screamed, rushing back towards him.Seeing Lucas pinned beneath the beam, her heart shattered. The emotional walls she had built crumbled, and tears streamed down her face."Go, run!" Lucas shouted at her as she approached.But as he

Aveline’s eyelashes fluttered, but she remained silent. Selena was stunned, having never imagined that Lucas had such a tragic past. She opened her mouth to say something but thought better of it and remained quiet. Instead, she focused on Aveline, knowing that whatever decision needed to be made would ultimately be up to her.The room fell into a quiet stillness.After what felt like an eternity, the doors to the emergency room finally opened, and Lucas was wheeled out.Aaron stepped forward and asked, "How is he?"Aveline stood up as well, but as she did, her body wobbled slightly. Selena quickly steadied her, preventing her from falling.The doctor replied, "He has two broken ribs but no other major injuries. He just needs time to recover."Lucas was moved to a VIP room.Aaron arranged for 24-hour care to be provided by a nurse.Standing by the bedside, Aveline gazed at the still-unconscious Lucas for a long moment before reaching out and gently poking his face."Lucas, does it hu

Upon hearing this, Aveline quickly sat up, but she soon collected herself and replied, "He’s in the hospital. The doctors should be taking care of him."Aaron's tone grew colder. "But he’s been calling out your name, Aveline. After everything you two have been through, I know you're about to divorce, but that doesn’t mean you have to cut each other off completely. He’s injured because of you—don’t you think you should be here for him?"Aveline closed her eyes for a moment before replying, "I’m on my way."After hanging up, she changed clothes, grabbed her car keys, and left.When she arrived at the hospital, the doctors were attending to Lucas."Ave... Ave..." As she approached, she heard him murmuring her name.Aveline paused, hesitating for a moment before walking over and taking his hand. "Lucas, I’m here."The next second, his grip tightened around hers, and the murmuring stopped. His condition seemed to stabilize.Seeing this, Aaron said, "Stay with him until his fever breaks."A

Lucas closed his eyes, clearly looking exhausted. Aveline watched him for a moment without saying anything, then turned and left the room.She was hungry and decided to go out for breakfast.While she was at the breakfast spot, Selena called her."Ave, where did you disappear to so early in the morning?""I’m at the hospital," Aveline replied.Selena paused, then asked, "Are you there to check if he’s still alive and able to make it to court?"Aveline gave a slight smirk. "Real funny, Selena."Selena teased, "Otherwise, I can’t figure out why you’d be at the hospital this early. It couldn’t be for love, right?"Aveline took a sip of her porridge and said, "I came over last night.""So, you’re really doing it out of love," Selena teased again.Selena’s playful banter lifted Aveline’s spirits a little. She gave a brief rundown of the situation.Selena offered her opinion, "He’s a clever one. He’s definitely doing it on purpose, and the worst part is, he’s got every reason to. That’s what

Russell instinctively wanted to go after her, but Aaron stepped in, blocking his path."Mr. Skyler, didn’t you notice she just turned you down? Chasing after her now would make you seem desperate," Aaron remarked with a smirk.Russell’s tone was cold. "What does this have to do with you?"Aaron raised an eyebrow. "How does it not? They’re still married, and she’s my friend’s wife. With my friend lying in a hospital bed, I can’t just stand by and watch you try to steal her away."He looked Russell up and down with disdain, his voice laced with contempt. "Let’s be real—if it were someone decent trying to win her over, I might step back. But you? Juggling Rina to secure your spot in the Skyler family while cozying up to Aveline—doesn’t that make you feel even a little bit disgusted?"Russell’s expression darkened further.Aaron patted his shoulder, adding, "I’ve seen some low moves in my time, but you, Russell, take the cake."With that, Aaron turned and walked away, feeling quite satisfi

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
