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

At the hospital. After returning, Aaron animatedly recounted the events at the breakfast spot.Lucas listened for a while before suddenly interrupting him. "Did she really say that?"Aaron paused, then realized Lucas was asking about Aveline rejecting Russell. He nodded. "Yeah, she seemed a bit awkward, clearly not expecting Russell to suddenly confess to her."Lucas frowned. She didn’t like Russell.Knowing this should have made him happy. But for some reason, his mood only grew heavier.If she didn’t like Russell, could it be that she liked Sidney?The thought made his expression darken even more. The problem was, there were too many men around her, giving her plenty of options.He reached out and looked at Aaron. "Give me the phone."Aaron handed it over, asking, "What are you planning?"Lucas took the phone and dialed a number, his tone cold. "Fire Sidney."Maria, on the other end, sounded groggy, like she had just woken up. "Huh? Why?""That’s an order," Lucas replied firmly.Mar

Aaron looked puzzled. "What’s going on?"Lucas frowned. "I don’t know. Just the smell of that food makes me want to vomit."Aaron stroked his chin thoughtfully. "I’ll have someone prepare a meal and bring it over. Let’s see how you react to that."Lucas didn’t refuse, just closed his eyes wearily.---At Maple Garden, Aveline and Selena finished lunch and then settled in the living room to play video games."Help me, please! I need backup!" "Ah, we both died!""How is this jungle player so overpowered?"Selena’s constant cries of frustration filled the room. Every time they lost a game, she’d collapse on the couch, only to bounce back with renewed determination when the next round started. Aveline, on the other hand, remained calm and steady, her performance consistently average.Just then, her phone rang. Since she was in the middle of a game, she put it on speaker and continued playing while answering."Hello?"Aaron’s voice came through. "Aveline, I need a favor."Selena immediate

"That would be too much trouble," Aveline replied calmly, her nonchalant attitude clearly frustrating Aaron, who turned to Lucas, only to see him staring intently at Aveline."Lucas, you..." Aaron began."Is it still the same account number?" Lucas interrupted, getting straight to the point.Aaron was left speechless. Really, buddy? Was that how he wanted to spend his money? Aaron couldn’t help but feel exasperated.Aveline nodded. "Yes, the same one."Lucas continued, "I’ll have Desmond transfer the money. You’ll be in charge of my meals for the next month."Aveline raised an eyebrow, sensing this agreement might have been made a bit too hastily. Maybe she should have asked for ten million instead. Oh well...Aaron glanced back and forth between the two of them, finally deciding to keep his thoughts to himself. “Alright, if they’re both okay with it, who am I to interfere?” he thought.Lucas finished all the food Aveline had brought, with no sign of discomfort whatsoever.Aaron st

"Yes, that’s right." Aveline nodded, her clear eyes fixed on him. "So, are you going to sign it?"Lucas’ expression cooled as he looked away, refusing to take the divorce papers she offered.Unfazed, Aveline put the papers back in her bag. She knew it was only a matter of time before he would sign. She couldn’t help but regret not signing when he had people deliver the divorce papers every day. She must have been out of her mind back then.After Lucas finished his meal, Aveline asked again, "Will you sign now?"Lucas gave her a cold stare. "If I don’t sign, are you going to ask me every day?""Yes," Aveline replied firmly.Lucas clenched his teeth slightly. "Aveline, I’ve told you before—I’m not going to divorce you."Aveline shrugged. "But what’s the point of staying married? I don’t love you."In the past, he found that statement laughable. Love? What did that matter? He didn’t need it. But now, hearing her say it so calmly, his chest tightened painfully, making it hard to breathe.H

Lucas looked at Yvonne coldly. "For example?"Yvonne felt a surge of irritation. Lucas had never shown her the respect she believed she was owed as his elder, but now, with the Tudor family in chaos, the future rested entirely in the hands of the young man standing before her.Suppressing her temper, she spoke calmly, "I am the lady of the Tudor family, and as such, I should maintain the dignity of that position. Nothing about my status should change.""Hah!" Lucas let out a mocking laugh. "You certainly have a vivid imagination."Yvonne frowned at him. "Lucas, what do you mean by that? I've never treated you poorly. Are you really going to repay my kindness with betrayal?"Lucas' expression turned icy. "Do you even believe the words coming out of your mouth?"Yvonne was momentarily at a loss for words but quickly recovered. "I can offer you some information in exchange.""Let's hear it."Yvonne revealed, "Leo is still alive. Your father has already tracked him down. If it weren't for

Selena and Aveline both breathed easier after hearing the news. As long as he wasn’t involved in anything shady, they could relax.The incident was quickly forgotten, and once Aveline recovered, she returned to work. She was currently handling just one project for Lucas, visiting the construction site daily to oversee the progress and making on-the-spot adjustments when necessary.One day, as she was leaving the site, she noticed a man sitting on a bench by the roadside. As she approached, the man suddenly slid off the bench and collapsed right in front of her.Startled, Aveline instinctively took a step back, glancing around to see if anyone else was nearby. The area was nearly deserted, with few people or cars in sight. Why was this man here? And why did he faint?Not daring to approach, she immediately called the ambulance. When the ambulance arrived, she was asked to accompany him to the hospital since payment was required.Reluctantly, Aveline sat beside the man in the ambulance,

Under Aveline’s expectant gaze, Lucas picked up the divorce agreement and tore it to shreds.Aveline’s disappointment was evident, and she added with a hint of regret, “You know, it costs a lot to make copies of these.”She gave him a disapproving look. “If you didn’t want to sign, you could’ve just handed it back to me.”Lucas was speechless.He stared at her blankly, only to watch as she pulled another divorce agreement out of her bag."Want to sign this one?"Her clear eyes met his, waiting for his response.Lucas' mouth twitched as he asked, "How many copies of this do you have?"Aveline replied, "Not too many, just about a hundred."Lucas was at a loss for words.Great. The whole situation felt eerily familiar as if it had happened before.Aveline sighed softly. "You know, it would be so much easier if you just signed. Then we wouldn’t have to keep dragging this out."Ignoring her, Lucas simply asked, "Where’s the food?"Aveline handed him the lunchbox.Lucas began eating without

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
