After the CEO Divorced Me, He Wants Me Back Chapter 683
Lucas's voice turned icy. "If you don’t fire him, you can kiss your studio goodbye."But Maria remained unfazed. "Go ahead, but if I lose my studio, Aveline loses her job. And once she discovers our connection, she’ll never forgive you."Lucas was momentarily speechless.His subordinates had become defiant.Maria, sensing her advantage, continued with a smug smile, "Boss, Sidney's actually quite decent. But don’t worry, nothing you’re concerned about will happen because I've got my eye on him."That seemed to put Lucas at ease.He ended the call without another word. Maria looked at her phone, unable to suppress a grin. She glanced up and saw Sidney diligently working on a drawing outside her office....Aveline drove back to Maple Garden, and sure enough, she spotted the man standing at the entrance of the complex.Selena was inside, arms crossed. When she saw Aveline’s car pull up, she quickly ran over.Aveline parked the car, got out, and asked, "When did you spot him?"Selena repli

But he wasn’t Lucas.She had no intention of repeating her past mistakes."I don’t know you. Either I help you report this to the police, or I’m going home," Aveline said coldly.The man continued to stare at her, his eyes resembling Lucas’. However, unlike Lucas' intense gaze, his eyes were filled with a pitiable innocence, as pure as a blank slate.Aveline turned to leave. "Let’s go home."Selena followed her, asking, "Are you really going to leave him there?"Aveline responded, "Why should I care?"Selena teased, "I thought you might take him in, maybe relive some old feelings. After all, situations like this don’t happen every day."Aveline sighed. "Do I look like I have that much free time?"Selena chuckled, glancing back to see the man still standing there, watching them, looking every bit like a lost puppy."He’s still looking at us," Selena noted.Aveline got into the car. "You go ahead. I’ll park the car.""Okay."Once Aveline returned to her apartment, she collapsed onto the

Lucas' expression froze, his sharp eyes fixed on her. "You're really not renewing the contract?"Aveline shook her head. "No, I don't need the money anymore."Lucas was momentarily speechless.If money wasn’t enough to sway her, what else could he offer to keep her?His health was gradually improving, and the court hearing was only a matter of time. He could choose to avoid it indefinitely, but that wasn’t a real solution.What he wanted was to grow closer to her, not to maintain this fragile façade of calm.Their relationship felt too delicate as if it could shatter with the slightest touch.Aveline packed up the lunchbox and left without giving him a second glance.There was no hesitation in her departure.Lucas leaned back against the headboard, tilting his head slightly and closing his eyes. His Adam’s apple bobbed as he swallowed, and a heavy, oppressive atmosphere settled around him.Just then, his phone rang. He answered it. "Hello?"Desmond's voice came through, "Mr. Tudor, the

"Come in," Lucas said flatly, his voice devoid of emotion.The door opened, and Judy walked in. Seeing that his complexion had improved, she stood by the bed, her gaze filled with a mix of emotions."I never imagined you could be so calculating," Judy finally spoke, offering her assessment.Lucas looked at her coolly. "We both got what we needed. Isn’t it a bit late to be discussing this now?"During their collaboration with DK Group, the Thompson family had reaped numerous benefits, yet now she was here to accuse him of being manipulative.Judy clenched the bag in her hand. "Lucas, I genuinely wanted to get along with you, so why did you use me?"Lucas remained indifferent. "Is there anything else you need?"Judy, however, continued, "You used me to provoke Aveline, but what was the result? She doesn’t care about you at all. So, what if you’ve gained so much? Aveline still wants to divorce you!"She aimed for his most vulnerable spot with her words, knowing they would sting.She truly

Aveline fumed at the thought of Lucas brazenly living here, acting like he was a victim dragged into this mess by her. The nerve of that man! He would stop at nothing to achieve his goals. He was secretly plotting to seize control of the Tudor family’s company, yet he played the part of a pitiable figure cast out in front of her. "How despicable!"She slammed a pillow with such force that it became misshapen.“Hey, babe, what did that poor pillow ever do to you?” came Selena's hesitant voice.Aveline closed her eyes and took a deep breath. "I’m just frustrated and needed to vent."Selena approached her. “Well, venting like that isn’t going to help much. How about I take you somewhere fun?”Aveline looked over at her. “What kind of place?”Selena grinned mischievously. “Come on, let's get dressed up first.”By the time they were ready, the sky had already darkened. Selena, gazing at the exquisite makeup on Aveline's face, couldn’t help but admire her. “Ave, you’re stunning even wit

The man's tie hung loosely around his neck, and there was an untamed, primal energy about him as if he was about to break free from the shackles of restraint. His appearance elicited screams from many of the women in the crowd.Selena excitedly grabbed Aveline's arm. “He’s so hot! I really want to feel his abs. I bet they’re amazing to touch.”Aveline watched the man for a moment but felt no particular excitement.With the rhythm of the music, the man began to dance, and each time the beat hit a crescendo, he removed another piece of clothing. First, it was the tie.Then, the shirt.And finally, the belt.By the end, he was bare-chested, finishing the dance with nothing on his upper body.The lights shifted again. He picked up a microphone, and as the music started once more, he began to sing. Moving forward, he reached out, grasping a woman's hand, interlacing his fingers with hers. His gaze was intense and affectionate as if each lyric was a declaration of love meant just for her.A

“Hey, beautiful, the night is still young. Where are you heading? Why don’t you stay and have a few drinks with us?” The man with dyed blonde hair, clearly the leader, smirked as he eyed Aveline and Selena. His gaze lingered, clearly captivated by their beauty.Aveline frowned. “Not tonight, maybe another time.”She grabbed Selena's hand and tried to move past them. But the leader swiftly blocked their path. “So, when would be a good time, then? We’re not asking for much, just hoping to make friends with two beautiful ladies like yourselves. Come on, have a drink with us, and we’ll leave you alone. How about that?”Yeah, right! If they went with these men, who knew what might happen.Outnumbered, Selena chose not to provoke them. Instead, she discreetly pulled out her phone to call the police.“What are you doing, gorgeous?”Just then, a hand shot out from behind and snatched her phone away, smashing it to pieces when they saw she was calling for help.“Come on, beautiful, that’s not

Selena thought for a moment. It did seem like the right thing to do, so she nodded. “Okay, let’s go together.”At the police station, Aveline and Selena testified on the man’s behalf. Both the man and the blonde-haired leader were injured, but since the latter had been the one causing trouble, he would be held accountable. The man was allowed to leave after giving his statement.Outside the station, Aveline suggested, “Let’s go to the hospital and get those wounds treated.”The man’s forehead was bleeding from a cut, and blood trickled down from it.He looked at Aveline, suddenly breaking into a broad smile, his eyes incredibly clear and bright. “I’m just glad you’re okay.”Aveline hesitated, taken aback for a moment.Selena leaned in closer and whispered in her ear, “Sounds like a familiar line, doesn’t it?”Aveline was speechless.She looked at him. “Do you remember your name now?”The man nodded. “I remember a little… I think my name is Leo.”Aveline nodded. “Alright, Leo, let’s he

Selena continued her playful banter, even giving Lucas a pointed glare without missing a beat.Aveline stifled a laugh, listening carefully to the story Selena was recounting. After a moment of thought, she asked, "So, you stayed downstairs that long because you were planning to help out?"Selena's expression shifted to one of mild discomfort, her tone defensive. "I wasn’t going to help. If she’s getting pushed around, she deserves it!"Her words didn’t fool Aveline. She had known Selena for years and was well aware of her complex feelings toward the Quin family. While Selena often expressed her disdain for her parents, she had never spoken ill of Jolie.It was clear to Aveline that Selena cared about her sister, even if she wouldn’t admit it outright. But since Selena wasn’t ready to talk about it, Aveline decided not to press the issue."Alright, let’s eat. The food’s here.""Good idea."...Downstairs.After the man had scurried off, Jolie looked visibly more relaxed. Once she had f

"Yes, sir," replied the man across from Gavin, who was clearly his assistant, Quentin Rhett.Jolie had figured out the situation. The Southside business district project was primarily led by Cooper Enterprises, with various companies competing for the most lucrative contracts and land rights. It seemed the Lowe family’s bid had been favored so far.The arrogant man sitting across from her immediately adopted a more respectful demeanor upon recognizing Gavin. "Mr. Cooper, our bid is solid. There are no issues."Gavin, still ignoring him, continued with his meal.Jolie smirked slightly before standing up and walking directly to Gavin’s table."Hey, you—" The man started, then quickly silenced himself, nervously watching Gavin's reaction to her. If they were connected, his earlier attitude would make things extremely awkward for him.Without hesitation, Jolie called over a server, requested utensils, and casually began eating at Gavin’s table.Quentin, surprised by her boldness, spoke up,

Lucas responded in a calm, low voice, “You won’t get that chance in this lifetime.”Selena huffed. “You better hope so!”She lifted her chin defiantly and then playfully winked at Aveline. Aveline smiled softly, a hint of exasperation in her eyes. When would these two ever stop bickering?Once they arrived at the mall, Selena dragged Aveline into a whirlwind shopping spree. Whatever caught their eye, they bought—no hesitation, no restraint. It felt exhilarating to indulge so freely!Lucas followed quietly behind them, occasionally making a few phone calls and handling work without missing a beat.After shopping all morning, the group started to feel tired. Selena led Aveline into a restaurant across the street.“I read reviews on this place, and they say the food is amazing. They’ve got some dishes from Cloudflare City too. It’s been a while since you’ve been back—want a taste of home?” Selena asked, grinning while flipping through the menu.Aveline nodded. “Yeah, I’ve been craving it

Daisy’s expression darkened slightly at Jolie’s words, but she held back from lashing out. “That’s all in the past. What’s the point of bringing it up now? You and Selena are sisters, after all. You should reach out to her more. Convince her to come back. She’s still part of the Quin family.”In recent years, both her parents, especially her father, had become fixated on reconnecting with Selena. Despite multiple attempts, Selena had kept her distance, and even after finally making contact, she barely exchanged a few words with them before cutting off all communication again. The more they tried, the further she drifted away.Jolie remained quiet, observing Daisy. She had no right to criticize her mother—after all, it was she who had always been favored growing up. The Quin family had never done anything wrong by her.“I understand. I’ll try,” Jolie finally relented, though the thought of facing Selena’s distant and prickly demeanor again made her uneasy. Perhaps, deep down, her sist

“Got something on your mind, Dad?” Gavin asked, noticing Wilfried’s serious expression as he entered the room. His own demeanor softened a bit.Wilfried didn’t waste time, sitting down heavily on the sofa with a stern look. "What are you planning to do about what happened today?"Gavin froze for a moment, realizing that the whole situation had become an open secret within the family. His response was calm, though. "I don’t have any specific plans."At this, Wilfried’s expression darkened even further. "That won’t do. You’ve taken advantage of someone, so you need to take responsibility. I’ll have someone look into that girl’s background tomorrow, prepare the bride price, and we’ll go make the proposal immediately."Gavin blinked, his typically composed expression faltering slightly. After a brief silence, he replied, "Dad, I’m willing to take responsibility, but what if she doesn’t want to marry me?"Wilfried paused, momentarily caught off guard by this possibility. His gaze swept over

“Hmm, you’re right. I’ll talk to your brother and see what he thinks,” Wilfried said thoughtfully.Aveline nodded and went on her way....In the study, Gernard sat on the sofa, a mischievous grin plastered on his face. “Brother, why didn’t you let me finish? I was about to spill the best part.”Gavin ignored him and pulled out a document, handing it over. “Take a look at this. If everything’s in order, you’ll be leaving the day after tomorrow.”“What’s this?” Gernard blinked, taking the file and flipping it open. His eyes widened as he scanned the pages.He shot up from his seat, staring at Gavin in disbelief. “Wait, you’re serious? You’re actually sending me to South Africa? Do people live there? When did we even expand into that region?”Gavin, seated in his leather chair, remained cold and composed. “Recently.”Gernard’s face twisted in disbelief. After a long pause, he finally blurted out, “No way. I’m not going.”Gavin’s gaze flickered over to him, calm but stern. “You don’t hav

“What gossip?” Aveline's interest was instantly piqued, her eyes sparkling as she looked at Gernard.Gernard leaned in conspiratorially, about to spill the juicy details. “It’s about Brother. You won’t believe what happened today…”“Ahem!”Before he could finish, Gavin appeared, clearing his throat just loud enough to interrupt. He grabbed Gernard’s arm, pulling him away. “Let’s talk about the company,” he said, his tone leaving no room for argument.Gernard protested, “Brother, wait, I wasn’t finished!”Aveline, her curiosity fully ignited, took a couple of steps forward. “Hey bros, don’t leave me hanging! Finish the story first!”Without slowing down, Gavin replied, “He’s headed to South Africa soon. Work comes first.”“South Africa?” Gernard’s jaw dropped. “Wait, since when am I going to South Africa? I didn’t hear about this! What’s going on?”Aveline stopped in her tracks, equally puzzled. “South Africa? Does the Cooper family even have projects there?”Just then, Wilfried walked

"Got too much free time on your hands?" Gavin’s cold gaze fixed on Gernard.Unbothered, Gernard strolled over and patted his brother's shoulder, grinning. "So, what’s your plan now? I got a little bored and did some digging on the Quin family. Guess what? Turns out they’re Selena’s birth family. She left them ages ago to make it on her own, but the girl you were with? That’s Jolie Quin, the pampered princess of the family."With a knowing smirk, Gernard added, "Brother, I couldn’t help but notice—Jolie and Selena do look a bit alike. Could that be why you…?""Get lost," Gavin cut him off, not in the mood for Gernard’s teasing. He brushed past him, heading downstairs.Of course, that only fueled Gernard’s enthusiasm. "Hey, don’t walk away! I haven’t finished my gossip yet!" he called after him, but the conversation came to an abrupt end as they reached the main floor, where the guests were still gathered for the celebration....Aveline noticed Selena seemed a bit distracted and asked,

One of Jolie’s long, slender legs was exposed to the cool air, and Gavin’s fingers instinctively tightened, as if they could still feel the smoothness of her thigh under his grip. His gaze darkened, though his expression only grew colder. His sharp, chiseled features gave him a distant, unapproachable aura—a man who seldom smiled and whose demeanor warned others to stay away.He was cold, almost like an ice block."Debt’s owed," he said flatly, tossing out the two words before sitting on the sofa and picking up the phone to make a call.Jolie blinked in surprise, processing what he said. Debt owed?Was that something you could even keep on hold?But thinking about it, he probably didn’t need anything right now. So, if he wanted to leave the debt hanging, so be it.Stretching lazily, Jolie sat up and said, "Have someone bring me a change of clothes."With that, she pulled the blanket aside, slowly rising from the bed despite the discomfort between her legs and headed toward the bathro
