Lucas suddenly moved closer to her, his voice low. "Then let's do something more interesting."As he spoke, he grabbed her hand and pressed it against the fingerprint lock."What are you doing?" Aveline froze, staring at him. This man was losing his mind again!His cool fingertips brushed against the skin of her wrist, sending a chill through her. His grip was firm and unyielding."You were the one who said you wanted to try something interesting."They were now standing very close. His clean, crisp scent filled the space between them. With his other hand, he swiftly opened the door and stepped inside, pulling her in with him.Aveline’s inner alarm bells were ringing loudly.Trying not to provoke him further, she stayed calm. But as soon as the door closed, Lucas spun her around and pressed her against the door.His tall frame loomed over her, and he moved in to kiss her.Aveline turned her head away, dodging his lips.His hot breath brushed against her cheek, and he froze in place.

Aveline smiled slightly and said, "I’ve been good, just busy."Gernard gazed at her and remarked, "You seem to have lost some weight."Aveline touched her face. "Really? Well, in that case, I won’t have to go on a diet."Gernard wanted to say more, but he suddenly realized this conversation seemed a bit too intimate. Thinking about what his sister intended to do, he sighed softly in his heart. He glanced at the two lawyers. "You all continue; I won't disturb you."With that, he made a move to leave."You aren’t disturbing us," Aveline interjected. For some reason, she suddenly wanted Gernard to stay, to hear what was to be discussed next. It felt as if having him around provided a sense of security. This feeling was strange, catching her off guard, but she had already spoken.Gernard decided not to leave. "Very well, I will be there at court tomorrow too, so don’t worry.""Alright." Aveline nodded.As the two lawyers continued speaking, Aveline listened attentively while Gernard occas

Why?Why would Lucas target Gernard? Aveline couldn't figure it out, no matter how hard she thought. "What are you thinking about?" Gernard's voice came from beside her. Aveline snapped out of her thoughts and shook her head. "Nothing. Let's go." "Alright." Gernard responded with a nod. As they exited the restaurant, his phone suddenly rang. He took it out and saw that it was a call from Juliet. "Hello, Juliet." As he answered the call, Gernard's tone softened unconsciously. Juliet's playful voice came through, "Gernard, where are you? I'm so bored. Can I come find you to hang out?" Gernard asked, "Have you had dinner yet?" Juliet replied, "Yes, I have." "I'm planning to head back to the hotel," Gernard said. Juliet immediately sounded like a deflated balloon. "Going back to the hotel this early? Aren't you considering any nightlife at all? You're getting older, and Mom and Dad keep pushing you to get married, you know." Gernard chuckled with a mix of help

The kiss was scorching and chaotic as if he intended to melt her completely. Under such an assault, Aveline's resistance gradually weakened. Sensing her relaxation, Lucas loosened his grip and turned her around to face him."Slap!" A crisp sound echoed in the darkness, neither of them able to see each other's faces clearly.Aveline's breath was rapid and uneven, her voice hoarse. "Lucas, I could charge you with harassment."Lucas let out a low laugh. "Then maybe I should go all the way and make it a case of marital rape instead?""You..." Aveline was momentarily at a loss for words. Though she couldn’t see his expression, the atmosphere around them was cold and threatening. She knew she couldn't provoke him any further.She pressed her lips together, still feeling the lingering warmth from his lips. "Could you not do this, please?"Lucas responded, "If I don’t do this, will you let me kiss you?"Silence fell over Aveline again.Lucas reached out, his fingers caressing her face. "I wa

Aveline froze for a moment. It was true—she no longer had the same reaction around him. But that didn’t justify his behavior.She turned away from his breath, trying to calm herself down. "That’s because I was ill before. I have recovered since then."Lucas gazed deeply at her. "So, are you willing to accept me now?""No." Aveline's answer was immediate.Lucas’ breath hitched, his eyes darkening further, like an impenetrable night. "Aveline, do you know? Many times, I don’t want to care about what you think or how you feel. I just want to take you, keep you trapped by my side."His low, magnetic voice broke the silence after a long pause."You..." A hint of anger flashed in Aveline's eyes, but it was mixed with a sense of helpless frustration. If he really did that, there seemed to be nothing she could do. Even resisting would be futile."But I’m afraid you’ll hate me," Lucas said, his hand gently caressing her face. He leaned in and kissed her lips again, a quick movement that caught

“Alright,” Zachary agreed.Aveline didn’t waste a second. She set off immediately.The night was thick and dark as she drove away from Maple Garden. The bodyguards who had been discreetly watching over her quickly relayed the news to Lucas.Sitting in his study, Lucas listened to the report, his expression momentarily still. "Send more men to follow her," he ordered.The bodyguard responded, "Yes, Mr. Tudor. And what about you?"A faint smile tugged at the corners of Lucas' lips. "I’ll be attending the court session, of course."The bodyguard was speechless.What a strategist.The drive from Cloudflare City to Arthur Town took nearly seven hours. Aveline had driven through the night, barely getting a wink of sleep. By the time she reached the orphanage, dawn had broken.She knocked on the door, and a moment later, Zachary appeared, concern etched across his face. "You look exhausted. Come inside."Aveline’s head was pounding, and she felt terrible, but there was no time to waste. She

"What did you say?" Aveline frowned, staring at her.Out of desperation, Hilda continued, "I know so much—so much! Just help me get out of here, and I’ll tell you everything. Aveline, all those beautiful things, that life—it was supposed to be yours! Someone else has taken your place!"Aveline felt her mind whirl, her gaze shifting to Zachary.Someone had taken her identity?"It seems you really can't hand her over," Zachary said. "It's not that you can't find your biological parents—someone has stolen them from you, Aveline. You need to find out the truth."Aveline blinked, realization dawning. She could have found her real parents. She was supposed to find them. But someone else had known about it first and taken her place?"Who? Who is this person?"A surge of anger coursed through her.She wasn’t an orphan after all!Hilda had always known this and never told her. She had even tried to ruin her completely!Why? Why did Hilda treat her like this?Seeing Aveline's emotions shift, Hil

Zachary opened the door again and saw that all the dozens of bodyguards, who had been so imposing earlier, were now sprawled on the ground. Only two men remained standing, looking down at the others with disdain. "Is that all?" one of them sneered.Aveline saw them too and was a bit surprised. These two men had such ordinary appearances—faces you could lose in a crowd. They wore plain clothes and had an unremarkable demeanor.When they noticed Aveline, they bowed their heads slightly in respect. "Hello, Mrs. Tudor"Aveline pressed her lips together. "And who might you be?"The man in the black hoodie replied, "I’m Baron, and this is my brother, Braden."Aveline paused for a moment, then asked, " As Lucas's men, why do all of your names sound so similar?”First Brian, and now Baron and Braden. Were there more, like Bryan or Byron?Baron chuckled, a pair of sharp canine teeth flashing as he smiled. "We're all orphans. Mr. Tudor thought it was too much trouble to come up with different n

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
