Russell's fingers tightened around his wine glass, but his handsome, refined face maintained a flawless smile. "I'm glad you both could make it. Thank you for the well wishes," he said, preparing to move on to the next table."Wait, my wife hasn't spoken yet," Lucas interjected, stopping them in their tracks.Now, there was no way to leave. With everyone's eyes on them, making a scene would surely become the talk of Cloudflare City.Aveline exhaled a quiet sigh, lifted her glass, and looked at Russell and Rina. "Wishing you both a happy marriage and that all your dreams come true.""Thank you," Rina responded cheerfully, her voice sweet.In Rina's mind, as long as Aveline was with Lucas, she posed no threat. There was no need to target Aveline anymore. If Lucas liked Aveline, there was no harm in acting friendly around her.Lucas turned his gaze to Russell. "So, what do you think? Did my wife say it well?"Aveline felt her patience fraying. “Is this man insane?” she thought.She re

Russell tightened his grip on his wine glass, then, after a brief pause, let out a low chuckle. "Thanks for the advice, Lucas. I’ll be sure to keep that in mind."Lucas' narrowed eyes lingered on him for a moment, but as someone came over to exchange pleasantries, Russell turned and walked away...."So tired," Selena muttered as she slumped down beside Aveline, sipping on a glass of juice.Aveline looked at her in confusion. "What did you do?"Selena sighed. "Danced. Aaron, that idiot, insisted on dancing with me. I told him I can't dance, but he kept saying he'd teach me. In the end, he failed to teach me, and I nearly trampled his feet flat."Aveline couldn't help but laugh, then asked, "So, things between you two are still steady?"Selena nodded. "So far, so good. I haven't felt the urge to break it off yet."Aveline smiled. "If you're not tired of him, stick with it. When you get bored, find someone new.""Hey, that’s not something you should say," a voice interjected.Aaron appro

Lucas lowered his eyes slightly and said in a soft voice, "I’m still young. My days of happiness have yet to come."Malcolm was speechless.…After Selena had rested enough, Aaron pulled her back onto the dance floor, determined to teach her how to dance as if it were his mission. Watching them, a small smile formed on Aveline's lips.She thought she could see a glimpse of love there.Aveline couldn't help but wonder, what if she hadn’t discouraged Selena from being with Aaron back then?But she and Selena were different in the end. Selena would find happiness—she was certain of it.A waiter passed by, and Aveline reached out for a glass of juice, taking a small sip. The sweet and tangy taste helped to soothe the heat rising in her stomach. She sat in the lounge area, waiting for a chance to leave.But for some reason, she started to feel increasingly hot, beads of sweat forming on her forehead.She fanned herself with her hand, feeling the urge to go out to the balcony for some fres

"I feel so uncomfortable... so hot..." Aveline’s soft murmurs came from behind him. Russell turned around and saw her restlessly shifting on the sofa. Her fair skin had taken on a flushed, pink hue, looking temptingly like a ripe peach.Russell hurried over and patted her face lightly. "Aveline, wake up. Aveline?"But she grabbed his hand, pressing it against her cheek as if trying to use the coolness to soothe her discomfort. It wasn’t enough; she pulled his hand lower, seeking relief.Russell's breath caught in his throat, and he quickly pulled his hand away. She had been drugged!She wasn’t in her right mind, acting purely on instinct. If she woke up and realized something had happened between them, she would be devastated, and she would never want to see him again!Russell got up and rushed to the bathroom. He soaked a towel in cold water and came back, placing it on her forehead.The cool sensation seemed to calm her down; her movements grew less frantic.Taking advantage of

“Aveline?” Russell glanced down at her face and saw that her awareness was fading once more. The effects of the drug were kicking in again.He quickly scooped her up and headed toward the bathroom.Just then, there was a noise at the door!Russell’s expression darkened. They were here already?Before he could react, the door burst open, revealing a crowd of people from the Skyler, Johnson, and Tudor families.“Oh my God, what are you doing?” At the front was Rina, her eyes instantly reddening as she saw the scene. She pointed at them, her voice trembling with emotion. “Russ, how could you do this to me? Today is our wedding—our wedding!”The faces of the Skyler and Johnson family members were filled with anger and disbelief.Lucas strode into the room, his eyes narrowing as he took in Aveline's condition. His voice was cold and controlled, “She’s been drugged.”“That's right,” Russell confirmed, quickly recounting everything that had happened. He finished with, “Lucas, nothing ha

The soft mattress trembled as Lucas' breathing grew heavier. His voice was husky and strained. "Aveline, when you wake up, you can't deny this happened."Aveline didn't hear a word he said, her actions frantic as she kissed him with abandon.Lucas' voice grew even lower and rougher. "If you don't say anything, I'll take that as a yes."A night of passion ensued.The next morning.Aveline opened her eyes and found herself in an unfamiliar place. She jolted upright, her heart racing. The blanket slipped from her shoulders, and a chill spread across her chest. Glancing down, her face instantly turned pale!Her memory of last night stopped at the moment when Russell had said she had been drugged. She couldn’t recall anything beyond that.But the current situation spoke volumes—had she been with Russell?Oh, God!How could this happen?And yesterday was Russell's wedding day!She…Aveline stared blankly ahead, tears the size of beads suddenly streaming down her face, her complexion as pal

"Okay," Aveline murmured softly, her gaze lowered.Only after Lucas turned and left the room did she slip on the robe and head to the bathroom to freshen up.When she emerged, she found Lucas setting breakfast on the dining table.She looked at him, puzzled. "Is this place one of your properties too?"Lucas nodded. "Just one of them. It's close to the Tudor Group, so I come here occasionally when it's too late to go home."The apartment was a spacious 300-square-meter flat with a minimalist design. There were no plants or decorations, and the overall atmosphere felt quite cold and empty.Aveline sat down at the table and took a sip of the corn soup. Lucas asked, "Do you like it here?""It's fine," she replied.He continued, "I'll have it transferred into your name later. You can stay here whenever you like."Aveline glanced at him but said nothing.Lucas' lips curved into a faint smile. "What's wrong? Are you so moved you don't know what to say?"Aveline rolled her eyes internally. “T

The girl looked aggrieved, her expression defiant.Aveline watched her calmly. Seeing that the girl had spent an entire night detained yet remained so composed, without a hint of guilt, Aveline turned her gaze to Russell.“Bring it over,” Russell instructed his men.One of his subordinates approached with a laptop, the screen displaying a surveillance video.He hit play, and the footage showed the girl entering the banquet hall, her eyes immediately fixating on Aveline. Wherever Aveline went, the girl followed at a discreet distance, as if waiting for something.Finally, the footage showed Aveline drinking a glass of juice. About five minutes later, the girl casually walked past Aveline, feigning concern and asking a few questions.The surveillance camera’s audio quality was surprisingly good; other background noises were filtered out, leaving the girl’s voice clear as she suggested Aveline go upstairs to rest.As soon as Aveline left, the girl took out her phone and sent a message.Th

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
