Aveline looked at him. "What if I don’t want to do it?"Desmond smiled. "You can’t turn this down."Aveline rolled her eyes and took the file straight to Lucas's office. Desmond tried to stop her, but he couldn't.She pushed the door open and walked right in.Lucas, tall and imposing, stood by the floor-to-ceiling window, talking on the phone. Hearing the door being pushed open, he turned and frowned."Let's leave it at that," he said, ending the call."Who allowed you to come in?" he asked coldly, his eyes icy.Aveline slammed the file on his desk. "Did you do this on purpose?"Lucas glanced at the file and replied coolly, "Isn't this part of your job? What's the problem? If you don't want to do it, you can quit. Plenty of people want this job."Aveline fumed silently. This jerk was definitely doing this on purpose!He was retaliating because she had slapped him last night!That was why he pushed her to the limit last night and sent her to a construction site today.Seeing her angry b

Aveline couldn't help but chuckle. After recording the video, she called the ambulance. The ambulance arrived quickly. On the way to the hospital, she dialed the number from the paper.The person on the other end, Lucas’ stepmother, Yvonne Betsy, hearing that the elderly woman was lost and injured, said immediately, "Thank you. We'll be there soon. Please stay with her until we arrive."Aveline agreed.After hanging up, Yvonne called Lucas."Hello?" Lucas's cold voice came through the phone.Yvonne said, "Lucas, your grandmother is lost and now in the hospital. You're closer, so go check on her. I'll be there shortly."Lucas frowned. "What happened?""I'm not sure of the details. Just go quickly," Yvonne urged."Alright, I understand," Lucas replied and headed to the hospital.At the hospital, the doctors found that Lucas's grandmother, Barbara Luzen, had a minor bone fracture in her leg, requiring a hospital stay for treatment.She clung tightly to Aveline's hand, her aged face showin

How could she know?Aveline was about to explain, but seeing the coldness in his eyes, she suddenly realized that no matter how she explained, he wouldn't believe her.It felt absurd.How could someone change so much just by regaining their memory?Or maybe, the Lucas she knew before wasn't the real him at all?"You're hurting me!"Aveline felt the pain in her wrist, and her brow furrowed.Almost instinctively, Lucas released her hand.Her skin was fair, and even a little force would leave marks. At this moment, there were several red imprints on her wrist.Such marks used to frequently appear on her waist.Lucas's eyes darkened even more."Aveline, I'm sparing you because of the past year. Don't push me.""What do you want?" Aveline's clear eyes stared straight at him. "Kill me? Go ahead!"Meeting her tearful and defiant gaze, Lucas felt a sudden pain in his heart.The tension between them was tangible as they stood at the door of the hospital room.Aveline smiled. "Lucas, I won't div

Before Lucas could say anything, Barbara exploded."Divorce? No, absolutely not! Aveline is such a good granddaughter-in-law, you can't divorce her!"She grabbed Lucas's hand, her aged face full of distress. "Grandson, if you dare divorce your wife, I'll cry, I really will cry..."And with that, Barbara actually started crying!The scene happened so suddenly that everyone was taken aback.Lucas was stunned, seeing his grandmother cry more and more intensely. Worried that her crying might cause health issues, he quickly said, "Grandma, we won't divorce. We won't divorce."Barbara's tears stopped instantly. "Really?"Lucas nodded. "Really."Barbara then said, "Tonight, bring your wife home so the Tudor family can meet her!"Lucas didn’t respond to her demand.Barbara continued to insist, "If you don't agree, I'll start crying again!"Yvonne, standing nearby, smiled. "It seems Mom really likes Aveline. Lucas, I think you should reconsider. Marriage is not something to be taken lightly."L

"Come down."The two cold, curt words were followed by the click of the phone hanging up.Aveline hadn't even said a word before she found herself staring at her now darkened phone screen, gritting her teeth in frustration.So annoying!He was nowhere near as sweet as he was when he had lost his memory.She went downstairs, the evening sunset casting a warm orange glow over her, making her hair appear to glow.However, her smile faded when she saw that the person by the car wasn't Lucas."Where's Lucas?" she asked as she approached.Desmond replied, "Mr. Tudor has other matters to attend to. He asked me to take you to the Tudor family mansion."For some reason, her heart sank.What could be more important than taking her to meet his family?She pressed her lips together and got into the car.She took out her phone and called Lucas, but he didn't answer.Jerk!Clutching her phone, Aveline stared out the window.Soon, the surroundings grew more beautiful. The Tudor family mansion was loc

Yvonne smiled and said, "Sophia, you're here. No traffic on the way?"Sophia, wearing a white dress with her long, straight black hair cascading over her shoulders, responded sweetly, "Madam Yvonne, there was no traffic. Lucas is a great driver. We got here smoothly."Frederick added, "Now that you're here, let's go wash our hands before we eat."His tone was warm, a stark contrast to his cold demeanor towards Aveline.Even the servants' faces brightened with smiles. "Miss Winter, knowing you were coming, the chef prepared many of your favorite dishes."The previously tense atmosphere was lightened up with Sophia's arrival.Aveline stood aside, dazed as she watched the scene unfold.The Tudor family didn't like her. They all preferred Sophia.She suddenly understood why Lucas had agreed to bring her to the Tudor family. He was indirectly telling her that the family didn't like or welcome her.It was a cruel way to crush her hopes.The ironic part was that she had dressed up carefully,

"What's this? Do we have to call you several times before you'll come to eat?" Lucas' deep, magnetic voice sounded from behind her.Aveline opened her eyes and looked at him. "Lucas, have I ever done anything to wrong you?"Lucas frowned. "What are you talking about?"Aveline gave a bitter smile. "Why can't you even give me a single smile anymore?"Lucas's thin lips pressed into a hard line.Aveline walked towards him. "Do you really hate me so much just because I won't divorce you?”Her eyes shimmered as she gazed into his dark eyes, trying to find a trace of herself in them.She found it, but his eyes no longer held affection, only coldness.He felt responsible for Sophia.Her year of devotion, all those beautiful moments, now felt like a joke.Lucas watched the light in her eyes extinguish. Then he heard her say, "Fine, I agree to the divorce."There was no point in keeping this version of Lucas around. She only loved the gentle, caring Lu, who saw her as his whole world.However, L

As her body was lifted, Aveline instinctively clung to him, a look of surprise flashing in her eyes.What did this mean?Lucas ignored her gaze, placing her in the car before taking out a simple first aid kit and attending to her injured feet.Aveline watched his actions, feeling a bit dazed, almost as if she were seeing Lu again.He was Lu."Lu...""Don't get the wrong idea." Lucas's deep voice cut her off. "I just don’t want to deal with anything unnecessary that would make you change your mind about the divorce.”His words felt like a sudden splash of cold water, extinguishing the tiny flicker of hope in her heart.So that was the reason.He was afraid she would change her mind.Ha!She pulled her foot back. "Don't worry. I won't take back what I said."However, he held her delicate ankle firmly, making her unable to move.In her struggle, her skirt rode up, revealing her smooth, slender legs, creating a tantalizingly partial view.Lucas's gaze traveled down her long legs.

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
