As Aveline continued to adjust the blueprints and snack on the treats, the afternoon slipped away unnoticed. The sky outside had grown dark, and the office lights were now aglow, snapping her back to reality. She realized she had been there much longer than intended.Logging out of her account, she shut down the laptop and stood up, glancing over at Lucas.He was still engrossed in his work, his fingers holding a pen as he reviewed each page with a cold, focused expression. Occasionally, he made notes in the margins.Not wanting to disturb him, Aveline stretched her arms after sitting for so long, then quietly walked over to the floor-to-ceiling window to admire the night view outside.The Tudor Group’s location was undoubtedly the best, perched high enough to overlook most of the city. Below, a sea of twinkling lights gathered like a river of stars—a breathtaking view. And now, snowflakes were drifting down, creating a dreamlike scene.Aveline's eyes softened, her mood feeling su

The next day, a video quietly began circulating across major online platforms, and within just three hours, it had skyrocketed to the top of the trending list.Early that morning, Desmond contacted Lucas, his tone grave. “Mr. Tudor, there’s trouble. A video of you hitting someone at the hospital has been uploaded online, and it’s already gaining a lot of attention.”As he spoke, he sent Lucas the trending search term.Lucas had just finished his morning workout and was wiping sweat from his forehead and neck with a towel. He opened his messaging app and saw the trending topic Desmond had sent.“Tudor Group Chairman Assaults Someone in Hospital.”He clicked on the link and was immediately met with countless videos, all showing the same scene from the hospital corridor's surveillance footage: a few seconds of him kicking a middle-aged woman to the ground. No context, no follow-up—just that brief, explosive moment.But he wasn’t just anyone; he was the newly appointed Chairman of Tudor Gr

“Huh?” Aveline was momentarily stunned and asked in confusion, “Why is he trending? Why is he being criticized?”Selena replied, “Oh, it's a long story—I can't explain it in just a few words. You need to check it out for yourself!”Aveline frowned tightly. What was going on? She had only been away for one night, and suddenly, this was happening?Without ending the call, she exited the screen and opened the app. The top trending topic was about Lucas.She clicked on it, and when she saw the content of the video, she immediately sat up.“Did you see it? Hahaha, that jerk is finally getting what he deserves! He’s being slammed across the internet—it feels so good!” Selena's voice came through, her laughter wild and unrestrained.The video clip only showed the moment Lucas kicked the middle-aged woman, without any context before or after, and Aveline wasn’t visible in the footage. No one knew Lucas had acted to protect her.Aveline pressed her lips together, scrolling through the commen

Aveline pressed her lips together slightly, unwilling to admit it but knowing she had to—her heart was wavering because of Lucas.Images of the recent events flashed through her mind. She lowered her gaze, a complex look in her eyes. How could she not waver?He had changed significantly. He had become much gentler, more respectful of her thoughts and opinions. He was slowly becoming the Lu she had once loved.And she had no defenses against Lu.She closed her eyes briefly, trying to pull herself out of those emotions, without giving any further explanation. “Let’s just get back to work,” she said, refocusing her attention on her computer....At Tudor Group.In the boardroom, the atmosphere was heavy.Lucas sat at the head of the table, dressed in a silver-gray suit, his tie undone and the top two buttons of his shirt left open. One hand rested on the table as he twirled a pen between fingers. His sharp, handsome face remained expressionless.The shareholders had all arrived.On o

Mark’s face darkened, his eyes narrowing as he replied, “Are you questioning me? What motives could I possibly have? I'm doing this for the good of the Tudor Group! Regardless of the circumstances leading up to this, the public has already been misled by that video. “Clarifying it now will do no good—they only believe what they see. If we make a sincere apology and show genuine remorse, we can calm things down. After that, we can release the full investigation results. That's the most effective way to handle this!”His tone was charged with emotion as he turned to Lucas. “What do you think, Lucas?”“Well said,” Lucas replied, his lips curving into a faint smile. He raised a hand and said, “Since you want Madam Yvonne to come in, why don’t you call her right now and see if she’ll agree?”His demeanor showed no sign of tension; his expression remained completely unchanged. The trending topic continued to spiral out of control, and the shareholders were in a heated argument, yet Lucas,

Desmond was speechless.His usually composed expression was starting to crack.Shareholders were equally at a loss for words.“What on earth? Do you even hear yourself right now?” they thought.Their expressions were a sight to behold, all eyes on Lucas, waiting to see what else he might say.On the other end of the line, Aveline fell silent.Did she hear him right? Did he just say he was being bullied?Wasn't he usually the one doing the bullying?With a calm tone, she replied, “It seems like you’re fine, so I’m going to hang up now.”“There is something, really!” Lucas quickly insisted, trying to keep her on the line. “After this incident, the executives at Tudor Group are holding a board meeting. They want to remove me from my position and send me packing. I’m about to be unemployed!”Shareholders were speechless.This was getting more and more ridiculous.Aveline paused for a moment and said, “This process sounds oddly familiar.”Wasn’t this exactly how things went with DK Group?A

This was the perfect moment to strip Lucas of his power. If they couldn’t find someone to replace him now, Lucas would only grow stronger, leaving the shareholders with no room to maneuver in the future.“Not coming, is she?” Just then, Lucas’ voice broke the tension, calm and unhurried, with a hint of amusement, as if he had expected this outcome all along.Mark glanced at him, his expression stern. “Madam Yvonne has deep feelings for the former chairman. With him bedridden, she insists on staying by his side to care for him. It seems we’ll need to look for another suitable candidate.”He cast his gaze around the room. One of the shareholders suddenly spoke up, “If we're talking about experience and capability, Mr. Lewis is the only one truly qualified to take over as Chairman and CEO of Tudor Group. We’ve all seen his dedication to the Group over the years. I vote in favor of Mr. Lewis temporarily assuming the position of Chairman!”“I agree!”“So do I!”Several shareholders on Ma

Mark had dedicated his entire life to the Tudor Group and was considered a key contributor to its success. Even Frederick had to show him respect, so who did Lucas think he was to speak to him like that?Tobias stood up, noting the displeased expression on Mark’s face. With a faint smile, he said, “Mark, it’s best to do what’s appropriate for your age and stop concerning yourself with things that don’t matter. You’re still a shareholder of the Tudor Group; you can enjoy your retirement comfortably. But if you lose those shares, what will you do then?”With that, he walked out of the room.The other attendees gradually left the boardroom, leaving Mark and a few of his supporters behind. The expressions on their faces were far from pleasant.Mark’s eyes were dark and fixed straight ahead, his hands clenched tightly into fists. Just then, his phone rang. He glanced at the screen—it was an unfamiliar number. He wasn’t planning to answer it, but then a text message arrived. Upon reading

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
