After the CEO Divorced Me, He Wants Me Back Chapter 823
Was she wavering? Backing down? Hesitating? It seemed so. When that answer appeared in her mind, Aveline realized that her persistence all along had indeed become a joke.Reflecting on the past, there were moments of pain, but also moments of care. Why had she insisted on divorce so stubbornly? Perhaps it was the repeated lack of trust, the stark contrast between who he was before and who he became after regaining his memory and identity. He was no longer the same man she once loved so deeply. His entanglements with other women, and his desire to repay favors, all while ignoring her role in his life. Those disappointments eventually turned into despair. She didn’t want to hold on anymore, and that was why she sought a divorce. Her heart, once filled with love for him, had gradually dried up like a riverbed cracked with fissures, and every time she thought about it, the pain became unbearable. She just didn’t want to feel that pain any longer. Her thoughts were chaot

Hearing this, Aveline furrowed her brows. "The situation is getting more and more heated. Aren't you going to find a way to cool it down?"Lucas replied, "It's too late to suppress it now. The capital has already gotten involved, and there are people fueling the flames behind the scenes. The attention is only going to increase."Aveline's worry deepened. "Then what should you do?"If things continued like this, Lucas' situation would only become more precarious. It wouldn't just be pressure from the board; the public could turn against him too. If it caught the attention of the higher authorities, there was a real risk of him being blacklisted."Hearing you worry about me, I should be happy," Lucas suddenly shifted the topic, "but why does it make me so sad?"Aveline paused for a moment and then suggested, "Maybe I could do a livestream to clarify things.""No need for you to appear," Lucas replied, "I'll handle everything."His words brought her a strange sense of calm. Still, she s

“Desmond,” Lucas called.“Yes,” Desmond responded immediately.Desmond quickly took out his laptop and projected a video onto the screen behind them. He said, “I’m sure many of you haven’t seen the full video yet?”As his words fell, everyone’s attention turned to the screen. The video showed a hospital corridor, where a middle-aged man and woman stood at the doorway of a patient room, shouting. A young woman approached them, trying to reason with them. Due to the angle, her face was not visible in the footage. However, it was clear that the middle-aged woman attempted to hit the young woman, and only then did Lucas step in. "Here's the full video," Desmond said, pausing the footage at the right moment. "As you can see, Mr. Tudor was just defending the lady, not abusing his power like some people online are saying. If Mr. Tudor had really done something wrong, it'd be a police matter, not a matter of public opinion."After watching the video, the reporters in the room were stunne

"I had to take care of some personal matters," Maria replied as she walked in, giving Sidney a playful glance before winking at Aveline. "Did you miss me?"Aveline, a bit exasperated by Maria's antics, pushed her hand away. "Actually, there are a lot of files that need your attention. Get to work and don’t delay the progress of our studio."Maria sighed dramatically. "Workaholic!"If she'd known it would be like this, she wouldn’t have come back so early! However, she couldn't say too much about what she'd been up to. If Aveline found out, she might get angry. Things between the boss and Aveline seemed to be easing up, and the last thing Maria wanted was to mess it up now and become the eternal villain in their story."Fine, I'll get to work. But feel free to slack off," Maria said with a slight smile before heading to the office. As she passed Sidney, she gave him a meaningful look. Sidney frowned but ignored her.Aveline turned her attention back to the screen and ended the live s

Sidney walked over, holding his phone out to show her. Aveline, who was packing up her things, glanced over in confusion. "What's going on?" Another video had taken over the trending topics. In the video, the middle-aged couple from earlier were crying in front of the camera, and behind them was none other than the hospital owned by the Tudor Group! The middle-aged woman was sobbing hysterically, " "My daughter's arm was broken in a car accident caused by that big shot's wife, and we had no idea!" the middle-aged woman sobbed. "They've kept my daughter locked up in this hospital and won't let us see her! It's been over a month since she last came home. When I tried to visit her, that boss hit me! Can you believe it? Is it so wrong for a mother to want to see her own child?"The middle-aged man, his face full of anger and helplessness, added, "I only saw my daughter because I was sick and went to the hospital. I hadn’t seen her in over a month, and she looked so thin, like a gh

As Aveline unlocked the door, she said, "I don't know yet. I called him, but he didn’t answer. What is certain, though, is that someone is targeting us."Selena followed her inside, frowning. "Aren’t they going after him? What does this have to do with you?"Aveline pressed her lips together slightly. "I have a feeling things aren't as simple as they seem."Selena sighed. "Oh, my dear, you're scaring me. Why does it sound like it’s getting more complicated?"Aveline sighed helplessly. "We still don't know what the other side wants, so we'll just have to take it step by step. But I’ll be fine."At least for now, all the moves seemed aimed at Lucas.Selena took out her phone. "I'll ask Aaron to help investigate and see what’s really going on."Aveline replied, "He and Lucas are like brothers. Don’t you think he’s already involved?""True enough," Selena said, putting down her phone. "I suddenly feel so powerless, like there's nothing I can do to help."Aveline smiled and said, "Just focu

"Alright, I get it," Aveline said, gently patting Selena's hand to reassure her and temporarily abandoning the idea of going live.However, Selena, worried that Aveline might still consider doing a live stream, stuck close to her all evening, refusing to leave her side. It wasn't out of selfishness. Lucas, after all, was a powerful man with resources and influence, and he could easily suppress the situation. A few insults wouldn't bother him much. But Aveline? She had nothing like that to protect her.She couldn't afford to be exposed to the public eye. These netizens could turn vicious on a whim, and Aveline, with her gentle nature, would undoubtedly be deeply hurt by an online mob attack. Selena was worried sick about her!...Meanwhile, at the Tudor Group, the lights burned bright late into the night. The PR manager brought in the emergency response plan, only to hear the sounds of a heated argument coming from the office. Desmond stood at the door, took the documents, and

He was extremely arrogant, his confidence overflowing with an almost unbearable swagger. The expressions on the faces of the shareholders weren't looking good, but despite his audacity, there was nothing they could do.They had initially thought they could persuade him to resign, but it was clear that this approach was not going to work. Now, who could possibly rein him in?Frederick was already paralyzed by a stroke, Yvonne did not involve herself in anything, and Barbara had grown senile. At this point, no one could control Lucas.Mark was initially intimidated by the aura surrounding Lucas but quickly recovered, narrowing his eyes as he stared at him. “Lucas, you're really quite arrogant, aren't you? Do you honestly think there's nothing I can do about you?”Lucas raised a sharp brow slightly. “Oh? What exactly does Mr. Lewis plan to do?”Mark replied in a cold voice, “The Tudor Group needs a qualified and responsible person to lead it, and you are not that person.”Lucas looked a

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
