Selena, clearly annoyed, snapped, "What do you mean by that? Why wouldn’t I have leads? I’m not telling you anything! Just tell me where Lucas is—I need to talk to him in person!"Aaron chuckled, clearly amused, as if he could picture Selena's frustration even through the phone. The thought seemed to entertain him, but he didn’t keep her waiting. "Alright, alright. I’ll call him now.""Good, hurry up." Selena hung up and turned to Aveline, giving her a playful wink. "We’ve been going crazy trying to find you these past couple of days. Even Desmond filed a police report. But once you see Lucas, you can clear everything up."Aveline nodded. "I know." She was still unsure whether to tell Lucas about the pregnancy. They were already divorced, and in her mind, this child was hers alone. But Lucas had said he would try to win her back, that he’d respect her choices.He had changed, or maybe he had just returned to the person she once knew—the Lucas she had fallen in love with.Perhaps mee

Selena glanced at Aveline, concerned. "Are you sure you're okay with this kind of environment?"Aveline nodded. "It’s fine. Once we find him, we’ll leave.""Right," Selena agreed and then led the way into the bar.Finding someone in the midst of a crowd wasn’t easy. The place was packed, and with Aveline not having her phone, they couldn’t split up to search faster.…In one of the bar’s shadowed booths, Lucas sat slumped over, surrounded by empty bottles. He tugged at his collar in frustration, his entire demeanor filled with despair and confusion.His usually sharp eyes were bloodshot, and though the lights flickered and flashed all around him, none seemed to reach the dark corner where he sat.Lucas stared blankly at the revelers around him, his face twisted in frustration.He couldn’t find her.He had lost Aveline.Where could she be? Who had taken her? Why?Endless questions swirled in his mind, his head throbbing with the weight of it all.He grabbed another drink and downed it,

"Wow!" Selena gasped loudly as she saw what was happening inside the room. She moved to burst in, ready to confront the pair.But Aveline quickly stopped her, pulling the door shut.Selena turned to her, furious. "Why are you stopping me? Let me go in there and tear those two apart!"The dim lighting in the hallway cast a shadow over Aveline's pale face. Her eyes seemed lost as she bit her lip, finally speaking in a soft voice. "We’re divorced."The implication was clear—Lucas was free to be with anyone he wanted now.Selena fell silent, her anger cooling. She suddenly realized that, legally, Aveline no longer had any right to confront Lucas. They weren’t together anymore."Let’s go. We’ll head to the police station and withdraw the missing person report," Selena said quietly, looping her arm through Aveline's.Aveline didn’t respond, allowing Selena to lead her away. The lively music of the bar droned on as they walked through the crowd, but Aveline’s expression grew more numb with ev

At Meet Bar, inside the private room on the second floor, a soft, saccharine voice filled the air. "Lucas..."The breath was warm and close, but suddenly, Lucas' clouded mind cleared, snapping back to reality. He shot up from the couch, his voice low and hoarse with restrained fury. "Who are you?""I..." The woman, lounging on the sofa, was caught off guard by his sudden clarity.But Lucas didn’t wait for her response. He quickly located the light switch and flicked it on. The room flooded with light, and he saw her face—Juliet!His expression turned icy, and in an instant, he lunged forward, grabbing her by the throat. "What did you do to me?" he growled."I..." Juliet gasped, pain shooting through her neck as the pressure tightened. The sudden suffocation overwhelmed her, and she panicked, realizing just how dangerous he had become.The man before her had a terrifyingly cold and ruthless look in his eyes, his grip unyielding. His shirt was disheveled, his gaze bloodshot, and the kil

Lucas completely ignored Selena’s protests, pacing around the living room, and searching every corner. Not finding anyone, he headed straight for the bedroom."Hey, stop!" Selena rushed over, arms outstretched to block his way. "What do you think you’re doing?"His bloodshot eyes fixed on her, cold and intense. "Move."The icy chill and overwhelming pressure radiating from him made Selena falter momentarily, but she stood her ground. "No. Why are you barging in like this?"Frustration boiled over in Lucas. If Selena was trying this hard to stop him, then Aveline must be here. Why was she keeping him away? Didn’t she understand how desperately he’d been searching for Aveline, how close to madness he’d been?Lucas had little patience left. Just as he was about to push Selena aside, the bedroom door creaked open.Aveline stood there, dressed in soft sleepwear, one hand resting on the doorframe, the other hanging loosely at her side. She looked fragile, ethereal, but her face was pale, a

In the early morning, the streets were mostly empty. Aveline walked for a while before hailing a taxi."To the airport," she said softly, her gaze drifting out the window, her eyes filled with an eerie calm.Meanwhile, Braden watched Aveline leave and dialed Lucas' number. "Mr. Tudor, Miss Aveline is leaving. She seems to be headed for the airport."…With no traffic, Aveline arrived at the airport just before 7 a.m. She bought a ticket for the earliest flight and walked toward the security checkpoint."Aveline."A familiar voice called out from behind her, making her freeze in place. She closed her eyes briefly before turning around calmly to face Lucas, who stood not far away, his handsome face cold as he looked at her."Where are you going?" Lucas walked toward her, step by step. "I’ve been looking for you for days. You’re leaving as soon as you return? Are you abandoning me?"He stopped in front of her, staring directly into her eyes.Aveline replied, "We’re already divorced. Don’t

Lucas handed Aveline her phone, watching as she powered it on and checked her messages. Just then, Selena's call came through.Aveline answered, "Hello, Selena.""Aveline! What’s going on? You left without me? Weren’t we supposed to go together? How could you just leave without saying a word? Do you even consider me your friend?" Selena’s furious voice came through, clearly showing how upset she was.Aveline held the phone a little further away from her ear, waiting for Selena to finish before softly apologizing, "I’m sorry. I really wanted to leave, but I didn’t manage to. I’m actually just having breakfast outside right now. Do you... want to join me?""Where are you?"Another sharp shout came, followed by the call being abruptly ended.Aveline scratched her nose, an awkward smile spreading across her face.Lucas gently looked at her, tucking a loose strand of hair behind her ear. "Knowing you were planning to leave without telling anyone... why does that weirdly make me feel better

"Hello, what now? I failed, and Lucas broke my finger! Your plan was completely useless!" Juliet hissed into the phone, though her frustration was clear.There was a brief silence on the other end before the voice coldly responded, "You failed because you're incompetent. And now you want to blame me?""You—!" Juliet nearly leapt out of bed in anger, but she quickly remembered she still needed this person. Taking a deep breath, she forced herself to calm down and asked, "So what do we do now?""You're too useless for me to keep working with. You're on your own." The person cut the call immediately."Hello? Hello?!" Juliet's face twisted in anger. She quickly dialed the number again, only to discover the phone was turned off.Unbelievable!So unfair!"Who were you talking to?" Gernard's voice suddenly came from the doorway.Juliet jumped, her phone slipping from her hand and falling to the floor."You... Gernard, when did you get back?" The guilt on her face was painfully obvious.Gerna

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
