Chapter 85

Author: Riverflow
Russell looked at her and said helplessly, "Miss Young, don't you realize the situation you're in? How can you still be smiling?"

Aveline replied, "So, would crying help?"

Russell was momentarily speechless, and the casual smile in his eyes faded a bit. This woman was interesting.

Lucas watched the two of them banter, his expression growing colder and more serious, with a chilling aura surrounding him. He turned to Sophia and asked gently, "Do you need to go to the hospital?"

Sophia shook her head, "No, I'm used to this kind of pain. But Miss Young's video..."

"It's fine," Lucas said, immediately dialing a number. "Come in and take Miss Winter home."

In a short while, Brian entered the room and helped Sophia up.

Sophia looked at Aveline with a pleading expression. "Miss Young, it's all my fault. I shouldn't have interfered between you two, but please don't do anything that could harm Lucas. It's been really hard for him to get where he is today."

Brian shot a cold glance at Aveline, wo

    "I feel like sewing your mouth shut right now," Lucas said quietly.Aveline responded, "I'm afraid that's not possible. There's no—"Before she could finish, his fiery kiss landed on her lips. The kiss was urgent and fierce as if he was venting some deep emotion. It was so intense that Aveline found it hard to breathe.She tried to push him away, but he grabbed her wrist with one hand and pinned it behind her back, pulling her even closer. Seizing the moment, Aveline bit his lip. Instead of stopping, he deepened the kiss.She felt like she was going to suffocate. Was this man crazy? She regretted coming in too early. If she had waited until they were done, she wouldn't be treated like this.His slender fingers slipped under her shirt, skillfully tracing every sensitive spot on her body. She trembled and went limp.Realizing she was no longer struggling, he finally released her, but his nose still touched hers."Aveline, why are you getting so close to Mr. Skyler again? Do you know wh

    Her smile turned bitter. "Lucas, we've been together for a year. Even if you've regained your memory, the memories from the past year haven't disappeared, right? How can you not believe me?"How could he look at her with such suspicion? Aveline couldn't understand it no matter how long she thought about it.Lucas felt a strange pang in his chest and then asked, "Did you report it to the police?"Aveline's tone grew colder. "Yes."Lucas' brow remained tightly furrowed. After a moment, he said, "I'll investigate it."Aveline looked at him. "So, you still refuse to divorce me?"Lucas didn't respond.Aveline continued, "Miss Winter's life matters, but mine doesn't?"Lucas' lips pressed into a straight line. He stared at her for a while before saying, "Your life matters too."Aveline asked, "Then why won't you divorce me?"Divorce, divorce! Didn't she have anything else to say? Was she going to keep mentioning divorce all the time?Lucas felt inexplicably irritated and depressed. His grip

    The atmosphere suddenly became tense.Lucas said coolly, "You've set so many conditions. Now it's my turn."Aveline widened her eyes slightly. "Are you serious? Isn't using me as a shield not enough? Now you want to set conditions too? How shameless can you be?"Lucas was speechless again. He really wanted to strangle her."Stay away from Mr. Skyler from now on."Aveline responded, "That's impossible.""Hmm?" Lucas squinted his eyes in displeasure.Aveline explained, "He's my savior. Without him, I'd be dead by now. So, I can't stay away from him. In the future, if I get the chance, I have to repay him."Lucas asked, "How will you repay him? By marrying him?"Aveline replied, "Well... if he wants to, it's not out of the question.""Ave—Aveline!" Lucas' tone grew harsher. "I'm not joking."Aveline's expression gradually calmed, "Neither am I, Lucas. I don't think you want this to get ugly. Either divorce me or agree to my conditions."Lucas asked coldly, "Get ugly? What do you plan to d

    Brian felt the icy chill emanating from Lucas. Hesitation and struggle filled his gaze, but he remained silent.Lucas looked at him coldly. "Won't speak, huh? Then you can fuck off and never show your face to me again.""Mr. Tudor!" Brian exclaimed in panic. Lucas had saved his life and was his benefactor, and Brian had sworn to follow him for the rest of his life.Brian gritted his teeth and said, "I also found out that Miss Young was being followed by a man. She ran out and was dragged into a small grove by him. Later, Mr. Skyler appeared and saved her.""Bang!"As soon as the words fell, a punch landed directly on Brian's face, knocking him to the ground. Enduring the pain, he hurriedly got back into a kneeling position.Lucas grabbed his collar. "Who gave you the guts?"So, it was true!Aveline really had gone through all that! And what had he done? After she narrowly escaped death, he had said those hurtful things to her! He even misunderstood her relationship with Russell!An e

    Brian froze. As he thought carefully, a wave of shame washed over him.A year ago, when Lucas suddenly disappeared, the entire Tudor family was in turmoil. Lucas' former subordinates searched everywhere but couldn't find him. Given Lucas' condition at the time, anyone who wanted to harm him could have done so easily.Later, Lucas contacted Brian, revealing what his life had been like over the past year. It was Aveline who had taken Lucas in. Aveline had saved Lucas. Sophia had also helped Lucas. However, Brian had only remembered what Sophia did and forgotten about Aveline’s goodwill.He raised his hand and slapped himself on the face. "I was wrong."Aaron said, "Telling me won't help. You need to apologize to Miss Young. If she forgives you, then Lucas would forgive you too.""Alright, I understand!" Brian said and then hung up abruptly.Aaron, left holding the phone, muttered, "Hey, I wasn't finished..." Shaking his head, he clicked his tongue, thinking, “What a blockhead!”Ave

    Selena's face darkened. "No need!"As she spoke, she helped the drunken Aveline move to the side. However, the group of burly men blocked their way again."Hey beautiful, we'll be gentle. Come on, get in the car, we promise you'll have a good time!"With that, they reached out to grab Selena and Aveline."Get lost!" Selena shouted, "If you don't back off, I'll call the police!"The men ignored her threat. Two of them stepped forward and grabbed Selena and Aveline, dragging them toward the car."Let go! Get away! Let go of Ave!"Selena struggled, but she was no match for the strong men. She was quickly dragged to the car. Aveline, barely conscious, was stumbling and about to fall.At that moment, someone rushed over, kicking the man holding Aveline and punching another one in the face. In just a few moves, he had taken down two of the burly men.The others were stunned. Selena took advantage of their surprise to break free and run to Aveline, holding her close.Brian, with a stern expre

    When Aveline woke up, she felt something heavy on her body. Startled, she quickly turned to see what it was. Seeing that it was just Selena's leg draped over her, she breathed a sigh of relief.For a moment, she thought it was Lucas...Shaking her head, she wondered why she was thinking about that scumbag. Moving Selena's leg aside, she got up to wash.After making a simple breakfast, she called Selena to get up.Selena groggily sat up, stared at her for a moment, and then suddenly asked, "Do you remember what happened last night?"Aveline was puzzled. "What happened last night?"Yawning, Selena got out of bed and started telling her about the events of the previous night."Brian Cooper?"Aveline paused after hearing the name. She didn't know this person.Selena said, "Maybe he really was just a good Samaritan who saw us in trouble and stepped in to help. If we see him again, we should thank him.""Yeah, you're right." Aveline nodded.They ate breakfast and left the house together. To

"What do you need, Mr. Tudor?"Lucas kept looking at her face. His expression remained cold and dignified. "I know what happened that night. I can agree to all your conditions.""Oh," Aveline responded without any emotion.Lucas raised an eyebrow. "What's with that reaction?"Av

    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
