Sophia directly threw herself into Lucas' arms. "Lucas, what's going on? I'm scared..."Lucas's body stiffened for a moment. He grabbed her arms and pushed her away. "It might be a power trip. I'll go check."Sophia tried to cling to him again, wanting to hold him. "Don't go. I'm scared."Her perfume wafted over, lingering around Lucas' nose. His brows furrowed deeply. He pushed her away again and took out his phone to turn on the flashlight. "Hold this and shine some light for me."Sophia's expression froze, but she still took the phone.Lucas went to the circuit breaker and checked it. Sure enough, it was a power trip. He flipped the switch, and the entire room lit up."It's fixed." Lucas took his phone back from her, speaking in a flat tone.Sophia bit her lip. In the struggle, her neckline had lowered, revealing a glimpse of her cleavage. But Lucas seemed not to notice. He picked up his coat. "It's late. I'll be going now. Take care."Sophia grabbed the hem of his coat. "Lucas, I'

As Aveline exited the company, she breathed a sigh of relief when she realized Lucas hadn't followed her. She had been genuinely concerned about what that troublesome man might do next.She walked towards the subway station. It was convenient to take the subway from the company to Maple Garden since it was the last stop. However, as she turned a corner, she noticed someone familiar following her.She paused and glanced back, recognizing the man who had saved her last night and strangely apologized to her this morning.How did he know where she worked? Why was he following her? What did he want?Aveline became vigilant and quickened her pace towards the subway station. After she swiped her card and entered, she looked back and saw the man following her inside.Her breath hitched as she pulled out her phone, ready to call the police at any moment. If he made any move against her, she would definitely report him! For now, she couldn't be sure if he was just going the same way by coinci

The policewoman left the room.Lucas walked over and stood in front of her, saying, "Brian works for me."Aveline's eyes widened slightly. "You sent him to follow me? Are you insane?"Lucas was speechless.A vein in his temple throbbed. He said in a deep voice, "He made a mistake that caused me to misunderstand you, so he came to apologize."What he didn't expect was that Brian would apologize directly to Aveline without explaining who he was. It was a miracle that Aveline hadn't called the police to have him sent to a mental hospital.Aveline asked, puzzled, "What did he do wrong?"Lucas briefly explained the events of that night. Aveline nodded in understanding. "Oh."Lucas looked at her. "How do you want to handle this?"Aveline suddenly chuckled.Lucas frowned. "What's so funny?"Aveline replied, "He knew to apologize for his mistake. What about you?"Lucas paused, his Adam's apple bobbing as his eyes grew darker and more unreadable. The narrow room felt suddenly suffocating, with

"Hello?"Lucas had just returned to the Tudor residence when he received Aveline's call. He answered almost immediately.Aveline tried to keep her voice steady, but a hint of tremor slipped through. "Lucas, where is the bodyguard you arranged for me? The one who's supposed to protect me closely?"Lucas noticed the urgency in her tone and asked, "What happened?"Aveline insisted, "I need a bodyguard close to me at all times."Lucas replied, "If you don't tell me what happened, I can't help you."Aveline retorted, "I don't care. I just want a bodyguard who will immediately appear whenever I need him.”Lucas's eyes darkened when he sensed Aveline was in danger. "Alright, I'll arrange it.""Do it quickly," Aveline said before hanging up.Somehow, hearing his voice eased the fear and anxiety in her heart.She clutched her phone and gave a bitter laugh. Was she becoming dependent on him? What would she do after the divorce without him? How would she survive?Or perhaps... she might not even

Lucas glanced at her and started eating even faster.Aveline widened her eyes in disbelief. At that moment, she completely forgot about the gruesome photo, focusing solely on not letting Lucas finish all the food.This food was hers! All hers!In the end, only one chicken wing remained on the plate.Quick as a flash, Aveline grabbed it, grinning at Lucas as she put it in her mouth.Lucas set down his fork and elegantly wiped his mouth with a napkin, his eyes softening slightly.Aveline savored the last chicken wing, feeling completely satisfied.Standing up, she waved her hand. "Lu, you clean up!"She stepped forward, then suddenly stopped, staring ahead at the empty space, blinking rapidly to hold back a surge of sadness.Had she forgotten he was no longer her Lu?"You came uninvited and ate my food, so you should clean up," she said without looking back, then went into the bedroom.Lucas watched her retreating figure, his gaze darkening.That one word, "Lu," had momentarily taken him

He... he actually came out without wearing anything!What a pervert!Aveline quickly turned her head, hurried to the dressing room, and grabbed one of her bath towels, throwing it directly at him."Put this on quickly. I don't want to go blind!"Lucas was speechless.The towel was pink, not very big, just enough to wrap around his waist. After wrapping the lower half of his body with the towel, Aveline took one look and couldn't help but burst into laughter!She found it hilarious and couldn’t stop laughing at the sight of a tall man with long arms and legs wrapped in a pink, tight-fitting towel.Seeing her smile, Lucas' eyes softened slightly.He went straight to the bed, lifted the covers, and lay down.Aveline was stunned. "What are you doing?"Lucas replied, "Sleeping."Aveline retorted, "You can't sleep here, this is my room!"Lucas said, "Didn’t you want someone to protect you closely?"This was considered close enough, right?The smile on Aveline's face gradually faded, her tone

Aveline was startled and hurriedly tried to pull away.But Lucas tightened his grip on her ankle and swiftly pulled her onto him.Her body instantly stiffened."Are you awake?" Lucas opened his eyes, still slightly groggy, but his gaze was dark and intense, fixed on her."With you squirming against me, of course I woke up."Aveline's face immediately turned red!She wasn’t squirming against him! She was just trying to move her leg away!Lucas wrapped his arm around her waist, pressing her tightly against him, his voice husky as he asked, "Did you have a nightmare last night?"Aveline didn't dare move a muscle, afraid that any movement might provoke this man’s wild instincts."No," she mumbled, her long eyelashes trembling. "Let go of me, I need to get up."Lucas shifted slightly, seemingly unintentionally, but Aveline's body grew even more rigid."Lucas, stop doing something so crazy in the morning!" she said through gritted teeth.Lucas gazed at her intently. "If I don’t act crazy in

Aveline's breathing was still a bit fast, her eyes alluringly tinged with red at the corners, but her gaze remained cold and emotionless.Lucas didn't want to see her so composed.Yet, it seemed he could do nothing about it.The bed was still in disarray, and the atmosphere between them was tense and oppressive, with an unspoken and indescribable feeling hanging in the air.After a long while, Lucas got up and went straight to the bathroom.Aveline closed her eyes, her breathing now calm.By the time she finished tidying up, it was too late to make breakfast. She left without looking back, intending to buy a sandwich at the breakfast shop.Lucas came downstairs, and the car was already waiting, but Aveline had walked to the entrance of the complex.Brian, who was driving, had a serious expression. "Mr. Tudor, Miss Young just walked past."Lucas replied, "So what?"Brian asked, "Should we give her a ride?"Lucas, sitting in the back seat, closed his eyes. "What do you think?"Brian kept

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
