Chapter 241

Aveline's fingers curled instinctively as she lay in the car. She had actually woken up as soon as they put her in, but she hadn't opened her eyes immediately. Zachary had already left, and it was too late for her to return to the hotel alone, so she pretended to be asleep. There might have been other reasons, but she didn't want to delve into them.She responded coolly, "Yes, any problem with that?""Aveline, you deceived me and took a free ride back, and this is how you repay me?" Lucas was nearly laughing in frustration.Aveline looked at him. "Didn't I say thank you? What more do you want? Should I kneel and kowtow to you?"Lucas was speechless. This woman really knew how to infuriate him!Seeing his increasingly dark expression, Aveline smiled and said, "Lucas, you're upset because you gave a lady a ride back to the hotel? That's pretty petty of you."With that, she turned and walked away.Lucas stood there for a long moment, truly exasperated by her words, before finally return

"Hello,” Aveline greeted.Zachary's voice came through. "How are you doing?""I'm fine. About last night..." Aveline began."I'm sorry," Zachary interrupted. "I got too worked up. I hope I didn't cause you any trouble.""No, you didn't," Aveline replied calmly.There was a brief silence before Zachary spoke again. "There's something I don't know how to tell you."Aveline felt a bit confused. "What's going on?"After a moment of hesitation, Zachary explained, "I need to take over the orphanage, but I have to submit documents for government approval. I submitted them today, but they were rejected. A friend told me that an investor from Cloudflare City pressured the higher-ups. “I have no idea what I did to offend him. Since you and Mr. Lucas are married, could you ask him about it?Aveline's expression grew colder. Lucas pressured the local authorities to prevent Zachary from taking over the orphanage? Why?Zachary was just an ordinary person with no conflicting interests with Lucas.Se

Aveline struggled twice but couldn't break free. Her face turned cold. "What else am I supposed to do? I need to understand why you're targeting Zachary. He hasn't wronged you.""He has," Lucas replied coldly.Aveline was taken aback. "When?"Lucas released her hand and looked at her indifferently. "Why should I tell you? What’s your relationship with him? In what capacity are you questioning me?""You..."Aveline's breath hitched, looking at his shameless expression, feeling a mix of exasperation and helplessness. With him acting like this, she was at a loss.It was clear that Lucas had no intention of letting Zachary off easily. Knowing she was the cause, Aveline realized she had to resolve this issue.Taking a deep breath, she softened her tone. "Lucas, if he did something to upset you, I apologize on his behalf. You're the CEO of DK Group, handsome and magnanimous. Can't you just let it go?"Her words only made Lucas' face grow colder. He scoffed, "You apologize for him? Who do you

"Go check who it is," Lucas instructed.Aveline felt exasperated like she had become his secretary. How infuriating! She walked to the door and opened it, revealing the room service she had ordered. She brought the food inside and set it on the dining table.Lucas got up and walked over, opening the bag. Seeing the pork ribs, his brows furrowed deeply. "You expect me to eat this?"Aveline replied, "This is for me..."Lucas' eyes darkened, and his expression turned grim. Aveline mumbled, "How was I supposed to know you'd be back? If you'd told me, I would've cooked for you."The presidential suite was well-equipped, including a small kitchen where she could easily whip up a simple meal.Lucas said, "You can still cook for me now."Aveline sighed, feeling like she'd dug herself into a hole. She looked at him and asked, "If I cook for you, will you let Zachary go?"Lucas' cold gaze fixed on her. "Is this how you ask for a favor?"Aveline frowned. "Then what will it take for you to let

Lucas smirked. "Then why were you staring at me? Do you like me?"As he spoke, his lips curved into a faint smile. He reached out to caress her face. "I know you've always liked me, but there's no need to be so obvious. Otherwise, I might not be able to resist doing something right here."Aveline was speechless, thinking, “Is he crazy?”She quickly got up from his lap, her cheeks feeling warm, and headed straight for the bathroom.Lucas watched her retreating back, the smile on his lips fading slightly before he returned to his work.Aveline splashed cold water on her face, trying to calm down. Otherwise, she might not be able to resist slapping him. She reminded herself that she needed to ask him for a favor, so she had to be patient and humble.A bitter smile appeared on her face. She was his wife, yet to get him to do something, she had to lower herself and cater to him. She felt like a failure as a wife. Then again, he was even more of a failure as a husband.When she came out of

Lucas said, "You can't stop me."Aveline fell silent.She took a deep breath and asked, "Are you done with your work? Can we talk about Zachary now?"Lucas picked up a glass of water, took a sip, and with a cold expression, replied, "I have a dinner meeting later. Accompany me, and if you do well, I'll consider letting him go."Aveline frowned. "Can't you just say that if I do well, you'll let him go? Why add 'consider'?"What if he were to change his mind and decided not to let Zachary go?Lucas looked at her playfully. "You're quite clever."Aveline was speechless.She didn’t like that kind of compliment.Lucas lifted his chin slightly. "Go change into the dress."Following his gaze, Aveline noticed a dress on the other side of the sofa. She walked over, picked it up, and went straight into the room to change.Fortunately, the dress was quite conservative. It highlighted her figure while covering those ambiguous marks.When she came out, she saw that Lucas had also changed into a sui

Aveline stared at his back. If looks could kill, he would be riddled with wounds by now. How infuriating!"Mrs. Tudor, please get in the car," Desmond urged cautiously.Aveline looked at him. "I told you not to call me that. Don't you find it disgusting?"Desmond fell silent.After speaking, Aveline got into the car. Looking at Lucas' cold, handsome face, she struggled to suppress her emotions. After mentally calming herself for a while, she said, "Lucas, I don't mean anything by it. I'm just thinking of you. If Miss Winter were to find out you don't want a divorce, she'd be heartbroken. What if she jumps off a building again?"She appeared genuinely concerned.Lucas' anger only intensified. He closed his eyes and ignored her.Seeing his darkened expression, Aveline felt oddly satisfied and turned to look out the window instead of saying more.The car drove smoothly down the road.Arthur Town was just a small county. Its nightlife was nowhere near as lively as that of a big city,

Lucas pushed her away gently and took out a small box. "Happy birthday."Rebecca happily took it. "Thank you, Lucas! I love the gift you gave me!"The gift itself didn't matter; what mattered was who gave it.Lucas smiled warmly. "I'm glad you like it."Rebecca's eyes landed on Aveline, who was holding Lucas' arm. Her face clouded over. In a flash, she shoved Aveline aside and latched onto Lucas herself."Who do you think you are?" Rebecca snapped. "What gives you the right to hang on Lucas like that?"Her arrogant demeanor resembled that of a spoiled little princess.Taken by surprise, Aveline lost her balance. Before she could fall, Lucas reached out and steadied her.A cold glint flashed in her eyes, but before she could say anything, she caught Lucas' warning gaze. Fine, she'd endure it.Rebecca clung to Lucas' arm as they walked inside. "Lucas, I heard about what happened to you. I'm so glad you came back safe. My father has been worried and is waiting for you inside.""Mm, I'm f

Lucas' body stiffened as he looked at her soft, warm smile, and his heart softened along with it."Alright.""Mr. Tudor, you're so kind," Aveline said sweetly.Rebecca was livid! Her cousin had been right; this woman was nothing but a slut! No way would she allow such a wretch to stay by Lucas’ side. Lucas was hers!"Dad, I want Lucas to keep me company for a while. It's my birthday today, so can we skip the boring business talk, please?" Rebecca clung to Reynold's arm, pouting.Reynold looked at his daughter with fondness, gently tapping her nose. "Come on, sweetie. You're a big girl now. No need to hang onto Lucas like that, okay?""Alright, alright, I know," Rebecca replied, then turned to Lucas. "Lucas, let's go outside, okay? My garden is beautiful, and I haven't shown it to anyone else. I just want to share it with you!"Reynold added, "Lucas, it's Rebecca's birthday today. Let's not discuss business. You young people should go have fun. No need to stay with me."Lucas nodded

Lucas said calmly, "Your friends have arrived. You should go see what gifts they brought you."Rebecca bit her lip in frustration, shot Aveline a venomous glare, and walked away, lifting her dress as she went.Aveline sighed. "Lucas, I think you're setting me up to be hated."Lucas replied, "Am I?"Aveline said, "That little princess now holds a grudge against me. Since you brought me here, you have to ensure my safety. If anything were to happen to me, it’d be on you."Lucas' eyes locked onto hers, and a faint smile curved his lips. "Don't worry, you won't be missing any limbs."Aveline instinctively shrank back, not wanting to continue the topic. She had to admit, the rose volcano was indeed beautiful, and she couldn't help but take a few more glances.Lucas and Aveline strolled around the garden, admiring the scenery. When they reached a pavilion, Lucas's phone rang. He checked the caller ID and said, "I need to take this call."Aveline nodded and stayed in the pavilion, not wander
