Chapter 541

How ridiculous.All the plans she had carefully crafted, all the strategies she’d designed to punish others, had ended up being futile—like punching into thin air.Weak and ineffective.Even her anger felt useless because she was up against Lucas.She couldn’t possibly fight against him!If he wanted, he could block every path she tried to take.It had been that way with Bobby before, and now it was the same with Sophia.What kind of person had she been entangled with for so long?Aveline’s gaze grew distant as she stared blankly into the darkness ahead, which seemed like an endless abyss slowly engulfing her.Russell grasped her hand. "Aveline, are you okay?""I... I'm fine," Aveline murmured, her lips trembling slightly.She was fine—of course, she was fine. It was just another failure, nothing more. It didn’t matter.Silent tears slipped down her cheeks, leaving a cold trail in their wake. She reached up to touch her face, and when she looked down, her fingers were wet with glisteni

Aveline paused for a moment, her grip on the phone tightening slightly as she responded in a dry voice, "I don't think I ever said he loved me."Sasha seemed to sigh on the other end. "Aveline, we've lost."Aveline closed her eyes briefly before saying, "I'm sorry, Miss Winter, for dragging you into this. If you’ve suffered any losses because of me, please don’t hesitate to let me know."Sasha let out a bitter laugh. "No, there’s no loss. I chose to work with you willingly, so I’ll bear whatever consequences come."Aveline fell silent for a moment. Neither of them had expected things to turn out this way.She could never have imagined that Lucas would step in to help Sophia.Why?That question had been nagging at her all along.Why would he help Sophia?Right now, Aveline felt an overwhelming urge to confront Lucas, to ask him what he really meant by all of this.Sasha's voice broke through her thoughts. "Aveline, I need to take care of things on my end. Let's stay in touch if there ar

Lucas turned his cold gaze to Desmond. "What's wrong with her?"Desmond looked bewildered. "I-I don't know."The last time he had seen Aveline at the hospital, she hadn’t been like this. But now, she seemed completely distant, cold, and unapproachable.What had happened during this time?Lucas’ voice was sharp as he ordered, "Find out.""Yes." Desmond nodded.Instead of leaving, Lucas headed to the basement level. As if something had crossed his mind, he said, "Have Brian meet me.""Understood."At DK Group.As soon as Lucas entered the CEO's office, there was a knock on the door."Come in."Brian pushed the door open and stepped inside, looking slightly uneasy. "Mr. Tudor."Seated in his chair, Lucas asked coldly, "You’ve been keeping an eye on Aveline. Did you notice anything unusual about her?"Brian’s eyes flickered for a moment. He hadn’t followed Aveline last night, but he could still report what had happened earlier."Russell went to pick up Miss Young, and they went to the seas

Vivian took out her phone and dialed a number, her gaze locked on Aveline across the room, a hint of venom in her eyes."Hello, Miss Winter? Can you help me? I want to get rid of that bitch, Aveline!"...Maria noticed that something was off with Aveline.She seemed distant, uninterested in anything, yet she continued to mechanically complete her tasks.Maria shared this with Lucas.At that moment, Lucas was reviewing the information Desmond had gathered, his brows furrowed in thought.Russell had taken Sophia and locked her in a shipping container, supposedly as revenge on Aveline. But what did that have to do with Aveline's change in behavior?Lucas spoke in a low voice, "Keep an eye on Brian—something's off about him."Desmond was startled. "Really? But hasn’t he been protecting Miss Young all this time?"Lucas’ voice turned cold. "I said watch him. Stop questioning me.""Yes, sir."It wasn’t difficult for Desmond to investigate Brian, but what he found left him unsettled.By evenin

"Surprised, aren't you?" Desmond remarked, noticing Brian's shocked expression, his own smile tinged with bitterness."Of course, we all thought Sophia saved Mr. Tudor, believing her to be a great hero. But later, we uncovered the truth—she would stop at nothing to achieve her goals."Desmond put the tablet away. "Brian, everything you’ve held onto for so long was based on a lie.""How could this be?" Brian muttered to himself, disbelief evident in his voice. "How could this happen?"Lucas regarded him with cold indifference. "You've been with me for so long, yet you’ve learned nothing."Brian's entire body trembled as he looked at Lucas with pleading eyes. "Mr. Tudor, I realize my mistake now. I truly do. Please, just give me one more chance..."His voice broke, and he began to tremble uncontrollably.Because deep down, he knew that Lucas wouldn't grant him another chance.Lucas cast a final, indifferent glance at Brian before turning to Desmond. "Cut his tendons and dump him in the D

Russell pondered for a moment before saying, "Tell me everything you know."Aveline nodded and carefully recounted the situation as it had unfolded.After a while, Russell suddenly chuckled softly.Aveline looked at him, puzzled. "What’s so funny?"Russell responded, "Aveline, I have a bold theory.""Go on," Aveline urged, her eyes filled with curiosity.Russell pulled the car over to the side of the road, resting his hand on the steering wheel. A playful, almost mischievous smile spread across his striking features. "What if," he began, "someone impersonated Bobby and committed those acts, framing him in the process?"Aveline’s eyes widened slowly as the possibility sank in. She clenched the small cookie in her hand, her mind racing.She had never considered such a scenario before!Thinking back, in all the videos and photos Lucas had shown her, "Bobby" had always been wearing a hat and mask. The figure’s build had certainly resembled Bobby's, but what if it wasn’t him?What if it was

The atmosphere in the elevator was tense, an odd mix of coldness and faint relaxation. The oppressive mood seemed to dissipate only when it encountered the light conversation between Russell and Aveline, creating a strange and suffocating feeling.The elevator continued its smooth ascent. Not long after, the doors opened, and Lucas strode out, his expression unusually stern.Russell raised an eyebrow in mild surprise as he watched Lucas’ retreating figure. He hadn’t done anything, which was completely out of character for him. Could it be that he had really given up on Aveline?As the elevator doors closed, Russell’s gaze shifted to Aveline, who was staring at the closed doors, lost in thought.No, she wasn’t staring at the doors—she had been watching Lucas.Now that the doors were shut, her view was simply blocked.A cold glint flickered in Russell’s eyes as he asked, "What are you thinking about?"Aveline’s eyelashes fluttered slightly. "I’m just wondering what role he’s playing in a

Aveline was speechless.Although she had already noticed something off between them, hearing it directly from Selena left her at a loss for words.It wasn’t entirely surprising that things had escalated to this point. Aaron’s attention on Selena had always been unusually intense, and Selena hadn’t been cautious enough.But… wasn’t it a bit late to be thinking about leaving now?Aveline voiced her concerns.Selena leaned in closer and whispered, "Ave, I’ve got it all figured out. I’m not going to leave by plane or train. I’ll take a bus, one that goes through the countryside on back roads. Once I’m safely out of Cloudflare City, he won’t be able to find me even if he tries."Aveline frowned. "But that’s not safe."Selena replied, "What’s safe anymore? Staying in Cloudflare City is the real danger. Besides, I just decided to leave on a whim—he won’t know when I’m actually going."Aveline still wasn’t convinced and asked, "What about your job?"Selena answered, "I quit. I’ve already start

Aveline packed the small cookies into the bag, making sure everything was secure as she said, 'Since we’re short of time, I made some food that will stay fresh and still taste good. You can eat it on the road.Selena blinked, then quickly ran over and hugged her tightly. "Ave, you’re too good to me! Why don’t we just run away together?"Aveline smiled. "Alright, enough of that. Go wash your face—I’ll drive you to the outskirts."Selena needed to be at the bus stop in the early morning, so she had to head out tonight.But Selena shook her head. "No need. I’ve already arranged for someone to pick me up. You should stay home and rest. I’ll be fine."However, Aveline insisted, "No, I won’t feel at ease unless I personally take you."Seeing how determined Aveline looked, Selena knew Aveline had made up her mind. She hugged Aveline tightly and said, "I’m really going to miss you!"Aveline guided Selena to the bathroom and watched as she freshened up, while she went over the packed items one

Selena couldn’t sleep at all. Lying in bed, she felt a mix of nervousness and excitement. The thought of finally leaving Cloudflare City—and getting away from that insufferable Aaron—filled her with anticipation. She found herself practically counting down the minutes."Bang! Bang! Bang!"Suddenly, loud knocks came from the front door, startling Selena. She quickly got up and looked toward the door. The young girl with her woke up, confused. "What's happening?" A sinking feeling of dread washed over Selena. Could they have found her already? So soon?She got out of bed and said, "I’ll go check. You two stay here."The girl looked uneasy. "Selena, are you sure everything’s okay?"Selena nodded. "Don’t worry, it’ll be fine."She quickly dressed and stepped outside. "Who is it?" she asked cautiously."It’s me, Selena. Hurry, come out!" It was Aveline’s voice at the door.Selena was taken aback and quickly opened the door. "Ave, what are you doing here?"Hadn’t she already gone home? B
