Chapter 591

Lucas, with his striking features and tall, commanding presence, stood out starkly from the rest of the bus passengers. His innate air of nobility seemed out of place in the crowded vehicle. He held onto the handrail with one hand, the other casually tucked into his pocket, his gaze resting on Aveline, who sat quietly in her seat. A faint smile tugged at his lips, drawing the attention of several onlookers.Two girls sitting behind them took out their phones to snap a photo, whispering, "He’s so handsome. I take this bus all the time, but I’ve never seen him before."Her friend chuckled. "Didn’t you notice he’s been watching that girl the whole time? They’re clearly a couple!"An older woman also noticed Lucas and approached, patting him on the arm. "Young man, do you have a girlfriend?"Lucas raised his brows slightly, not expecting the sudden question. But his eyes fell on Aveline as he replied, "I have a wife."The woman glanced at Aveline with a hint of regret on her face. Hearing

Aveline frowned slightly and asked, "That is strange. Did you change the locks?"Selena nodded. "I did, but it didn’t help. I’m starting to wonder if these thieves are expert locksmiths. Maybe they learned how to pick locks before deciding to become burglars."Aveline chuckled at her comment but still said, "If it’s that unsafe here, maybe you should find a new place to live."Selena sank into the couch with a sigh. "I’d love to, but the landlord won’t refund my deposit. It’s a lot of money."Aveline gave her a sympathetic look. "How much longer is your lease?"Selena thought for a moment. "Just one more month. After that, I’m definitely moving.""Good." Aveline nodded. That seemed like the best solution.But she couldn’t shake the feeling of unease—why were there repeated break-ins at Selena’s place? She recalled the first time it happened, which coincided with her staying there.Unable to make sense of it, Aveline got up and headed to the kitchen to check what ingredients were avail

Aveline pulled out her phone. "What are you standing there for? Call the police."Selena, however, seemed unfazed. "I’ve reported it before, but nothing was stolen, and the security cameras were out of order, so it was pointless."Aveline frowned. "But it’s too dangerous for you to stay here. You should come to stay at my place."Selena hesitated. "But... the deposit..."Aveline’s expression grew stern. "What’s more important, your deposit or your life?"Selena sighed. "The deposit..."Ignoring her, Aveline started packing up Selena’s belongings. In no time, she had most of it sorted out.When she turned around, she saw Selena still organizing her collection of stuffed toys.Aveline felt a bit exasperated. "You can move those later. Right now, just take what you need."Selena hugged a large plushie tightly and said, "This is essential. I can’t sleep without it."Aveline was speechless.Selena then clutched a plush carrot. "And this one stays by my side, like a fortress of security."Av

Aveline’s expression grew serious as she asked, "Selena, don’t you have any other thoughts about this?"Selena took a bite of her chicken wing and replied, "What thoughts? I don’t have any. If he wants to marry for business’ sake, let him."Aveline frowned. "But what about the two of you…?"Selena laughed at that. "Oh, you’re worried about that? Don’t be. If he really goes through with this marriage, I won’t be involved with him anymore. The thing I despise most in this life is being the other woman."Aveline finally felt relieved. It was a great relief that Selena thought this way. Regardless of what Aaron decided to do, if Selena maintained this attitude, he wouldn’t be able to keep her tangled up in his life.Aaron didn’t have the leverage over Selena that Lucas did over Aveline.Seeing Aveline lost in thought, Selena said, "Alright, stop worrying. Those things aren’t going to happen.""Yeah." Aveline nodded, pushing the thoughts aside.After they finished eating, the two of them to

Aveline fell silent, realizing there was no way to resist the combined efforts of Sidney and Selena. She nodded reluctantly. "Alright, tomorrow it is."Sidney’s face lit up with joy, his eyes sparkling like stars, making it hard for anyone not to soften toward him.As the sky darkened and the last traces of orange faded, the lights in the neighborhood flickered on, and the sounds of laughter echoed in the distance.Selena suddenly remarked, "Why do I feel like we’re a family of three right now?"Aveline shot her a blank look before turning to Sidney. "She’s always like this—don’t mind her."Sidney’s face softened with a smile. "I think her personality is charming."Selena immediately puffed up with pride. "Did you hear that? Did you hear what he said? And you still want to ignore me? Admit it—you don’t love me anymore!"Aveline was speechless.She quickly changed the topic. "By the way, have you encountered any challenges at work recently? I noticed that Maria hasn’t been taking you ou

“Pfft…” Selena couldn’t hold back her laughter, bursting out at Lucas’s audacity.She glanced at Sidney and asked, "Do you think he's dreaming too?"Sidney offered a faint smile, keeping his reaction subtle.Lucas ignored the two of them, his intense gaze fixed solely on Aveline.The elevator doors had closed, and it continued its ascent."I never said I’d invite you," Aveline stated firmly.Lucas’ handsome face remained indifferent. "Oh? Well, it’s not too late to say it now."Selena suddenly turned to Sidney and asked, "Are all men this thick-skinned?"Sidney responded, "Not all of us."Selena rubbed her chin thoughtfully. "Or maybe it’s selective hearing? They just ignore what they don’t want to hear."Sidney remained silent this time, perhaps because there was some truth to it.Lucas’ sharp gaze shifted to Selena, who met his stare without backing down, even lifting her chin defiantly. However, Lucas’s imposing presence was overwhelming, and despite her initial bravado, Selena soon

Aveline smiled wryly. "Don’t say that. Our conversation gave me a lot of new insights too. We should definitely discuss and explore these ideas more often.""Absolutely," Sidney replied, his eyes shining brightly. Then he added, "I should get going now."Aveline nodded. "Alright, take care on your way home."She watched as Sidney stepped into the elevator. As soon as she closed the door and turned around, she found Selena standing behind her with a teasing grin on her face."What’s up with you?" Aveline asked, startled and confused by her friend’s expression.Selena crossed her arms, her eyes gleaming with mischief. "So, did you feel that subtle, romantic tension yet?"Aveline’s mouth twitched slightly. "You’re imagining things. We spent the entire time working on a design concept."Selena’s playful smile vanished. "How dull! If it were me, alone in a room with such a charming and shy guy, I’d definitely make a move."As if lost in her thoughts, Selena’s expression grew a little dreamy

The next day.When Aveline arrived at the studio, she was shocked to see Sidney at his desk, his face covered in bruises and his fingers struggling to type on the keyboard.She hurried over and asked, "Sidney, what happened to you?"Sidney looked up at her and managed a smile, though the effort caused his lips to twitch in pain, contorting his expression. "I'm... fine," he said with difficulty. "After I left your place last night, I ran into Mr. Tudor. He suggested we spar a bit, so I agreed. Don’t worry about me, I’m really okay."Aveline frowned. "Just a spar?"If it was just a sparring match, how did he end up in such a bad state?Sidney chuckled softly. " Yeah, it was just sparring. I’m really okay—it looks worse than it is, just some surface wounds. Please, don’t hold it against Mr. Tudor because of me."There was a hint of self-deprecation in his eyes. "In the end, it’s just because I’m not strong enough."Aveline pressed her lips together and then turned to leave. When she retu

Lucas scanned the information briefly before saying, "Make it clear—any hospital that accepts his mother will be considered an enemy of the Tudor family.""Understood!" Desmond nodded and left the office.Lucas picked up his phone again, glaring at the image that had irritated him earlier. A cold, disdainful glint flashed in his dark eyes.Later that afternoon, Sidney received a frantic call from the caregiver."Sidney, what do we do? Your mother’s been kicked out of the hospital! They said the medical bills have gone unpaid for too long, and they won’t take her back."Sidney shot up from his seat. "Where are you now?""We’re at the hospital entrance. Your mother’s passed out, but no one’s coming to help her. Sidney, what should we do?"Panic overtook Sidney as he quickly left the studio.As he rushed out, he nearly collided with Aveline. She stepped back and asked, "What’s wrong?""Sorry, something’s happened at home. I need to go," Sidney said, his face full of anxiety."Do you need

Russell glanced at her and asked, "Do you think this is just a coincidence?"Aveline lowered her gaze, her expression complicated. "I have a pretty good idea who’s behind this."When she first met with Sidney, he had already told her that none of the major hospitals in Cloudflare City would admit his mother for treatment, no matter how much he pleaded.In Cloudflare City, there were plenty of people with the power to do something like this, but only one person who actually would.So, she had called Russell.By moving Sidney’s mother to the Skyler family’s hospital, they were out of the reach of the Tudors. With Russell’s influence, Sidney’s mother wouldn’t be turned away again.She felt deeply grateful for Russell’s timely help but was equally saddened, unable to understand why Lucas was being so ruthless.Was he really that heartless?Russell studied her. "Aveline, if you keep going back and forth with him, the number of people he targets will only grow."Aveline didn’t respond, a fai
