Chapter 601

"You!"A flash of anger appeared in Aveline's eyes, but it quickly faded away. After all, she was the one asking for help. Even though the biggest villain was him, what could she do? He held the power, able to act as he pleased.Aveline softened her stance and said, "Lucas, I'm begging you, can you stop targeting everyone else?"Her tone was gentle, like a soft stream of water flowing over the heart, warm and comforting. She used to speak to him like this all the time. But it had been a long while since she last spoke to him this way.Lucas tightened his grip on her chin and suddenly leaned in closer. Aveline's eyelashes fluttered twice, but she didn’t pull away. She thought he was about to do what he usually liked to do, but unexpectedly, he released her and said coldly, "Make me dinner."Feeling relieved, she nodded. "Alright."He just wanted her to cook; it wasn't a challenge for her. She headed straight into the kitchen, using whatever ingredients were available, and started cooki

Chapter 602

Aveline's body tensed, instinctively wanting to struggle, but she forced herself to remain still. She knew this was what he ultimately wanted; everything that happened before was just a prelude. She had already prepared herself mentally for this.But just when she expected him to take the next step, he simply held her for a long time. Aveline's body remained rigid, her lips pressed into a tight line.Lucas could sense her tension. The living room was so quiet that the subtle sound of their intertwined breathing was the only thing that broke the silence.Suddenly, Lucas released her, his deep, magnetic voice cool as he said, "Goodbye."Aveline froze, surprised by his words. She looked at him, confused.Lucas frowned, "What's with that expression? Are you disappointed?"Aveline quickly stood up. "It's late. I'll head home now."Without waiting for a response, she hurried out. Lucas watched her retreating figure until the door closed, cutting off his view.He pulled out a cigarette, lit i

"Friends?"Lucas scoffed as if he'd just heard a joke. "Selena’s been doing everything she can to push you two together. She’s practically ready to throw you an engagement party, and you’re telling me it’s just friendship?"Aveline's lips curled slightly. "She just loves playing matchmaker, but I decide who I want to date or make friends with.”Lucas replied, "Then tell her that playing matchmaker will only cause trouble."Aveline's lips twitched again. Selena would matchmake with any man except Lucas. Her disdain for him ran deep.Aveline tried again, saying, "So, can you stop targeting Sidney, please?"Lucas' expression turned colder. "We'll see."Just then, the elevator doors opened, and he walked out without another word, leaving her with yet another ambiguous answer. Aveline sighed helplessly. Why was it so hard to reach an agreement with him?…When she arrived at the studio, she noticed Sidney looking exhausted. It was clear he hadn't rested well the previous night. However, t

Aveline quickly waved her hands and said, "No need, Ma’am. I came to visit you, so let me stay here and chat with you for a while."Sidney chimed in, "Perfect timing—I have something to take care of, so you two can talk."Ruth paused, then smiled helplessly. "This rascal."Aveline sat down by the bedside and began chatting with Ruth, learning a lot about Sidney's past. It seemed Ruth hadn’t had a chance to chat like this in a long time, and once she started, she couldn’t stop.By the time Sidney returned, Ruth was in the middle of sharing some of his childhood embarrassments."Mom," Sidney quickly interjected, "I was only gone for a short while, and you're already spilling all my secrets?"Ruth chuckled warmly. "Every kid has their share of embarrassing moments. It's nothing to stress over."Sidney sighed.Aveline looked at him with a smile. "Did you get everything sorted?"Sidney nodded. "Yeah, all done."Aveline stood up and turned to Ruth. "It's getting late, so I’ll head out now. P

Chapter 605

Aveline felt a surge of frustration building up inside her. Lucas was so unpredictable! However, she couldn't afford to give up now—not when things were still unresolved. Especially after her conversation with Ruth today, the guilt and responsibility weighed even heavier on her. If it weren't for her, Ruth wouldn't have suffered so much.Exhaling slowly, Aveline asked, "Lucas, why don't you want to talk to me? Is it something I said? Should I change the way I speak?"Lucas raised an eyebrow, clearly annoyed. He was starting to think he should limit her time with Selena—she was definitely picking up some bad habits.Without warning, he grabbed her and yanked her inside, slamming the door shut before pinning her against it."Uh…" Aveline let out a soft gasp, caught off guard by his sudden move.Lucas stared at her intensely. "Go ahead, change it. Let's see.""I…" Aveline started to speak but stopped short when she met his gaze. The words seemed to stick in her throat as if she couldn't

Chapter 606

Aveline looked at Selena helplessly and said, "I still want to live a long life."Selena slumped on the couch and said, "So what now? You can’t get rid of him, but you can’t accept him either."It was a frustrating situation.Aveline’s mood lightened a bit as she walked toward her bedroom, saying over her shoulder, "One step at a time. No matter what, I won’t let anyone around me get hurt by him."Whatever Sidney's feelings for her might be, that was his business. She couldn't control that, but she could control herself and keep her distance from him.After her shower, Aveline felt much calmer. If today didn’t go as planned, she’d try again tomorrow—or the day after, or even the next month. No matter how cold-hearted Lucas was, she was determined to make him stop targeting Sidney.…In the days that followed, Aveline began making breakfast for Lucas every morning. However, despite waiting at his door until she was almost late for work, he never came out.Three days later, she finally

Lucas' gaze was cold and deep as he responded, "Even as friends, you should approach business with seriousness. If your proposal can’t convince others, handing it directly to me is just a waste of my time."Judy bit her lip slightly, her eyes filled with a hint of disappointment as she looked at him. "Mr. Tudor, must you always be so harsh? I’m really curious—how did your ex-wife manage to live with you?"Lucas replied, "So, you're curious about other people's married lives now? That’s a bit inappropriate, don’t you think?"Judy pouted playfully. "You know that's not what I meant."Lucas remained indifferent. "Actually, I don’t."A strange feeling crossed Judy’s mind. Lucas’ attitude toward her seemed different now. She remembered how he used to treat her well, even to the point of neglecting Aveline for her. That special attention had caused Sophia to constantly target her. But it didn’t matter—Sophia was never really her competition.Now that Sophia had been kicked out of the Summer

Aveline ordered all of Lucas' favorite dishes, then handed the menu back to the server and looked at Judy. "Did you get all that, Miss Thompson?""I...," Judy hesitated, surprised that Aveline would take the initiative to tell her all this—as if she were trying to teach her. What kind of thought process was this? What exactly was Aveline thinking?Hearing Aveline’s words, Lucas' expression immediately turned colder, and the tension around him seemed to thicken.But Aveline appeared unfazed and calmly continued, "This way, you won’t have to ask him next time. I’m sure you’ve noticed by now that he’s not much of a talker."Judy felt a pang of irritation. "You don't need to worry about that. After spending more time together, I'll naturally pick up on these things.""Alright then," Aveline nodded, as if satisfied with the response.She then turned to Lucas and asked, "Have you thought about what I mentioned earlier?"Lucas’ sharp, handsome features hardened, and he didn’t even bother to g

The slap echoed loudly through the restroom.Judy clutched her cheek, staring at Aveline in disbelief. "You actually dared to hit me?"Aveline’s gaze was icy as she looked at her. "Yes, I did. Miss Thompson, you’re truly ungrateful. I tried to help you, and you turned around and insulted me. Don’t you think you deserved it?"Judy’s eyes filled with rage. "No one has ever dared to treat me like this! Aveline, you’re finished!"Aveline raised an eyebrow. "Oh? And how exactly do you plan to finish me? I’ve recorded our conversation, Miss Thompson. So, if anything happens to me in the near future, you’ll be the prime suspect."Judy’s fury intensified as she glared at Aveline. "You just wait."Aveline let out a slight scoff, not bothering to respond further.Judy stormed out in anger, while Aveline calmly walked back toward the dining area. As she turned a corner, she found Lucas leaning against the wall, his expression cold as he looked at her."You’ve got some nerve, laying a hand on the

Resign.Leave.To disappear without a trace.If no one could find her, then those around her wouldn’t get caught in the crossfire. Aveline pressed her lips together, feeling that this plan might actually work.She had no close family, and only a few friends—Selena, Sidney, and Russell. Lucas couldn’t touch Russell, so Selena was his only leverage. If she could find a way to leave with Selena, it would solve the problem.And Sidney? Once she was gone, Lucas would have no reason to trouble him anymore.Yes, it seemed like a solid plan.Aveline pulled out her phone, hesitating on whether to tell Selena about her idea. No need to rush—she’d wait and see. If things didn’t improve, she would consider leaving.The whole afternoon, Aveline was preoccupied, her mind weighed down by her thoughts. Her mood didn’t improve even after work.When she returned to Maple Garden and stepped into the elevator, two others followed her inside. Aveline instinctively looked up, and when she saw who it was, he
