The elevator doors remained open, leaving Aveline stuck in a dilemma. She was too scared to step out yet staying inside with the man felt equally dangerous. She could feel his cold, unsettling gaze fixed on her, and her palms began to sweat as tension gripped her.Seconds ticked by, and the elevator began to beep, signaling that the doors had been open too long."Are you getting in or out?" The man finally spoke, his voice raspy and filled with impatience, a voice she didn’t recognize.Aveline bit her lip, wondering why Mason still hadn’t arrived. Even if he had to run, he should have been there by now.But with the man growing more agitated, she knew she couldn’t stall any longer. Glancing at the dark, empty hallway outside, she made the difficult choice to stay in the elevator. At least there were security cameras inside, offering a sliver of protection. If she stepped out into that hallway, anything could happen.She took a few steps back and pressed the button to close the doors.

Aveline hesitated, suddenly considering a possibility she hadn’t thought of before. Could Lucas have secretly arranged for her protection? Maybe those two men were actually there to keep an eye on her.Her feelings grew more complicated.Selena chimed in, "Even if he’s trying to protect you, Aveline, it’s likely for his own reasons."Aveline sighed. "I just don’t get it.""What don’t you get?" "I don’t understand what he really wants," Aveline said with a hint of frustration. "When I was by his side, he was always unpredictable. But now that I’m not around, he seems to be even more intense."She suddenly turned to Selena. "Do you think there’s really something wrong with him?"Selena laughed at her comment. "Well, if you put it that way, maybe he does have some issues."After all, how else could you explain his constant mood swings and erratic behavior?Aveline shook her head. "Forget it. I won’t overthink it. Once I finish the design for his villa, I can finally walk away."Selena no

Aveline tightened her grip on the bag, a flicker of surprise flashing in her eyes as she asked, "How did you know?"Aaron chuckled and then, with a knowing look, said, "I get it, I totally get it. You're preparing a surprise, right? Fine, I won't ask anymore."Aveline looked completely puzzled.But after a moment's thought, she realized that they were all part of the same circle, so it wasn't surprising that Aaron knew about Russell's birthday.Aveline didn't respond. She felt indifferent toward Aaron and had nothing to discuss with him.However, Aaron pulled out his phone and sent a message to Lucas."Guess who I just saw in the elevator?"Lucas replied, "Who?"Aaron texted, "Your ex-wife!"Lucas fell silent.Aaron texted, "Hahaha! But she was holding a bag, probably a birthday gift for you. But how did she know we're having a party here today?"Lucas asked, "Are you with her?"Aaron texted, “Yeah, in the elevator."Lucas replied, “Oh.”Aaron responded, "What do you mean by 'oh'?"Des

Aveline pulled her hand back, giving Rina a cold look. "I have the right to be wherever I want. Don’t you think you’re overstepping, Miss Johnson?"Rina's face darkened further. "You wretch! How dare you show up at Russ’s birthday party? Get out!""Rina!"Russell's voice was noticeably colder as he stood up, pulling Aveline behind him. His usually warm eyes now held a hint of frost as he looked at Rina."Aveline is my guest.""Russ, she’s nothing but a fickle, untrustworthy woman who—"Seeing Russell stand up for Aveline only made Rina’s expression sour even more. She pointed accusingly at Aveline, her face full of resentment.Russell grasped her wrist, gently lowering her hand. "She’s my guest. She came to celebrate my birthday. Rina, you can’t act like this.""Russ!"Rina was furious. She wanted to throw Aveline out! She couldn’t stand seeing another woman near Russell! But with Russell’s expression already darkening, she knew that if she pushed any further, he might kick her out ins

Stepping out of the private room, the cold wind hit Aveline, jolting her back to reality. She abruptly pulled her hand away from Lucas, her eyes filled with confusion and disbelief as she looked at him."Lucas, what did you mean by what you just said?"Lucas glanced at his now empty hand, his expression already turning cold. His dark eyes brewed a storm of danger as he looked at the shock and bewilderment on her face. He let out a cold laugh."Hah, are you really that surprised? I told you, I’m not letting you go."He reached out, his hand gently brushing her face, relishing the turmoil in her eyes."Aveline, the divorce certificate is fake."Aveline’s slender figure swayed violently, and she grabbed his hand, her voice trembling. "Lucas, you’re lying, right? You’re just playing with me, aren’t you?"She couldn’t believe it!How could the divorce certificate be fake?How was that even possible?They had gone to the lawyer's office together, and she had checked the certificate countless
