"Leo, every extra day you stay in Cloudflare City increases the risk of exposure," the voice on the phone warned.Leo replied calmly, "Relax, I know what I'm doing. Besides, the game has only just begun. I need to enjoy it thoroughly before I leave."With that, he ended the call. The night grew darker, and his figure melted into the shadows of the alley, soon disappearing completely.…Back at Maple Garden, the two of them had taken a shower and were now curled up in the media room watching a movie.Selena sipped on her juice and asked, “Ave, aren’t you even a bit curious about who this Leo guy is? It seems like he’s always popping up wherever you are.”Aveline, keeping her eyes on the screen, replied, “I’ve noticed. That’s why I said there’s no need to get to know him.”After all that she had been through, how could she not have developed a sense of caution?Leo’s identity was too much of a mystery. First, he claimed amnesia, and now he said he had recovered some of his memories. But

Lucas withdrew his cold gaze and said, "Get back to work."Desmond hesitated for a moment and then spoke, "Mr. Tudor, there's a message from the main house. Madam Barbara wants to see you."Lucas remained indifferent. "Okay."He only gave a curt acknowledgment without indicating whether he would go or not.Desmond carefully continued, "Mr. Tudor, no matter what Madam Barbara has done, she's getting on in years, and her health isn’t what it used to be. She just wants to see you… Perhaps you should consider—"Lucas glanced at him. "You're so diligent. Should I give you a raise?"Desmond was taken aback at first, then chuckled awkwardly. "Actually, there's no need for that trouble. A bit more in the year-end bonus would do.""You've got some nerve," Lucas said coolly.Desmond grinned. "Mr. Tudor, I'm just saying. You don't have to take it seriously. I’ve got things to do, so I’ll be going now."Before Lucas had a chance to get angry, Desmond made a quick exit!Lucas' eyes returned to the

Desmond heard Sidney's words and shot him a cold look. "Whatever's between Mr. Tudor and his wife is none of your business."Sidney paused and replied, "As Aveline's friend, I think it's perfectly fine for me to say something."Desmond countered, "You did say you’re Mrs. Tudor's friend. If that’s the case, you should understand the importance of boundaries."Sidney's brow furrowed.At that moment, Aveline spoke up, "The divorce will be finalized soon; we’re just waiting for the court date."Her words were both an answer to Sidney and a slap in Desmond's face.Sidney's tense expression relaxed into a smile. "I’m sure you’ll succeed.""Yeah." Aveline smiled back at him briefly, then bent down and got into the car.Desmond's face darkened slightly. He shot Sidney a cold glare before shutting the car door and moving to the driver's seat.As Aveline entered the car, she noticed Lucas sitting in the back.She paused for a moment, gave him a once-over, and said, "So you can move around just f

As she spoke, a smile appeared on Barbara's face, as if she could see those days all over again.Lucas’ expression remained indifferent. "Did you call me here just to reminisce?"Barbara looked at him again. “Lu, you're the last of the Tudor family now. I don't have many requests—just that you take care of the family. After all, you and your father are still bound by blood. Even if he made mistakes in the past, the Tudor Group is under your control now. Can't you find it in you to show him some mercy?”It seemed she had called Lucas here to plead on Frederick's behalf.Barbara seemed to know Lucas’ rebellious and stubborn nature all too well. As she spoke, her expression was soft and loving, like an elder giving their final instructions.Aveline stood quietly by, feeling a twinge of sadness. There was a time when Barbara treated her well. She had always remembered that kindness and never complained about the sudden change in Barbara’s attitude. If Barbara didn’t like her, she simply s

Barbara released Aveline's hand, her face showing signs of fatigue as she said, “I’ve talked enough; I’m getting tired now. You both should head back.”Lucas suddenly spoke up, “Grandma, if I remember right, you wanted to see me, didn’t you? So why, now that I'm here, are you barely speaking to me and just holding her hand?”Barbara sighed with a touch of exasperation. “Are you really going to fuss over such a trivial matter? No wonder Aveline doesn’t want you anymore—you’re too petty!”Lucas was speechless.Aveline chuckled and said, “I’m a bit thirsty. I’m going to step out and get a drink.”She turned to Barbara. “Would you like something, Grandma?”Barbara's eyes brightened. “Oh, yes, I’d love an orange soda.”Aveline nodded. “Alright.”With that, she turned and left the room. As the door closed behind her, the light-hearted atmosphere that had just been there grew cold and tense.Lucas' sharp eyes narrowed as he looked at Barbara. “Grandma, you’re doing all this just to protect yo

The setting sun cast a faint halo as the deep blue sky gradually enveloped everything, her figure shrouded and stretched out by the fading light.Lucas stood there, silently watching her for a long time as if trying to see straight into her heart.Sensing a gaze on her, Aveline turned and met his intense eyes. She blinked. "When did you come out?"Judging by his expression, he’d been there for a while.She walked over to him and handed him the orange soda she held. "Do you want a drink?"Barbara was too old, and her body couldn’t handle it, but Aveline had bought it anyway—she liked orange soda herself.Lucas took the drink and asked, "What do you want for dinner?"Aveline replied, "I’m eating at home."Lucas responded, "Can I come too?"His dark eyes were fixed on her, his voice low and pleasant, his tone soft as he made his request.Aveline shook her head. "No, you can’t."She had only come to see Barbara; if he wanted her cooking, he could keep dreaming.She took off the diamond bra

"Really!" Selena's curiosity grew. "So, what is it?"Aveline gave a playful smile. "That's a secret for now. I'll tell you once it's done.""Hmph, even keeping it from me." Selena huffed and turned away.Aveline continued humming as she prepared dinner.When the delicious dishes were finally served, Selena eagerly came back over.Just then, Aveline's phone rang. She looked at the screen and saw it was a call from Zachary."Hello, Zach," Aveline answered, her voice carrying a hint of a smile.Zachary's gentle voice came through. "Aveline, how have you been lately?"Aveline smiled. "Pretty good. How about you? Is the orphanage running smoothly?"Zachary replied, "It's going okay. Not as difficult as I imagined, but not easy either. I'm in Cloudflare City now, but I'm heading back tomorrow. Are you free to meet up for a meal?"Surprised, Aveline quickly suggested, "If you don't mind, why not come over to my place for dinner? You can try my cooking."Zachary agreed, "Sounds great."After g

"Juliet," Zachary replied, naming someone from their past. "After her biological parents found her, she never came back. I didn't expect her to return this time, but she did. She even brought a lot of things and told me she plans to make regular donations to the orphanage."Aveline's expression shifted slightly. Her memories of Juliet were already a bit blurred, but she vaguely remembered that Juliet had always been a favorite of Hilda’s. Hilda would always give Juliet the best of everything she had.Back then, the orphanage’s conditions weren't great. Most of the children wore patched-up clothes, but Juliet always had new clothes and always looked clean and beautiful.Aveline had been a quiet child, always keeping to herself in the corner.Zachary sighed. "I never thought she'd come back. Now she’s the cherished heiress of the prestigious Cooper family in Larbor City, living a life of luxury."The Cooper family?Aveline’s eyes widened slightly. Was it the same Cooper family she knew o

"Alright." Aveline nodded, watching as Zachary got into his car and drove away.Selena, standing beside her, couldn't help but comment, "You know, he's a nice guy. Why don't you consider him?"Aveline looked at her with exasperation. "I’m not considering anyone. How about I consider you instead?"“What? Really? You’d actually consider me? You finally noticed me? Oh, I’m so moved!” Selena, ever the drama queen, put on a show of mock surprise, her eyes welling up dramatically.Aveline's mouth twitched, and she quickly opened the car door and got in.Selena immediately followed. "Hey, wait for me! Were you serious just now? Are you really considering me, Aveline, my beauty? Say something!"Aveline was speechless.That was a mistake.Back home, Aveline took a shower and lay down on her bed, feeling unusually excited about going with Lucas to get a divorce the next day.She had been waiting for this day for so long, and now that it was about to happen, it felt almost unreal.She tossed and

“Bang!”Suddenly, her car was hit with a violent jolt, forcing her body to lurch forward. Fortunately, her seatbelt held her back; otherwise, she would have slammed into the steering wheel.“Knock, knock, knock!”Before she could even react, someone was banging aggressively on her window.Aveline frowned and turned to see a burly man standing outside, his face full of impatience.She rolled down the window and asked, frowning. "What do you want?"Seeing that it was a woman behind the wheel, the man grew even more arrogant. He pointed a finger at her and shouted, “Do you even know how to drive? The light turned green, and you didn’t notice? What are your eyes for? If you can't drive, don’t come out here and embarrass yourself!”Aveline's expression turned colder. She pulled out her phone and said, “You rear-ended me, and now you’re blaming me? Where’s your sense of shame?”Seeing this, the man rolled up his sleeves and barked, “Hey, watch how you talk, lady! What do you mean by blaming
