Chapter 721

Gernard’s expression grew more serious. "Juliet, I can agree to anything else, but not this. You are the heiress of the Skyler family; you must not do something that would destroy someone else's marriage."“What do you mean by destroying someone’s marriage?” Juliet pouted. “I’ve already looked into it; they’re getting a divorce. Besides, didn’t you also hire a lawyer to help? You’ve done so much already, so why won’t you help me with this?”Gernard was surprised at how much she knew, his brows furrowing. “Juliet, why not like someone else? Why must it be him? Since you’ve investigated him, you should know he isn’t someone you can trust.”He tried to reason with her, “Aveline once saved his life, yet he wants to divorce her and has caused her so much pain. If that’s how he treats his savior, do you think he’ll treat you any better?”Juliet dismissed his reasoning, saying, “He dares to treat his wife that way because she has nothing. He wouldn’t dare do the same to me; I have the entire

They both lived in the same building, so it was inevitable they would run into each other.Inside the elevator, Aveline pressed the floor button and moved to stand in the corner. Lucas, tall and imposing, filled the space with a sense of pressure. His striking, sharp features showed little emotion as he watched her through the mirrored walls.“Want to come over to my place for dinner?” he asked.“No,” Aveline replied.She wasn't particularly hungry and hadn’t planned on having dinner.“Are you sure?” Lucas persisted. “Why not try my cooking and give me some pointers? That way, if we part ways in the future, I won’t starve myself.”Aveline was speechless for a moment. She glanced up at him and said, “Even if you can't cook, you wouldn’t starve.”With his skyrocketing net worth and status as the youngest Chairman in Cloudflare City, there was hardly anything he couldn't get. If he wanted something to eat, all he’d need to do was put out the word, and people would likely line up to bring

Aveline glanced at the menu and raised an eyebrow. "Aren’t you worried I’ll make you broke?"Selena waved her hand dismissively. "Order whatever you like! I'm not afraid!"Aveline smiled and ordered without being wasteful, choosing dishes she actually enjoyed. She called over the waiter, handed over the menu, and as the sliding door closed, she caught a glimpse of a few people passing by outside.Their eyes met briefly, and Aveline fell silent.Lucas, Aaron, and Lance were there.What a coincidence.The door slid shut, cutting off their line of sight.Selena started talking about her new job, filled with excitement and hope for the future. Aveline listened quietly before saying, "I'm planning to resign."Selena paused for a moment, then nodded. "That might be for the best. Once the court hearing is over and the divorce is finalized, you'll be free of any restraints."Aveline replied, "Let’s hope it goes smoothly."Selena smiled. "It definitely will."…In the private room next door, Aa

The faint scent of alcohol lingered in the air.The private room fell silent for a moment—not only there but even the room next door grew quiet. The lack of soundproofing made Selena's loud voice impossible to ignore.Aaron and Lance both glanced at Lucas, their expressions unreadable. Lucas’ striking face remained calm, betraying no emotion, though his fingers tightened subtly around his glass.After a long pause, a soft, clear voice came through from the other side, "No, I won’t."Lucas raised his glass and downed the drink in one go.Selena let out a chuckle. "That's the spirit! Why jump into a pit of fire over and over again? Unless you want to be burned to ashes with nothing left."Aveline's smile was faint, her tone calm. "You're drunk. Let's go."Selena cupped her face with a playful grin, "Alright, but I’m sleeping over with you tonight."Aveline stood up and helped her to her feet, and they left the private room together.At the same time, the door next door slid open, and a m

"Even the law gives people a chance to redeem themselves, but you won’t," Lucas remarked, his eyes on her. In the dimly lit car, the streetlights flickered past, but they couldn’t illuminate the darkness in his gaze.Aveline pressed her lips together and replied, "But you’ve hurt me. I have a fragile heart. I won’t touch anything that causes me pain again."Silence filled the car.For a moment, Lucas wished he could go back in time and slap himself. Why had he been so foolish?He closed his eyes...There was no turning back in this world, no way to undo what had been done. At this point, words felt utterly meaningless.They arrived at Maple Garden.Aveline parked the car and left, heading directly towards the entrance. Lucas remained quiet, following her silently into the elevator.The conversation in the car left them both in a heavy silence.Aveline suddenly realized that some words were not as difficult to say as she thought. Speaking them out loud actually made her feel a bit ligh

Maria sighed helplessly. "I should have seen this coming. From the very beginning, you were always thinking about leaving."Aveline lowered her eyes slightly, a faint smile on her lips, but she didn't respond. Taking this job had always been a temporary decision. Her goal had always been to move on and live her own life.“Alright, I’ll start preparing to hire someone new. But after seeing your designs, my standards have risen, so you’ll have to take responsibility. You’ll handle the interviews,” Maria said.Aveline nodded. “Sure, no problem.”She got up and left the office. As soon as the door closed behind her, Maria quickly dialed Lucas' number.“What is it?” His deep, cold voice came through as soon as he answered.Maria lowered her voice, “Bad news, boss. Aveline just handed in her resignation!”Lucas' tone grew even colder. “And you accepted it?”Maria replied, "What choice did I have?”Lucas responded flatly, “Then there’s no need for your studio to stay open. She leaves, and so

"Aveline, I know you plan to leave, but you're still here, still in this position. You have to complete your responsibilities. The studio isn't just mine," Maria said firmly.Aveline's eyelashes fluttered slightly before she replied, "Alright, I understand."Though her relationship with Maria was friendly outside of work, here in the studio, they were just employer and employee. Aveline's sudden decision to resign hadn’t angered Maria, likely out of respect for their past friendship. But if Aveline were to do nothing now and simply wait to leave, she’d be taking advantage of that friendship.Maria reached out and squeezed her shoulder gently. "Thank you for understanding."Back in the meeting room, Aveline continued discussing the contract details with Patrick. He had considerable assets, so he had no objections to the costs involved in building the house.After they finished going over everything, Patrick paid the deposit. Aveline would need to visit the site for an inspection and th

Maria came out of the restroom, drying her hands, and spotted Sidney standing a short distance away, his dark eyes fixed on her.She flashed a smile. "What's wrong?"Sidney’s tone was cooler than usual. "What are you doing here?"Maria walked slowly toward him, tilting her head slightly. "As your boss, I thought I'd check in on an employee’s family. Is that not allowed?"Sidney replied, "It’s not necessary.""You're so cold," Maria teased, stepping a bit closer. "But that wasn't the case when we were at the hotel."Sidney’s expression instantly turned icy. "What are you trying to do?"Seeing his tense and guarded look, Maria’s smile widened. "Do you always do whatever I say?"Sidney pressed his lips together, remaining silent.Maria brushed her hair back over her shoulder. "I want you to kiss me."Sidney’s gaze grew colder, and he turned to leave without another word.Maria couldn’t help but laugh softly. "Let's see how long you can hold out, Sidney."…Back in the hospital room, Ruth

A vein throbbed at Sidney's temple, and without another word, he turned and walked away.Maria chuckled softly, watching his retreating back. There was no need to rush.…Aveline threw herself into work, heading out the next day to inspect the plot of land Patrick owned. It was surrounded by a vineyard, making it an ideal location for a winery. Patrick's main goal was to build a resort-style winery, catering to the elite for leisure and entertainment, so he was particular about every detail.After gaining a general understanding of the terrain and Patrick's vision, Aveline returned to the studio and began working tirelessly on the designs, sketching day and night.When the first draft was ready, Myron called to inform her that the court date had been set for a week from now.At the same time, Lucas also received the court notification.He was dining at Club Nine with a group of business partners. After hanging up the phone, his strikingly handsome face remained as impassive as ever,

Lucas suddenly moved closer to her, his voice low. "Then let's do something more interesting."As he spoke, he grabbed her hand and pressed it against the fingerprint lock."What are you doing?" Aveline froze, staring at him. This man was losing his mind again!His cool fingertips brushed against the skin of her wrist, sending a chill through her. His grip was firm and unyielding."You were the one who said you wanted to try something interesting."They were now standing very close. His clean, crisp scent filled the space between them. With his other hand, he swiftly opened the door and stepped inside, pulling her in with him.Aveline’s inner alarm bells were ringing loudly.Trying not to provoke him further, she stayed calm. But as soon as the door closed, Lucas spun her around and pressed her against the door.His tall frame loomed over her, and he moved in to kiss her.Aveline turned her head away, dodging his lips.His hot breath brushed against her cheek, and he froze in place.
