Selena glanced at Aveline, concerned. "Are you sure you're okay with this kind of environment?"Aveline nodded. "It’s fine. Once we find him, we’ll leave.""Right," Selena agreed and then led the way into the bar.Finding someone in the midst of a crowd wasn’t easy. The place was packed, and with Aveline not having her phone, they couldn’t split up to search faster.…In one of the bar’s shadowed booths, Lucas sat slumped over, surrounded by empty bottles. He tugged at his collar in frustration, his entire demeanor filled with despair and confusion.His usually sharp eyes were bloodshot, and though the lights flickered and flashed all around him, none seemed to reach the dark corner where he sat.Lucas stared blankly at the revelers around him, his face twisted in frustration.He couldn’t find her.He had lost Aveline.Where could she be? Who had taken her? Why?Endless questions swirled in his mind, his head throbbing with the weight of it all.He grabbed another drink and downed it,

"Wow!" Selena gasped loudly as she saw what was happening inside the room. She moved to burst in, ready to confront the pair.But Aveline quickly stopped her, pulling the door shut.Selena turned to her, furious. "Why are you stopping me? Let me go in there and tear those two apart!"The dim lighting in the hallway cast a shadow over Aveline's pale face. Her eyes seemed lost as she bit her lip, finally speaking in a soft voice. "We’re divorced."The implication was clear—Lucas was free to be with anyone he wanted now.Selena fell silent, her anger cooling. She suddenly realized that, legally, Aveline no longer had any right to confront Lucas. They weren’t together anymore."Let’s go. We’ll head to the police station and withdraw the missing person report," Selena said quietly, looping her arm through Aveline's.Aveline didn’t respond, allowing Selena to lead her away. The lively music of the bar droned on as they walked through the crowd, but Aveline’s expression grew more numb with ev

At Meet Bar, inside the private room on the second floor, a soft, saccharine voice filled the air. "Lucas..."The breath was warm and close, but suddenly, Lucas' clouded mind cleared, snapping back to reality. He shot up from the couch, his voice low and hoarse with restrained fury. "Who are you?""I..." The woman, lounging on the sofa, was caught off guard by his sudden clarity.But Lucas didn’t wait for her response. He quickly located the light switch and flicked it on. The room flooded with light, and he saw her face—Juliet!His expression turned icy, and in an instant, he lunged forward, grabbing her by the throat. "What did you do to me?" he growled."I..." Juliet gasped, pain shooting through her neck as the pressure tightened. The sudden suffocation overwhelmed her, and she panicked, realizing just how dangerous he had become.The man before her had a terrifyingly cold and ruthless look in his eyes, his grip unyielding. His shirt was disheveled, his gaze bloodshot, and the kil

Lucas completely ignored Selena’s protests, pacing around the living room, and searching every corner. Not finding anyone, he headed straight for the bedroom."Hey, stop!" Selena rushed over, arms outstretched to block his way. "What do you think you’re doing?"His bloodshot eyes fixed on her, cold and intense. "Move."The icy chill and overwhelming pressure radiating from him made Selena falter momentarily, but she stood her ground. "No. Why are you barging in like this?"Frustration boiled over in Lucas. If Selena was trying this hard to stop him, then Aveline must be here. Why was she keeping him away? Didn’t she understand how desperately he’d been searching for Aveline, how close to madness he’d been?Lucas had little patience left. Just as he was about to push Selena aside, the bedroom door creaked open.Aveline stood there, dressed in soft sleepwear, one hand resting on the doorframe, the other hanging loosely at her side. She looked fragile, ethereal, but her face was pale, a

In the early morning, the streets were mostly empty. Aveline walked for a while before hailing a taxi."To the airport," she said softly, her gaze drifting out the window, her eyes filled with an eerie calm.Meanwhile, Braden watched Aveline leave and dialed Lucas' number. "Mr. Tudor, Miss Aveline is leaving. She seems to be headed for the airport."…With no traffic, Aveline arrived at the airport just before 7 a.m. She bought a ticket for the earliest flight and walked toward the security checkpoint."Aveline."A familiar voice called out from behind her, making her freeze in place. She closed her eyes briefly before turning around calmly to face Lucas, who stood not far away, his handsome face cold as he looked at her."Where are you going?" Lucas walked toward her, step by step. "I’ve been looking for you for days. You’re leaving as soon as you return? Are you abandoning me?"He stopped in front of her, staring directly into her eyes.Aveline replied, "We’re already divorced. Don’t

Lucas handed Aveline her phone, watching as she powered it on and checked her messages. Just then, Selena's call came through.Aveline answered, "Hello, Selena.""Aveline! What’s going on? You left without me? Weren’t we supposed to go together? How could you just leave without saying a word? Do you even consider me your friend?" Selena’s furious voice came through, clearly showing how upset she was.Aveline held the phone a little further away from her ear, waiting for Selena to finish before softly apologizing, "I’m sorry. I really wanted to leave, but I didn’t manage to. I’m actually just having breakfast outside right now. Do you... want to join me?""Where are you?"Another sharp shout came, followed by the call being abruptly ended.Aveline scratched her nose, an awkward smile spreading across her face.Lucas gently looked at her, tucking a loose strand of hair behind her ear. "Knowing you were planning to leave without telling anyone... why does that weirdly make me feel better

"Hello, what now? I failed, and Lucas broke my finger! Your plan was completely useless!" Juliet hissed into the phone, though her frustration was clear.There was a brief silence on the other end before the voice coldly responded, "You failed because you're incompetent. And now you want to blame me?""You—!" Juliet nearly leapt out of bed in anger, but she quickly remembered she still needed this person. Taking a deep breath, she forced herself to calm down and asked, "So what do we do now?""You're too useless for me to keep working with. You're on your own." The person cut the call immediately."Hello? Hello?!" Juliet's face twisted in anger. She quickly dialed the number again, only to discover the phone was turned off.Unbelievable!So unfair!"Who were you talking to?" Gernard's voice suddenly came from the doorway.Juliet jumped, her phone slipping from her hand and falling to the floor."You... Gernard, when did you get back?" The guilt on her face was painfully obvious.Gerna

Chapter 868

Wilfried sat on the sofa, eyes closed, saying nothing.Gavin glanced at Judith, his stepmother, who had always been cautious in the Cooper family. She began to speak, "It's just that—""Silence!" Wilfried’s voice cut through the tension, making the atmosphere in the living room even more stifling.Realizing something serious had happened, Gavin didn’t press for more details and instead took a seat quietly on the sofa, waiting.Half an hour later, there was another sound at the door. Gernard and Juliet entered one after the other. The moment Gernard stepped inside, he noticed something was off and asked, "Dad, Gavin, what’s going on?"Juliet stood nervously behind him, her anxiety growing as a sense of foreboding washed over her.Wilfried finally opened his eyes and said, "Since everyone’s here, take a look at these," pointing to the documents on the coffee table.Gavin, being the closest, picked them up and started reading. The further he got, the darker his expression became."Did y

“I... I…” Juliet trembled all over, unable to utter a single word. The evidence was laid out before her—what could she possibly say?She wasn’t a Cooper. She wasn’t the cherished daughter of the family anymore.What future did she have left?“Dad, this paternity test is questionable. We should do it again to prevent any tampering,” Gavin suggested calmly.Wilfried, staring at Juliet's now unfamiliar face, turned and said, “You handle it.”“Understood,” Gavin replied.Unlike Gernard, who had always doted on Juliet, Gavin was cold and distant. Now that they knew Juliet wasn’t their sister and had committed so many vile deeds, his demeanor toward her grew even colder. He swiftly made the necessary arrangements, while Juliet was locked away.Gernard sat on the sofa, dazed. “If Juliet isn’t our sister, then who is?”Wilfried’s gaze drifted to a photograph on the wall. It was of a graceful woman in an evening gown, smiling warmly at the camera."Suzy, I’ve found the wrong daughter. Juliet

Gernard, in a daze, muttered, "Where is our real sister?"Gavin's expression remained cold. "Juliet came from Arthur Town Orphanage. Back then, we did a paternity test and confirmed she was our sister. Now that I think about it, she handed over a strand of hair directly... maybe it wasn’t even hers."Gernard looked at him. "So, you think our real sister might still be at the orphanage?""It’s possible," Gavin replied.However, so many years had passed, and Arthur Town Orphanage wasn’t what it used to be. The children from those days had grown up and scattered across different places, making the search incredibly difficult.For some reason, an image of Aveline suddenly appeared in Gernard’s mind.Just then, a servant entered the room and said, "Mr. Gavin, Mr. Gernard, there’s a man outside who calls himself Lucas Tudor and would like to see you."Lucas? What was he doing here?Gernard’s expression shifted as he thought about Juliet's previous actions. Could Lucas be here to settle scor
