Aveline didn't dare think too much about it. She had been disappointed too many times before."I don’t feel safe in Arthur Town. I want to leave now," she said.Lucas frowned at her words. "Do you think you'll be safe once you leave Arthur Town?"Aveline looked up at him. "I have a rough idea of who's targeting me. If I can get out of their reach, they'll have a harder time finding me."Lucas replied, "You're being naive, Aveline. The circles of power are all about connections. You think leaving Arthur Town will make you safe, but how do you know the city you go to won't have people closely connected to those here?"Aveline's brow furrowed as she looked at him. "What do you mean?"Lucas' eyes stared deeply into hers. "Stay here. I'll protect you."Aveline pressed her pale lips into a thin line. She didn't want to stay, but he was right. She couldn't ensure her safety on her own. Following him might be the best option. Yet, deep down, she was reluctant to follow through with that idea.

Selena sighed heavily. "After I went back to work, I organized an event. Aaron, as the sponsor, sent an item for display, which I accidentally broke it. That item was worth one million dollars, and my company, fearing liability, fired me. So now I have to sell myself... but not in the way you're thinking!"Listening to her, Aveline sensed a conspiracy. She asked, "Did you keep the broken item?"Selena replied, "No, his men took it away immediately."Aveline sighed, rubbing her forehead in frustration. Any lingering doubts vanished; she was now sure that Aaron had framed Selena.Aveline asked, "Selena, are you still using a dummy account to interact with Aaron?""Of course I am. He's causing me trouble, so I might as well get something out of it!"Aveline breathed a sigh of relief. "Good. I'll transfer the money to you now. Pay him back and get out of there as soon as possible.""Got it. Thanks, darling! Love you!" Selena smothered her phone with kisses.Aveline ended the call and trans

“Ah!” Rebecca screamed, smashing everything in the room. Only after the room was a complete mess did she begin to calm down. However, her eyes were still full of resentment and hatred.How could this happen? Lucas wanted her to apologize to that woman! That bitch! Rebecca forced herself to calm down and then dialed Reynold's number, tearfully recounting the events, though she framed the kidnapping as inviting Aveline over for a visit. Reynold listened silently for a while before saying, "Rebecca Thompson, I told you not to mess with that woman. Why didn’t you listen?"Rebecca thought she was hearing things. Her father, who loved her the most, had never spoken to her so sternly. He was even addressing her by her full name!Feeling even more aggrieved, Rebecca cried, “Dad, this time Lucas bullied me. Why aren’t you helping me? Why are you scolding me?”On the other end of the line, Reynold pinched the bridge of his nose. He had always believed in raising his daughter lavishly, pamp

"Awake?"At that moment, a deep, pleasant male voice resonated.Aveline pursed her lips and turned her head to see Lucas sitting on a chair, a laptop in front of him. He wasn’t in his usual formal attire but was instead wearing a white bathrobe, sitting casually on the sofa. The robe's collar was slightly open, revealing a hint of his chest muscles, marked with a few clear scratch lines."Lucas, do you find this amusing?" Aveline asked.Lucas chuckled softly at her words. "Amusing? Yes, it's incredibly amusing."He stood up and walked over to her, bending down to stroke her face, his eyes filled with a playful glint. "Having a woman to sleep with, feeling this good—how could I not find that amusing?"Aveline looked at him coldly, not getting triggered by his provocation. She slowly sat up, allowing the blanket to slide off, exposing the marks on her skin.Lucas' eyes darkened as he looked at her.Aveline smirked. "Well, if that's the case, I also find it rather amusing. Sleeping with

“Sit in the front passenger seat,” Lucas commanded, his tone leaving no room for argument.Sophia had no choice but to comply. "Okay."Back at Celestial Heights, Sophia followed Lucas to the entrance of the presidential suite. Desmond took out a key card, his heart pounding.Once inside, Sophia said, "There are so many rooms here. Let me stay. It'll be easier to take care of you, okay?"Lucas’ cheeks were still flushed. He looked around the suite, but there was no sign of Aveline. He sat on the sofa and closed his eyes, then told Desmond, "Instruct the manager to open another room.""Yes, sir." Desmond nodded, then turned to Sophia. "Miss Winter, please come with me."Sophia looked at Lucas. "Lucas, let me stay here. I promise I won't disturb you. I can cook for you and take care of you. Please?"Lucas responded, "It's not appropriate."Sophia's expression faltered. Lucas had made his stance clear, and pushing further would only annoy him, especially since he had already told her thei
