Judy got into the car and left.Lucas turned to Aveline, his expression growing cold. "Don't you have anything to say?"Aveline's expression remained indifferent. "Say what? Apologize to her?"A cold smile appeared on her face.Lucas found her expression extremely irritating, his sharp brows furrowing as the temperature around him seemed to drop several degrees."Aveline, she's a partner of the DK Group. You're my wife. If you hurt her, it's as if I hurt her. How do you think we should resolve this?" Lucas said gravely."I didn't hurt her. She grabbed me, and I just shook her off," Aveline replied, frowning. "Lucas, if you insist on believing I did it on purpose, I have nothing to say. But apologizing to her is out of the question."Her attitude was cold, and her gaze at Lucas grew colder. After speaking, she turned and walked away.He stared at her back, his eyes growing darker.They hadn't seen each other for a week, and not only did she not greet him, but now she wouldn't even look

Faintly, it seemed like someone was crying for help."Hmm? Did you hear something?" Aaron asked Lucas, looking puzzled.Lucas' expression remained indifferent. "No."Aaron shrugged. "Maybe I heard wrong. Let's go."Lucas didn't respond, lowering his gaze as he and Aaron entered the private room.Aveline kept shouting for help, but no one came to her rescue. Despair appeared on her face as she was forced to drink more."Bang!"At that moment, someone burst into the room and, seeing the scene, shouted, "I've called the police!"The men turned pale upon hearing this."Damn it, where did this meddling brat come from?""Get lost, or we'll kill you!"The intruder was a young man wearing the uniform of No. 9 Mansion. His face, though handsome, showed some nervousness, but he didn't leave."I... I called the police. If you don't let her go, the police will be here soon!"No matter how arrogant these men were, they didn't dare challenge the police. Their expressions soured, but they released Av

The police checked the documents and, confirming they were genuine, said to Lucas, "Take your wife home. She shouldn't drink so much; it's not good for her health.""Alright," Lucas responded indifferently.The two policemen left.Sidney stood to the side, a faint look of embarrassment on his handsome face. "Sorry, I didn't know you were her husband. In that case, please take her home."Lucas shot him a cold glance before carrying Aveline into the elevator.Aveline continued to struggle."Let go, let go of me..."Holding her, Lucas looked at her flushed face, his mood particularly foul. He gave her a sharp slap on the bottom. "Aveline, you better behave!"In her drunken state, Aveline didn't even feel the slap.The elevator doors slowly closed as Aveline, half-squinting, looked utterly intoxicated.Lucas' face was grim. If he hadn't come here, would she not have gone home tonight? Had she found herself another young man?A cold wind blew as they exited No. 9 Mansion, causing Aveline to

"Which man?" Aveline asked, momentarily confused.Lucas' gaze remained cold, the room's temperature seemingly dropping. The bed was a mess, still bearing the remnants of their intimacy, yet the chill pervaded Aveline's body."I was drunk last night, I don't know what happened," Aveline said.Lucas sneered. "You know you can't handle alcohol, and yet you dared to drink alone?"The reproach in his voice was clear as if she had done something wrong.Feeling wronged, Aveline retorted, "Lucas, did you investigate the situation? Do you know why I was drinking? On what grounds are you blaming me?"At that moment, her defensive spikes rose.The tension in the bedroom became palpable.Then, a phone rang, breaking the silence. It was Lucas' phone.He walked over and answered, "Speak."Desmond, sensing the tension, spoke cautiously, "Mr. Tudor, I found out what happened. The project manager from Horizon Realty, Xander Wilbur, asked Mrs. Tudor to revise the blueprints and then wouldn't let her lea

Xander's face turned sour. "What are you all arguing about? We need to find a solution now."Everyone fell silent, though their gazes held a bit more resentment toward him.At that moment, a figure appeared in the distance."Mr, Wilbur?"Sophia walked over, her face wearing a gentle smile.Xander's expression brightened upon seeing her. "Miss Winter, what brings you here?"Sophia smiled back. "I came to visit a friend. What's going on here?"Xander sighed and explained the situation briefly. "I was just joking with Miss Young, but she took it seriously and now DK Group is blacklisting us. We have families to support. If we're blacklisted and lose our jobs, how will we survive?"Sophia's eyes flashed, and she said, "If you trust me, I can speak to Lucas at DK Group on your behalf."Xander's face lit up with hope. "You know Mr. Tudor?"Sophia nodded. "Yes, Lucas and I are friends."Calling Lucas by his first name, she conveyed a natural intimacy.Xander looked at Sophia with gratitude. "
