Lucas reached out and ripped the tape off her mouth.“Ouch!” Aveline cried out in pain, gasping for breath before saying, “Lucas, I’ve thought it over. I agree with what you asked.”Lucas raised an eyebrow in surprise and asked, “Why did you suddenly agree?”Aveline pursed her lips, about to say something when a voice called out from afar.“Hey!”“Can you stop chatting there?”“The tide is rising!”Aveline's expression froze. “Let's leave here first.”Lucas was already striding towards the shore, carrying her. He had just placed her in the car when Selena rushed over, throwing her arms around her and crying out, “Ave, you scared me to death! I thought I’d never see you again!”Aveline stumbled back slightly, coughing twice. “Cough... don’t do that, I’m fine.”Aaron’s cold voice broke in, “If you keep hugging her like this, you might actually never see her again.”After speaking, he frowned, wondering why he had spoken to her. This woman never understood when people were being kind…Sel

Lucas suddenly stood up, his commanding presence enveloping Aveline as he placed his hands on either side of her, trapping her in his arms. His sudden closeness made Aveline tense up immediately, her clear eyes revealing a hint of wariness as she looked at him."What are you doing?" Lucas chuckled softly, his piercing gaze fixed on her as he said in a low voice, "Aveline, when did you become so wicked?"Aveline's lips curved into a cold smile. "I didn't want to be like this, but you all forced me to."She could have lived a simple, carefree life. It was his forceful entry into her world, his refusal to let go, and the pressure and jealousy from others that had turned her into what she was now. She hadn't wanted this either.Aveline lowered her eyes, a trace of sadness appearing in them.Seeing this, Lucas felt an inexplicable discomfort. Noticing her damp hair, he suddenly stood up and left, returning moments later with a hairdryer."Let me dry your hair.”Aveline frowned and refused,

"Why not?" Selena asked.Aveline replied, "Lucas and I have reconciled.""What?" Selena raised her voice suddenly as if she had jumped up on the other end. A jumble of noises came through."Ave, you're not joking, are you? This isn't funny at all," Selena said, completely flustered.She had been the harshest critic of Lucas, constantly urging them to divorce. Now Aveline was telling her they had reconciled? Their reconciliation made her feel like a fool!Selena's voice grew more urgent. "Ave, have you forgotten all the hurt you've suffered? Hasn't he hurt you deeply enough? How can you reconcile with him?"Aveline felt terribly sad. She wanted to blurt out the truth, but Lucas was right - the fewer people who knew the truth, the less risk they faced. If someone were to learn something from Selena, wouldn't all her efforts be in vain?She just wanted to return to a normal life. Running away couldn't solve the problem.Aveline closed her eyes for a moment and then said, "This incident m

Who could resist a beautiful woman's charm? Certainly not Aveline. Faced with Maria's persuasive beauty, Aveline gave in. "Alright, I'll go. But I really need to get back to work now. You might not worry about money as the boss, but I still need to earn a living!"Maria smiled. "Great! You go ahead and work then. I won't disturb you anymore.""Alright!"As Maria turned to leave, she glanced back at Aveline one last time. Seeing her in good spirits, she felt relieved.Maria praised herself for doing well and thought about asking Lucas for a bonus!...Aveline pored over the Winter family files. In Cloudflare City, a city full of wealthy families, the Winter family wasn't considered upper class, but rather hovered in the middle tier.Their main business was real estate. The Winter family had two sons and two daughters, with Sophia being one of them.Due to her relationship with Lucas in recent years, Sophia's status in the Winter family had risen dramatically, making life difficult for

Aveline changed her shoes and walked in. The man's cold gaze immediately fell on her.She said nothing and went to drink a glass of water.Footsteps approached from behind her.Just as Aveline set down her glass, she felt a grip on her shoulder as Lucas turned her around.His tall figure loomed over her, his eyes studying her intently. He asked in a low voice, "What did you mean by what you said earlier?"Aveline pushed his hand away, moving to a safe distance. She didn't think their current relationship warranted such intimacy.She said coolly, "Going public now doesn't suit my plans."Lucas was displeased by her avoidance, but hearing her words, he raised an eyebrow. "What plans?""That's confidential," Aveline replied.Lucas retorted, "Why should I agree to your terms if you won't give me a reason?"Standing on the stairs, Aveline turned to look at him, her tone calm. "You don't have to agree. But then I don't have to agree to yours either."Her attitude was cold as she headed upsta
