Lucas withdrew his cold gaze and said, "Get back to work."Desmond hesitated for a moment and then spoke, "Mr. Tudor, there's a message from the main house. Madam Barbara wants to see you."Lucas remained indifferent. "Okay."He only gave a curt acknowledgment without indicating whether he would go or not.Desmond carefully continued, "Mr. Tudor, no matter what Madam Barbara has done, she's getting on in years, and her health isn’t what it used to be. She just wants to see you… Perhaps you should consider—"Lucas glanced at him. "You're so diligent. Should I give you a raise?"Desmond was taken aback at first, then chuckled awkwardly. "Actually, there's no need for that trouble. A bit more in the year-end bonus would do.""You've got some nerve," Lucas said coolly.Desmond grinned. "Mr. Tudor, I'm just saying. You don't have to take it seriously. I’ve got things to do, so I’ll be going now."Before Lucas had a chance to get angry, Desmond made a quick exit!Lucas' eyes returned to the

As she spoke, a smile appeared on Barbara's face, as if she could see those days all over again.Lucas’ expression remained indifferent. "Did you call me here just to reminisce?"Barbara looked at him again. “Lu, you're the last of the Tudor family now. I don't have many requests—just that you take care of the family. After all, you and your father are still bound by blood. Even if he made mistakes in the past, the Tudor Group is under your control now. Can't you find it in you to show him some mercy?”It seemed she had called Lucas here to plead on Frederick's behalf.Barbara seemed to know Lucas’ rebellious and stubborn nature all too well. As she spoke, her expression was soft and loving, like an elder giving their final instructions.Aveline stood quietly by, feeling a twinge of sadness. There was a time when Barbara treated her well. She had always remembered that kindness and never complained about the sudden change in Barbara’s attitude. If Barbara didn’t like her, she simply s

The setting sun cast a faint halo as the deep blue sky gradually enveloped everything, her figure shrouded and stretched out by the fading light.Lucas stood there, silently watching her for a long time as if trying to see straight into her heart.Sensing a gaze on her, Aveline turned and met his intense eyes. She blinked. "When did you come out?"Judging by his expression, he’d been there for a while.She walked over to him and handed him the orange soda she held. "Do you want a drink?"Barbara was too old, and her body couldn’t handle it, but Aveline had bought it anyway—she liked orange soda herself.Lucas took the drink and asked, "What do you want for dinner?"Aveline replied, "I’m eating at home."Lucas responded, "Can I come too?"His dark eyes were fixed on her, his voice low and pleasant, his tone soft as he made his request.Aveline shook her head. "No, you can’t."She had only come to see Barbara; if he wanted her cooking, he could keep dreaming.She took off the diamond bra

"Juliet," Zachary replied, naming someone from their past. "After her biological parents found her, she never came back. I didn't expect her to return this time, but she did. She even brought a lot of things and told me she plans to make regular donations to the orphanage."Aveline's expression shifted slightly. Her memories of Juliet were already a bit blurred, but she vaguely remembered that Juliet had always been a favorite of Hilda’s. Hilda would always give Juliet the best of everything she had.Back then, the orphanage’s conditions weren't great. Most of the children wore patched-up clothes, but Juliet always had new clothes and always looked clean and beautiful.Aveline had been a quiet child, always keeping to herself in the corner.Zachary sighed. "I never thought she'd come back. Now she’s the cherished heiress of the prestigious Cooper family in Larbor City, living a life of luxury."The Cooper family?Aveline’s eyes widened slightly. Was it the same Cooper family she knew o

“Bang!”Suddenly, her car was hit with a violent jolt, forcing her body to lurch forward. Fortunately, her seatbelt held her back; otherwise, she would have slammed into the steering wheel.“Knock, knock, knock!”Before she could even react, someone was banging aggressively on her window.Aveline frowned and turned to see a burly man standing outside, his face full of impatience.She rolled down the window and asked, frowning. "What do you want?"Seeing that it was a woman behind the wheel, the man grew even more arrogant. He pointed a finger at her and shouted, “Do you even know how to drive? The light turned green, and you didn’t notice? What are your eyes for? If you can't drive, don’t come out here and embarrass yourself!”Aveline's expression turned colder. She pulled out her phone and said, “You rear-ended me, and now you’re blaming me? Where’s your sense of shame?”Seeing this, the man rolled up his sleeves and barked, “Hey, watch how you talk, lady! What do you mean by blaming
