Semua Bab After the CEO Divorced Me, He Wants Me Back: Bab 721 - Bab 730

Gernard’s expression grew more serious. "Juliet, I can agree to anything else, but not this. You are the heiress of the Skyler family; you must not do something that would destroy someone else's marriage."“What do you mean by destroying someone’s marriage?” Juliet pouted. “I’ve already looked into it; they’re getting a divorce. Besides, didn’t you also hire a lawyer to help? You’ve done so much already, so why won’t you help me with this?”Gernard was surprised at how much she knew, his brows furrowing. “Juliet, why not like someone else? Why must it be him? Since you’ve investigated him, you should know he isn’t someone you can trust.”He tried to reason with her, “Aveline once saved his life, yet he wants to divorce her and has caused her so much pain. If that’s how he treats his savior, do you think he’ll treat you any better?”Juliet dismissed his reasoning, saying, “He dares to treat his wife that way because she has nothing. He wouldn’t dare do the same to me; I have the entire

Aveline glanced at the menu and raised an eyebrow. "Aren’t you worried I’ll make you broke?"Selena waved her hand dismissively. "Order whatever you like! I'm not afraid!"Aveline smiled and ordered without being wasteful, choosing dishes she actually enjoyed. She called over the waiter, handed over the menu, and as the sliding door closed, she caught a glimpse of a few people passing by outside.Their eyes met briefly, and Aveline fell silent.Lucas, Aaron, and Lance were there.What a coincidence.The door slid shut, cutting off their line of sight.Selena started talking about her new job, filled with excitement and hope for the future. Aveline listened quietly before saying, "I'm planning to resign."Selena paused for a moment, then nodded. "That might be for the best. Once the court hearing is over and the divorce is finalized, you'll be free of any restraints."Aveline replied, "Let’s hope it goes smoothly."Selena smiled. "It definitely will."…In the private room next door, Aa

"Even the law gives people a chance to redeem themselves, but you won’t," Lucas remarked, his eyes on her. In the dimly lit car, the streetlights flickered past, but they couldn’t illuminate the darkness in his gaze.Aveline pressed her lips together and replied, "But you’ve hurt me. I have a fragile heart. I won’t touch anything that causes me pain again."Silence filled the car.For a moment, Lucas wished he could go back in time and slap himself. Why had he been so foolish?He closed his eyes...There was no turning back in this world, no way to undo what had been done. At this point, words felt utterly meaningless.They arrived at Maple Garden.Aveline parked the car and left, heading directly towards the entrance. Lucas remained quiet, following her silently into the elevator.The conversation in the car left them both in a heavy silence.Aveline suddenly realized that some words were not as difficult to say as she thought. Speaking them out loud actually made her feel a bit ligh

"Aveline, I know you plan to leave, but you're still here, still in this position. You have to complete your responsibilities. The studio isn't just mine," Maria said firmly.Aveline's eyelashes fluttered slightly before she replied, "Alright, I understand."Though her relationship with Maria was friendly outside of work, here in the studio, they were just employer and employee. Aveline's sudden decision to resign hadn’t angered Maria, likely out of respect for their past friendship. But if Aveline were to do nothing now and simply wait to leave, she’d be taking advantage of that friendship.Maria reached out and squeezed her shoulder gently. "Thank you for understanding."Back in the meeting room, Aveline continued discussing the contract details with Patrick. He had considerable assets, so he had no objections to the costs involved in building the house.After they finished going over everything, Patrick paid the deposit. Aveline would need to visit the site for an inspection and th

A vein throbbed at Sidney's temple, and without another word, he turned and walked away.Maria chuckled softly, watching his retreating back. There was no need to rush.…Aveline threw herself into work, heading out the next day to inspect the plot of land Patrick owned. It was surrounded by a vineyard, making it an ideal location for a winery. Patrick's main goal was to build a resort-style winery, catering to the elite for leisure and entertainment, so he was particular about every detail.After gaining a general understanding of the terrain and Patrick's vision, Aveline returned to the studio and began working tirelessly on the designs, sketching day and night.When the first draft was ready, Myron called to inform her that the court date had been set for a week from now.At the same time, Lucas also received the court notification.He was dining at Club Nine with a group of business partners. After hanging up the phone, his strikingly handsome face remained as impassive as ever,
