The girl looked aggrieved, her expression defiant.Aveline watched her calmly. Seeing that the girl had spent an entire night detained yet remained so composed, without a hint of guilt, Aveline turned her gaze to Russell.“Bring it over,” Russell instructed his men.One of his subordinates approached with a laptop, the screen displaying a surveillance video.He hit play, and the footage showed the girl entering the banquet hall, her eyes immediately fixating on Aveline. Wherever Aveline went, the girl followed at a discreet distance, as if waiting for something.Finally, the footage showed Aveline drinking a glass of juice. About five minutes later, the girl casually walked past Aveline, feigning concern and asking a few questions.The surveillance camera’s audio quality was surprisingly good; other background noises were filtered out, leaving the girl’s voice clear as she suggested Aveline go upstairs to rest.As soon as Aveline left, the girl took out her phone and sent a message.Th

Linda Slater’s eyes widened in disbelief. "How… how do you know all this?"Lucas looked at her as if she were a fool. "Was your identity that hard to uncover?"Linda's face instantly drained of color, and her body seemed to lose all strength. She stared blankly ahead.It's over… everything is over.She had thought that if she just denied everything, she would be fine, and her family would be safe. But Lucas was far more terrifying than she had imagined!Her family, who could be used as leverage by the man behind all this, could just as easily become pawns in Lucas' hands!Lucas watched her expression and said calmly, "It looks like you've finally figured it out."Linda closed her eyes, and after a long pause, she spoke, "I'll talk. You can punish me however you want, but please, spare my family. They are innocent."Lucas replied, "Start talking."Tears streamed down Linda's face as she pleaded, "Mr. Tudor, I beg you, please let them go."Lucas’ sharp and handsome face held a hint of m

Aveline paused, pulling her hand away. "Lucas, I expect you to keep your promise."A flicker of disappointment crossed Lucas' eyes, and his lips pressed into a thin line. He looked at her calm yet distant face, unable to understand how, after the passion they shared last night, she could now be so cold.It was just like they said—once the deed was done, she acted like he was a stranger.The atmosphere in the car grew tense and heavy, neither of them saying a word.Aveline hadn’t slept well the previous night. When she got back to Maple Garden, she called Maria to take the day off and lay down to rest. But with so much on her mind, she couldn't find peace, tossing and turning in bed.After half an hour of restless sleep, she finally gave up and got up.When she arrived at the studio, the first thing she noticed was Sidney coming out of the office, looking rather troubled.“What’s going on?” she asked casually, sensing something was off.Sidney’s eyes flickered when he saw her. After a

Aveline sat cross-legged in the living room, hugging a pillow as she watched TV. The warm, soft light illuminated her, casting a gentle glow over her, making her look like a serene figure in a painting.Lucas entered that painting. He had shed his suit jacket and rolled up the sleeves of his shirt, meticulously cleaning the dining area and kitchen before joining her. Sitting beside her, his gaze shifted to the television. It was a historical fantasy drama with impressive costumes and solid acting. She seemed thoroughly engrossed.Lucas, however, was far less interested in the show. His eyes drifted back to her face. He thought, rather than watching TV, there were much more enjoyable things they could be doing."Have you thought about it?" he asked, his deep voice cutting through the dialogue between the male and female leads on the screen.Aveline's eyelashes fluttered slightly. "After I finish this episode."Lucas chuckled softly, wrapping his arm around her shoulders. She tensed

Aveline paused, looking at Selena. "You figured it out this quickly?"Selena's arm draped over Aveline's shoulder, her tipsy face flushed a soft pink under the flickering lights, her gaze unfocused as she stared ahead.“When I met with the Fletchers, they made quite the impression. They left me waiting in the conservatory for two hours before they saw me. And when they finally did, they didn’t even say what they wanted. They just handed me a stack of debutante photos and asked me to help pick Aaron's future wife. Can you believe it?” Her voice wavered, and tears began to stream down her face. She wiped them away with a quick swipe of her hand. “Ave, I thought I’d never fall for Aaron. I thought I could laugh off their little power play, but I couldn’t. I felt humiliated in a way I didn’t expect.”She looked at Aveline, her eyes red, and continued, “They didn’t say anything directly, they didn’t insult me, but I still felt small… ashamed. Ave, am I in too deep?”Aveline replied, "Yeah,
