Winter had settled in, and the season's first snowfall blanketed the ground. Aveline wrapped her scarf snugly around her face as she stepped out of the building. The sky had already darkened, and she noticed a car parked a short distance away. Her steps faltered slightly when she spotted Gernard standing there, clad in a black coat."Mr. Cooper," she greeted as she approached, offering a polite smile. "I'm sorry to keep you waiting."Gernard smiled faintly and opened the car door. "No need to apologize; I just got here myself. Let's get in.""Alright." Aveline nodded.Earlier, Gernard had contacted her out of the blue, saying he wanted to meet. She felt a little puzzled but didn't refuse. After all, Gernard was her brother by blood. Perhaps this would be a chance to gauge his stance on things.The car's heating was on high, quickly dispelling the cold as Aveline removed her scarf. They drove to a restaurant, and once inside a private room, Gernard spoke up, "I came back unexpectedly t

Juliet returned to her room, quickly grabbing her phone and dialing a number. Her tone was full of accusations. "Didn't you say you were going to help me? Where are you? Where’s your plan? Are you lying to me?"The voice on the other end was calm and unhurried. "Why are you so anxious? Do you know you’re already under surveillance? Those two things you did have already been found out.""Impossible!" Juliet jumped up, her face filled with certainty. "I did everything so discreetly, how could they have found out? You must be lying to me!"A cold laugh came from the other end, and then Leo spoke, "Who do you think Lucas is? He managed to wrest control of the Tudor Group from his own father, pushing him to a stroke and hospitalization. His capabilities are far from ordinary."Juliet's panic grew, and she quickly asked, "If they know it was me, are they going to expose me?"Leo replied, "Exposing you is inevitable, it’s just a matter of time. In the meantime, lay low, stay quiet, and wait f

There was one week left until the end of the cooling-off period.Aveline had been extremely busy, leaving early and returning late every day, with the two interns following suit. One afternoon, she received an unexpected call.“Hello?” she answered, puzzled.“Is this Miss Young? I'm the caregiver looking after Madam Barbara. Do you have some time now? She said she wants to see you,” the caregiver's voice came through.Aveline frowned slightly, considering Barbara's current condition. “Does she remember me?” she asked.The caregiver replied, “You'll know when you get here.” And with that, the line went dead.Aveline felt a bit suspicious, but she didn't dwell on it too much. She quickly sent a message to Lucas. He didn't respond immediately; he was likely busy.Since Aveline didn't have much scheduled for the afternoon—most of her tasks had been handed over to the two interns who were eager to learn and take on their first big project—she decided to head directly to the nursing home.

Lucas's expression was truly terrifying, cold as ice, his dark eyes laced with a hint of harshness. Even though the person on the hospital bed was his grandmother, he showed no sign of softening. Aveline saw this and quickly said, "No, Grandma didn’t bully me." Barbara nodded repeatedly. “Yes, yes, I didn’t bully her. She wanted to cry on her own, I didn’t bully her.” Aveline was at a loss for words, caught between laughing and crying. She wiped her tears and said, "Seeing Grandma like this now, I just remembered some things from the past." Hearing this, Lucas’ expression softened a bit, and he asked, “What did you remember?” Aveline, her eyes red from crying, looked at him with a faint sadness. “Are you sure you want to know?” Lucas sighed. “Never mind.” There were many unpleasant things in the past, best not to bring them up. He turned to Barbara with a softened expression. “Why did you want to see her today?” Barbara still looked aggrieved and scared, her cloudy

Lucas let out a helpless laugh. “Yes, yes, it’s my idea, not you asking for my help, so you don’t owe me anything.” Aveline immediately looked away. The two fell into silence once again. By the time they arrived at the hospital, the sky had already darkened. Aveline had arranged a private room for Annie at the time so she could recover in peace. Now, there was a middle-aged couple standing outside the door of the room. The woman was banging on the door forcefully, shouting loudly. The nurses and security guards nearby were trying to calm her down, but she wouldn’t listen. “Annie, you worthless girl, get out here right now! Didn’t you say you were going to tutor someone? Why are you at the hospital? Did you do something shameful and get beaten up by someone’s wife, so you ended up here? You little tramp, open this door, and I’ll beat you to death today for being so shameless!” The woman’s words were harsh and vulgar, without a thought that she was talking about her own da
