Hearing Selena's words, Aveline couldn't help but feel a mix of amusement and helplessness. Still, she obediently went back inside, realizing she did feel a bit cold....A dreamless night.The next day.At nine in the morning, Aveline arrived punctually at the entrance of the lawyer’s office. Within five minutes, a Panamera pulled into the parking space. Lucas stepped out of the car, his tall figure exuding a cold aura, his sharp features looking even colder than the winter air."You’re here so early? Aren't you cold?" he asked as he walked up to her, reaching out and cupping her face in his hands, his palms warm against her chilled skin. For a moment, she found herself unwilling to pull away from his warmth.Aveline lowered her gaze slightly and replied, "I just got here too.""Let's go in, then."With that, Lucas led the way, and the two of them entered the lawyer’s office together. They were the first couple of the day.With the documents and paperwork already prepared, it didn’t

Hearing her words, Gernard felt an inexplicable discomfort in his heart, but he had indeed come with an agenda.He was silent for a moment, then asked, "How are things between you and Lucas?"Of course, that was his motive.Aveline gave a silent, mocking smile. "Mr. Cooper, I'm genuinely curious—why are you so determined to persuade me to divorce Lucas? Selena is my best friend, my family, but even she hasn't been constantly telling me to divorce him."Gernard sighed quietly. His intentions were too obvious, and he wasn't surprised she saw right through him."Can we meet?" he asked.Aveline replied, "Where?"She was eager to hear what shameless things Gernard might have to say this time. That way, she could completely give up any hope for the Cooper family.At noon, they met at a restaurant. When Aveline arrived, Gernard was already there. He had ordered the food and poured her some tea. After she took a few sips, he finally spoke, "I must start by apologizing. I'm sorry."Aveline l

Trisha's expression faltered slightly as she recalled what Yvonne had told her when she arrived. Yvonne had said she needed to stay with her for a while and that if anyone came looking for her, she was to see no one and not let anyone meet with her.It seemed Yvonne was hiding from Lucas.Trisha knew her sister well enough to guess that Yvonne had likely done something to anger Lucas and was now seeking refuge with her. Her expression wavered for just a couple of seconds before she replied calmly, "I'll pass the message along, but she's been taking care of Frederick and is quite exhausted. I hope she can rest a bit longer."After a brief pause, she asked, "Since you say you know where my son is, where is he now?"Desmond smiled slightly. "As soon as Madam Yvonne returns to the Tudor household, you'll be informed of your son's whereabouts."Trisha slammed her hand on the table. "You're threatening me!"Desmond showed no fear. "I wouldn't dare. You've misunderstood, Mrs. Skyler. I have

In the following days, Lucas messaged her daily, but there was still no news about Annie. Aveline had been struggling with insomnia as well. The video's hype had diminished somewhat but still lingered on the trending list.One day, while Aveline was in her study drawing, her phone suddenly rang. She glanced at the screen—it was an unfamiliar number. She hesitated for a moment but decided to answer it, guessing that the person behind everything might finally be reaching out to her."Hello, who's this?" Aveline asked in a cold tone.The voice on the other end was a processed electronic voice, making it impossible to discern the gender or emotion.“Do you want to see Annie? She’s with me.”Aveline immediately asked, “Who are you? Where is Annie?”The caller continued, “I’ll give you an address. Come alone. Don’t inform Lucas, and don’t let those two bodyguards follow you. Otherwise, I’ll kill her and frame Lucas for it. With the video still generating buzz, imagine how it would look i

No one responded to her hysterical outburst.Aveline felt like she was going mad! She had been played!Not only had she failed to see Annie, but now she was utterly helpless, and her vision was gone!What should she do? What could she do next?Confusion, helplessness, self-blame, regret… These emotions overwhelmed her, swallowing her whole. She crouched down in pain, hugging herself as her body trembled uncontrollably....Meanwhile, Baron and Braden circled the mall several times but still couldn’t find Aveline. They realized something had gone wrong!Baron quickly reported the situation to Lucas, while Braden contacted Maria and hacked into the mall’s surveillance system to search for Aveline.Lucas' expression was dark and stormy.Watching the surveillance footage, he saw Aveline enter the women's restroom. Less than ten minutes later, a woman with a similar build, heavily disguised, emerged. He immediately said, “Switch the camera, follow her!”“Got it,” Maria replied, her fingers
