"Wow!" Selena gasped loudly as she saw what was happening inside the room. She moved to burst in, ready to confront the pair.But Aveline quickly stopped her, pulling the door shut.Selena turned to her, furious. "Why are you stopping me? Let me go in there and tear those two apart!"The dim lighting in the hallway cast a shadow over Aveline's pale face. Her eyes seemed lost as she bit her lip, finally speaking in a soft voice. "We’re divorced."The implication was clear—Lucas was free to be with anyone he wanted now.Selena fell silent, her anger cooling. She suddenly realized that, legally, Aveline no longer had any right to confront Lucas. They weren’t together anymore."Let’s go. We’ll head to the police station and withdraw the missing person report," Selena said quietly, looping her arm through Aveline's.Aveline didn’t respond, allowing Selena to lead her away. The lively music of the bar droned on as they walked through the crowd, but Aveline’s expression grew more numb with ev

Lucas completely ignored Selena’s protests, pacing around the living room, and searching every corner. Not finding anyone, he headed straight for the bedroom."Hey, stop!" Selena rushed over, arms outstretched to block his way. "What do you think you’re doing?"His bloodshot eyes fixed on her, cold and intense. "Move."The icy chill and overwhelming pressure radiating from him made Selena falter momentarily, but she stood her ground. "No. Why are you barging in like this?"Frustration boiled over in Lucas. If Selena was trying this hard to stop him, then Aveline must be here. Why was she keeping him away? Didn’t she understand how desperately he’d been searching for Aveline, how close to madness he’d been?Lucas had little patience left. Just as he was about to push Selena aside, the bedroom door creaked open.Aveline stood there, dressed in soft sleepwear, one hand resting on the doorframe, the other hanging loosely at her side. She looked fragile, ethereal, but her face was pale, a

Lucas handed Aveline her phone, watching as she powered it on and checked her messages. Just then, Selena's call came through.Aveline answered, "Hello, Selena.""Aveline! What’s going on? You left without me? Weren’t we supposed to go together? How could you just leave without saying a word? Do you even consider me your friend?" Selena’s furious voice came through, clearly showing how upset she was.Aveline held the phone a little further away from her ear, waiting for Selena to finish before softly apologizing, "I’m sorry. I really wanted to leave, but I didn’t manage to. I’m actually just having breakfast outside right now. Do you... want to join me?""Where are you?"Another sharp shout came, followed by the call being abruptly ended.Aveline scratched her nose, an awkward smile spreading across her face.Lucas gently looked at her, tucking a loose strand of hair behind her ear. "Knowing you were planning to leave without telling anyone... why does that weirdly make me feel better

Wilfried sat on the sofa, eyes closed, saying nothing.Gavin glanced at Judith, his stepmother, who had always been cautious in the Cooper family. She began to speak, "It's just that—""Silence!" Wilfried’s voice cut through the tension, making the atmosphere in the living room even more stifling.Realizing something serious had happened, Gavin didn’t press for more details and instead took a seat quietly on the sofa, waiting.Half an hour later, there was another sound at the door. Gernard and Juliet entered one after the other. The moment Gernard stepped inside, he noticed something was off and asked, "Dad, Gavin, what’s going on?"Juliet stood nervously behind him, her anxiety growing as a sense of foreboding washed over her.Wilfried finally opened his eyes and said, "Since everyone’s here, take a look at these," pointing to the documents on the coffee table.Gavin, being the closest, picked them up and started reading. The further he got, the darker his expression became."Did y

Gernard, in a daze, muttered, "Where is our real sister?"Gavin's expression remained cold. "Juliet came from Arthur Town Orphanage. Back then, we did a paternity test and confirmed she was our sister. Now that I think about it, she handed over a strand of hair directly... maybe it wasn’t even hers."Gernard looked at him. "So, you think our real sister might still be at the orphanage?""It’s possible," Gavin replied.However, so many years had passed, and Arthur Town Orphanage wasn’t what it used to be. The children from those days had grown up and scattered across different places, making the search incredibly difficult.For some reason, an image of Aveline suddenly appeared in Gernard’s mind.Just then, a servant entered the room and said, "Mr. Gavin, Mr. Gernard, there’s a man outside who calls himself Lucas Tudor and would like to see you."Lucas? What was he doing here?Gernard’s expression shifted as he thought about Juliet's previous actions. Could Lucas be here to settle scor
