Chapter 108
She kept a blank face, turned around, and left the men’s clothing store, heading straight to another trendy store.
When Russell came out and didn’t see her, he paused, puzzled. “. Where did she go?”
Selena said in surprise, “Mr. Skyler, I didn’t expect you to look so handsome in a suit. It seems that good–looking people can make even a rag look fashionable.”
Russell replied, “Thank you for the compliment.”
Selena added, “Ave went to the opposite store.”
Russell glanced at his suit, his eyes flickering briefly before he went back to change out of it. Then he headed to the trendy store across the way.
Aveline had already picked out an outfit. She said to Russell, “Mr. Skyler, this set suits your style perfectly.”
Russell smiled. “But I thought the suit looked pretty good too.”
Aveline asked, “Do you like suits?”
Russell replied, “I can wear anything.‘
Aveline said, “Try this outfit, then.”
Russell agreed. “Alright.”
Selena walked over leisurely and, looking at Aveline, leaned in to say, “You should’ve seen him in that suit earlier. He looked amazing.
Aveline dismissed it. “All men look the same in suits, don’t they?”
Selena shook her head, “Not at all. A handsome man in a suit looks

like a CEO, but an unattractive one just ruins good clothes.”
Aveline gave her a look. “What are you trying to say?”
Selena’s smile faded a bit. “I’m serious. If you want a divorce and to get rid of that scumbag, maybe you could ask Mr. Skyler for help.”
Aveline sighed. “Don’t I have enough trouble already?”
She was already in a complicated relationship with Lucas. Adding Russell into the mix would make things worse.
Selena shook her head. “If the Skyler family pressures the Tudor family, they’ll have to force Lucas to divorce you. Aveline, it’s better to rip the band–aid off quickly.”
Aveline fell silent.
Just then, Russell walked out.
Dressed in the trendy outfit, he looked even more rebellious and wild, exuding an irresistible allure.
Russell took out his phone and snapped a picture in the mirror. Whether intentionally or not, he included Aveline in the shot.
He quickly posted the photo on social media. “You bought this for me, I really like it.”
The high society circle in Cloudflare City was small, so it didn’t take long for the post to be shared multiple times until it appeared in one of Lucas’s group chats.
At that moment, Lucas was reviewing some documents when a notification popped up on his computer. His brows furrowed as he saw the flurry of messages in the group chat, all focused on the photo.
Russell had never posted a photo with a girl before, making this one particularly notable and sparking intense discussion.

Lucas clicked on the photo and his eyes immediately darkened.
She had gone shopping with Russell to buy him clothes.
A cold aura enveloped Lucas, lowering the temperature around him by several degrees. He took out his phone and called Aveline.
“Sorry, the number you are calling is currently busy…”
The automated message played, and the next second, Lucas was infuriated and laughed bitterly.
Ha!
She had blocked him?
Excellent!
Lucas’s slender, elegant fingers gripped the phone, his demeanor growing even colder. “Desmond.”
The office door opened, and Desmond walked in.
Lucas threw a stack of documents at him and said coldly, “Who checked these? Take them back and redo them!”
Desmond glanced down, his expression turning wooden.
These were all the tasks Aveline was responsible for.
