Aveline nodded slightly. “Yes, he’s really crossed the line. As the heir to the Tudor family, if he refuses to follow orders, then he’s not a worthy successor.”Selena frowned in confusion. “Ave, what do you mean by that?”Aveline glanced at her and said, “I mean, he deserves what’s coming to him.”Selena couldn’t help but burst out laughing. “You’re absolutely right-he totally deserves it!”Russell, who had been calmly peeling an apple, finished and handed it to Aveline.”Thanks,” she said, taking the apple.Russell wiped the knife clean with a tissue and placed it aside, a playful smile tugging at his lips. “You know, now might be the perfect time to file for divorce. Lucas is stretched thin, so he wouldn’t have the energy to fight you. I’ll help you, and I guarantee you’ll get the divorce.”Aveline took a bite of the apple, the sweet and tart juices bursting in her mouth. Her expression remained calm as she replied, “Wouldn’t the lawyer fees be expensive?”Russell’s smile widened. “Not at all. I can refer you to someone who’ll give you a discount.”Aveline responded, “I’ll think about it.”Selena, growing impatient, urged, “What’s there to think about? This is the perfect chance! If you hesitate, that jerk Lucas might bounce back.”Aveline couldn’t help but smile at her enthusiasm.Russell, however, added, “It’s true, he might manage to recover.”Aveline lowered her gaze slightly, taking another bite of the apple. “Alright, Russ. Go ahead and make the arrangements.””That’s the spirit!” Selena cheered, visibly excited.Russell nodded. “Alright.”He didn’t say much more, but his eyes held a serious, almost solemn look as he gazed at Aveline, as if making a silent promise to her. Aveline quietly finished the apple, lost in thought.Just then, there was a knock on the door.”Ave.”Maria walked in, carrying some things. Noticing that Aveline looked much better than before, she smiled and said, “You’re recovering well.”Following behind her was Sidney, holding a bouquet of flowers. He handed them to Aveline with a warm smile. “Wishing you a speedy recovery.”Aveline accepted the flowers, her lips curving into a slight smile. “Thank you. How did you find out?”It had been nearly twenty days sinceher car accident, and no one else knew. During this time, she had only taken leave, telling them she had personal matters to attend to without mentioning the accident. Maria gave her a reproachful look. “How could you ask how we found out? Why didn’t you tell me about something this serious? I might be your boss, but we’re friends first, aren’t we?” S~ᴇaʀᴄh the FɪndNøvel.ηᴇt website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.Sidney added, “You should have told us sooner, Aveline.”When Sidney heard from Maria today that Aveline had been in a car accident and was hospitalized, his heart felt like it was being squeezed, making it hard to breathe.Aveline gave them both a pleading look. “Forgive me, you two. I just didn’t want to worry you. I’m sorry, okay?”Maria huffed, “Alright, I’ll let it slide since you’re a patient right now.”Sidney’s expression softened, and he asked, “How are you feeling now?”Aveline sighed with relief. “Much better.””That’s good.” Sidney’s gaze lingered on her face, unwilling to look away.Selena, watching from the side, suddenly leaned in and whispered to Aveline, “Why do I feel like there’s a bit of a love triangle brewing here?”
