Chapter 164 “Russ, why are you suddenly interested in the Tudor family’s affairs?” the person on the other end of the line asked in surprise. Russell replied slowly, “The old man wants me to show some real results. I’ve decided to work on that.” The other person was even more surprised. “Russ, you’re. actually considering going back to the Skyler family? I thought you weren’t interested.” Russell replied, “I’m interested now. Is that a problem?” “No, no problem at all! Russ, just wait. I’ll find out everything soon!” After hanging up the phone, a dark glint flashed in Russell’s eyes. What exactly was going on? The image of Aveline’s pale face flashed through his mind, and he tightened his grip on the steering wheel. Aveline had been waiting for two days, but the test results. still hadn’t come back. That morning, she went to work as usual, only to be surprised to find Desmond at her door. Aveline asked in confusion, “What’s going on?” Desmond gave her å professional smile and handed her a document. “This is a divorce agreement. Mr. Tudor has already signed it. Once you sign it, the agreement will take effect, and your marriage to Mr. Tudor will be dissolved.” Aveline’s expression froze, and her grip on the doorknob tightened, her knuckles turning white. The divorce she had longed for had come, but at this moment, she didn’t know whether to be happy or sad. She scoffed. “Lucas, you’re really ruthless.” He falsely accused her, and now he wanted to throw her away and blame everything on her. He had another thing coming! “Let me see it.” Aveline reached out her hand. Desmond handed her the divorce agreement, thinking that once she signed it, his task for the day would be complete. Aveline carefully read through the document, then suddenly raised her hand and tore the agreement to shreds! Desmond was shocked. “Miss Young, what are you doing…?” Hadn’t she been eager to get a divorce? Now that she could finally have her wish, why was she tearing up the agreement? Aveline’s eyes glinted with cold light. “I will divorce him, but not now. I didn’t poison him, and I will prove my innocence. He must apologize to me. Otherwise, I will never agree to the divorce!” Trying to pin all the blame on her and then dump her? No way! Aveline tossed the shredded paper into the trash and headed straight to work, closing the doge behind her. Ismond was left stunned. Now had things gone so differently from what he expected? At the hospital, Laicas‘ handsome, sharp face darkened as he listened to Desmond’s report. Aaron commented, “She’s a stubborn person. After what you said to her, of course, she was furious,” Laicas‘ lips parted slightly. “Keep sending the papers until she agrees to sign.” “Yes, Mr. Tudor,” Desmond replied. Aaron chuckled from the side. First, she wanted a divorce, and you refused. Now you want a divorce, and she refuses, Are you two playing a game?” Lucas‘ gaze shifted to his laptop. As soon as he started recovering, he began handling work again. He didn’t respond to Aaron’s comment and instead asked, ” How’s the investigation going?” Aaron’s expression grew more serious. “The other side covered their tracks well. We haven’t found anything suspicious yet. Laicas, could it be that we’re looking in the wrong direction?” A “Impossible,” Lucas replied coldly, “To achieve his goals, he’ll stop at nothing. Either you haven’t found anything yet, or he has hidden it very well.” surviving.” Aaron took a bite of an apple. “True. He used every trick in the book to try to kill you.

After the CEO Divorced Me, He Wants Me Back
A year ago, Aveline Young found a man with amnesia on the side of the road and brought him home. This man was strikingly handsome, with broad shoulders, long legs, and a face that could easily earn a fortune in modeling. Aveline felt an embarrassing flutter in her heart and on a whim, they quickly got married. However, once the man recovered his memory, his first action was to divorce her, claiming he needed to go back and take over his family’s business. Aveline was stunned but accepted the divorce, thinking that money was more important and that she shouldn’t be tied to one man when there were plenty of younger options available. On the day they finalized their divorce, Aveline shocked everyone in Cloudflare City with a bold statement in the divorce papers: “He’s no good, so I got bored.” Post-divorce, Aveline was never short of attention from young, attractive men. At one social event, a friend inquired whether she would ever consider reconciling. Aveline scoffed. “The one who brings up getting back together is a dog!” Late one night, her phone rang. “Who’s this?” “Woof!”
Chapter 163 Aveline paused, realizing she had almost forgotten about the house. She shook her head. “I’m not selling it for now.” Russell nodded, his eyes fixed on her as if he had more to say. Aveline said, “I’ll go now. Goodbye.” “Alright,” Russell replied, turning to walk back toward the group of men. Aveline exhaled a deep breath and headed in the opposite direction. Her only hope now was the test results. Until they came out, she couldn’t clear her name. All she could do was wait. After walking for a few minutes, she heard the sound of a car engine behind her. Remembering what had happened earlier, she moved to the side to avoid any accidents. “Beep!” The car slowed down next to her and honked. Aveline turned in surprise to see Russell’s handsome, delicate face peering out from the car. He had one hand resting on the window, smiling slightly. “Get in. I’ll give you a ride.” Aveline was taken aback. She had thought he left, but it turned out he had gone to get his car. “Mr. Skyler, that’s really not necessary. I live nearby. I can walk,” Aveline politely declined. Russell insisted, “I’m heading home too. It’s on the way. Besides, there’s no need to be so polite with me unless you don’t consider me a friend.” His words left Aveline no room to refuse. He had saved her life earlier, after all. It would be rude to turn him down now. Aveline smiled at him. “Thank you, then.” She opened the passenger door and got in. Russell started the car and drove toward Maple Garden, his movements casual and relaxed. His exquisite face bore a faint, mischievous. smile. “I heard Lucas was poisoned,” Russell said. Aveline was surprised, “How did you know?” Russell replied, “Cloudflare City is small, and the social circles are even smaller. Unless something is deliberately hidden, it’s easy to find out about it.” He glanced at her. “Is that why you’re upset?” Aveline nodded lightly. Russell said, “Actually, I’m quite curious. How did you and Lucas end up together? I don’t mean anything by it, but both of you come from such different backgrounds that your lives shouldn’t have intersected.” Aveline paused, then gave a bitter smile. “Maybe it was fate.” Russell raised an eyebrow. Aveline continued, “But it’s all in the past now. People need to look forward.” Russell nodded. “You’re right.” They soon arrived at Maple Garden. Aveline unbuckled her seatbelt. Thank you.” Russell rested one hand on the steering wheel, a faint smile. on his lips. “If you don’t mind, I’d prefer if you didn’t treat me so formally. You can call me Russ like everyone else.” Aveline hesitated. “That… doesn’t seem right.” Russell raised an eyebrow. “But when you call me Mr. Skyler, it makes me feel like I’m seventy or eighty years old.” Aveline’s lips twitched, and she finally gave in. “Alright, Russ. Russell’s face relaxed into a smile. “Good. If you need anything, just let me know. Calling me Russ won’t be for nothing.” A warm feeling filled Aveline’s heart. “Alright, Russ. Goodbye. “Goodbye.” Aveline turned and went upstairs. Russell watched her until she disappeared, then rolled up the window and dialed a number. “Investigate what’s going on with the Tudor family.” BG SALE 3500 bonus free fou you
Chapter 162 Selena gave him a strange look. “Are you really that kind- hearted?” Aaron didn’t respond, only looked at her with a half–smile. Selena thought for a while and finally calmed down. Clearing her friend’s name was the most important thing now. If Aaron could really help, maybe there was hope. “I’ll help you,” Selena said, noticing his disheveled belt. She moved closer and began to adjust it with her fingers. As she leaned in, a faint fragrance from her perfume wafted to Aaron’s nose. He stared at her face and suddenly said, Actually, you’d be a good fit for the entertainment industry. Have you ever considered it?” Selena finished adjusting the belt and stepped back. “I’m not interested in fame.” When she moved away, the scent disappeared, leaving Aaron with a surprising sense of loss. His eyes flickered for a moment before he said, “My offer still stands. If you change your mind, let me know. I can make you a star within six months.” Selena smiled. “Thanks.” Aaron fell silent. Aveline went to the police station to inquire about the food test results. She still couldn’t understand why she didn’t get poisoned even though she had eaten the same food. However, when she arrived at the station, she was told the results were not ready yet. Disappointed, Aveline walked out. The sky had darkened, and thick clouds rolled across the horizon, pressing down like a weight on her heart. The heavy gloom completely enveloped her as she walked. along the roadside, somewhat lost in thought. Just then, the roar of a motorcycle engine sounded behind her. “Watch out!” Someone suddenly pulled her to the side by her arm. The motorcycle zoomed past her, and if she hadn’t been pulled away in time, it would have definitely hit her. “Thank you…” Aveline, still shaken, turned to express her gratitude. To her surprise, the person who had pulled her to safety was Russell. “Mr. Skyler, it’s you.” Russell’s brows furrowed. He had dyed his hair again, this time pure white. His exquisite features and mischievous eyes made him look like a handsome character straight out of a comic book. “What’s wrong with you? How can you be so lost in thought while walking?” Russell asked, looking at her with concern. Aveline’s long eyelashes fluttered as she said, “I was just thinking about some things.” Russell responded, “You need to be more careful in the future. If something really happens, it might be too late.” Aveline nodded. “Alright, I understand. By the way, what are you doing here?” Russell raised his chin and pointed in a direction, “A friend of mine got into some trouble, so I came to get him out.” Not far away, a few men were gathered, smoking and occasionally glancing over at them. Aveline said, “Oh, I see. I won’t hold you up then. I’ll get going.” “Wait…” Russell stopped her. “You haven’t told me what’s going on. You look terrible. What happened?” Aveline didn’t want to talk about it or involve Russell in her troubles. Things were already bad enough, and if he got involved, it could take an unpredictable turn. “It’s nothing,” Aveline replied. Russell narrowed his eyes slightly and then said, “Alright, but if something comes up, you can tell me. Maybe I can help. By the way, are you still selling your house?” +15 BONUS Chapter 163
Chapter 161 As soon as Selena thought of Aaron, she couldn’t help but think of Lucas, that jerk. In her mind, anyone who could be friends with Lucas couldn’t be much better in terms of character! Selena let out a cold laugh. “If you want to sue me, go ahead. I’m done with you!” With that, she hung up the phone and blocked Aaron’s number. In the hospital, Aaron stared at his phone, baffled. Was he just a victim of misdirected anger? Lucas did it, not him. What did it have to do with him? Aaron sighed helplessly, then tried to send Selena a message, only to find out she had blocked him. Aaron fell silent. This woman was a bit too much! He let out a cold laugh and found another number, dialing it directly. “I need you to do something for me.” Afraid that something might happen to Aveline, Selena stayed with her at Maple Garden. However, in the afternoon, she received a call from her boss. “Selena, I heard you hit Mr. Aaron?” Her boss‘ voice was trembling. 1/4 +15 BONUS Selena’s face darkened. “How do you know that?” Her boss replied, “How do I know? Mr. Aaron’s people came to the office today and said you need to take responsibility. Selena, didn’t you take leave to care for him? Where are you now? I’m telling you, if you don’t show up in ront of Mr. Aaron within half an hour, don’t bother coming back to work! !! After yelling, her boss hung up the phone. Selena was speechless. Her face was flushed with anger. She knew he was no good! He actually went to her company! “What’s wrong?” Aveline’s hoarse voice came from behind. Selena quickly turned around to see Aveline leaning against the doorframe. She had just woken up after sleeping for most of the day, looking much better than before. “It’s nothing, just a prank call!” Selena said cheerfully as she walked over. “How are you feeling now?” Aveline replied, “Hungry.” Selena laughed. “I’ll order takeout. Just wait a bit.” Aveline smiled and went to get some water. After placing the order, Selena said, “Was it Aaron who called you just now?” Selena paused. “How did you know?” Beine responded. He won the you off so easily. Selem… my station is already chartic enough You can’t afford to get in the After we eat war should go back.” Selena was reluctant. “I don’t want to go back.

When Selena walked in, Aaron immediately said, “Oh, you’re D Selena retorted, “Does your family know how despicable you Aaron wasn’t fazed by her taunt. He raised an eyebrow and said, “As long as I achieve my goal, it’s a good tactic. Do you agree? Selena took a deep breath, restraining herself from snapping his neck Aaron added, “Take good care of me. If I’m in a good mood, I might say a few good things about your friend to Lucas. Otherwise…” … Read More “Divorced 161” »
Chapter 160 Tears streamed down Aveline’s face, and only then did she seem to notice them. She wiped them away with her hand, then clenched her fist. “What’s there to cry about?” she muttered. But the more she tried to suppress them, the more the tears flowed. Selena quickly hugged her. “Ave, don’t cry. It’s not worth it for a man like him.” Aveline suddenly grabbed Selena’s arm, her fingers turning white from the grip. “He doesn’t believe me… How could he not believe me? When I took him in, he wasn’t like this.” He wasn’t like this at all. He had lost all his memories, like a blank slate, curious about her but also wary. But he had never looked at her with such cold, suspicious eyes. Never! The present Lucas was a stranger who terrified her. It was as if someone else had taken over Lu’s body, causing her immense pain. Selena patted her back. “People change. Men with or without money are different, too. Ave, you decided to divorce, right? It’s time to let go.” Aveline cried, her voice hoarse, “But… but I really loved him. How could he treat me like this?” How could he? His words and his eyes felt like knives stabbing into her heart, making it hard to breathe. Selena’s tears fell as well. In her heart, she cursed Lucas a thousand times, while trying to comfort and calm Aveline. The taxi driver glanced at them and opened his mouth as if to say something, but realizing it would be futile, he silently handed them tissues. Soon, they arrived at Maple Garden. Selena helped Aveline out of the car. She was crying so much she was out of breath and looked even worse. Once inside, Aveline sat on the sofa, quietly sobbing, trying to calm down. She needed to vent. If she didn’t, she wasn’t sure what terrible thing she might do. Selena poured her a cup of honey water. “Ave, stop crying. Drink some sweet honey water and try to forget those unhappy things.” “Thank you, Selena. I’m so grateful to have you by my side,” Aveline said, looking at her with appreciation. If Selena hadn’t been there, Aveline really didn’t know what she would have done. Selena replied, “I told you I’d be useful if I stayed. But you kept trying to push me away.” “I was wrong,” Aveline said, blinking her swollen eyes, looking pitifully at her. Selena sighed. “Alright, alright, I forgive you. Now drink the honey water and get a good night’s sleep. When you wake up, you’ll still look beautiful!” +15 BONUS Aveline nodded. She needed to pull herself together. Wasting so much energy on him really wasn’t worth it. Every time she thought of his eyes, her heart ached, so she tried not to think about it. She put down the cup and went into the bedroom. After taking a shower to wash away her exhaustion and pain, she climbed into bed. She thought she would have trouble sleeping, but she fell asleep within five minutes of laying down. Selena stood at the door, looking at her with a heart full of sorrow. Just then, her phone rang. She took it out and saw it was Aaron calling. “What is it?” Selena answered, her tone icy. Aaron replied, “You’re my caregiver, and you ran off. When I call you, you ask me what it’s about? Miss Quin, have you forgotten what you’re supposed to be doing?”

Aveline clenched her fists, staringat Lucas’s face. She took a deep breath and said, “I didn’t poison you, Lucas, If you find out later that you misunderstood me, don’t come looking for me. I won’t forgive you.” With that, she turned and walked out. Under the covers, Laicas‘ hand clenched into a fist. Just then, Sophia walked in, seeing Aveline’s pale face as she left. She asked in confusion, “What happened?” Yvonne sighed. “Laras says Aveline poisoned him,” Sophia’s eyes widened in disbelief. How bow is that possible” Frederick said, “Lucas, ouce you’re recovered, divorce that woman immediately. You should marry Sophia. Settle down and have a child won, and these problems will go away. ” Sophia’s eyes flickered, and she said, “Mr. Frederick, Lucas is still very weak Let’s discuss this later. Lucas said, “I want to be alone Frederick nodded “Alright, we’ll leave for now and come back later.” *15 BONUS He and Yvonne left the hospital together. Sophia walked over and sat by the bed. “Lucas, you…” “Leave too,” Lucas interrupted her, stopping her from continuing. Sophia bit her lip and stood up. “Alright, I’ll come back later.” One by one, they left, leaving only Lucas and Aaron, who was sitting in a wheelchair, in the room. “Lucas, are you serious?” Aaron asked, looking at him with a complex expression after hesitating for a long time. Lucas said, “I ate the food she cooked and got poisoned. Who do you think is the most suspicious?” Aaron frowned. “Even though I also suspect her, you shouldn’t have said it like that. Didn’t you see her face? She looked like she could collapse at any moment.” Lucas responded in a deep voice, “There’s something I need you to take care of…” Selena had been holding Sharon back, but before long, Aveline emerged, her face extremely pale and looking as if she might collapse at any moment. Selena was startled and quickly supported her. “Ave, are you alright? ད་ Aveline said, “Let’s go… let’s go…” Selena wanted to ask what had happened, but seeing Aveline’s condition, she held back from asking. She supported Aveline as they left. Sharon crossed her arms and smiled smugly, “Serves her right.” +15 BONUS Selena glared at Sharon. If Aveline weren’t in such a bad state, she would have definitely had a fierce argument with Sharon. That woman’s mouth was truly vile! In the car, Aveline stared blankly out the window, her face pale. Selena was very worried. “Ave, what exactly happened?” Aveline’s long eyelashes trembled, and tears suddenly streamed down her face. Yet, she remained expressionless as she said, “He thinks I poisoned him.” Selena’s eyes widened. “What? How could he think that? Is he crazy? D COMMENTS
Chapter 158 Aveline pushed Sharon aside and rihed in. “You can’t go in!” Sharon tried to grab Aveline, but Selena intercepted her. “What are you doing? Do you want to bump into me? Believe me, I’ll fall and sue you for everything.” Sharon’s eyes widened in disbelief. You…” Wow! This woman was absolutely unreasonable! Selena lifted her chin, keeping a watchful eye on Sharon. Meanwhile, inside the hospital room, Frederick, Yvonne, and Aaron were all anxiously watching the man on the bed. Lucas slowly opened his eyes. His handsome, sharp face was pale, and he looked unwell. “Lucas, you’re finally awake! You scared me to death!” Frederick sighed in relief upon seeing Lucas awake. Aaron, standing nearby, asked, “How do you feel?” Lucas‘ sharp eyebrows furrowed. He still had the oxygen mask on, and his voice was muffled. “I’m okay.” Yvonne said, “Lucas, it’s such a relief that you’re alright. You don’t know how worried your father was. Your wife, Aveline, stood outside the room all night. But how did you get poisoned? Did you eat something bad?” As soon as she finished speaking, the atmosphere in the room tured tense and oppressive. Luc. dark eyes grew colder. In a hoarse voice, he asked, “Where… is she?” “Lucas.” HIS BONUS At that moment, Aveline rushed in. Seeing him awake, tears immediately streamed down her face. She threw herself by the bed. ” You’re awake? Are you okay? Do you still feel unwell?” Seeing that he was really awake, Aveline finally felt a sense of relief. She clutched Lucas‘ hand tightly as if drawing warmth from himi like someone on the verge of death. “Who allowed her in here?” Frederick’s face darkened as he saw her. Yvonne quickly intervened, “Honey, don’t be like this. Aveline is still Lucas‘ wife. Now that he’s awake, they must have things to talk about.” She pulled Frederick, trying to lead him out of the room. But at that moment, Lucas‘ hoarse voice echoed in the room,” Aveline, do you hate me that much?” Yvonne raised her eyebrows in surprise. Frederick’s expression grew even darker. Aaron’s brow furrowed tightly. Aveline’s eyes widened in disbelief. “What… what do you mean?” Why was he saying this? Did he really think she had poisoned him? Lucas slowly and firmly withdrew his hand from hers, his eyes filled with disappointment as he looked at her. “I misjudged you.” Aveline’s face turned even paler. She tried to stay calm, her fingers curling inwards as she asked, “Lucas, have you lost your mind? Do you hear what you’re saying?” “I don’t want to see you,” Lucas said weakly, then closed his eyes. “Lucas!” Aveline’s emotions were almost out of control, her eyes stinging with the urge to cry. She fought back the tears. “Explain yourself Do you really think I’m the would but you?” “Get her out, throw her mut tower *** lean weak right now, and you’w sheet to 1 per i ther
Chapter 157 Aveline’s figure suddenly swayed. “What nonsense are you talking about? Selena hurried over. “They’ve been married for almost a year. Lucas knows what kind of person Aveling is. He must know she wouldn’t poison him!” “Really?” Aaron gave a meaningful smile before opening the hospital room door and walking in. Selena frowned. “Hey, what do you mean by that? Explain yourself before you go in!” She tried to follow, but the bodyguards stopped her. As Aveline’s friend, she wasn’t allowed inside either. “How frustrating!” Selena’s face scrunched up in anger. She turned to see Aveline staring blankly ahead, her face alarmingly pale. “Ave, don’t listen to his nonsense. He’s just trying to scare you!” Selena said quickly. Aveline shook her head. “He’s not lying. It’s possible that Lucas could hate me.” Selena was confused. “How could that be? Before he regained his memory, he loved you so much. Even now, with his memory back, those feelings haven’t vanished. He should know your character.” Aveline forced a bitter smile. “If it were the Lucas before his memory returned, I’d be sure he wouldn’t suspect me. But now, I can’t be certain.” The real Lucas had an unpredictable nature, was naturally suspicious, and sometimes ruthlessly strategic. It was a side she had never seen, only heard about through his experiences. She hadn’t been fully part of his life story. +15 BONUS Aaron, as his friend, knew much more about Lucas. If he said such things, there must be some truth to it. Selena hugged her. “Ave, it won’t happen. It definitely won’t.” Aveline closed her eyes, resting briefly in Selena’s embrace. After a while, Selena said, “Come on, let’s get some breakfast. If you want to wait for him to wake up, you need to have strength, right?” Aveline wanted to refuse, but she realized that if she collapsed, she wouldn’t be able to see him wake up. She nodded. “Alright.” Selena breathed a sigh of relief. They left the hospital together and grabbed a quick bite nearby. When they returned, the hospital room door was open. Sharon walked out from inside. When she saw them, a cold smile immediately appeared on her face. “Ha! Serves you right. So, what if you’re Lucas‘ wife? Right now, it’s Sophia taking care of him inside. She’s the one the Tudor family recognizes as their daughter–in–law. You’re nothing!” She still felt the sting from Aveline’s slap, and she was definitely holding a grudge. She would get her revenge for that! Selena responded, “A mistress acting so arrogant. The world is really going downhill!” Sharon’s face darkened. “You know well who the real mistress is!” Selena wanted to say more, but Aveline stopped her. “It’s pointless,” she said calmly. Selena was emotional and had lost her cool. Indeed, arguing with +18 BONUS She linked arms with Aveline and headed towards the room, Sharon, however, extended her hand to block them. “Mr. Frederick said you can’t go in!” She raised her chin proudly. Selena finally couldn’t hold back. “Are you a dog? The Tudor family tells you to guard the door, and you do it. If you’re so obedient, shouldn’t you have a leash around your neck?” “You!” Sharon’s face twisted in anger, and she was about to retort when a commotion erupted from inside the room. “Lucas, you’re awake?” BIG SALE: 3500 bonus free fou you COMMENTS
Chapter 156 As soon as he finished speaking, Frederick started coughing violently. Yvonne quickly moved to help him catch his breath.” Honey, don’t get so worked up. We still don’t know all the details. Let’s wait for the investigation.” Aveline just stared at Lucas lying on the hospital bed. However, bodyguards had already come in and dragged her out of the room. The door shut in front of her. “Ave!” Selena, having taken Aaron back, entered and immediately saw Aveline being forced out. She felt an overwhelming surge of pity. Aveline said, “I’m fine.” Selena hugged her, distressed. “I’ll stay here and wait with you.” Aveline shook her head. “No need, you should go back. Aaron is hard to deal with, and if you make him unhappy, you’ll suffer.” Selena pursed her lips. “It’s fine. He’s not a child. He won’t die without me.” Aveline gave a helpless smile. “Be good, alright?” Selena’s eyes reddened. “Ave, I want to stay with you.” Aveline said, “He hasn’t woken up yet. There’s nothing we can do now. I won’t let anything happen to me. Go ahead. If I need anything, I’ll call you.” Seeing this, Selena didn’t insist further. “You must call me if you need anything.” +15 BONUS gaze fell back on the door of the hospital room, filled with uncontrollable worry and anxiety. She didn’t even realize her hands were trembling slightly. At that moment, a commotion of footsteps approached. “Get out of my way!” Before she could react, a force shoved her aside, causing her to slam against the wall. Sharon glared at her with hatred. “It must be you, this venomous woman, who poisoned Lucas because he refused to divorce you!” Sophia interjected, “Sharon, stop it. Let’s check on Lucas first.” Her face was still pale, but it was full of worry. Sharon looked at Aveline and sneered. “When Lucas wakes up, he’ll make you pay!” With that, she and Sophia entered the room. Aveline leaned against the wall, her face gradually losing all color. She suddenly remembered the look in Lucas‘ eyes before he lost consciousness. Cold, piercing, filled with murderous intent! His gaze clearly accused her of poisoning him! A sharp pain struck Aveline’s heart. How could he think that? How could he look at her like that? How could she possibly poison him? Aveline felt a chill run through her body, as if she had fallen into an ice cave. She leaned against the wall, fearing that without its support, she would collapse. The night passed slowly. Lucas did not wake up. No one came out of the room, and the results of the food tests were still pending. The night was an ordeal for everyone. When Aaron appeared again, he was stacled by how pale Aveline’s fare was, as white as a ghost. “You’ve been standing here all nig?” Avelline didn’t respond, her bloodshot eyes fixed on the hospital. Aason frowned as he looked at her for a moment, then suddenly said, “I did suspect you of poisoning him before.” Ameline’s expression froze. She turned to him. “And now?” Aaron replied, “I still suspect you, but I’m starting to have doubts.” Aveline took a deep breath, feeling a sharp pain in her chest again. I didn’t poison him,” she said hoarsely Aaron asked, “How will you prove it? Aveline, if you can’t find evidence to prove your innocence, he’ll hate you forever.”
Chapter 155 Aveline lowered her gaze slightly, feeling a wave of unease. Yvonne’s immediate accusation implied that she might be the one who poisoned Lucas. Recalling Yvonne’s past behavior, Aveline felt an inexplicable chill rise from her heart and spread throughout her body. “Hey, what are you doing?” Aaron’s voice interrupted her thoughts. Aveline looked up to see Selena releasing Aaron and walking toward her. Selena took Aveline’s hand, looking concerned. “Ave, everything will be alright.” Despite always criticizing Lucas, Selena knew that Aveline loved him deeply. Even now, determined as she was to get a divorce, it was hard to believe she could stop loving someone she had once loved so passionately. It was all just a façade. “Selena!” Aaron’s annoyed voice came through. “Do you not realize I’m dizzy? Do you want to see me fall and get hurt?” Selena turned to him. “If you know you’re dizzy, why aren’t you staying in your hospital room?” Aaron, frustrated, cradled his head in his hands. Aveline turned to Selena and said, “Don’t act like that. The faster he recovers, the sooner you’ll be free.” Selena bit her lip and suddenly said to Aaron, “Wait here.” Then she turned and walked away. Aaron frowned. “Where are you going?” Selena didn’t answer and quickly left. Aaron looked at Aveline. “Your friend seems a bit unreliable.” Aveline responded, “Maybe you should hire a nurse. If you don’t 173 +15 BONUS trust her, what if she hurts you while taking care of you?” Aaron smiled. “No need. She’s fine. If she hurts me, she’ll have to keep taking care of me.” Aveline fell silent. Five minutes later, Selena reappeared, this time pushing a wheelchair. She brought it right behind Aaron. “Come on, sit,” she said. Aaron looked at the wheelchair and then at Selena’s face. “My legs aren’t broken.” Selena blinked. “Aren’t you dizzy? Sitting in this will help. Besides, your legs aren’t broken now, but who knows, they might be someday. You can get used to it early.” Aaron fell silent. His head started hurting again! Their conversation broke the oppressive atmosphere at the emergency room door. After about two hours, the door to the emergency room opened. A hospital bed was pushed out, with Lucas lying on it. His face was pale, his lips devoid of any color, and an oxygen mask was strapped to his face. He was still unconscious. “Doctor, how is my son?” Frederick immediately asked when he saw the scene. The doctor replied, “The toxins are under control, but it will take some time to fully detoxify. For now, he seems to be out of danger.” Frederick let out a sigh of relief. “That’s good. Lucas was now his only son. This son must not face any more incidents. In the VIP hospital room, everyone kept a close watch on Lucas.

Tonight’s events must have scared you.” Frederick frowned and looked at Aveline, suddenly saying, “Get out. She’s not allowed in here!” Yvonne was taken aback. “Honey, what are you doing? Aveline is Lucas’s wife.” Frederick’s expression darkened. “If it wasn’t for her, how could Lucas be poisoned? I suspect she’s the one who did it! Not having her arrested for questioning is already lenient on my part, considering Lucas. If the investigation proves she poisoned him, I won’t let her get away with it!” BIG SALE 3500 bonus tree fou you
