Chapter 115 Aveline turned to Sophia. “Miss Winter, do you really believe this jerk the can’t even protect you and needs to use une as a cover. Don’t you find that ridi ridicul Unfortunately, she had overheard the entire conversation She was speechless after hearing Lucas‘ shameless words. He really did love Sophial Loved her enough to drag an innocent person like her into this mess. All her hears, her nightmares in the fiddle of the night, they were all If he didn’t want her to have peace, then no one would have peace! After all, she was alone and had nothing to lose, but may could take them down with her! A wave of bi ess grow in Aveline’s heart, and she began to resent Sophia’s gase turned cold. “Miss Young, if you don’t know the whole story, don’t speak carelessly. The Tudor family might seem glamorous, but bucas has had a tough time these past years. I can’t help him much, but hope you won’t make things harder for him divorced!” Aveline sneered. “Afraid I’ll cause trouble? Then get dive In the past, she felt guilty for holding onto Lucas, thinking she owed Sophia because she had saved Lucas and lost a leg. She felt it was. But now, she was willing to divor The one refusing to divorce was Ettas! Aveline didn’t owe them anything! She walked closer, her beautiful, clear eyes looking at them. “You’re so in love, isn’t it a shame not to be together? Divorce me now, and I promise you’ll never see me again. How about that?” She looked at Lucas. Seeing his face darken, she smiled, “What? Won’t do it? Lucas, are you protecting Miss Winter or can’t bear to let me go?” “Have you had enough, Aveline?” Lucas‘ voice was cold, barely suppressing his anger. He pulled Sophia to his side, then grabbed Aveline’s wrist and dragged her outside. “Sophia, I’ll have someone take you home,” he said without looking back at her. Aveline struggled. “Let go of me! You’re disgusting!” He had just hugged Sophia and made promises to her, and now he was dragging her around. What was the meaning of this? Lucas opened the car door and shoved her into the passenger seat, trapping her between the seat and himself. His eyes bore into hers. Disgusting, am I?” Aveline felt the pressure emanating from him, his cold aural enveloping her, seeping into her bones, making her heart sink. “Lucas, what’s the point of this?” “What do you understand?” His voice was low and hoarse, a hint of redness flashing in his eyes. He gripped her shoulders. “Aveline, behave. Don’t do things that will upset me, or no one will be happy.” His demeanor suddenly turned sinister, with turbulent emotions in his eyes that Aveline couldn’t decipher. Aveline broke free from his grasp. I don’t understand. Of course, I don’t understand. I don’t understand why, if you love Sophia, you won’t divorce me. I don’t understand why you keep bullying me! Lucas, I don’t owe you anything. Why do you keep bullying me?” She was almost shouting, her suppressed emotions bursting out; and tears streaming uncontrollably down her face. Just because she had been kind enough to take him in, did she deserve all this? If so, she had made a terrible mistake! BIG SALE 3500 bonus frem for you +15 BONUT Chapter 116

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 114 Aveline turned to Barbara. “Grandma, he’s bullying me again. Without hesitation, Barbara raised her hand and smacked Lucas, not holding back at all. Lucas fell silent. His face was expressionless, but his gaze was so intense it seemed like he wanted to burn a hole through Aveline. Barbara scolded, “Lucas, it seems you never learn. If you keep bullying your wife, I’ll tell her to leave you!” Lucas closed his eyes, suppressing his emotions. Aveline smiled smugly and then turned to Barbara. “Grandma, are you tired? Do you want to rest?” Barbara shook her head. “I’m not tired. I still want to play.” But as she said this, she yawned. Seeing this, Aveline immediately said, “Let’s go to your room and play. I’ll tell you a story.” “Okay,” Barbara agreed eagerly at the mention of a story. Aveline walked over, nudged Lucas aside, and pushed the wheelchair towards the small building. Lucas stared at her back, his eyes dark and brooding. “Lucas.” Sophia’s voice was soft and muffled as she approached. Lucas turned and saw her red, tear–streaked eyes. “What’s wrong?” Ba Sophia forced a bitter smile. “Nothing. I just didn’t expect Madam see me as a servant. I understand she’s sick and doesn’t remember me, but what about Miss Young? Does she also see me as +15 BONUS a servant of the Tudor family? We knew each other first. If it weren’t for that car accident, we would be married by now…” As she spoke, her emotions grew more intense, and tears fell again, making her look pale and fragile, evoking sympathy. Lucas‘ sharp eyebrows furrowed slightly. “Sophia, she doesn’t see you that way.” Sophia looked at him. “You don’t know her, so how do you know she doesn’t think that way? Or is it that you know her very well and care about her a lot?” She paused and took a step back. “Lucas, you promised me you would divorce her. But what are you doing now? If you’ve fallen in love with her, just tell me. I won’t interfere in your life. As for my leg, you don’t need to worry about it. I chose to save you, and I never expected anything in return.” Lucas‘ frown deepened. “Sophia, don’t overthink it. Now isn’t the right time.” Tears welled up in Sophia’s eyes. “Then when will it be the right time? She already sees me as a servant of the Tudor family. Will more people think this way about me in the future?” Lucas‘ eyes grew colder, but his tone remained gentle. “She doesn’t, and she wouldn’t dare think that. Her purpose is to protect you. Sophia hesitated, her expression showing uncertainty. “Really?” “Yes,” Lucas affirmed. His handsome, stern face remained calm and detached, revealing no other emotions. “I just returned to the Tudor family, and many eyes are on me. Keeping a distance from me is the safest thing for you.” Sophia broke into a smile, throwing herself into his arms. “Lucas, I knew it! I knew you cared about me. I’m sorry for misunderstanding you.” +15 BONUS Lucas‘ body stiffened, and he instinctively pushed her away. “I need to check on Grandma.” Turning around, he saw Aveline standing not far away, her gaze cold and clear. Aveline clapped her hands slowly. “How touching, how deep. I’m almost moved to tears. But Lucas, can you stop being such a jerk? Can you keep your beautiful love story without using me as a stepping stone? It’s really disgusting.”
Chapter 113 “My granddaughter–in–law!” Barbara seemed to remember Aveline, reaching out to her joyfully Where did you go? Did you not want to play with me anymore?” Aveline walked over and took her hand. “No, we agreed before. I would hide, and you would teach him a lesson.” Barbara was momentarily confused but then nodded. “Yes, yes Lucas bullied you, so I taught him a lesson.” Lucas’s dark gaze fixed on Aveline. “Did you come here to complain to Grandma? Aveline raised an eyebrow. “So, what if I did? Lucas‘ expression darkened further. Barbara didn’t hesitate to smack him again. “I just told you, and you’ve already forgotten? Why are you glaring at your wife?” Lucas fell silent. Aveline turned to Barbara. “Grandma, you’re so good to me. Barbara laughed cheerfully. “I like you, so of course I’m good to you Try this, our housekeeper made these new snacks. They’re delicious She picked up a piece and held it to Aveline’s lips. Aveline paused for a moment, glancing at Sophia. As expected, Sophia’s face had paled. Aveline accepted the snack. “Thank you, Grandma.” “Eat, eat! If you like it, I’ll have her make more for you. Don’t worry, I’ll make sure she gets a raise for it!” +15 BONUS Barbara looked at Aveline proudly. Aveline felt a mix of emotions as she took a bite of the snack and nodded. “It is really good.” Barbara turned to Sophia with a smile. “My granddaughter–in–law likes it too. You’ll have to make these often.” Sophia could barely maintain her smile. “Of course, I will.” How infuriating! She had worked hard to please Barbara with her snacks, only to be treated like a servant! “Grandma, she’s not a servant,” Lucas said. Barbara blinked. “Then who is she?” Aveline also looked at Lucas, her eyes clear but laced with subtle sarcasm. How should he introduce Sophia’s identity? If he had known it would come to this, why had he dragged his feet about divorcing Aveline? If they had divorced sooner, Sophia’s. position would have been legitimate by now. Aveline thought, “Lucas, the awkward situation Miss Winter is in now, is all your doing.” Lucas seemed to understand her thoughts. His voice was low and calm as he said, “Grandma, she’s my friend. You don’t remember, but two years ago, she saved my life. If it weren’t for her, I might not be here.” Barbara looked enlightened. “Oh, right, she saved you. So, she became a servant in our house after that?” Both Lucas and Sophia were speechless. Even Aveline’s lips twitched slightly. +15 BONUS Barbara took Sophia’s hand. “You’re a kind girl. You saved him, and. I’m very grateful. Don’t worry, I’ll make sure he gives you a raise.” Sophia kept quiet for a while before she pulled her hand back, forcing a smile. “I… I suddenly don’t feel well. I need to go to the restroom.” Lucas frowned. “Are you okay? Do you need to go to the hospital?” Sophia shook her head. “No need.” She quickly walked towards the restroom. Barbara continued to insist that Lucas give Sophia a raise. Lucas‘ eyes were fixed on Aveline. “If you have a problem with me, take it up with me. Why involve Grandma?” Aveline met his gaze with calm defiance. “Maybe because I knew it would get your attention.” BIG SALE: 3500 bonus free fou you
Chapter 112 Lucas didn’t understand why his grandmother suddenly brought up this issue, but he could only endure it silently. “I understand, Grandma. I’ll treat my wife well.” Barbara huffed. “That’s more like it.” With that, she released Lucas‘ ear, which was already red from being twisted. Aveline, hiding behind a nearby bush, saw this scene and pressed her lips together. At first, she was pleased. But her mood quickly turned somber. After all, Barbara was Lucas‘ grandmother. Even if she scolded him, she wouldn’t let anything really happen to him. The things she said. -Aveline didn’t believe them, and she doubted Lucas did either. Forget it. There was no point. Just as Aveline was about to turn and leave, a gentle voice called out, “Madam Barbara.” Aveline’s body stiffened. She turned and saw Sophia walking in from the entrance. She wore a beige long dress that reached her ankles, but her prosthetic leg was still noticeable. Her hair was draped over her shoulders, her light makeup was elegant, and she looked gentle and graceful. Barbara looked at her. “Who are you?” Sophia opened the lid of the snack container she was holding and offered it to her. “Madam Babara, it’s me, Sophia.” Barbara’s attention shifted to the spacks. “Oh, it’s you She took a piece and started eating Sophia said. “Madam Babara, you still like these snodes. Tused to make them for you often.” Barbora smiled as she are “Really? Are you the good at making stocks? Will you make them for me again. Sophia nodded. “If you like them, I’ll make them for you ofte Barbara beamed. “I like them very much. I especially like them Sophia’s smile deepened.. Sophia looked at Lucas “What a coincidence, I didn’t expect you to be here too.” Lucas asked, “Do you come here often? Sophia replied, “Yes, Madam Babara must feel lonely here by herself. Since you’re busy, I thought I’d visit her often. Most of the time, though, she’s asleep when I come. Today is a lucky day, she’s awake.” Lucas responded with a noncommittal sound, his gare returning to Barbara’s face. She had crumbs around her mouth from the snacks Sophia gently wiped them away with a tissue. “Madam Babara, do you remember two years ago when you said you wanted Lucas and me to have a big, chubby great–grandchild for you?” Barbara held her snack, looking as if she was trying to recall. After a moment, she shook her head. “I don’t remember. But you can’t have a child with Lucas. He already has a wife.” Sophia’s smile froze.” Madam Babara, I…” IS BONUS “Stop, Sophia,” Lucas interrupted her. “Grandma’s memory isn’t good. Don’t push it.” Sophia bit back her frustration but managed to hold her tongue. “I guess I was too eager.” Suddenly, Barbara grabbed her hand. “Your snacks are delicious, and I like you too.” Sophia’s smile returned. “Then I’ll spend more time with you, alright?” “Yes, yes!” Barbara clapped her hands happily. Lucas pushed the wheelchair while Sophia walked beside him, and they strolled through the garden, creating a picture of peaceful, happy times. From the bushes, Aveline watched with a blank expression. She felt like she was making a fool of herself. It was her own fault for putting herself in this situation. But seeing Lucas treat her so poorly, how could she just leave it be? A flicker of determination shone in Aveline’s beautiful eyes, and she stepped out. “Grandma.” At her voice, all three turned to look at her.
Chapter 111 Barbara’s face instantly showed anger, her wrinkled features hardening. “That brat! I’ve told him before that a wife should be cherished, not bullied. He dares to bully you? I’ll call him right now!” She reached for her phone, which she always wore around her neck. It was an old–fashioned button phone with speed dial, and she quickly called Lucas. “Grandma.” Lucas’s warm, magnetic voice came through the phone. Barbara glanced at Aveline, who put a finger to her lips, signaling her not to mention her presence. “Where are you, Lucas?” Lucas replied, “I’m at home. Do you miss me, Grandma?” Barbara huffed. “I miss you? Do you miss me? When was the last time you visited me?” Lucas said, “I’ve been a bit busy lately. I’ll come over right now.” Barbara responded, “Good, I’ll be waiting!” She hung up and smiled at Aveline. “Just wait, I will get revenge for you!” Aveline hugged Barbara. “Grandma, why are you so good to me?” Though they had never met before, but after their first encounter, Barbara had taken to her instantly, always smiling and treating her warmly. For Aveline, who had never experienced familial love, this was a magical feeling. It felt like Barbara was her biological grandmother, not Lucas‘. Barbara hugged her back. “Because I like you the best!” +15 BONUS Aveline’s heart softened, and she suddenly felt a pang of guilt for using Barbara to get back at Lucas. Maybe this wasn’t the right thing to do. They wandered in the garden for a while, and as the time for Lucas‘ arrival approached, Aveline said, “Grandma, when he comes, please don’t tell him I’m here. I’ll hide.” Barbara asked, “Why?” Aveline said, “Otherwise, he’ll think I complained about him and bully me even more when we get home!” Barbara immediately became serious. “I won’t say a word, I promise! Aveline smiled and said, “Okay, I’ll hide now.” “Alright, go ahead,” Barbara replied. Her eyes sparkled as she watched Aveline hide, looking a bit excited but not forgetting her mission–to teach her grandson a lesson. How could Lucas bully his wife? This was unacceptable, he needed to be disciplined! When Lucas arrived, he saw Barbara sitting in her wheelchair with at blanket over her legs, enjoying the sun. His expression darkened slightly as he quickly approached and asked, “Grandma, is no one here with you?” Barbara smiled warmly at him. “My dear grandson, come here and kneel down.” Though puzzled, Lucas knelt down and asked, “Grandma, what’s wrong?” The next moment, Barbara’s smile vanished. She raised her hand and smacked him on the head. +15 BONUS Lucas was stunned. “Grandma?” Barbara grabbed his ear and twisted. “Tell me, have you been bullying your wife?” Lucas’s usually handsome face twisted in pain, but he didn’t dare struggle. “No, Grandma, I haven’t bullied her.” Barbara twisted his ear harder. “If you haven’t bullied her, why hasn’t she come to visit me? How many times have I told you that you should cherish your wife? If you don’t, someone else will, and then she’ll leave you!” BIG SALE: 3500 bonus free fou you
Chapter 110 Aveline’s face immediately darkened. It seemed Selena had been right. She had been forced to come back for overtime because of Lucas. Desmond tried to ignore her icy glare and handed her the file. “Miss Young, the data in this document is incorrect. Please recheck it.” Aveline snatched the file, saying coldly, “If there’s nothing wrong with this data, I won’t forgive you.” Desmond was speechless. He felt completely at a loss. “Miss Young, it was Mr. Tudor’s order, not mine,” Desmond quickly explained, trying to distance himself from the situation. Aveline looked at him with disdain. “Is there any difference between you and him?” Desmond kept quiet. He returned to the CEO’s office, feeling like the sky was falling It was really tough being an assistant to the CEO! He took out his phone and sent a message to Brian on WhatsApp. ” Are you interested in becoming an assistant?” Brian replied, “No, I’m just a bodyguard.” Desmond texted, “Maybe you should consider it.” Brian rejected firmly. “No.” Desmond kept quiet. Brian continued, “I know you’re trying to drag me into this mess. Don’t even think about it.” Desmond continued to stay quiet. Aveline opened the file and carefully began to check the data. After she finished, a cold smile appeared on her face. She took the file and headed straight to the CEO’s office. But Lucas had already left. Damn it! Bastard! Aveline’s face twisted in anger, and she slammed the file against the door, making a loud noise. She took out her phone and called Desmond. He declined the call. Ha! Fine! Aveline called again, and he continued to decline. Finally, she sent a message directly. “If you don’t pick up your phone now, you won’t hear from me ever again!” Soon after, her phone rang. “Miss Young? Did you finish checking the data?” Desmond’s voice. had a hint of forced politeness. Aveline asked, “Where are you?” Desmond replied, “Ah, I finished my work and left. Sorry, I forgot to inform you.” Aveline demanded, “Put Laicas on the phone,” Desmond glanced at the stern man sitting in the backseat, swallowed hard, and said, “Um, I’m not with Mr. Tudor right now. Why don’t you call him directly?” Aveline’s temple throbbed with anger. She had blocked Lucas! Calling him meant she would have to remove him from the blacklist! How annoying! Aveline asked, “Then please ask Mr. Tudor how he plans to handle. this since there’s nothing wrong with the data.” Desmond replied, “Oh, Mr. Tudor said he made a mistake.” Aveline retorted, “You’ve got to be kidding me…” Before she could finish cursing, Desmond hung up the phone. Aveline was so angry she could hardly breathe. How had she not realized before how infuriating Lucas could be? One moment Desmond claimed they weren’t together, and the next, he relayed Lucas‘ message. Ha! Did Lucas think she would … Read More “Divorced 110” »
Chapter 109 “Mr. Skyler, how do you like this outfit?” Aveline asked, stepping back as Russell took a photo. Russell smiled, his handsome face carrying a hint of mischief. “It’s great.” “Then let’s go with this one,” Aveline said, pulling out her card to pay. Russell didn’t stop her, his eyes lingering on her with a mysterious glint.. Just as the payment was processed, Aveline’s phone rang. It was a call from her department manager, Glen Lane. “Hello? Mr. Lane,” she answered. Glen’s voice sounded a bit strange. “Miss Young, are you busy right now? There’s a data set that doesn’t seem right. Can you come back. and check it? It’s important for the project.” Aveline frowned. “Is it the data I worked on?” Glen replied, “Yes, it is.” Aveline was puzzled. She had double–checked all the data before leaving work yesterday. How could there be a mistake? “Alright, I’ll come back to take a look,” she agreed. Glen added, “Great, thank you. Don’t worry, you’ll be paid for the overtime.” Aveline thanked him and hung up. She turned to Russell and Selena. “I need to go back to work.” Selena said, “What kind of lousy company makes you work overtime on a Saturday? You should quit.” +15 BONUS Russell added, “I agree. Why not come work for me? Name your terms.” Selena perked up, giving Aveline a knowing look. Aveline pretended not to notice, smiling. “Thank you for the offer, Mr. Skyler, but I need to finish my current work first. I’ll consider other options once I’m done.” Russell said, “No problem. Take your time. You can call me anytime when you’re ready.” Aveline knew she needed to end the conversation before it got out of hand. “I should get going.” Selena said, “I’ll drive you. Mr. Skyler, do you need a ride somewhere?” Russell replied, “No, thanks. I have to visit a friend who lives nearby. Drive safely, you two.” “Alright, see you later.” “Goodbye.” Once they were in the car, Selena asked, “What’s going on?” Aveline sighed. “I just need to go back for some overtime.” Selena frowned slightly, “Why do I feel like this isn’t that simple?” Aveline looked at her. “What do you suspect now?” Selena replied, “I have a feeling this has something to do with that scumbag.” Aveline didn’t respond, just reached over and fastened her seatbelt. At DK Group. Glen was sweating nervously as he faced Desmond. “Mr. Blake, is Desmond sended sightly. No need to be so tense. Mr. Lane. Dreching’s fine now. You can go back to your day off.” Glen haurriedly replied, “Okay, thank you.” He left quickly, feeling puzzled. Desmond had called him in with a serious tone, insisting that Aveline had to come back. He thought there was a major issue with the project. But that was it? Glen left the company, still full of questions As soon as he walked out. Aveline arrived. She got out of the car and said to Selena, “No need to wait for me. I don’t know how long this will take Selena replied, “Alright, call me if you need anything.” “Okay.” Aveline closed the car door and watched Selena drive away before turning and entering the company. It was Saturday, and the large company was completely empty. As she stepped out of the elevator, she looked up and saw Desmond standing not far away. When he saw her, a professional smile appeared on his face.
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 +15 BONUS 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. +15 BONUS 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.
Chapter 107 Aveline paused, her expression thoughtful. “What do you mean?” Selena scoffed. “If that scumbag’s family cared about him, how could they not have found him after he disappeared for a year? They only found him after he regained his memory. Ave, this is the era of big data. Finding an adult isn’t that hard.” Aveline’s lips pressed together slightly. Selena continued, “Forget it, let’s not talk about him. It’s bad luck.” Finishing the last bite of her handmade pancake, Selena sighed contentedly. “These are so good. I could eat them every day.” Aveline smiled. “Sure, pay up.” Selena pouted. “You don’t love me anymore.” Aveline laughed. “I love you, but I can’t let that get in the way of business.” Selena was speechless. After arriving at the mall, they saw Russell already there a distance away. His striking blue hair and handsome, almost otherworldly face made him look like a character straight out of a comic book. He exuded a carefree and rebellious aura, his lips curled in a lazy smirk. Girls passing by couldn’t help but steal glances at him. “Mr. Skyler, have you been waiting long?” Aveline asked apol. tically as she and Selena approached him. Russell smiled. “No, I just got here. And this is?” Aveline introduced, “This is my good friend, Selena Quin.” Selera emended the band “Hello, M. Skyler” hussell strook de tand Sell, Miss Quin.

His style was cool and handsome, neither casual nor business. Mex wondering for a moment, Aveline turned to Selena. “What do How d Aveline kay “Mr. Soler is so handsome, he can pull off any style. ve him a more conservative look?” What old Meas were running through her head? Russell, with one hand in his pocket, looked at them lazily and mischievously. Selena continued, “Look, Mr. Skyler doesn’t mind. Let’s style him.” Aveline, feeling unsure, looked at Russell. “Is that alright?” Russell smiled. “Anything you choose is fine by me.” Selena immediately gave a knowing smile. Aveline felt a bit overwhelmed. They entered a men’s clothing store filled with business suits. Aveline looked around and picked out a white shirt and black suit, handing them to Russell. “Mr. Skyler, would you like to try this?” “Sure,” Russell took the clothes and headed to the fitting room. Selena crossed her arms. “Ave, has your taste become fixed?” “What do you mean?” Selena leaned in closer and lowered her voice. “Doesn’t that scumbag always dress like this?” Aveline was speechless.

Chapter 106 After dinner, Aveline cleaned the kitchen and then went to the guest bedroom to take a shower and sleep She had a good night’s sleep. The next day. When she came out of the guest bedroom, Lucas was already gone. Aveline stood in the living room, thinking it over. It seemed she needed to change the locks. At least next time, he wouldn’t be able to get in by calling the property manager. Determined, Aveline contacted a locksmith, and soon someone came to change the lock. This time, she installed a fingerprint and password lock. Only she and Selena knew the password. There was no way anyone else could get in now. After the locksmith left, she looked at the new lock with satisfaction. and then messaged Selena. “Sweetie, here’s the password for my door lock. Remember it.” Selena called her right away. “Upgrading to something high–tech, huh?” Aveline opened the door and walked in, laughing. “Now you won’t have to knock v n you come over. Isn’t that great?” “Great, great, up. na said lazily, sounding like she had just woken Aveline thought for a moment and asked, “Do you have time today?” Selena replied, “Yes, do you have plans? Aveline explained the situation. Selena suddenly sat up. “Russell Skyler? From the Skyler family in Cloudflare City? Are you serious?” Aveline said, “Yes, and he’s the one I insisted on drinking with the bar that night ” Selena drew in a sharp breath and then said, “I can’t believe it, he’s from the Skyler family.” Aveline was puzzled. “Is there something special about the Skyler family?” Selena replied, “Which wealthy family doesn’t have a story? Just look at that scumbag he’s full of stories, isn’t he?” Aveline’s tone was cold. “Let’s not talk about such unpleasant people on a good day, okay?” Selena laughed. “Alright, alright. I come over now and tell you the Skyler family’s story.” “Okay.” Aveline finished making breakfast just as Selena arrived. The two of them sat at the dining table.
