Russell, whose eyes usually held a carefree smile, now stared at Aveline with serious intent.

Previously, his demeanor was relaxed and casual, often appearing before Aveline with various hair colors.

Aveline suddenly realized he seemed to have dyed his hair back to black, as it had been a long time since she’d seen him with any other color.

She gave a small smile. “Yeah, I understand.”

Russell reached out, lightly tousling her hair, a playful glint in his eyes. “Get some rest. I’ll visit you again soon.”

“Okay.”

Aveline nodded, watching him leave.

Selena, after seeing him out, returned with an excited expression.

“My God! What was that? Was that a confession? A hint? Was it?”

Selena pounced beside Aveline, asking excitedly.

Aveline shook her head. “I don’t know.”

Selena looked at her. “When Russell said those words to you, didn’t your heart flutter for a moment? Like there were butterflies in your stomach?”

Aveline looked at her helplessly. “At a time like this, you’re still thinking about that?”

Selena blinked. “When else should I think about it? Otherwise, it would be so boring.”

Aveline was exasperated but did not answer her question.

How could she not understand Russell’s intentions?

But she couldn’t respond.

After a failed relationship, she had no desire to think about such things.

All she wanted was to divorce Lucas as soon as possible and then leave Cloudflare City to live the life

she wanted.

It was as simple as that.

The Tudor family’s suppression of DK Enterprises grew even fiercer.

Frederick had been waiting for Lucas to beg for mercy, yet as DK Enterprises faced the verge of bankruptcy with hardly any orders, Lucas showed no signs of bowing.

He was such a tough nut!

Frederick directly had the Tudor family take over at DK Enterprises, overseeing a shareholders‘ meeting that ousted Lucas from the presidency.

The situation at DK Enterprises drastically changed, and Lucas was completely removed from the board!

When Aveline heard this news, she also received notification of the court date.

A month later, Aveline was working out at home, with Selena accompanying her. Selena excitedly described how miserable Lucas was now without the support of the Tudor family and his role as president of DK Enterprises, having become just an ordinary person.

A layer of sweat formed on Aveline’s forehead as she exhaled deeply and said, “Don’t forget, even as an ordinary person, he’s still worth several hundred million.”

Selena was speechless.

It felt like a massive blow!

Despite everything, how could he still be so wealthy!

Aveline sat on the sofa, sipping water from a cup when the doorbell rang.

Selena wondered, “Who could that be? Could it be Russell?”

She eagerly went to open the door, but her expression turned cold the moment she saw who was standing there.

“What are you doing here?”

It was Lucas. He pushed past Selena and walked in, even carrying a suitcase.

“Hey, did I let you in? Do you have any manners?” Selena said with displeasure.

Lucas responded, “I’m coming to my wife’s house, why should I need your permission?”

Selena immediately looked to Aveline/ “Ave, look at him!”

Aveline asked, “What are you doing here?”

Lucas approached her, leaning in, and said, “I’ve already told you that if you insist on going through with the divorce, you’ll have to face the consequences yourself.” Original from NôvelDrama.Org.
