"I'm not going!" Aveline said, not even glancing at Desmond as she stepped into the elevator.
Desmond felt a headache coming on.
Weren't things fine last night?
How did they end up like this after just one night?
He quickly followed her into the elevator, trying to salvage the situation. "Miss Young, if there's any misunderstanding, I think it would be best for you to clear it up with Mr. Tudor in person. After all..." Aveline gave him a cold look. "Get out."
Desmond fell silent.
He wanted to tell her that refusing to communicate with each other wouldn't solve anything!
But Aveline's icy gaze made Desmond feel a heavy, invisible pressure, as if Lucas himself were standing in front of him.
Not daring to linger, he hurried out of the elevator, watching the doors slowly close. He sighed helplessly and took another elevator to the CEO's office.
He knocked on the office door, and after hearing a response from inside, took a deep breath and walked in. "Mr. Tudor, Miss Young has packed up and left."
"Bang!"
Lucas slammed the file he was holding onto the desk, and the atmosphere in the office grew cold and oppressive.
He pulled out his phone and called Aveline, but she hung up on him!
How dare she!
It was her own fault for not listening to him and insisting on attending the dinner, or none of this would have happened. Yet she had the audacity to give him the cold shoulder and even curse at him! Fury burned in his chest, and his expression turned even colder. "Tell her if she doesn't come back, she'll never get a divorce in this lifetime!"

Desmond was speechless.
His mouth twitched slightly.
He felt that Aveline might not care about that anymore.
But seeing Lucas in a fit of rage, Desmond dared not speak his mind. Instead, he dialed Aveline's number in front of Lucas.
This time, Aveline answered.
"You'd better have a good reason," she said coldly, her tone chilling even over the phone.
Desmond keenly sensed Lucas's gaze growing even colder as it fell on him. He forced himself to continue, "Miss Young, Mr. Tudor said " if you don't come back, you'll > never get a divorce."
"Whatever!" Aveline spat out, then promptly hung up the phone.
"Bang!"
Before Desmond could say anything more, Lucas stood up in fury, kicking over aThis text is property of NĂ´/velD/rama.Org.
chair!
He was seething with rage, like an enraged lion!
She didn't care about anything anymore, not even divorce!
Ha!
Fine!
Very well!
Desmond didn't dare to make a sound or leave. He could only stand by the door,- waiting for further instructions.
"Get out," Lucas growled, and Desmond hurriedly fled the room as fast as he could.
Lucas yanked at his tie, feeling incredibly agitated. The thought of Aveline's indifferent attitude made him want to grab her and demand answers!
Aveline was unaware of Lucas' current state, and even if she knew, she wouldn't
care.
She carried her things and went back to Maple Garden. Looking at the beautiful apartment, she pressed her lips together slightly before dialing Russell's number.
"Hello?"
Aveline said, "Russ, are you still interested in buying the Maple Garden property?"
Russell's voice was slightly nasal and lazy, clearly just waking up. "Have you made up your mind?"
"Yes," Aveline replied.
She had made up her mind a long time ago.
Never had she felt so clear-headed as she did now.
It wasn't just the Maple Garden property; she wo
sell her other property as well!
