Aveline was thoroughly annoyed.
She didn't understand.
Why was he calling her?
What was there to say?
His attitude had been clear-he was firmly on Sophia's side. So why was he still bothering her?
Did he really want to be a complete jerk?
But she had no patience to play his games!
Aveline simply turned off her phone and went to sleep.
She thought she would have trouble sleeping.
But with her mind occupied with other things, she hardly thought of Lucas.
She had a restful night.
In Cloudflare City.
At the Tudor mansion.
Lucas listened to the cold, unyielding tone of the phone's automated message, and in a fit of rage, smashed his phone!
He was enveloped in an aura of extreme coldness.
Aveline had actually run away!
She had a lot of nerve!
Did she think this would free her from everything?
What wishful thinking!
Lucas took a moment to calm himself, then sent a message to Maria. "Find out where Aveline is now."
Maria replied, "Tomorrow. I'm tired."
Lucas demanded, "Do it now!"

Lucas demanded, "Do it now!"
Maria texted, "You're so fierce! No girl will ever like you like this."
As if afraid of Lucas' anger, Maria sent Aveline's location right after her cheeky message.
For Maria, tracking someone's location was incredibly easy. Unless the person had disappeared into a dense forest, she could find them anywhere!
Lucas opened the map and looked at the marked location, his eyes narrowing.
The next day.
Desmond placed a file on Lucas' desk and said, "Mr. Tudor, these are all the project details for developing Arthur Town. Arthur Town has been quite impoverished and backward, but its natural resources are abundant.
"Developing it into a tourist area could boost the economy. The local leaders are very keen on this reform and have strongly invited you to visit the site personally."

By securing this project, DK Group would become the largest investor in the development of Arthur Town. This would bring a series of policy benefits.
For Lucas, who had just returned to DK Group, this would be a significant achievement. Successfully executing this project would further solidify his position as the future heir of the Tudor family. Desmond quickly arranged everything for the trip to Arthur Town. By the time they were ready to depart, it was already afternoon.
In the morning, Aveline went out for breakfast and then took a leisurely stroll down
the street.
She wasn't in a hurry to return to the orphanage.
It had been many years since she last visited, and she felt uncertain about how to face the director. She wondered if the director had been well over these past few
years.
Lost in thought, she was startled by a familiar voice.
"Aveline?"
The voice carried a hint of hesitation and uncertainty, as if the speaker couldn't quite believe it was her.
Aveline turned and saw a young man in a black hoodie and pants standing beside her, his handsome face lighting up with surprise.
"It's really you! When did you get back?"
