"Ave, stop drinking," Selena began, initially frightened, but now even more scared seeing Aveline in this state.

Aveline pushed her away. "If I don't finish these, what if he doesn't let us go?" She said, downing another glass.

Russell's nonchalant smile gradually faded, his gaze growing colder with a hint of interest. Hah! This woman had the audacity to snatch something from his hand earlier, and now she was utterly terrified. But fro "Enough!" Russell said impatiently.

But Aveline didn't stop. Out of eight glasses, she had already drunk five.

"I haven't finished yet. No way." Aveline shook her head, her vision now extremely blurry, yet she accurately picked up another glass and drank.

"I said, enough!" Russell suddenly stood up, grabbed her wrist, and snatched the glass from her hand, hurling it to the floor. The glass shattered into pieces instantly.

Aveline swayed on her feet. Selena quickly held her up. "Ave, you don't need to drink anymore. It's okay. We can leave now."

Aveline blinked, her eyes stinging with tears, her mind repeatedly flashing images of Lucas holding Sophia.

"How can it be okay? I haven't finished yet..." she muttered, still reaching for more drinks.

Russell was both angry and amused. Was this woman crazy?

Coming to his place and getting drunk?

He firmly gripped her wrist. "Do you have a death wish?"

Aveline's fingers trembled, and a tear fell, landing directly on Russell's hand.

"How can it be over? We haven't gotten a divorce yet. As long as we're still married, you can't do anything to betray me," she murmured, her tears falling more intensely with each word. Russell was taken aback and abruptly let go, staring at the tears. on his hand, utterly baffled.

He looked at Selena. "Get her out of here! Who comes to my place to cry?"

Selena, frightened by Aveline's state, urged, "Ave, don't do this. Let's get out of here.": owner of this content.

But Aveline pushed her away. "We're not divorced yet! How can you be with another woman? We're not divorced yet! How can you do this?"

Selena realized that Lucas had broken Aveline's heart. She cursed Lucas a thousand times in her mind and went to support Aveline again. "Ave, we don't need him. It's not worth being sad over a jerk like him. L Aveline's face was now covered in tears. "How can you treat me like this? What did I do wrong? I just saved you! You want to repay her kindness, but what about mine? Why won't you repay me?"

Russell initially wanted to leave, but seeing Aveline like this made him feel irritated. Suddenly, he stepped forward, grabbed her hand, and started walking in a direction.

"Hey, what are you doing?" Selena hurried after him.

Russell's tongue pressed against his cheek as he spoke, "If she keeps causing a scene here and affects my business, are you

going to pay for it?"

Selena was stunned and fell silent but continued to follow, remaining vigilant.

Suddenly, someone swiftly moved past Selena and, in the blink of an eye, grabbed Aveline away from Russell!

Selena was surprised. "What are you doing here?"

Russell's hand was left empty all of a sudden. He turned to face a pair of cold, murderous eyes.
