"Let's go," Lucas said as he stood up, blocking her view.

Aveline looked at him. "Huh?"

Lucas looked down at her. "Aren't we going to the lawyer's office?: owner of this content.

Aveline lowered her eyes and didn't say anything. She got up and followed him out of the Tudor residence.

As she glanced back at the expansive and luxurious villa, she couldn't help but say, "What a shame, I won't be able to come here anymore."

She did like this place.

"You can still come," Lucas suddenly said.

Aveline looked at him, meeting his dark, intense eyes. She smiled and replied, "No thanks. It would be awkward if I ran into you and Miss Winter getting cozy.

Lucas's brow furrowed, and his demeanor grew colder.

He stopped looking at her and got into the car.

Aveline took the front passenger seat, but the driver didn't start the car.

She blinked in confusion. "What's the hold-up? Let's go."

The driver was sweating nervously. "Could you please sit in the back?"

Aveline turned to look at Lucas. Sure enough, he looked even more displeased than before. She found it amusing. "You told me

to sit in the front before, and now you don't want me to. Why are you so fickle after regaining your memory?"

Lucas just stared at her coldly.

Without his command, the driver didn't dare to start the car.

Aveline rolled her eyes and moved to the back seat. "You're really hard to please. Good thing we're getting divorced."

Otherwise, living with him would be such a headache.

Her words made the car's atmosphere even more tense. The driver glanced nervously in the rearview mirror before finally starting the car. Aveline took out her phone and noticed it was off. When she turned it on, countless messages flooded in, taking a while to stop.

Most of the messages were from Selena, so she called her right

away.

"Ave, where are you? Are you safe? If you've been kidnapped, just cough once, and I'll call the police!" Selena's anxious voice came through. Aveline couldn't help but laugh. "I'm not some important

person. Who would kidnap me? I'm fine. I called to let you know so you wouldn't worry."

Selena sighed in relief. "Thank goodness you're okay. I would've hated myself if anything happened to you."

Aveline asked, "Why do you say that?"

Selena replied, "I couldn't stop that jerk from taking you. If it

weren't for him, you'd be off having fun with some cute guy by

now!"

Hearing this, Aveline's eyelashes fluttered, and she glanced at the man beside her. Lucas had his eyes closed, his profile sharp and defined, exuding a tense aura Covering the phone with her hand, she whispered, "Yeah, he really messed things up."

As soon as she said that, a cold gaze fell on her.

Aveline cleared her throat. "Alright, there's nothing to worry about, I'll hang up now."

"Okay."

After ending the call, she turned to Lucas. "What are you staring at?"

Lucas's deep, dark eyes were unreadable, making it impossible to tell what he was thinking.

At that moment, Aveline's phone rang again. She picked it up and saw it was her department manager, William Foster, calling. Hello, Mr. Foster."

"Aveline, where are you? Get back here right away. There's a problem with the project you're in charge of!"

Aveline's expression immediately turned serious. "What happened?"

William replied, "I can't explain over the phone. You need to come back now."
