Aveline's tone was cold. "Where are you?"

Sophia was clearly taken aback by the question but replied, "Suite 8088 at the No. 9 Mansion."

Aveline hung up the phone immediately.

Ha...

Busy, huh? Busy doing what? Going after women?

Aveline narrowed her eyes. They weren't divorced yet, and Lucas was already crossing the line. If he wouldn't agree to the divorce, then he shouldn't blame her for being uncooperative. As dusk fell, the city gradually became illuminated by lights.

When Aveline arrived at the No. 9 Mansion, she was stopped by an attendant. The attendant smiled politely, "Excuse me, ma'am, do you have a reservation?"

Aveline replied, "I'm here to see Lucas Tudor."

The attendant maintained his polite smile. "Ma'am, without a reservation, you can't enter."

Aveline pressed, "Not even to see someone?"

The attendant responded, "Unless someone escorts you inside, you cannot enter without a reservation.

Aveline opened her bag, pulled out her marriage certificate, and displayed it to the attendant. "Now, do I still need a reservation?"

The attendant was stunned. He carefully examined the certificate, making sure it was genuine.

The marriage certificate was indeed real.

He couldn't afford to offend her. If this woman complained to Lucas later, he'd be in big trouble,

Aveline put the marriage certificate away and waved her hand. "You don't need to follow me."

"Understood," the attendant replied and turned away.

Aveline walked towards the elevator when she heard a light laugh not far away. She turned and saw Russell approaching, his blue hair catching the light. He wore a diamond stud in his left ear, which sparkled u With a mischievous smile on his handsome face, he looked both charming and roguish. "Your move really surprised me."

Aveline smiled with delight. "What a coincidence."

Russell raised an eyebrow. "Indeed, it is. So, what brings you here?"

Aveline replied, "Can't you tell from my demeanor?"

Russell smirked playfully. "Catching someone in the act?"

Aveline said, "I need to check first. I can't jump to conclusions yet."

Russell grinned. "Mind if I join? I love being part of such drama."

Aveline sighed but nodded. "Sure, but you'll be witnessing a potential scandal."

Russell chuckled. "How could it be a scandal? I can be your witness. If you end up in a divorce court, I can testify for you." Aveline's eyes lit up. That could wood
