Chapter 9  Aveline couldn’t help but chuckle. After recording the video, she called the ambulance. The ambulance arrived quickly. On the way to the hospital, she dialed the number from the paper. The person on the other end, Lucas‘ stepmother, Yvonne Betsy, hearing that the elderly woman was lost and injured, said immediately, “Thank you. We’ll be there soon. Please stay with her until we arrive.” Aveline agreed. After hanging up, Yvonne called Lucas. “Hello?” Lucas’s cold voice came through the phone. Yvonne said, “Lucas, your grandmother is lost and now in the hospital. You’re closer, so go check on her. I’ll be there shortly.” Lucas frowned. “What happened?” “I’m not sure of the details. Just go quickly,” Yvonne urged. “Alright, I understand,” Lucas replied and headed to the hospital. At the hospital, the doctors found that Lucas’s grandmother, Barbara Luzen, had a minor bone fracture in her leg, requiring a hospital stay for treatment. She clung tightly to Aveline’s hand, her aged face showing a trace of pain. “Granddaughter–in–law, it hurts so much.” Aveline sighed. “Madam, I’m not your granddaughter–in–law.” “You are! You are!” Barbara insisted like a child. “I don’t care, you are my granddaughter–in–law!” +IS DOM “Alright, alright, I am. Please don’t get upset,” Aveline quickly reassured her, worried that her agitation might worsen her condition. Only then did Barbara smile. “Granddaughter–in–law, why don’t you visit me? You’re just like my grandson, both of you never come to see me!” Aveline just smiled and remained silent. At that moment, the door to the room opened. Both of them turned to look, and Aveline’s eyes widened in surprise. Lucas! What was he doing here? “What are you doing here?” Lucas asked, frowning as he saw Aveline. Before Aveline could speak, Barbara scolded, “Grandson, how can you talk to my granddaughter–in–law like that? You must treat your wife with care, not be harsh! Apologize to her!” Lucas was speechless. Realizing that Barbara was Lucas‘ grandmother, Aveline couldn’t help but laugh. She looked at Lucas, waiting to see how he would apologize. Since their relationship had soured, he hadn’t shown her any kindness, as if she owed him money! Clearly, he was the one who deceived her first! Lucas looked at Barbara. “Grandma, I need to talk to her. Please rest for a while.” 23 +15 BONUS He then grabbed Aveline’s arm and pulled her out of the room. Barbara continued to shout, “Don’t be harsh on your wife, do you hear me?” As the door closed, Lucas gripped Aveline’s arm tightly and pulled her close, his eyes cold. “Aveline, I can tolerate your antics, but using an elderly woman with dementia is crossing the line.” Aveline’s wrist hurt from his grip, but his words hurt even more. “What nonsense are you talking about?” Lucas sneered, “Didn’t you deliberately approach my -grandmother and reveal your identity? You’ll stop at nothing to avoid a divorce!” Aveline laughed in anger. How could he think of her this way? Hadn’t he learned anything about her in the past year? The grievance welled up inside her, but she forced it down. She raised her chin. “I don’t want a divorce, but I had no idea she was your grandmother!” “Stop pretending.” Lucas tightened his grip on her wrist. “If you didn’t tell her, why would she keep calling you her granddaughter–in–law?” L

Chapter 8 Aveline looked at him. “What if I don’t want to do it?” Desmond smiled. “You can’t turn this down.” Aveline rolled her eyes and took the file straight to Lucas’s office. Desmond tried to stop her, but he couldn’t. She pushed the door open and walked right in. Lucas, tall and imposing, stood by the floor–to–ceiling window, talking on the phone. Hearing the door being pushed open, he turned and frowned. “Let’s leave it at that,” he said, ending the call. “Who allowed you to come in?” he asked coldly, his eyes icy. Aveline slammed the file on his desk. “Did you do this on purpose?” Lucas glanced at the file and replied coolly, “Isn’t this part of your job? What’s the problem? If you don’t want to do it, you can quit. Plenty of people want this job.” Aveline fumed silently. This jerk was definitely doing this on purpose! He was retaliating because she had slapped him last night! That was why he pushed her to the limit last night and sent her to a construction site today. Seeing her angry but unable to retort, Lucas felt pretty good somehow. “Get out. And next time, remember to knock,” he said, turning his attention back to his work. Aveline stared at him, then suddenly leaned forward. She placed her hands on the desk and leaned her upper body close to his. She whispered, “Fine, but next time, you need my permission before coming in.” She then grabbed the file and left. Lucas was stunned. What nonsense was she talking about? If she hadn’t seduced him last night, he wouldn’t have touched her! His briefly improved mood darkened again instantly. Aveline was in charge of the commercial building project, which was currently under construction. She got out of her car and looked at the uneven, muddy road, feeling disheartened. As she walked forward, she saw an elderly woman sitting on the cement ground not far away, looking lost and helpless. People passed by her without asking if she needed help, afraid of getting scammed. Aveline examined the woman’s clothing, noting that she was well -dressed, even wearing a diamond bracelet on her wrist, which didn’t fit the profile of someone trying to scam others. After some thought, the approached and asked, “Madam, are you alright?” The elderly woman looked at her, and her eyes suddenly brightened. “Granddaughter–in–law! You’re my granddaughter- +15 BONUS in–law! I’m lost. Granddaughter–in–law, can you take me home? Aveline was stunned. The old woman seemed confused, possibly suffering from dementia. She quickly bent down and asked, “Madam, do you remember where your home is?” The elderly woman looked bewildered. “Where is my home? I don’t know. Granddaughter–in–law, help me find it. I forgot where I live.” Aveline took out her phone, intending to call the police. Seeing the phone, the elderly woman’s eyes lit up. “Phone, phone, my phone is here!” She pulled out a small bag tied with a string from her neckline. Inside the bag was a phone. The bag also contained a piece of paper with a phone number on it. Aveline saw it and felt relieved. “Madam, how are you feeling? Can you walk?” Aveline asked with concern. The elderly woman looked upset. “I can’t walk. My legs hurt. Granddaughter–in–law, my legs hurt. Can you blow on them for me?” Aveline couldn’t help but laugh. “Let’s take you to the hospital first.” To be safe, she took out her phone and recorded a video. ” Madam, I didn’t hit you, right?” “That’s right, my granddaughter–in–law didn’t hit me.” The +15 BONUS  elderly woman cooperated, even making a heart gesture at the camera.

Chapter 7 Slap!  Aveline struck Lucas across the face. “I have no dignity? You’re the scumbag cheating during our marriage, and that’s dignified?” Lucas’s eyes widened in shock. He never expected her to dare hit him! Raised in luxury, when had anyone ever treated him like this? Pressing his tongue against his cheek, he grabbed … Read More “Divorced 7” »

Chapter 6 That girl was the same one in the private room that day, asking Lucas when he would divorce.  She was intimately holding his arm. Lucas had always been a clean freak. When she first brought him home, even though he had lost his memory, some of his body’s instinctive habits remained. Once he … Read More “Divorced 6” »

Chapter 5 What did he take her for?  Her heart ached as if it were being torn apart, making it difficult for her to breathe. Seeing the tears in her eyes, Lucas’ gaze deepened, but his expression grew even colder. “I have my reasons. Not telling you was to protect you.” “Hah!” Aveline scoffed, holding … Read More “Divorced 5” »

Chapter 4 When Aveline arrived at the office and sat down, a colleague immediately came over and said, “Aveline, have you heard? Our company has been acquired! The person who bought it is Lucas Tudor, Frederick Tudor’s third son, who mysteriously went missing.”  Aveline froze. “What’s his name?” “Lucas Tudor. I saw his photo, and … Read More “Divorced 4” »

Chapter 3 Aveline looked at him. “Say something.”  Lucas responded, “Let’s eat first.” He gently pushed her away and walked to the dining table, placing the breakfast on it. Aveline’s heart sank deeper into despair as she stared at his back, pain evident in her eyes. She had stopped him from saying the word “divorce,” … Read More “Divorced 3” »

Chapter 2 Earlier, when she heard his voice, it was mixed with music, making it hard to hear clearly. But now, his deep, magnetic voice came from right above her, so clear that it struck her heart, leaving her breathless with pain.  He could speak. However, he hadn’t told her about it immediately. In fact, … Read More “Divorced 2” »

Chapter 1 “When will you divorce her?”  In the private room, the girl gazed at the man before her with deep affection. Aveline stood outside the private room with cold hands and feet. Like the girl inside, she stared at the man’s handsome, sharp face, as her complexion gradually turned pale. That was her husband, … Read More “Divorced 1” »
