Aaron reached up to rub his arm and said, "I overheard Selena talking to Aveline on the phone. She sounds pretty certain. What did you do to make her want to leave Cloudflare City?"But he received no answer; Lucas hung up on him abruptly."What a temper!" Aaron commented, setting his phone aside and leaning back against the headboard."Selena!" He called out loudly, immediately feeling dizzy and unwell.A moment later, Selena pushed the door open and poked her head in. "What is it?"Aaron, half-squinting, said, "Add me to your messenger contact. I don't want to keep shouting; it gives me a headache."Selena replied, "You could just call me."Aaron said, "That's too much trouble."Selena was speechless.She gave him a perplexed look, unable to understand why he found calling her more troublesome than opening WhatsApp to send a message.What had gotten into him this time?But, remembering that she only had a week left with him, she decided not to argue. She walked in and added him as a

Lucas gritted his teeth in anger, now wanting nothing more than to grab Aveline and strangle her! The Maple Garden house was a meticulously chosen gift from him. How dare she sell it?The pressure in the room intensified, and the coldness in the air seemed to freeze.Russell frowned, seeing the murderous look in Lucas' eyes. He suddenly felt worried for Aveline. This madman might actually try to kill her. He needed to warn her to get out of town quickly.Lucas' cold gaze fell on Russell's face, his voice icy. "Mr. Skyler, you don't need this house. Name your price, I'll buy it."Russell laughed as if he had heard a hilarious joke. "Lucas, did I hear you right? You want to buy this house back? Are you that desperate to throw your money away?"Lucas' expression remained haughty and detached. "I'll have someone contact you. Within three days, I expect you to move out."With that, he turned and left, heading straight for Aveline's current residence.Russell snorted. The house was in his h

Aveline smiled and said, "You've changed a lot too. If you hadn't called out to me, I wouldn't have recognized you."Aveline and Russell grew up together in the orphanage and were close friends as kids. But as they got older, things changed and they drifted apart. After Aveline left for college, she lost touch with her old friends from the orphanage.Zachary asked, "Are you back to see us?""Yes, I am." Aveline nodded.Originally, she had wanted to take her time before going back, but it seemed that wasn’t going to happen now.Zachary's eyes lit up. "That's great! Aveline, Madam Hilda will be so happy to see you. She's been talking about you all these years."Aveline smiled. "I'm going to buy a few things. Do you want to come with me?""Sure," Zachary agreed.During their conversation, Aveline learned that Zachary had just graduated and hadn't found a job yet. He had returned to Arthur Town hoping to find a stable job, which would also allow him to help out at the orphanage regularly.

Juliet said, "Why would she come back? Doesn't she hold a grudge over what happened back then?"Hilda replied, "I didn't expect her to come back either, Juliet. Now is not the time to dwell on that. What if she finds out something?"Juliet chuckled. "She won't. She has no idea. But to prevent any mishaps, you can finish what you didn't complete back then."Hilda's eyes brightened. "Alright, I understand!"Then she asked, "Juliet, when are you coming back? It's been so long since you visited me."Juliet's tone cooled. "Madam Hilda, I have some matters to attend to here. I'll send you ten thousand dollars later so you can buy something nice.""Alright, Juliet, you’re always so considerate, unlike Aveline, who came back with a bunch of useless stuff. Who needs that?"After hanging up, Hilda's eyes gleamed as she scrolled through her phone until she found a number and dialed it."Hello? Mr. Portal? Do you remember Aveline Young?"...Outside the orphanage, Zachary said, "Aveline, don't tak

Hilda continued to belittle Aveline while greedily eating the meal that Aveline was paying for. Aveline found it exasperating.Finally, after Hilda had eaten her fill, she burped and stood up, saying, "I'm going to the restroom."Aveline put down her utensils, intending to ask her about the matter once she returned. However, half an hour passed, and Hilda had not returned. Aveline's brow furrowed, and she took out her phone to call Hilda. No one answered.Aveline's expression grew cold.Just then, the door to the private room was abruptly pushed open, and a young man with a broad, menacing face walked in. He wore a leather jacket and had an insolent demeanor. His eyes lit up upon seeing Aveline."It's been years, and you’ve become even more beautiful!" he exclaimed.Aveline immediately stood up, warily eyeing the newcomer.It was Mike Portal.Mike, the son of Arthur Town's deputy mayor, was infamous for his rampant behavior and terrible reputation. Five years ago, on the night Ave
