Aveline changed her shoes and walked in. The man’s cold gaze immediately fell on her. 

She said nothing and went to drink a glass of water. 

Footsteps approached from behind her. 

Just as Aveline set down her glass, she felt a grip on her shoulder as Lucas turned her around. 

His tall figure loomed over her, his eyes studying her intently. He asked in a low voice, “What did you mean by what you said earlier?” 

Aveline pushed his hand away, moving to a safe distance. She didn’t think their current relationship warranted such intimacy. 

She said coolly, “Going public now doesn’t suit my plans.” 

Lucas was displeased by her avoidance, but hearing her words, he raised an eyebrow. “What plans?” “That’s confidential,” Aveline replied. 

Lucas retorted, “Why should I agree to your terms if you won’t give me a reason?” 

Standing on the stairs, Aveline turned to look at him, her tone calm. “You don’t have to agree. But then I don’t have to agree to yours either.” 

Her attitude was cold as she headed upstairs. 

Lucas was speechless. 

His expression turned completely frigid. 

This woman had some nerve! 

She dared to threaten him! 

He quickly stepped forward, stopping her before she entered the room. “Aveline, you don’t seem to grasp the situation. The mastermind behind your recent ordeal is targeting you specifically. I could easily choose to stay out of it.” 

Aveline’s heart grew cold. “So, what are you saying? Because you helped, I should be grateful and follow your every command?” 

Lucas‘ face darkened. “Woman, can’t you tell right from wrong?” 

Aveline shook off his hand. “Lucas, the mastermind is targeting me, but before I met you, my life was peaceful!” 

Anger flared in her eyes, disrupting her calm demeanor like a stone thrown into a still lake. 

She took several deep breaths, struggling to control her emotions. “Lucas, this is a collaboration between 

1. us. I don’t owe you anything. If you can’t accept my conditions, then let’s end this cooperation!” 

After all, she didn’t want to be entangled with him any further! 

With those words, she turned to leave!

Lucas suddenly grabbed her, pulling her tightly against him. 

“Aveline, I could just strangle you!” he said in a low voice, but despite his words, he didn’t act on them. 

He couldn’t bring himself to hurt her.
