The last time he had seen Aveline at the h completely distant, cold, and unapproachable. 

What had happened during this time? 

Lucas‘ voice was sharp as he ordered, “Find out.” 

“Yes.” Desmond nodded.

Instead of leaving, Lucas headed to the basement level. As if something had crossed his mind, he said, “Have Brian meet me.” 

“Understood.” 

At DK Group. 

As soon as Lucas entered the CEO’s office, there was a knock on the door. 

“Come in.” 

Brian pushed the door open and stepped inside, looking slightly uneasy. “Mr. Tudor.” 

Seated in his chair, Lucas asked coldly, “You’ve been keeping an eye on Aveline. Did you notice anything unusual about her?” 

Brian’s eyes flickered for a moment. He hadn’t followed Aveline last night, but he could still report what had happened earlier. 

“Russell went to pick up Miss Young, and they went to the seaside, the same place where she was went to the seaside, the same place where she was taken last time,” Brian explained. 

Upon hearing this, Lucas narrowed his long, dark eyes. “Why did they go there?” 

“I–I’m not sure,” Brian stammered. “I kept my distance, focusing on Russell. I was worried he might harm Miss Young.” 

Lucas tapped his fingers rhythmically on the desk, his expression remaining cold and indifferent. After a long pause, he finally said, “Alright, I understand. You can go.” 

“Yes, sir.” 

Brian let out a sigh of relief, turning to leave. 

But Lucas‘ eyes followed him out, his expression turning icy as soon as Brian’s back was turned. 

When Aveline arrived at the studio and clocked in, she had just settled at her desk and opened her computer when Sidney walked over. 

He handed her a carton of milk. “You don’t look well. Did you not get enough rest last night?” 

Aveline glanced at the milk, pausing for a moment before replying, “I’m fine. Your arm hasn’t fully healed yet–you should drink it.” 

Sidney pressed his lips together. “Aveline, about what happened last time, I really didn’t mean it.” 

“I know.” Aveline nodded. “I didn’t take it to heart, so you shouldn’t dwell on it either.” 

Sidney looked down, his voice low. “I’m afraid your divorce was because of me. If that’s true, I’d never forgive myself.” 

Aveline smiled slightly. “You’re overthinking it. It had nothing to do with you.” 

“That’s a relief.” Sidney visibly relaxed. 

He seemed nervous, hesitating for a moment before asking, “A friend gave me two movie tickets. Are you free tonight?” 

Aveline’s smile faded slightly. “Sidney, it’s work hours now. Let’s focus on our tasks.” 

It was a polite refusal. 

The faint light in Sidney’s eyes dimmed instantly.
