Chapter 541 How ridiculous.

All the plans she had carefully crafted, all the strategies she'd designed to punish others, had ended up being futile-like punching into thin air.

Weak and ineffective.

Even her anger felt useless because she was up against Lucas.

She couldn't possibly fight against him! If he wanted, he could block every path she tried to take.

It had been that way with Bobby before, and now it was the swith Sophia.

What kind of person had she been entangled with for so long? Aveline's gaze grew distant as she stared blankly into the darkness ahead, which seemed like an endless abyss slowly engulfing her.

Russell grasped her hand. "Aveline, are you okay?" "I... I'm fine," Aveline murmured, her lips trembling slightly.

She was fine-of course, she was fine. It was just another failure, nothing more. It didn't matter.

Silent tears slipped down her cheeks, leaving a cold trail in their wake. She reached up to touch her face, and when she looked down, her fingers were wet with glistening tears. Why cry? What was there to cry about? She should have known better! She could never figure out his intentions! Why did she even dare to think she could contend with him? Ha, how laughable! Aveline chuckled bitterly to herself, but for sreason, the tears only flowed faster, finally merging into an unbroken stream.

A flicker of pain crossed Russell's eyes. He gently wiped her face with a tissue.

Aveline sniffled. "Russ, I'm fine. Let's just go back." Russell responded with a hoarse voice, "Alright." It pained him deeply to see her so hurt and upset.

But if he hadn't done this, she would never be able to let go of Lucas! 1/3 +15 BONUS Even though they were divorced, and even though she had endured countless disappointments, there was still a place in her heart reserved for Lucas.

That wasn't the outcRussell wanted to see! He felt sorry for making Aveline so sad and hurt but he would make it up to her by treating her twice as well... At Maple Garden.

Aveline got out of the car and smiled faintly at Russell. "Russ, I'm heading in. I'm not in the best shape today, but I'll treat you to a meal another time." Russell also stepped out of the car, frowning as he gazed at her. "No need to treat me. Just take care of yourself." "But I want to," Aveline insisted seriously. "If it weren't for you, I might still be clinging to illusions. Now, those illusions are shattered." Illusions? What illusions? Illusions about Lucas? Russell lowered his gaze slightly, feeling reassured that his plan had worked.

"Letwalk you up," Russell offered.

"No need." Aveline shook her head. "I can go up on my own. You should head hearly too. Goodbye." With that, she turned and walked away.

Russell watched her retreating figure for a long time, then pulled a cigarette from his pocket and lit it. The hazy smoke swirled upward, obscuring his face, and making it impossible to read his expression. Aveline returned to her apartment, moving mechanically. As she looked around the spacious yet lavishly decorated space, a bitter smile crept onto her lips.

She kicked off her shoes, sank onto the sofa, and stared blankly ahead, for upresponsive for a long time. What now? What was she supposed to do now? Lucas would protect Sophia, and she no longer had the strength to do anything about it.

What should she do? Just then, her phone rang. She glanced at the screen and saw it was a call from Sasha.

+15 BONUS She forced a smile and answered, "Hello, Miss Winter. We failed."

There was a long silence on the other end before Sasha finally asked, Noes m "Aveline, does Lucas really love you?" Comments
