Selena laughed and said, “Ave, I’m just an ordinary person without big ambitions. Honestly, the only reason I met Aaron is because of you. If it weren’t for you, I wouldn’t even know who he is, let alone have all these interactions. Life is short, so why not enjoy it while we can?”

Aveline listened to her words, understanding that no matter how much they resisted, they couldn’t stand up to these men. If they wanted to, there were hundreds of ways they could ruin their lives.

Instead of struggling in vain, maybe it was better to just go along with it and enjoy the ride.

Selena’s way of thinking made sense.

Aveline said, “As long as you’ve thought it through, I respect your decision.”

Selena laughed again. “Ave, why don’t we just let loose together? These rich young men will eventually get bored. When that time comes, we’ll be wealthy women, free to enjoy life anywhere in the world.”

Aveline smiled wryly and said, “Selena, you know we’re different.”

Selena sighed. “If you had a personality like mine, would all of this have happened?”

Aveline, an orphan, always longed for more. The amnesiac Lucas had given her warmth and love, and that was why she couldn’t bring herself to divorce him. She couldn’t let

go of the precious memories and the

feelings that came with them.

Aveline said, “Alright, let’s talk later. I need to get back to work.”

“Okay,” Selena replied. “You get busy, and I’ll wait for the good news.”

“Sure.”

After hanging up the phone, Aveline stared at the computer screen, lost in thought. After a while, she snapped out of it and threw herself into her work.

Later in the afternoon, Maria approached her and said, “Aveline, there’s an event tonight. Why don’t you come with me?”

Aveline asked curiously, “What kind of event?”

Recently, there hadn’t been any major business parties or events in Cloudflare City.

Maria smiled slyly. “It’s a private event.”

Aveline gave a small smile in return. “In that case, I think I’ll pass. You go ahead and have a good time.”

Maria playfully tugged on Aveline’s arm, pouting, “Come on, don’t be like that. Just go with me, please? Even though it’s a private event, I’m an outsider and don’t know any of those big shots. But you’re practically a local in Cloudflare City, so you’ll definitely handle it better than I would. Please come with

me!”

Aveline asked, “What kind of private event is it?”

María explained, “I think it’s a birthday party for some heiress of a big corporation. I don’t know her personally; I only managed to get in through some connections. In our line of work, it’s good to have ties with these second–generation elites. They spend money like water, and you never know when they might Nôvel(D)rama.Org's content.

need our services.”

Aveline considered this and found Maria’s reasoning sound. “Alright, I’ll go with you.”

Maria beamed with excitement. “I knew you were the best! We’ll head out in a bit.”

“Okay.”

After finishing the final touches on her design and saving her work, Aveline closed her computer. As she turned her head, she caught a glimpse of Vivian giving her a malicious look. Aveline frowned slightly.

Before she could take a closer look, Vivian had already looked away, as if the brief eye contact had been a figment of her imagination.

But Aveline didn’t believe in coincidences or illusions. Vivian’s hostility toward her wasn’t new, and it seemed Aveline would need to be more cautious around her.

Maria stepped out of the office and called, “Ave, let’s go!”

“Coming,” Aveline responded.

The two left together, but just as they walked out, Vivian followed them a few steps behind.
