NovelOnlineChapter 206 Thinking about the madness of the previous night made her legs weak. She quickly shook off those thoughts and got up.
As she stepped out of bed and put weight on her feet, her legs buckled, and she nearly fell.
That bastard! Cursing him silently, Aveline steadied herself for a moment before heading to the bathroom.
She had washed her clothes after showering last night, and now they were dry. After freshening up, she found the bedroom door open, with the maid having already tidied the bed. Maintaining a facade of composure, she walked downst Alfred greeted her with a smile, "Good morning, ma'a........ Breakfast is ready." Aveline nodded and headed to the dining room.

Aveline kept her eyes lowered, eating her oatmeal in small bites.
Lucas' gaze slowly swept over her, his eyes dark and deep.
Aveline felt uneasy under his stare but didn't want to engage in conversation. She only hoped that once they got to the company, he would approve her resignation.
After finishing her meal, Aveline looked up at him and asked, "Are we going to the company together?" Lucas replied, "If you want to walk, I have no objections." Aveline fell silent.
Why did he have to speak so rudely? She stayed silent, waiting for him to finish eating.
Lucas wiped the corner of his mouth and stood up. Aveline immediately followed him to the car, her heart fluttering with anticipation.
+15 BONUS Once they arrived at the company, she planned to bring up her resignation again, hoping he would agree since he had promised.

To her surprise, they ran into Sophia at the entrance.
Aveline paused as she was about to get out of the car, a bitter smile crossing her face. It was funny in a sad way - she was his lawful wife, but now she felt like a mistress he wanted to keep hidden. Lucas got out of the car and asked Sophia, "Why are you here?" Sophia's gaze shifted from the car, noticing Aveline. Seeing them arrive together, she wondered if they had spent the night together. The thought made her furious, but there were more pressing matters at hand.
She said, "Lucas, my cousin works at DK Group, but she went missing after returning hlast night. Her family can't reach her, so I cto ask if you know where she might be." She smiled slightly. "If she did something wrong, could you forgive her for my sake? She is quite capable, after all." Lucas asked, "What's her name?" Sophia replied, "Gwen Scoot."
Aveline's brows furrowed. Gwen was her manager. She must have known about last night's events. Aveline hadn't yet confronted her, and now she was missing? Lucas' expression remained cold and indifferent as he said, "I had her detained."
Sophia quickly asked, "Why? Lucas, if she did something wrong, I apologize on her behalf Please don't be angry. If necessary, you can fire her. Her family is really worried, and so am I."
Aveline looked at Lucas as a thought struck her. Maybe he was detaining Gwen because he knew Gwen was involved in harming her last night. If that was the case, he wouldn't just let Gwen go so easily. 2/3 +15 BONUS To her surprise, Lucas nodded to Sophia. "Fine, I'll release her now, but she can't stay at DK." D COMMENTS
