Chapter 547
The atmosphere in the elevator was tense, an odd mix of coldness and faint relaxation. The oppressive mood seemed to dissipate only when it encountered the light conversation between Russell and Aveline, creating a strange and suffocating feeling.
The elevator continued its smooth ascent. Not long after, the doors opened, and Lucas strode out, his expression unusually stern.
Russell raised an eyebrow in mild surprise as he watched Lucas' retreating figure. He hadn't done anything, which was completely out of character for him. Could it be that he had really given up on Aveline? As the elevator doors closed, Russell's gaze shifted to Aveline, who was staring at the closed doors, lost in thought.
No, she wasn't staring at the doors-she had been watching Lucas.
Now that the doors were shut, her view was simply blocked.
A cold glint flickered in Russell's eyes as he asked, "What are you thinking about?”
Aveline's eyelashes fluttered slightly. "I'm just wondering what role he's playing in all of this."
Russell replied, "Whatever his role, it no longer concerns us.
Aveline wavered for a moment, then nodded. "You're right."
She and Lucas were divorced.
So, it didn't matter anymore.
The elevator doors opened again, and Aveline stepped out. When she reached her front door, she turned back and waved at Russell." Goodbye, Russ."

you want to talk to me about?"
Selena hesitated for a moment before saying, "Ave, I'm planning to leave Cloudflare City."
"What?" Aveline was taken aback. "Leave? Where to?"
Selena shook her head. "I'm not sure yet, but if I stay in Cloudflare City, things might get out of my control..."
Seeing the look on her face, Aveline quickly caught on. "Is this about Aaron?"
Selena nodded, her expression weary. "That guy's got his sights on me, and I think I've gotten myself in too deep..."
Aveline sighed, feeling exasperated. She had warned Selena not to mess with Aaron lightly.
Anyone who could be friends with Lucas was unlikely to be a good person.
Aveline's expression grew serious as a thought occurred to her. "Did he do something to you?"
Selena immediately looked a bit guilty, shaking her head. "No."
Aveline kept her gaze fixed on her, not blinking.
Feeling even more guilty under her scrutiny, Selena finally gave in and admitted, "We slept together... more than once. And he doesn't seem interested in ending this messy situation."
