Chapter 203


    “Who the hell dared to kick me?” Gernard cursed as he struggled to get up. When he saw who had. arrived, the vicious snarl on his face instantly vanished, reced by wide–eyed terror.


    “Mr. Tudor…”


    At that moment, Lucas held Aveline in his arms, his crisp, pleasant scent filling her senses. She felt stunned and disoriented.


    Lucas radiated a chilling aura, his eyes cold and sharp. “You darey a hand on my woman?”


    Gernard immediately fell to his knees in fear. “Mr. Tudor, I’m sorry. I didn’t recognize who she was. If I <b>had </b>known, I wouldn’t have dared to covet her.”


    Gernard had spent decades in Cloudre City, but he was nothingpared to Lucas. Lucas wasn’t just the CEO of DK Group; he had the backing of the influential Tudor family, who could remove anyone from society without a trace.


    As Gernard kept begging for mercy, Desmond walked in, waved his hand, and two bodyguards stepped forward to drag Gernard out.


    Gernard continued to plead, “Mr. Tudor, I know I was wrong, I truly <b>know </b>I was


    wrong.


    The bodyguards covered his mouth and dragged him into a private room, where muffled screams soon


    followed.


    Lucas carried Aveline out of the restroom. Seeing her pale face, his heart tightened, and he asked coldly, “Was it fun bringing this upon yourself?”


    If she had just waited at the Tudor mansion, none of this would have happened.


    Aveline’s body trembled, and she lowered her eyes, stepping out of his embrace. “Thank you.<b>”</b>


    She was truly terrified. His sudden appearance felt like a god descending from the heavens, shaking the walls of the fortress she had built around her heart.


    Seeing her in this state, Lucas couldn’t bring himself to scold her. He looked at her for a long moment <b>and </b><b>then </b><b>said</b>, “Wait in my <b>car</b><b>.</b>”


    With that, he handed her the keys.


    Aveline instinctively took them and watched as his tall, imposing figure walked away.


    “Miss Young, please follow me,” Desmond said respectfully as he approached.


    Aveline nodded and followed Deshond out of the Grand Feast Club.


    After they left, Gwen peeked out from a <b>corner</b>, covering her mouth, her face full of terror.


    What should she do now?


    It seemed she had offended <b>Lucas</b><b>!</b>

    If Lucas found out that she had orchestrated tonight’s events, he would surely make her life a living hell! She took out her phone, checked her bank bnce, and immediately booked a ne ticket, nning to leave overnight.


    However, on her way home, two bodyguards suddenly grabbed her and shoved her into a car.


    Aveline knew nothing of this.


    She got into Lucas‘ car, his scent enveloping herpletely, allowing her tense nerves to gradually


    rx.


    Suddenly, someone knocked on the car window, startling <b>Aveline</b>. She turned to see Desmond smiling at


    her.


    She rolled down the window and asked, “What’s the matter?”


    Desmond handed her a cup of warm tea. “Miss Young, this is from Mr. Tudor. He thought it might warmThis is property ? N?velDrama.Org.


    you up.


    In truth, it was Desmond’s idea.


    Aveline held a special ce in Lucas‘ heart, so it was wise to <b>maintain </b>a good rtionship with her. He wouldn’t be foolish like Brian, who, knowing Aveline’s significance to Lucas, still dared to provoke her. Brian deserved to get himself beaten up!


    “Thank you.”


    Aveline, a bit surprised, took the tea. As she looked at it, she felt a bit dazed.


    It seemed that ever since he regained his memory, he had stopped giving her these little things.
