    Hearing Mnie’s words, Riley’s expression softened slightly.


    He sighed and said, “Alright, you go ahead and have someone bring. Sophia back.”


    “Understood,” Mnie replied, a hint of satisfaction shing in her eyes as she stood up and left the room..


    Sasha also rose and followed her mother out of the vi.


    As they stepped into the dark night, Mnie took Sasha’s hand, her face filled with relief. “Sasha, my dear daughter, you’ve finally helped me get rid of this major threat.”


    Sasha smiled faintly. “She brought this on herself. How can it be my fault?”


    Mnie nodded approvingly and then asked, “But are you sure they won’t trace this back to you?”


    Sasha shook her head confidently. “Don’t worry, Mom. They won’t find anything. I’ve already sent those people out of the country. Once they’re abroad, there’s no way they can be found.”


    Mnie nodded again, clearly pleased. “Well done. You should also try to get closer to Aveline. It’s clear Lucas is very fond of her. If we maintain a good rtionship with her, our family stands to gain a lot.”


    Sasha nodded. “I understand.”

    Lucas looked deeply into her eyes and said, “None of that is more important than you.”


    Aveline’s brow furrowed, her expression growing colder.


    Lucas continued, “I’ve already set things in motion. By tomorrow, you’ll see the news of Sophia being kicked out of the Winter family.”


    Aveline lowered her gaze slightly, her emotions a mix of thoughts and feelings.


    As the elevator slowly ascended, the atmosphere grew tense.


    Lucas, with his hands <b>in </b>his pockets, watched Aveline’sposed face and asked in a deep voice, “Aveline, if there’s anything else you’re unhappy with, tell me. Whatever it is, I’ll make it happen.”


    Upon hearing his words, Aveline lifted her gaze to meet his, a faint, ironic smile tugging at her lips. “Lucas, you know exactly what I want.

    Lucas‘ eyes grew colder. “Choose something else.”


    Aveline fell silent, realizing there was no point in continuing the


    conversation. After all, it was clear he had no intention of letting her go. What was the use of saying anything more?

    Seeing this, Lucas moved closer and gently took her hand. “Aveline, I won’t hurt you. There’s no need to be afraid of me.”


    Aveline’s eyes widened slightly as she tried to pull her hand away again, but Lucas held on, pulling her into his embrace.


    His broad arms enveloped herpletely, and the crisp, distinct scent that was uniquely his surrounded her with an overwhelming intensity.
