Chapter 720 Chapter 720 Aveline was downstairs, sipping her coffee. When she casually glanced up, she caught sight of Maria and Sidney leaving together. A trace of doubt flickered in her eyes. They were heading out again? She didn't think much of it and waited for a while before finally heading back to the office. After finalizing the contract, she received word from the finance department that the final payment had been settled. She let out a big sigh of relief. Taking out her phone, she contacted Myron. After explaining the situation, he assured her that he would inform her once the date was set.
Sitting in front of her computer, Aveline felt a weight lift off her chest, like a string that had finally cloosened.
Nearly a week later, Juliet's subordinate cto her with the results of their investigation. Juliet was shopping in the mall, and upon hearing the news, her expression shifted tically. She never would have guessed that Lucas' wife was Aveline! Whatever thoughts crossed her mind, she quickly instructed her subordinate, "I want all the current information on Aveline." "Yes, ma'am." Just then, her phone rang. Juliet checked the caller ID, and a smile spread across her face.

Gernard responded, "I'm not done with work yet. If you're tired, head back to the hotel first. I'll take you out for something nice to eat later." Juliet, however, insisted, "Gernard, where are you right now? Can I cto find you? I promise I won't cause any trouble." Gernard said, "I'm at the Tudor Group. You're not interested in these things, so maybe it's better if you don't come." "No, I am interested! Even Dad said I should learn from you and Gavin. If you don't takewith you, I'll tell Dad!" Juliet pouted, knowing that Gernard could never refuse her. She was the little princess of the family, and they were always willing to give her whatever she wanted.
"Fine, but when you come, don't cause any trouble," Gernard warned.
"Mm-hmm, don't worry," Juliet replied, hanging up the phone.
She handed her shopping bags to her bodyguard and left the mall, heading straight for the Tudor Group. Gernard had someone waiting downstairs to escort Juliet directly to the conference room. It was just a routine meeting, and outsiders were allowed to observe.
As Juliet entered, she chose a seat in the corner her gaze immediately finding Lucas sitting at the head of the table His handsface was calm, his eyelids slightly lowered, concealing any emotions that might be reflected in his dark eyes. No one could read what he was feeling at that moment.
Gernard sat diagonally across from Lucas, discussing the details of their next cooperation. The Cooper family and the Tudor Group already had ongoing collaborations, and with Lucas now in control of the Tudors, Lpartnership would continue uninterrupted.
Business was business, and personal matters were separate.

Gernard admired Lucas' intelligence and business acumen, but he did not e approve of how things were going between Lucas and Aveline. He was firmly on Aveline's side. He couldn't explain why, but every the saw her being mistreated or hurt, his heart ached for her.
The meeting didn't last long, wrapping up in just forty minutes.
Throughout, Juliet's heated gaze remained fixed on Lucas's face, something Gernard noticed all too Gernardyn well Feeling a bit helpless, he waited until Lucas had left before speaking to her. "Juliet, what are you doing?" he asked. Juliet was straightforward. "I like him, Gernard. Help me." At her words, Gernard's brows furrowed tightly. "He's married, Juliet. You shouldn't even entertain that thought." Juliet, however, was unconcerned.
"But people can get divorced even after they're married, You're the lone who spoilsthe most. Help me, please?" she pleaded. Like RICH WOMEN? X These women desperately want a mature men! JOIN NOW *Waming these rich. women will persue you.
