Chapter 146 Aveline looked at Aaron with a faint smile. "Would you dare to say that to him when he's sober?" Aaron was speechless for a moment.
He looked at Aveline for a while, then suddenly turned to the semi-conscious Lucas and said, "Buddy, you're going to have a tough tin the future." Aveline still showed no intention of letting them in. "You should go. back to wherever you cfrom. You're not welchere." With that, she lowered the baseball bat and slammed the door shut.
Aaron stood there, taking a deep breath before turning around and supporting Lucas as they left.

Aaron sneered. "Your Ave doesn't want you anymore. Go ahead and keep acting out." Back in her bedroom, Aveline lay down and closed her eyes but couldn't fall asleep.
She opened her eyes, staring at the ceiling, her thoughts a mess.
Why did he go drinking again? Wasn't he supposed to see Sophia? Did he feel so heartbroken about her depression that he drank to drown his sorrows? Wow, how sentimental.
Aveline's face remained expressionless as her mind wandered. She turned over and tried to fall asleep again. For the next few days, she didn't see Lucas.
Aveline continued to work methodically. The project developed in collaboration with Brighton Enterprises was nearing its end.
Once this was done, she could resign.

"Hello, Selena." "Waah..." Selena's sobbing voice cthrough. "Ave, I've gotten into trouble." Aveline's expression turned serious. "What happened?" Selena said, "I hit someone, and now we're at the hospital. He might demand compensation..." Aveline glanced at the time, then stood up. "Don't panic. I'll cto you right now. Which hospital are you at?" Selena gave her the hospital's name. Aveline informed her manager and left immediately.
When she arrived at the hospital, she saw Selena standing at the entrance of a hospital room, her bright and pretty face scrunched up with worry. Aveline approached and looked her over. "Are you alright? You're not hurt, are you?" Selena shook her head. "I'm fine." +15 BONU! Aveline breathed a sigh of relief. "As long as you're okay." Selena added, "But the other person got a head injury. The doctor said it's a concussion, and he needs to be hospitalized for observation and rest for a while." Aveline's expression grew even more serious. "What exactly happened? How did it get so serious?"
Selena sighed. "I was out with scolleagues for dinner, and we went to a karaoke bar afterward, I drank a bit too much. When I went to the restroom, I saw a guy trying to force himself on a girl. I felt a surge guy on the head. And then... well, here we are." Aveline was speechless for a moment. "Is he inside?"
"Yes," Selena replied, looking at her "Ave with a pitiful explc m scared. I'm I'm not afraid of paying compensation, but what if I really hurt him badly?"
Aveline reassured her, "It's alright.
The chances of that are very low!! Let's go in and check on him." "Okay." Selena stepped forward and pushed open the door to the hospital TOOI.
When Aveline saw the person on the bed, she was stunned. "It's you? COMMENTS X
