"You saw everything, didn't you?" Aveline appeared somewhat dazed. "I did..." Russell continued, "He always had someone follow you. He knew you wouldn't let Sophia off, so he timed it perfectly to rescue her tonight." He kept his gaze fixed on Aveline. "Aveline, to him, Sophia is the most important person." Aveline's eyelashes trembled slightly before she responded, "Well, that has nothing to do withanymore." She and Lucas were divorced. Whatever he chose to do was no longer her concern.

"Russ, did you know all along that Brian was following me?" "Yes." Russell nodded. "Mason told me. Those two have been watching over you, reporting anything suspicious directly to me." Aveline looked at him quietly. "So, you deliberately letsee this scene?"

Russell seemed hesitant, almost reluctant to share the news, but after a brief Rause, he said, I've received word that DK Group has invested in Sophia's company." "What?!" Aveline's eyes widened in shock. "Lucas invested in Sophia's company?" "Yes, that's right," Russell confirmed with a nod. "Everything you planned before has failed."
Sophia was supposed to go bankrupt because of this, which would have severely weakened her position m within the Winter family. But now, things had taken a different turn. Lucas' investment had saved her company, giving her even more leverage.
Aveline's face drained of color. She tried her best to control her emotions, controthermotions, but she couldn't stop herself from trembling. She bit down on her lip, her eyes flickering with an overwhelming sense of powerless anger brewing deep within her.
