"Okay," Aveline murmured softly, her gaze lowered.

Only after Lucas turned and left the room did she slip on the robe and head to the bathroom to freshen up.

When she emerged, she found Lucas setting breakfast on the dining table.

She looked at him, puzzled. "Is this place one of your properties too?"

Lucas nodded. "Just one of them. It's close to the Tudor Group, so | chere occasionally when it's too late to

go home."

The apartment was a spacious 300-square-meter flat with a minimalist design. There were no plants or

decorations, and the overall atmosphere felt quite cold and empty. Aveline sat down at the table and took a sip

of the corn soup.

Lucas asked, "Do you like it here?"

"It's fine," she replied.

He continued, "I'll have it transferred into your nlater. You can stay here whenever you like."

Aveline glanced at him but said nothing.

Lucas' lips curved into a faint smile. "What's wrong? Are you so moved you don't know what to say?"

Aveline rolled her eyes internally. "This man could set up a dye shop with all the colors he's painting himself in!"

She quietly finished her meal, and soon after, they headed out to the hotel.

When they arrived, the tension in the hotel was palpable, the atmosphere heavy and strained.

As the elevator doors opened, everyone turned to look at them, their expressions filled with displeasure.

"What's the deal? They were allowed to leave last night, so why are we still being held here?"

"Yeah, why could they go, and we couldn't?"

"What exactly happened? Can someone give us an explanation?"

Everyone left behind had been guests at the previous night's ball, mostly heirs and elites from influential

families. After being kept there all night, none of them looked pleased. "Ave!"

Selena hurried down the stairs, spotting Aveline as she entered. She quickly ran to her side, asking, "What on

earth happened?"

Last night, Selena tried to find Aveline but was told that she had already left. When she tried to leave herself, she

was stopped. She immediately sought out Aaron for answers.

Aaron had said, "I've been with you all night. How would | know what happened?"

And he had a point.

Selena's suspicions only grew, her gut telling her that something had indeed gone wrong, and it had to do with

Aveline.

She thought about asking Russell,

but he was too busy to see her. Desperate, she tried calling Aveline, but all he calls went unanswered. If Aaron

hadn't reassured her that Lucas was with Aveline, she might have jumped out of a window to go find her!

Aveline nodded and said, "Yes, something did happen."

Selena instantly tensed up. "What happened?"

Aveline replied, "Let's find Russ first."

“Alright!”

They made their way upstairs, and as they approached one of the rooms, the door opened, and Russell stepped

out,

His gaze immediately fell on Aveline. "Are you okay now?"

"I'm fine," Aveline responded. "Russ, did you find out who drugged me?"

Russell nodded. "Cinside."

He led them into the room, and the bodyguards at the door promptly shut it behind them.

Inside the large room, three people were tied up in the center.

Aveline vaguely recognized two of them. She pointed to a girl in a red dress and said, "You were the one who

suggested | go upstairs to rest last night."

The girl's face turned pale, and she quickly retorted, "I only suggested it because you seemed unwell. You didn't

have to go. | was just trying to help, and now you're treatinglike this! On what grounds?"
