Chapter 854 The screech of tires cut through the night.

"Bang!" Russell slammed his fist onto the steering wheel, his eyes fixed on the brightly lit villa in the distance where Aveline was being held. He was so close, just a step away.

But if he abandoned the contract now, all the effort he had put into securing his position in the Skyler family would be for nothing.

His hands gripped the steering wheel tightly, veins bulging across his knuckles, his jaw clenched as he stared intensely at the villa one last time.

Then, with a deep breath, he restarted the engine, spinning the wheel, and sped toward the airport.

"Hurry up and open the door! They're really coming!" Wanda's panicked voice echoed from outside the bathroom.

The two bodyguards were pushing against the door with all their might, but Aveline had barricaded it with a caband was doing everything she could to hold it in place. However, she was struggling.

Fighting off two grown men was taking its toll.

Her face was pale, and beads of sweat formed on her forehead.

"I can't do this anymore... I'm leaving!" Wanda's panicked voice broke through just as Aveline felt her strength waning.

In her panic, Wanda abandoned the bodyguards and ran through another door.

"Damn! She just left like that? Isn't she afraid of what the boss will do to her?" one of the bodyguards cursed. The other one replied, "We should leave too. It's not worth it. If Lucas' people show up, we'll be worse than dead." At that, the first guard immediately agreed. "Let's go!" They were just hired hands-nothing more than regular bodyguards. They had no deep loyalty to Russell. Hearing the commotion outside, Aveline's tense body finally relaxed. She collapsed to the bathroom floor, gasping for breath. Relief flooded her.

Fending off those people had drained her entirely; she had no energy left. About ten minutes later, voices reached her from outside the bathroom. "No one here. This room's clear too." "Where could she have gone?" The voices outside were unfamiliar, and Aveline's brow furrowed. These weren't Lucas' men. She had seen his usual bodyguards before, but these voices didn't belong to any of them.

en "The bathroom door won't open!" someone called out from outside, causing Aveline's nerves to tighten instantly. "Open it up," a slightly familiar voice replied.

Aveline racked her brain, recognizing the voice, but couldn't immediately place it.

Who could it be? "The door's blocked," one of the men outside informed the familiar-sounding figure after trying to push it open. Then, the familiar voice spoke again, "Aveline, are you in there?" Her heart raced as she listened closely.

"It's me, Leo." Leo?! The moment she heard that name, it all clicked into place.

It was him!

He was the man who had once collapsed outside her apartment after working on the elevator Held lost his memory afterward and had tried to follow her... but they hadn't seen each other in a long time. She had thought he was just a passing figure in her life. But thankfully, he wasn't a stranger.

"It's me," Aveline said weakly, pushing herself to stand.

With great effort, she began to move the cabthat was blocking the door.

As soon as she managed to move the cabslightly, the people om outside took over, pushing the door open the rest of the way. Relieved, Aveline stepped back, letting them handle it.

m The door swung open quickly, and she felt someone step forward, approaching her. X
