Aveline raised her head, a hint of disdainful smile flashed in her eyes. "Mr. Sterling, you have quite the skill in asking questions. Wasn't it you who asked for a divorce?"

Alexander clearly ignored her words and approached Aveline with a chilling aura. "Have you been with him these past few days?"

At such a close distance, Aveline could clearly see the coldness in his dark and thick eyelashes, the bloodshot veins on his white eyes, and the fierce expression on his face.

Aveline denied, "No, it's just that it's difficult to find a Uber these days, and Ryan happened to be passing by and gave me a ride."

Alexander sneered, his thin lips curling up. "Aveline, when you lie, your eyes tend to look upwards. You've had this habit until now, go after a year of resistance, abandoning your

man?"

Aveline didn't want to explain. The more excuses she made, the more he would feel that she was trampling on his intelligence.

So Aveline quickly changed the topic, "It doesn't matter, let's just get a divorce first."

Before she could take a step, Alexander had already grabbed her wrist. He didn't use much force, but Aveline felt a piercing pain, and she looked at him with displeasure, furrowing her brows.

Alexander's face showed madness, his voice cold and chilling. "Before, I thought that divorce would be the best punishment for you. But now, I've changed my mind."

Aveline was stunned. "What are you talking about?"

Alexander looked at her with an evil expression. "I suddenly don't want a divorce anymore."

His slender fingers caressed her cheek as he lowered his gaze and said coldly, "Mrs. Sterling, are you

happy?"

If it had been half a month ago, Aveline would have been very happy to know that Alexander didn't want a divorce. But after knowing the truth, his touch only made Aveline feel disgusted.

"Let go! Alexander, I want to divorce you, right now."

The man easily lifted her up. The harbor that used to shelter her from the wind and rain now only left Aveline with endless resistance.

"Let go of me, Alexander, have you gone crazy?"

The difference in strength between men and women was huge, not to mention the fact that Aveline was as fragile as paper now and had no power to resist in Alexander's hands.

Her body was placed in the back seat of the car by Alexander. This struggle felt like intense exercise for Aveline, and she gasped for breath, struggling to speak, "Alexander, what do you want to do?" "What do I want to do?"

He tugged at his bothersome tie, a hint of mockery flashed in his cold eyes. "Aveline, what I want is for you to suffer. Do you think I'm stupid enough to let you have fun with other men while married to me? I really underestimated you. You said you would rather die than divorce me, but as soon as you turned around, you found another man. Are you that desperate?"

Aveline had a splitting headache. Being provoked like this by him felt like being pricked with needles in her heart.

She bit her lip and said, "You were so eager for a divorce before, and now that I'm granting your wish, why are you acting like this? You've been unfaithful to me for a long time, so what does it matter to you if I have a fling with someone else?"

In the next second, the man raised his chin fiercely, his voice without a ripple. "Everyone in this world can find happiness, except for you, Aveline. Do you understand?"

Aveline met his indifferent gaze, his pitch-black eyes exuding silent pressure, and his voice carried a cruel indifference. "Whether we divorce or not, it's my decision."

As he leaned forward, his tie fell and landed on both sides of Aveline's cheeks. His exquisite woolen coat was perfectly smooth, without a single wrinkle. With his high and mighty posture, it seemed as if everyone else in the world were mere ants in his presence.

This point was soon proven true as the car turned around the divider, and Aveline's gaze fell on the line of cars on the opposite side. Right in front of the queue was a crashed Cayenne, and wasn't that Ryan's car?

Ryan had just dropped her off and immediately got into an accident. Aveline's face turned pale, and she shouted loudly, "Stop the car!"

Even if Lucas was as foolish as can be, there was no way he would stop the car at a time like this. He 256

pretended to be deaf and ignored everything.

Aveline tried to forcefully open the car door, but her wrist was firmly pulled back into Alexander's embrace. She fell into Alexander's arms.

She heard the man speak slowly, "What? Feeling sorry for her?"

"Are you crazy? Ryan only takes care of me a little more at the hospital because we graduated from the same school. We have no relationship whatsoever. Why are you doing this?" Aveline asked angrily. Alexander slowly reached out his hand, and his cool fingertips brushed against her face. His voice came out coldly, "Because... the more upset you are, the happier I become."

Aveline weakly tugged at his shirt, filled with anger but already exhausted. She forced herself to stay focused and said, "Alexander, my father sponsored Delilah's education. Even if they have some kind of relationship, I believe he would never harm Delilah."

At the mention of this name, Alexander's expression suddenly changed. His face, which had been coldly smiling just a second ago, turned into a furious one. He forcefully pulled Aveline's body away. "What right do you have to mention that name?" he asked.

Aveline's back slammed hard against the hard car door. Her already weak body felt like it was falling apart. She weakly leaned against the side, suppressing the pain coming from deep within her bones. Alexander was obviously sensitive to this name, which meant she hadn't found the wrong person. Delilah was his lost sister.

But she couldn't summon the strength to ask anything at the moment. She closed her eyes tightly, trying to calm herself down and dispel the discomfort in her body.

She didn't even have the energy to argue anymore. She could only curl up and lean against the seat. Fortunately, she had applied some blush and lipstick before leaving, so no one could see her pale face. Seeing that she refused to speak, Alexander assumed she was throwing a tantrum and ignored her. However, his heart continued to beat unsteadily.

The car arrived at Sterling's residence, and Aveline was extremely weak. She didn't want to move a single step.

Alexander had already left, and Lucas opened the car door and asked softly, "Madam, are you feeling unwell?"

Before Aveline could deny it, Alexander stood outside the door, looking down on her with sarcasm. "You keep using these tricks, thinking that if you act weak, I'll soften up?"

Over the past year, she had indeed used the strategy of pretending to be weak to make Alexander change

his mind.

But the boy who cried wolf ended up getting eaten by the wolf, and he no longer believed her.

After waiting for a few seconds and seeing that she didn't get out of the car, Alexander grew impatient. "If you don't want me to go after the Locksley family, you better get out of the car immediately."

Aveline had just sent a message to Ryan and hadn't received a response yet. She didn't know how badly Ryan was injured, so she gritted her teeth and got out of the car.

As soon as her toes touched the ground, a cold gust of wind rushed towards her. Aveline's legs went weak, and she suddenly felt her vision darken as her body collapsed to the ground.
