Aveline paused, her finger hovering over the elevator button as she asked, "So what should I do?"

Russell thought for a moment before suggesting, "Maybe I should assign a few more bodyguards to you?"

Aveline couldn't help but imagine the scene of being escorted by a whole squad of bodyguards every time she went out, and she let out a small, exasperated laugh.

"It's not something I want, but this young lady showed up at the hospital out of nowhere, causing trouble and trying to evict my colleague's mother. They don't even know each other, so why would she do this?"

Russell replied, "Then you need to think about who might be targeting your colleague, even to the point of using someone else to do the dirty work."

As Aveline stepped into the elevator, her expression turned cold. Who else could it be? The only person who had been consistently targeting Sidney was Lucas.

Since Ruth was at the Skyler family's hospital, Lucas couldn't act directly, so he resorted to using others to do his bidding. Now that she had clashed with Rina, Rina would certainly make Sidney's life even harder.

A deep sense of frustration washed over Aveline.

Russell spoke up again, "I'll have some people stationed at the hospital to protect them. Don't worry."

Aveline managed a small smile and said, "Russ, you've helped me so much already. I don't even know how to repay you."

"That's easy." Russell chuckled. "Just marry me."
