After the CEO Divorced Me, He Wants Me Back by Riverflow

"No way!"

At that moment, Juliet burst into the room.

Gernard frowned as he saw her. "Juliet, were you eavesdropping on us?"

Her eyes flickered briefly before she spoke. "I came to ask if you wanted to go out for dinner, not to eavesdrop. Gernard, you can't tell Lucas about this! If you do, he'll definitely go rescue Aveline, and then they'll be even more entangled. What about me?" Gernard looked at his sister's sweet face. He had always indulged her, spoiling her even to the point of meddling in Aveline's life, trying to persuade her to divorce Lucas at Juliet's request. But now, a strange sense of irritation crept into his heart. "So, what you're suggesting is that Lucas should never find Aveline?" he asked, his tone cold.

Of course! If Aveline disappeared forever, it would be perfect!

But Juliet couldn't say that out loud.

"I really, really like Lucas," she said, her voice pleading.

"Now that he's divorced, we're both single. I'm going to try my best to win his heart. If he falls in love with me, it would benefit both the Tudor and Cooper families-we'd be stronger together. But if you tell Lucas where Aveline is, he'll go rescue her. "What if she plays the victim and acts pitiful? Lucas will definitely soften, and they'll get tangled up again. I don't want my future husband to still be caught up with his ex-wife. Please, Gernard, just stay out of this, okay?"
