"And that line he used earlier, 'Don't you like my face?'-ugh, it's unbelievable. He'll do anything to get what he wants." Selena sat beside her, thinking about what Lucas had said to Aveline earlier, and couldn't help but shiver in disgust.

Aveline fell silent for a moment.

It really seemed like Lucas was behaving strangely. Had he realized that she had a weak spot for his face and was deliberately using that against her?

Thinking more about what Selena said, it did seem to make sense. His behavior over the past few days wasn't much different from before.

When Aveline first met Lucas, he seemed lost and out of place, yet he trusted her without reason. If she suggested he read, he would do it. He was a remarkably quick learner, swiftly mastering sign language and handwriting. He'd often sit quietly on the living room sofa, absorbed in a book...

Aveline abruptly shut her eyes, forcing herself to stop thinking about it. Those days were in the past.

The Lucas of today wasn't going to lose his memory again.

In the following days, news of the successful merger between the Tudor family and DK Enterprises dominated the headlines, solidifying the Tudor family's position as the leading enterprise in Cloudflare City.

Lucas' mood was noticeably sour. Everyone could sense it because whenever he appeared, his expression was always cold and grim.

Aveline attributed his mood to the company's affairs.

Even though he claimed not to care, that company was his hard work and passion. Watching it be taken away, who could truly remain calm? However, she didn't dwell on it. Whether he was heartbroken or upset had nothing to do with her.
