Chapter 243
The relationship between Aveline and Alexander has become more complicated than before.
Alexander’s intentions towards her are unclear, sometimes clinging to her and then pushing her away. But she knows she can’t afford to break things off with Alexander right now.
Aveline has a feeling that the mastermind behind the scenes is trying to drive her out of the Sterling family by blowing things out of proportion. After all, those two photos don’t contain any substantial content, at most they just tarnish her reputation, but it’s enough to catch the attention of Nora.
If Aveline’s guess is correct, Nora was lured here by those photos. As long as she speaks up, Alexander, in order to avoid suspicion, will kick her out of the company.
The mastermind behind the scenes might have sensed that she was investigating this matter, which is why they used Nora to keep her away from the Sterling family.
Alexander is the only lifeline she can grab onto.
Aveline lightly touches his chest with her fingers, her expression tinged with sadness. “Even if I want to, what can I do? At this point, if Nora says a word, will you still care about my well–being?”
Alexander gazes at Aveline’s beautiful and delicate face, devoid of the usual smile and color. Many times her face is pale, just like now, like a paper person, as if she would collapse with a gust of wind.
Her long eyelashes droop, casting a faint shadow.
Somehow, Alexander thought of the day she had a nosebleed.
“What’s really wrong with your body?”
Since she said she had a cold three months ago, Alexander has noticed that every time they meet,
she never looks well.
Aveline is surprised, did he notice something?
“You didn’t see my medical report? What could be wrong with me?”
Alexander rubs his forehead, “Really nothing?”

“If I were seriously ill, would you regret what you’ve done to me?” Aveline looks at him with interest.
Alexander’s heart sinks, but he glimpses the smile between her eyebrows and knows she’s just
joking.
“No, I wouldn’t. I would make the same choice if I had to do it all over again.”
He sees the light in Aveline’s eyes dimming little by little.
Alexander licks his lips and changes the subject, “I’ve already arranged for the acquisition and integration of a part of the Chawitz Corporation. If you want to start over, you can take over in a
while.”
Chawitz Corporation is the company that reinvested in the Blackwood Corporation after the bankruptcy announcement, but the financial situation has been bad in recent years due to the broken funding chain and poor business operations.
Alexander spent a lot of money to reorganize the original industries of the Blackwood family, which can be considered as not treating Aveline unfairly.
“How long will it take?” Aveline pretends to be interested.
“At least a month.”
A month is enough for her to find out the truth.
“Okay.” Aveline quickly adds before he speaks, “Can I stay here for this month?”
Alexander’s deep gaze keeps wandering on her face, and Aveline meets his gaze, not daring to show any hint of guilt.
She bites her lip and tugs at his sleeve under his probing gaze, “I don’t want to stay at home every day, can I spend time at the Sterling Corporation and learn some workplace rules? Is that okay?”
Her voice is coquettish, “Alexander, I want you-”
Alexander’s gaze stiffens, his hand around her waist tightens, and Aveline quickly adds, “As my
support.”
As she finishes speaking, Alexander’s lips land on hers.

Aveline widens her eyes, Alexander’s kiss is forceful, not giving her any room to escape, and his hand on her waist almost burns her to ashes.
Just then, Jordan’s voice comes from outside, “Miss Kingsley, President Sterling is busy right now.”
