Chapter 378
Aveline returned to the alley not far from the Blackwood family villa where she lived when she was a child. It was an old street, and many shops there had become signboards. There was an endless stream of people in the alley, and it was full of chit chats.
She walked into Just Ask Supermart. The last time she went there was before she got married. There were not many people there at that time. The shop owner saw her and greeted her warmly.
“Miss Blackwood hasn’t been here in a long time.”
“Yes, your business is still booming as well as ever.”
“It’s all thanks to you. Is it the same order?”
“Yes, I want two portions packed.”
“Okay, wait a moment.”
After Aveline finished speaking, she went to the nearby shop to buy some pastries. Elizabeth hadn’t eaten them in more than ten years, so she must have missed them very much.
When she hurried back to the packing place carrying large and small bags, she accidentally bumped into someone.
“Sorry.” Aveline apologized hastily.
When she looked up, she saw an extremely handsome face, and she exclaimed: “It’s you.”
The man’s eyes fell on her face, and a flash of surprise flashed in his eyes, “You…”
This person was the one Aveline rushed to the hospital. She was in a hurry to go to the cemetery that day and left in a hurry before he woke up.
“Are you feeling better?” Aveline asked. His face still showed a little weakness. His thin body was wrapped in an expensive suit, and
his weakness could not hide under his elegance.
He didn’t answer. Seeing the shock on his face, Aveline introduced herself: “The day you got knocked down, I was the one who took you to the hospital.”
Only then did the man come back to his senses and murmured: “You look so familiar.”
“What?”
“No, thank you very much for what you did that day. I wonder if you are free, in order to thank you for saving my life, I would like to
invite you to have lunch with me.”
Aveline waved her hand, “No, it’s a trivial matter. I’ll leave first now I have something else to do. However, I don’t think your health is stable yet, so you’d better check it out.”
As she said that, she was about to go around the man and leave. The man took a step back and said, “It’s a small thing for you, but it’s a life–saving grace for me. It doesn’t matter if you are not free now. I can wait for you to be free. This is my business card, please contact me whenever you are ready or have a request.”
He originally wanted to ask for her contact information, but he was afraid of being regarded as a pervert who wanted to take an

opportunity to hit on her.
Aveline took the business card and said, “Okay, I will contact you another day. Goodbye.”
She left in a hurry, and the man looked at her leaving figure with a look of confusion in his eyes again. She looked so familiar.
A gust of cold wind blew, and he coughed lightly while placing a hand against his lips.
His assistant who had parked the car quickly stepped forward to help him, “Master, it’s windy outside, please get in the car now.”
“Okay.” The man looked back again and finally left reluctantly.
As Aveline was waiting for the wonton dumplings, she looked at the business card in her hand, Evan Blackwood, CEO of Everest
Group of Companies.
Even though Aveline has been busy being a housewife in the past few years, she was familiar with Everest Group of Companies, a multinational group of companies ranked among the top ten in the world.
Unexpectedly, the person she rescued turned out to be the CEO of the company, Evan Blackwood.
In the early years, she had heard Alexander mention something about how he could see Evan looking haggard and sick and even fainting occasionally.
“Miss Blackwood, your wontons.” The voice of the shop owner brought her back from her thoughts.
Aveline finally came back to her senses and said, “Okay, thank you.”
She grabbed the food and hurriedly got into the car. She didn’t drive very far when Lucas frowned and said, “Madam, we are being
targeted.”
Could it be that the other party was so arrogant and wanted to kill her in broad daylight?
Aveline looked toward the rear in the reflector. It was a Mulsanne car.
How could anyone assassinate someone else driving such a luxury car?
“Don’t be afraid, madam, I’ve been prepared.” Lucas connected his Bluetooth headset and dialed the other bodyguards‘ number on
the spot.
“There is someone who is following our car who is risking his life. Please deal with it and don’t let him get away.”
