After the CEO Divorced Me, He Wants Me Back (Aveline and Lucas) novel Chapter 1050

As soon as Jason Lowe got home, he told his mother, Wendy Evans, all about what had happened at lunch.

Wendy immediately passed the news on to Daisy, saying, "Oh Daisy, Jolie is really something! I didn’t realize she knew Mr. Cooper! You should’ve told me earlier—we’re friends, after all!

“If I’d known she had that connection, we could’ve avoided all those setbacks. You should talk to Jolie. Let’s arrange a dinner with Mr. Cooper for both our families. It’ll help strengthen ties and make the partnership even smoother."

Jolie, observing her mother’s bright, eager expression, could already guess what she was thinking.

She frowned slightly and said, "That guy from the Lowe family basically told me that if I 'entertained' him, he’d consider giving the Quin family a bit more influence in the deal."

Daisy’s smile vanished instantly.

"How outrageous!"

Her expression darkened with anger.

She had never imagined Jason would be so shameless and despicable. Jolie was the daughter she had carefully nurtured for over a decade—there was no way she’d let a man like him lay a hand on her.

"I never imagined he’d be that kind of person. We’re cutting all ties with him," Daisy said firmly. "He really needs to take a good look in the mirror—thinking he stands a chance with you? What a pathetic creep aiming way out of his league."

Jolie remained silent, her gaze lowered. She didn’t feel the need to engage further.

After venting her anger, Daisy softened and said, "Jolie, Jason’s a creep, but Mr. Cooper is different. He even had lunch with you today, which shows you hold a special place in his mind. You need to stay in touch with him and maintain that connection."

Jolie frowned, feeling her mother’s double standards.

She stood up. "I’m a bit tired. I’ll head upstairs and rest."

The scenes shifted, and finally, she found herself staring at a shaking crystal chandelier. Heat surrounded her, and a pair of strong hands gripped her waist with a force that felt like they might break her in two.

“No… stop…” she murmured, drifting in and out of consciousness.

Meanwhile, in a luxury apartment near Cooper Enterprises, Gavin abruptly opened his eyes. He glanced down, seeing the mess between his legs. Recalling the vivid dream, he rubbed his temples and got up to strip the sheets, tossing them straight into the trash.

The next morning, Jolie was heading out when she found Daisy arranging flowers downstairs.

"Morning, Mom," Jolie greeted as she made her way toward the door.

“Wait a minute, Jolie,” Daisy called, setting down her tools and pulling Jolie to sit with her on the sofa.

"I’ve been thinking about it all night, and I’m sure Mr. Cooper was helping you out yesterday, wasn’t he? It’s only right that we show our gratitude. Why don’t you reach out to him and see when he’s available? We should invite him to dinner to properly thank him."
