Chapter 683
Lucas's voice turned icy. "If you don't fire him, you can kiss your studio goodbye."
But Maria remained unfazed. "Go ahead, but if I lose my studio, Aveline loses her job. And once she discovers our connection, she'll never forgive you."
Lucas was momentarily speechless.
His subordinates had become defiant.This content belongs to Nô/velDra/ma.Org .
Maria, sensing her advantage, continued with a smug smile, "Boss, Sidney's actually quite decent. But don't worry, nothing you're concerned about will happen because I've got my eye on him." That seemed to put Lucas at ease.
He ended the call without another word. Maria looked at her phone, unable to suppress a grin. She glanced up and saw Sidney diligently working on a drawing outside her office.
Aveline drove back to Maple Garden, and sure enough, she spotted the man standing at the entrance of the complex.
Selena was inside, arms crossed. When she saw Aveline's car pull up, she quickly ran over.
Aveline parked the car, got out, and asked, "When did you spot him?"
Selena replied, "I saw him when I went downstairs to buy some snacks. He's been standing there the whole time. I even went over to say hi, but he didn't recognize me." Aveline glanced at her. "I don't think he knew you in the first place."
Selena chuckled. "Oh, right. But the way he looks reminds me so much of the first time I met that jerk Lucas."
"Did he perhaps lose his memory?" Aveline thought back to when he woke up in the hospital, that confused expression-he really did seem to have lost his memory. Later, when the police questioned him about his identity, he couldn't provide any answers.
Aveline walked over. "Hey!"
The man looked up at the sound of her voice, and the moment he saw her, his eyes lit up.
"Well, well, that familiar reaction," Selena muttered softly from the side.
Aveline observed his state, frowning slightly. "What are you doing here?"
The man shook his head. "I... don't know. I was just walking and ended up here."
Aveline asked, "What's your name?"
He shook his head again. "I don't remember."
Perfect. He really did suffer from a memory loss.
But really, what did it have to do with her?
Aveline asked, "Where are the police? Didn't they find your family?"
The man replied, "The police said I don't have any family."
Aveline was at a loss.
This situation was becoming more complicated.
Still, leaving him out here wasn't a solution either.
Aveline suggested, "I'll take you to
the police station. They can

find your family."
But the man looked at her with pitiful eyes. "Can you take me in instead?"
Aveline hesitated. "Sorry, that's not really an option."
He looked confused. "Why not?"
Aveline replied, "Because I don't know you."
The man countered, "But the moment I saw you, you felt so familiar. I think I do know you."
Selena couldn't help but chuckle, nudging Aveline's arm. "Looks like he's planning to cling to you. But seriously, Ave, are you sure you don't want to take him in? He's gota pretty good face, you know."
Aveline gave her a helpless look. "Don't you think I've got enough on my plate already?" Selena grinned. "Life's dull. A little excitement wouldn't hurt."
Aveline's gaze shifted back to the man's face. He was undeniably

In fact, at certain angles, the two men bore a striking resemblance.
