บททั้งหมดของ After the CEO Divorced Me, He Wants Me Back: บทที่ 381 - บทที่ 390

Selena grabbed Aveline's hand. "No apology! I'm not apologizing to scum like her. If they want to detain me, so be it!"Aveline looked at her, feeling a pang of sadness. If the Tudor family got involved, it wouldn't just be a simple 15-day detention.Selena had completely offended Lucas. How would she survive in Cloudflare City in the future?Aveline held her hand gently and said, "Selena, I don't want you to be detained."Selena frowned. "But..."Aveline turned to Lucas, her tone softening. "Lucas, it really was Miss Chew who provoked us first. You can check the surveillance footage. Selena was just defending me. If you send her to the police, are you saying you don't want anyone protecting me in the future? You might as well send me in too."The cold expression on Lucas' face faltered slightly as he looked at her softened demeanor, but he still felt uncomfortable.He stared at her deeply, about to say something when Moon spoke up from behind him. "Mr. Tudor, I really don't know how I

Aveline glared at him furiously. "Where did you take Selena? Lucas, our issues are between us. Can you not drag others into it?"Lucas sneered. "What right does she have meddling in our affairs?"Aveline was trembling with rage.Lucas, however, didn't want to argue in public. He dragged her out of the mall and forcefully shoved her into the car.Aveline struggled. "Lucas, let Selena go!"Lucas held her shoulders firmly and said coldly, "If you want me to release her, you'd better behave and satisfy me. Then I'll let her go."Aveline looked at him, feeling as if he was a stranger.Once inside the car, away from prying eyes, Lucas' expression remained icy and grim.Aveline tried to calm herself. "Lucas, today was my fault. I shouldn't have slapped Miss Chew or spoken to her like that. Can you please let Selena go?"Her quick submission didn't bring Lucas any satisfaction.He stared at her intensely. "Is divorce the only thing on your mind?"Aveline's eyelashes fluttered, but she said not

Selena looked at her, then suddenly shook her head. "Ave, what's the point of explaining all this?"Aveline sighed. "Stop provoking him. You won't win."Selena fell silent.Though unwilling to admit it, she knew it was true.Cloudflare City was Lucas' domain. He could make her disappear without a trace if he wished.Aveline continued, "Selena, I will find a way to deal with my situation with him, but I don't want you involved. I don't want you to become my weakness."Selena hugged her tightly. "But Ave, if I'm not there with you, you'll be all alone. That jerk will take advantage of you."Aveline's eyes grew warm, and she sniffled. "It's okay. Once I divorce him, even if he begs, I won't even look at him.”"That's the spirit!" Selena clapped her hands.The two of them strolled around the garden, reminiscing about amusing past events.Time passed quickly.When Aveline looked up, she saw Lucas standing on the balcony of the second floor, watching her.Even from this distance, she could s

Maria turned to Jackson. "What do you mean by this?"Jackson smirked. "I want her to sit and talk with me. If she doesn't, you might as well shut down your studio."His attitude was arrogant, completely dismissing Maria and Aveline. It was clear his target was Aveline.Maria's expression darkened.Aveline stepped forward and asked, "Sir, I don't believe we know each other."Jackson replied, "Doesn't matter. I know you. Come, sit here." He patted his thigh.Laughter erupted around them. Jackson's friends and bodyguards watched Aveline with malicious intent, while the other guests at the party stayed away, clearly aware of Jackson's identity and preferring not to get involved.Aveline's face also darkened.This man seemed to have a powerful background. She lowered her eyes slightly, then took out her phone and dialed a number.Jackson scoffed, "What? Calling for help? I want to see who you're calling. In Cloudflare City, who dares to interfere with what I want to do!""Lucas," Aveline's

Aveline froze, instinctively turning to look at him. The dim light inside the car cast shadows over his face, making it difficult to read his expression. She opened her mouth but felt lost."I don't know either," she said softly.As an orphan, she had never seen how parents interacted and therefore didn't know what a good husband or father looked like. But Lucas came from a complete family. How could he not know?Aveline wanted to ask, but given their current relationship, it seemed unnecessary. Even if she knew, what difference would it make?Lucas spoke in a low voice, "Since neither of us knows, let's just get by. Why complicate things with so many demands?"Aveline remained silent. The atmosphere in the car was stifling.Just then, her phone rang. She looked at the screen and saw it was Selena calling."Hello, Selena," she answered, thinking Selena had finished packing and was ready to leave.Instead, Selena's voice was frantic. "Ave, Lucas' people are trying to take me away! I—" H
