Semua Bab After the CEO Divorced Me, He Wants Me Back: Bab 391 - Bab 400

"Aveline, my people took Selena, but I don't know where she is now. I'm sending someone to find her." He explained that his men had indeed taken Selena and that there was a traitor among his subordinates. They still needed to find out who had ordered Selena's abduction, but for now, he needed to clarify things with her."I only found out about this when you told me," Lucas said in a deep voice.Aveline's eyelashes fluttered, and her fingers curled slightly. She asked softly, "How could your people take Selena without you knowing?"She felt he was lying to her. He knew that Selena was her weakness. As long as he had Selena, he could make her do anything he wanted.Lucas' expression darkened as he walked directly in front of her. "So, you don't believe me?"Aveline didn't respond, which was as good as admitting it.Lucas grew increasingly agitated, his expression becoming even more grim. "Aveline, this has nothing to do with me," he said coldly.Aveline said, "Then find her quickly,

The car sped along the highway as the sky gradually darkened. Selena's hands and feet were once again bound, and she was thrown onto the back seat.Aaron's expression was far from pleasant; he was in a terrible mood. How did he end up in such a mess? What if this woman died on his watch? He certainly didn't want to go to jail!They arrived at the nearest villa, and Aaron carried Selena inside. The butler, upon seeing this scene, was utterly shocked."Mr. Aaron, w-we can't do anything illegal! If Mrs. Fletchers finds out about this, she'll faint!" The butler followed Aaron, trembling and pleading earnestly.It didn't look good at all. The girl was tied up, her cheeks flushed, eyes hazy, and mumbling incoherently, clearly against her will.The butler had watched Aaron grow up. As a child, Aaron had been adorable, but he had become quite reckless as he grew older. Still, he had never done anything immoral like this, and it couldn't start now!Aaron glanced at the butler strangely. "Do you

In the car, Lucas glanced at Aveline, noticing her still sour mood. "What now? Even though I wasn't the one who had Selena taken, you're still upset with me?"Aveline looked up at him. "Don't you think Selena has a point?"Lucas' thin lips curled into a mocking smile. "In your eyes, everything she says is always right, isn't it?"Aveline fell silent; it was true. Selena had always looked out for her from the start.Lucas pulled a cigarette from his pocket, lit it, and half-closed his eyes. "Don't even think about divorce. I'll have Brian protect you in secret, and I'll assign a few bodyguards to you as well."Aveline said, "That's quite a bit of trouble. It must cost a lot of money."Lucas glanced at her. "I have money."Aveline chuckled lightly. The smell of smoke suddenly irritated her, and she reached out, grabbed his cigarette, and tossed it out the window.His fingers were left empty.Lucas looked at her in surprise.This was the first time she had taken his cigarette away.His ga

Aveline nodded. "Okay."She then turned to Selena. "Come with me.""No way.”"Absolutely not."Two voices spoke at the same time. One was Selena's, who shot a look of disdain at Lucas. "There's no way I'm staying under the same roof as him. I'd be tempted to stab him in his sleep, and I don't want to go to jail."Aveline was speechless.Lucas' face hardened. "Just throw her in the basement and let her sleep with those guys for a night.""You bastard..." Selena nearly exploded.Aveline quickly intervened, "Let's take you home first."At that moment, Aaron's voice chimed in, "I'll take her."Selena looked at him suspiciously, "Is there any hidden motive behind your kind offer?"Aaron laughed in exasperation. "I saved your life, didn't I? What do you think?"Selena muttered something under her breath, but no one caught it.Aveline thought for a moment and said, "I'll take her. I’ll feel better knowing she got home safely."Aaron replied, "I brought her back safely. What more reassurance d

Hoping to forge a beneficial connection, these companies were eager to bring their projects to the studio. They were betting that Aveline had a genuine relationship with Lucas, which could earn them favor and be highly advantageous for their own businesses.Aveline remained composed, saying, "If we have projects, then let's work on them."Maria smiled. "Looks like you're our studio's lucky charm. I'll make sure to invite you to all such events from now on."Aveline smiled back. "But we might not always run into Desmond."Maria's eyes sparkled. "No worries, your presence alone is enough."Aveline didn't say more and returned to her workstation, diving into her tasks. The initial drafts she had submitted had already been approved, and the clients were arranging to visit the studio to discuss contracts.Aveline became extremely busy and hadn't seen Lucas for an entire week. Their argument that night had further strained their already fragile relationship.Selena finally managed to arrange
