Semua Bab After the CEO Divorced Me, He Wants Me Back: Bab 521 - Bab 530

By the time Sophia realized that everything she had bought was defective, it would be too late to hold anyone accountable as those involved would have already disappeared. The people Sasha had arranged to contact Sophia were all from shell companies, specializing in scams.Aveline's eyes brightened as she asked, "How much did she invest?"Sasha couldn't hide her amusement. "She put in all the available funds of her company."Aveline was surprised that Sophia had gambled so recklessly. All her investment had now gone down the drain.Sasha continued, "This failure is a significant blow to her. Not only did she fail to deliver results, but her company now needs family support to stay afloat. My father is very disappointed in her and has ordered her to secure Lucas. Aveline, the next step is up to you."Aveline took a deep breath and said, "Got it."After hanging up, a look of determination appeared in her eyes. She could ignore many things, but she had to settle this score. If Sophia wan

Aveline paused, wondering if he had forgotten about what happened before."Let's meet and talk," she said.Lucas, feeling the stinging pain on his body, replied with the same cold tone, "Fine."He hung up and sent her a message, instructing her to come to the Tudor residence.Aveline saw the message and frowned. The events of that night had left her with a strong aversion to the Tudor residence, but at this point, she had no choice.Lucas's tone seemed cold and impatient, which made her feel even more frustrated. How could he be the one lacking patience? It was his idea to pretend.Aveline gathered her composure and set off for the Tudor residence.The butler greeted her with a smile. "Mrs. Tudor, would you like something to drink?""Just water," Aveline replied.The butler nodded and instructed someone to bring it. Aveline waited patiently.About half an hour later, Lucas' tall figure appeared in the room. Aveline looked at him and stood up. "I'm here to talk about what happened last

The butler noticed the servant returning alone and immediately asked, "Where is Mrs. Tudor?"The servant hesitated but eventually repeated what Aveline had said.The butler sighed heavily and glanced at the unconscious man on the sofa. Lucas' brow was furrowed, and even in his unconscious state, he kept murmuring Aveline's name."Aveline, don't go. Aveline..."But Aveline couldn't hear him....Aveline went to the supermarket, bought groceries, and started cooking at home. While preparing the fish, Russell called her. She answered, "Russ, I'm cooking. Have you had dinner? Do you want to come over and join us?"Russell smiled. "Sure, I haven't had your cooking in a while. I'd love to."Aveline said, "Then come over.""Alright," Russell replied before hanging up.About half an hour later, Russell arrived with Selena.Aveline stood at the door, smiling at Selena. Selena pouted, then suddenly ran over and hugged her. "You didn't contact me for so long. I thought you didn't want me anymor

Aveline paused, realizing she hadn’t considered that possibility before. What if the person never made a move and just continued lurking in the shadows, watching them?Russell smiled and said, "That's why this plan is flawed. The stronger your relationship with Lucas appears, and the more protection you receive, the harder it will be for the person to strike."Aveline pressed her lips together. Had Lucas deceived her again?Russell continued, "Instead of trying to provoke the person this way, it's better to observe and see if they are bothered by your relationship or targeting you specifically."Selena nodded. "I agree with Russ."Aveline asked, "But what if they're targeting me?"Russell replied, "That's easy. I'll assign someone to protect you and ensure you aren't harmed."Selena gave him a thumbs up. "Russ, you're a true hero!"Russell's lips twitched slightly, and then he added, "Since you’ve decided not to cooperate with Lucas, you need to be prepared to expose yourself to the pe

Aveline put her phone aside and took another sip of water before returning to the bedroom to shower and sleep.At the hospital, the lights were still on in Lucas' room. Lucas stared at the ended call on his phone, his handsome face tightening with a grim expression. A heavy, oppressive silence slowly filled the room.Suddenly, the door opened. Lucas instinctively looked over, but when he saw it was Aaron entering, he frowned and looked away."Well, you seem disappointed to see me," Aaron remarked as he walked in and sat down in a chair. He still smelled faintly of alcohol, clearly having just come from a bar.Lucas closed his eyes briefly, his face still rather pale. The whip wounds on his body had been treated, but he had lost consciousness earlier due to infection and high fever from the injuries.Aaron said, "You're already divorced Aveline, so why are you still hoping she'll come see you? From what I can tell, she'd rather stay far away from you."Lucas replied in a cold, hoarse
