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

As Aveline unlocked the door, she said, "I don't know yet. I called him, but he didn't answer. What is certain, though, is that someone is targeting us." Selena followed her inside, frowning. "Aren't they going after him? What does this have to do with you?"

Aveline pressed her lips together slightly. "I have a feeling things aren't as simple as they seem."

Selena sighed. "Oh, my dear, you're scaring me. Why does it sound like it's getting more complicated?"

Aveline sighed helplessly. "We still don't know what the other side wants, so we'll just have to take it step by step. But I'll be fine."

At least for now, all the moves seemed aimed at Lucas.

Selena took out her phone. "I'll ask Aaron to help investigate and see what's really going on."

Aveline replied, "He and Lucas are like brothers. Don't you think he's already involved?"

"True enough," Selena said, putting down her phone. "I suddenly feel so powerless, like there's nothing I can do to help."

Aveline smiled and said, "Just focus on our own things and don't get involved. That's the best way to help them."

When the front lines are on fire, the rear must stay stable. Otherwise, getting hit from both sides would overwhelm anyone.

"Yeah, you're right," Selena agreed.

Aveline asked, "Have you eaten?"

Selena shook her head. "I saw the news and came straight over. I even had a fight with my boss over it. That lousy boss of mine, always obsessed with meetings! Every day it's another meeting about pointless stuff; it's so annoying." Listening to her rant, Aveline felt oddly more at ease and said, "All bosses are like that. Just bear with it."

Selena slumped into the sofa. "Yeah, I guess there's no other choice."

Aveline went to the kitchen and quickly cooked some pasta. Before long, she called Selena to the dining area to eat.

After their meal, the two of them kept an eye on the situation, watching the news on their phones.

This time, the response was the same as before.

The Tudor Group did not issue an immediate clarification; instead, they maintained a wait-and-see attitude.

It was almost comical-just that morning, netizens had been apologizing over the clarified video and by the afternoon, they were already back to their usual insults, not even waiting until the next day to change their tune.

Selena put down her phone, exasperated. "I can't watch this anymore. They're all nuts." Aveline, however, continued to watch.

Seeing Aveline's unreadable expression, Selena asked, "Ave, what do you plan to do next?" Aveline looked up and replied, "I think I'll start a live stream and clear things up." Selena's eyes widened in shock, and she immediately tried to dissuade her.

"No, you can't do that! If you start a live stream now, all the backlash will be directed at you. Don't do this! At least Lucas has the Tudor Group and a professional PR team. We have nothing! If you draw their attention, they will come after you, and it won't be hard for them to find you."

Fearing that Aveline was serious, Selena grabbed her hand/ "Didn't you just say we should focus on our own things and not make it worse for them?" Aveline was amused by Selena's anxious reaction. She put down her phone and said, "I was just kidding. Why are you so worked up?"

Selena remained serious. "How can

you joke about something like this?

You were clearly thinking about it and planning to go through with it. I'm telling you, no way, absolutely not!
