Chapter 832
Lucas opened the car door and asked, "Coming with me?"
Aveline nodded and got in without hesitation.
A sense of unease crept into her heart.
With Annie missing, there would be no way to completely turn around the online backlash.
If it continued unchecked, it would have a major impact on the Tudor Group.
What outcome was the opposition aiming for?
Forcing Lucas to leave the Tudor Group?
What else?
She had a feeling that it wasn't so simple.
Soon, they arrived at the hospital, which was unusually crowded today.
Many passersby were hovering around, glancing inside and whispering among themselves.
Lucas and Aveline paid no attention to the onlookers and headed straight into the hospital.
Desmond had already contacted Maria, who was investigating the surveillance footage both inside and outside the hospital. They finally spotted a familiar face-Yvonne's assistant, Zack Jones. Lucas' voice was cold. "Bring him here."
Desmond replied, "The moment I identified Zack, I sent people to find him, but he's already left the country. He boarded a plane just half an hour ago." Perfect.
It was now almost certain that Yvonne had orchestrated Annie's disappearance.
Lucas' expression darkened. "Where is Yvonne?"
Desmond answered, "Mrs. Tudor has returned to the Skyler family, and our people can't even get access to anyone from the Skylers."
Trisha Betsy, the matriarch of the Skyler family, and Yvonne were sisters.
Naturally, Yvonne would turn to her sister when things went wrong.
Lucas let out a cold laugh. "Quite a well-planned move."
Desmond, still uncertain, asked, "Mr. Tudor, what should we do now?"
Even though they knew Yvonne had taken Annie, they couldn't force their way into the Skyler family to get Yvonne out.
The trail had gone cold.
Lucas replied calmly, "Contact Mrs. Skyler. Ask her if she wants to know the whereabouts of her younger son."
Trisha had two sons. The elder son had died in a car accident some time ago, which was why the Skyler family head had brought Russell,
back to groom him. The young ne
son had gone missing in his early childhood, and despite years of searching, he had never been found.
Desmond looked at Lucas, somewhat surprised. "Mr. Tudor, have you found Mrs. Skyler's younger son?"
Lucas replied, "Just follow my instructions."
"Yes, sir!" Desmond quickly responded and went to contact Trisha.
Now it was up to Trisha to choose between her younger son and her sister.
Aveline stood by, having heard the entire conversation. She finally asked, "Is this situation very tricky?"
Lucas glanced at her and said, "If you give me a kiss, I'll tell you."
Aveline gave him a look of disbelief and turned away, pretending she hadn't heard anything. Seeing how calm he was, she realized her worry was unnecessary.
At that moment, her phone rang.
She took it out and saw that Gernard was calling.
She frowned slightly, wondering what he wanted this time.
"Hello?" she answered.
Gernard's concerned voice came through. "Aveline, how have you been lately?" Aveline replied, "I'm fine."
Gernard didn't beat around the bush
and went straight to the point. "I've been following the recent situation with the Tudor Group, and I understand the key person is that girl, fight? I know where she is."

Aveline's eyes turned cold. "How do you know where she is?"
Gernard explained, "I told you, I've been following this matter too. I thought I might be able to help you."
Aveline asked, "Mr. Cooper, what's the price for your help?"
