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

No one responded to her hysterical outburst.

Aveline felt like she was going mad! She had been played!

Not only had she failed to see Annie, but now she was utterly helpless, and her vision was gone!

What should she do? What could she do next?

Confusion, helplessness, self-blame, regret...

These emotions overwhelmed her, swallowing her whole. She crouched down in pain, hugging herself as her body trembled uncontrollably.

Meanwhile, Baron and Braden circled the mall several times but still couldn't find Aveline. They realized something had gone wrong!

Baron quickly reported the situation to Lucas, while Braden contacted Maria and hacked into the mall's surveillance system to search for Aveline. Lucas' expression was dark and stormy.

Watching the surveillance footage, he saw Aveline enter the women's restroom. Less than ten minutes later, a woman with a similar build, heavily disguised, emerged. He immediately said, "Switch the camera, follow her!"

"Got it," Maria replied, her fingers working quickly on the keyboard, though she couldn't help but wonder, "What was Aveline up to? Why would she go through so much trouble to shake off the people Lucas had assigned to protect her? Where was she going?"

The surveillance footage continued to follow Aveline's disguised figure, switching from camera to camera, tracking her to the outskirts of the city.

Maria then said, "There's no surveillance beyond this point. We can't track her location for now."

Lucas' voice was tense. "Her phone has GPS tracking."

Maria shot him a surprised glance. "You installed a tracker on her phone? Aren't you worried she might find out?"

Lucas gave her a cold stare. "Is this really the time to discuss that?"

"Oh, right." Maria quickly snapped back to attention and began to trace Aveline's phone location.

"Got it!"

Maria's voice quickly rang out, pointing to a location on the computer screen. "She's here!"

Lucas's expression remained cold. "Prepare the car!"

Desmond responded, "Already ready. We can leave now."

Forty minutes later, several cars pulled up to the entrance of a small compound.

Desmond led the team inside. Moments later, he emerged, his face grim, holding Aveline's phone.

"Mr. Tudor, the phone is here, but she isn't," he reported.

Lucas stared at Aveline's phone, his expression dark and menacing, the chill around him almost palpable. Desmond didn't dare to make a sound.

No matter what happened with the Tudor Group, Lucas always seemed calm and unruffled. That was

because he simply didn't care about the Tudor Group.

But Aveline was different.

He cared deeply about Aveline. Even the slightest scratch on her would make him nervous.

And now, she had completely disappeared!

What was worse, she had purposely shaken off the people he had assigned to protect her! What did that mean?

Was she that desperate to get away from him?

Lucas closed his eyes briefly and then spoke in a low voice, "Search the entire area. Deploy people to monitor all entrances and exits by land, sea, and air. Don't let a single suspicious person slip by!"

"Yes!" Desmond nodded firmly.

Lucas took Aveline's phone, his fingers tightening around it, his knuckles white.

What did she mean by this? Divorced and already trying to run away?

Was he really that unbearable to her?

At that moment, his phone rang.

He pulled it out and saw that Aaron was calling.

"Hello?" he answered, his tone icy.

Aaron's voice came through, "What's going on? I heard from Maria that Aveline is missing. What the hell happened?"

But Lucas, ignoring the question, asked in a steady voice, "Where's Selena?"
