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

Aveline's lips tightened as she dialed Selena's number, but it kept going unanswered.

They had just parted ways not long ago, so why would she go to Moonlight Tower?

Recalling what she had said earlier, Aveline's breathing grew heavy. Confronting Lucas was definitely something she would do.

Not daring to overthink, she hurried out and hailed a taxi to Moonlight Tower.

Entering quickly, she found the lobby in disarray, shattered glass everywhere, as if there had just been a robbery.

"Where's Selena?"

Aveline grabbed a waiter, asking urgently.

The waiter pointed to a private room down the corridor. "In there.

Aveline hurried over and pushed open the door, finding Selena being held by two bodyguards, her face flushed with anger.

"Let go of me!"

She was still struggling incessantly.

On the sofa, Lucas's expression was grim, his white shirt stained with blood, and his dark eyes staring lifelessly at Selena.

His right sleeve was rolled up to his elbow, revealing a wound on his arm, while Sophia sat beside him, tending to it.

Everyone looked over.

Lucas's expression grew even darker upon seeing her.

Selena said, "Ave, why are you here?"

Aveline asked, "What on earth happened?"

Selena pursed her lips and didn't speak, her eyes like daggers at Lucas. If looks could kill, Lucas would have been torn to pieces by

Aveline took a deep breath and looked at Lucas. "Can you tell me what happened?"

Lucas's voice was cold. "You should ask her that."

"Hey, you mute, what's your attitude?" Selena's anger flared up immediately. "Oh, you're not mute anymore, and you've forgotten how Ave treated you, you ungrateful bastard!"

She scolded him ruthlessly, showing no restraint. Then she turned to Aveline. "I warned you long ago not to take in just any man. Now look, he's regained his memory, can talk, and has gone home to inherit the things with his old flame, making you look like the mistress."

"Hold her down," came Lucas's cold, magnetic voice.

The two bodyguards immediately moved to restrain Selena.

Seeing this, Aveline intervened, "No, you can't touch her."

But the bodyguards only listened to Lucas.

Selena was pinned down again. This time the bodyguards were determined to make her kneel.

Aveline turned to Lucas, her gaze landing on the wound on his arm, and she spoke with a trembling breath, "Lucas, no matter what Selena did, it was for me. If you're angry, take it out on me." Lucas's eyes darkened as he stared at her. "She did everything. Why should I take it out on you?"

Aveline choked up and said, "What will it take for you to let her go?"

Lucas replied, "Make her apologize. She tried to hurt Sophia."

Selena gritted her teeth. "I will never apologize to her. Who does she think she is? Does she deserve an apology from me?"

Lucas signaled the bodyguards.

The bodyguards applied more force, and Selena cried out in pain, her face turning pale.

"I'm sorry, Miss Winter!" Aveline said directly to Sophia.
