    Her expression froze for a moment, ignoring him.Content ? N?velDrama.Org 2024.


    Lucasmanded, “Come here.”


    Aveline frowned. Nothing from before was resolved, so why should she listen to him?


    She turned her head and smiled slightly at Russell. “Russ, could you give me a ride home?”


    Russell raised an eyebrow. “It’s my pleasure to drive a beautifuldy home.”


    He then reached out to open the car door.


    Lucas‘ face darkened as he stared at Aveline.


    Just then, Russell’s phone rang. He nced at the screen, and a cold glint appeared in his eyes<b>.</b>


    “Hello?” he answered.


    Aveline watched him, not getting into the car immediately.


    Russell’s expression soured as he listened to the caller.


    “I understand,” he said before hanging up.


    Turning to Aveline, his face showed a trace <b>of </b>apology. “I’m sorry, something urgent came up. I can’t give you a ride.”


    Aveline blinked. “Then you should go. I’ll just call a taxi.”


    Russell insisted, “I’ll find someone <b>to </b>take you.”


    Aveline shook her head with a smile. “No need. There are plenty of taxis avable by the roadside. You go ahead and take care of your business.”


    Russell nced at Lucas not far away, his brow furrowing. His


    intuition told him that Lucas was somehow involved in this sudden


    issue, but he had no evidence.


    “Alright then, I’ll be off,” Russell said, getting into the driver’s seat and driving away, clearly in a hurry.


    Aveline watched his car disappear around the corner before she started walking toward the road.


    Lucas‘ cold voice rang out. “Are you so reluctant to part with <b>him</b><b>? </b>If he were to have an ident and die on the road, would you cry and mourn for him?”


    Aveline red at <b>him</b><b>. </b>“Are you crazy?”


    What kind of nonsense was he spouting in the middle of the night?


    Lucas let out a mockingugh<b>. </b>“Aveline, you’d better keep your


    distance from him, or I can’t promise I won’t kill him.‘


    Aveline looked at <b>him</b>, exasperated. “You’re so violent. I suggest you see a doctor.”


    Lucas strode over, seized her wrist, and pulled her toward his car.


    Aveline immediately struggled. “What are you doing? Let go of me!”


    With a sharp tug, Lucas pulled her close, coldly saying, “Since you know I’m violent, you better not provoke me, got it?”


    His eyes were icy, and it seemed that if she resisted any further, he would lose his temper.


    Aveline decided to endure it. She was smart enough not to fight with <b>him</b>. Once in the car, she stated directly, “I need to go to the Waterfont District.”


    Lucas ignored her and drove towards the Tudor Mansion instead.


    As Aveline recognized the familiar route, she pressed her lips together.


    <b>Just </b>then<b>, </b>her phone rang. She looked at the screen and saw it was

    Zachary calling.


    “Hello, Zachary, what’s the matter?” Aveline answered the call, sounding puzzled.


    Lucas‘ temple throbbed at the sound of her talking to another man so familiarly.

    Zachary’s voice was anxious. “Aveline, Madam Hilda is missing!”


    Aveline’s expression immediately turned serious. “How could she be missing? Wasn’t she detained at the police station?”
