Chapter 175
Lucas stood in the doorway, his expression dark and stern. His deep, narrow eyes were as cold as ice, completely lacking warmth.
Aveline felt the air around her grow colder, a chill: ing from her feet. It was as if the atmosphere itself was pressing down on her.
Her expression turned equally cold. “Why did you call me here? What do you want?”
Could it be what Sophia had mentioned? Was he blaming her for some absurd incident?
Lucas‘ deep voice demanded, “Why did you kidnap Sophia?”
Aveline immediately let out a cold laugh. So, it was about that!
He had actually summoned her to question her over something so baseless!
“Lucas, are you crazy? I’m an orphan with no connections or power in Cloudflare City, and I don’t have any money. How could I possibly kidnap her? With a strand of hair?” she retorted, her tone dripping with sarcasm.
As she finished speaking, she found it laughable and couldn’t help but laugh out loud. But as she laughed, a layer of sorrow clouded her eyes.
He didn’t trust her… He had long stopped trusting her.
When he was poisoned and spitting blood, the look he gave her was like a knife, stabbing into her heart, causing her
unbearable pain!
And now, he was twisting the knife again!
Did he think she wasn’t suffering enough?
What had she done to deserve this?
Her sorrowful gaze made Lucas catch his breath for a moment, but his expression stayed stern. “I have evidence.”
He took out his phone and played a recording.
“He can’t let go of Sophia, undoubtedly because she once saved him. If she weren’t around, his attention would be on you.”
“You mean you want to help me?”
