Chapter 184
Aveline’s brow furrowed.
What was he doing?
Blocking her with bodyguards, not answering her calls, and now stepping into the elevator?
Her expression froze, and she was about to leave.
“What are you doing?” Lucas‘ cold voice sounded.
Aveline replied, “I don’t want to be in the same space as a trash can.”
Lucas‘ brow furrowed, and a dangerous vibe filled the cramped elevator. He pressed the close button, and the doors shut quickly, leaving no time for Aveline to exit.
She glanced at him with a frown and stood in the corner, radiating detachment and coldness.
Before, he refused to see her. Now, she didn’t want to be near
him. What bad luck.
Lucas noticed her expression, his eyes dark and unreadable. He asked coolly, “Where’s the evidence?”
Aveline replied, “I sent it to you.”
Lucas said, “My phone’s off.”
Aveline smirked. “Can’t you turn it on?”
Lucas looked at her intently and suddenly asked, “If I gave you a knife now, would you stab me?”

The coldness in her eyes was obvious, which annoyed him.
Aveline said, “If it weren’t illegal.”
Lucas‘ expression grew colder, and the elevator atmosphere became unbearably tense, making it hard for Aveline to breathe.
With that, he pried her fingers off and slammed the car door shut.
“You!”
Aveline stared in disbelief. Did he intend to hold her
accountable? How would he do that? Kidnap her in return? But she hadn’t done anything!
Her hands clenched into fists at her sides. It was infuriating; her heart grew colder. Lucas refused to believe her even a little.
Standing on the road, she felt a chill deep within her soul, as if an abyss was before her, inescapable no matter what she did.
“Jerk! Bastard! Scumbag!” Aveline cursed, her eyes
reddening.
At that moment, her phone rang. Checking it, she saw it was Yvonne calling. Her fingers tightened reflexively before she answered, “Hello, Madam Yvonne.”
Yvonne’s gentle voice came through, “Aveline, where are you? I’m heading to the spa. Let’s go together.”
