After the CEO Divorced Me, He Wants Me Back (Aveline and Lucas) novel Chapter 253

Chapter 253 

Lucas exuded an ley demeanor as hespoke, his tone equally frosty. “If that’s how it is, then perhaps someday I’ll play a similar prank on Rebecca. I trust, Mr. Reynold, you’ll treat it as lightly as you are today.” 

Reynold’s expression darkened. “Lucas, what do you mean by that?” 

Lucas replied icily, “I need to see her now.” 

He needed to confirm Aveline’s safety before addressing any other 

matters. 

Reynold took out his phone and called the butler. “Have you found her? 

The butler’s voice wavered, “Sir… we’ve found her, but…” 

Reynold immediately pressed, “But what?” 

Just then, Lucas heard the faint sound of dogs barking. His eyes narrowed, and he dashed toward the noise. 

Aveline was awakened by a dog licking her. 

She opened her eyes to see a furry face, the dog’s tongue continuously licking her arm, the wet sensation filling her with disgust and terror. 

It was a mastiff! 

Her face turned pale with fear, and she lay rigidly on the ground, not daring to move a muscle. Rebecca was truly vicious, throwing her into a place with mastiffs, clearly intending for them to devour her. 

Aveline stared at the mastiff, her heart pounding in her throat, terrified that it might bite her at any moment. 

Her breathing grew tense, and then the mastiff bared its teeth! 

Her face instantly drained of color. The will to survive made her leap. up and run frantically in one direction. 

“Bark!” 

The mastiff’s fierce growl echoed behind her! 

Aveline trembled with fear as she ran desperately, but ahead of her was a wall! 

She was so done for! 

Her heart sank, and a wave of deathly fear engulfed her. 

Reaching the wall, she spotted a stick on the ground. She grabbed it. and turned to face the mastiff, swinging it desperately. 

The stick landed heavily on the mastiff, causing it to yelp and retreat a couple of steps, but its gaze on Aveline became even more menacing. 

Aveline gripped the stick tightly, not taking her eyes off the mastiff, nervously swallowing. 

What should she do now? 

This area was meant for the mastiffs, and it was unlikely anyone would come here often. Rebecca wanted her dead, so no one else would be allowed near. 

Her only hope was for Lucas to realize she was missing as soon as possible. That way, she might have a chance of survival. 

The mastiff paced back and forth, its massive form menacingly eyeing her, then suddenly it leapt at her! 

“Ah!” Aveline screamed, wildly swinging the stick.
