Chapter 339
Thinking of Darren’s fierce and menacing appearance, Aveline couldn’t help but furrow her brows. Russell handed her a document. “I had someone Investigate him. Take a look at his file.”
Aveline took it and began to read. Darren, in his forties, had just been released from prison after serving ten years for manslaughter.
Russell looked at her and slowly said, “Do you know who he killed?”
Aveline shook her head.
“It was Lucas‘ second brother, Leo Tudor,” Russell said.
The name was unfamiliar to Aveline.
Russell continued, “But I couldn’t understand why he wants to kill you. After my investigation, I found out that he kidnapped two Tudor brothers back then. Someone reported him, and in a fit of rage, he set fire and killed Leo, while the other one got rescued.”
He looked at her and asked, “I suspect that the person who reported him might have been you. Aveline, do you really not remember any of this?”
Aveline’s face showed confusion.
“Report him? Kidnap?” She tried to recall, but her mind had no memories of these events.
“No, I never did anything like that,” Aveline said.
Russell frowned. “But if that’s the case, why is he so determined to kill you?”
Aveline was equally puzzled. If she had indeed reported Darren’s kidnapping, it would make sense for him to hate her. But she had no memory of doing such a thing. She hadn’t even heard about the
kidnapping.
Russell said, “Maybe I’m mistaken, but you need to protect yourself. He’s still at large, which is a significant threat.”
“I will, Russ. Thank you.” Aveline nodded.
Russell smiled faintly. “No need to be so formal with me. It’s getting late. You should go home and
rest.”
Before she knew it, the sky outside had already darkened.
Aveline responded with a nod and stood up. “I’ll be going now.”
Russell watched her leave, his eyes narrowing.
Why wasn’t she curious about which one of the Tudor brothers got rescued?
Or did she simply not care about Lucas anymore?
