Chapter 361
When Aveline returned home, she immediately received a call from Selena.
“My beautiful Ave, I’m almost back. Is there anything you want to eat? The food here is quite good.”
Selena’s cheerful voice came through.
Aveline had been worried about Selena’s injury, but hearing her lively voice put her at ease.
“Just bring whatever you think is good. I’m fine with anything,” Aveline replied with a smile.
Selena said, “Alright, I’ll pick out your favorites.”
“Okay,” Aveline agreed, sitting on the sofa with a water cup, and putting the call on speaker. “Is your injury fully healed?”
“Mm–hmm,” Selena responded. “Of course, I’ve had my fun and need to get back to you. Otherwise, what if someone else takes my place?”
Aveline laughed. “No way, you’re my one and only.”
“Really? Can I tell Lucas that? Will he kill me if I do?” Selena teased.
Aveline replied, “He wouldn’t dare.”
Selena continued, “Wow, listen to you. It sounds like you’ve got him wrapped around your finger. Tell me what happened while I was gone.”
Aveline’s expression turned more subdued. “Nothing much, really. We’re getting divorced soon.”
“Seriously?” Selena’s voice shot up, “He agreed to the divorce?”
“I made a bet with him. If I win, we divorce,” Aveline explained.
Selena exclaimed, “Sweetie, aren’t you afraid of losing?”
“I won’t,” Aveline’s tone was confident. She firmly believed in Zane’s integrity. Even if you put a mountain of gold in front of him, he wouldn’t waver!
Selena added, “But I don’t think it’s that simple. There’s no way that scumbag would agree to such a bet easily. Are you sure he doesn’t have something up his sleeve?”
Hearing this, Aveline frowned.
What if Lucas had kidnapped Lily to threaten Zane?
It was the kind of thing he would do to get his way!
“Ave?”
Selena called out when Aveline didn’t respond for a while.
Aveline said, “You’ve reminded me. I’ll call him now.”
“Ave, the bet is already in place. What good will calling him do now?” Selena sighed helplessly.

Aveline felt a pang of worry. Lucas could easily manipulate her by creating this game. She feared that this attempt at divorce might also fail.
Pressing her lips together, Aveline said, “I still need to ask him.”
Selena replied, “Alright, go ahead.”
