After the CEO Divorced Me, He Wants Me Back (Aveline and Lucas) novel Chapter 396

Chapter 396 

“Holy crap..” Selena exclaimed as she saw the scene, her face 

turning a bit pale. 

Aaron stood nearby and scoffed. “Afraid?” 

Behind them, Lucas covered Aveline’s eyes with his hand, pressing his chest against her back and speaking in a low voice, “Don’t look.” 

Aveline, however, pushed his hand away, calmly glanced at the three men, and then looked at Selena. “Are you okay?” 

Selena replied, “I’m… I’m okay. I can still walk…” 

Aveline fell silent. 

She helped her up. “Let’s get out of here first. They won’t let these men get away with it.” 

Selena nodded, her voice trembling, “Okay… okay.” 

Aveline supported Selena as they left, while Lucas watched them go. 

Aaron remarked, “Didn’t expect her to have such guts.” 

Lucas responded, “If she didn’t, I wouldn’t be here.” 

After all, no timid person would pick up a man from the roadside and

Aaron understood what he meant and chuckled softly. “Considering she saved your life, haven’t you thought about making things work between you two?” 

Lucas replied, “I’m thinking about it.

Lucas answered, “Send them to the police.” 

Aaron scoffed, “That’s too lenient. Leave them to me.” 

Lucas glanced at him. “You seem quite angry.” 

Aaron asked, “You’re not angry?” 

Lucas replied, “Not really.” 

Aaron was speechless. 

Lucas turned and left, leaving the men to Aaron. 

Aaron picked up a barbed whip, weighing it in his hand, then suddenly lashed it at one of the men. 

“Ah!” 

The man screamed as another bloody welt appeared on his body. 

Aaron’s chest had been filled with pent–up anger, and now he finally had an outlet. His face remained indifferent but thinking of Selena curled up pitifully in the car, he lashed out again. 

Selena had saved his life, and these men dared to harm her? They were asking for death! 

The heavy iron door muffled the screams. 

Emerging from the basement, Selena took a deep breath of fresh air. “I’m alive again.” 

Aveline smiled wryly. “You wanted to tear them apart, and yet…” 

Selena replied, “Imagination is one thing, reality is another. I didn’t
