After the CEO Divorced Me, He Wants Me Back (Aveline and Lucas) novel Chapter 449

Chapter 449 

The butler explained what had happened in the garden earlier, especially the scene where Barbara was frightened to tears, describing it vividly. 

He glanced at Aveline with a frown, his tone becoming colder. “Madam Barbara is very fond of Madam Aveline. I don’t understand why she would want to harm her.” 

Aveline frowned. “I didn’t do it. It wasn’t me.” 

The butler replied, “But the servants saw you pushing the wheelchair, which scared Madam Barbara.” 

Aveline looked at Lucas and said calmly, “Grandma wanted a flower crown, so I went to pick flowers. When I heard the commotion, she had already been pushed away by someone else.” 

“Did you check the surveillance?” Lucas asked the butler in a low voice, his eyes cold. 

The butler nodded. “We did, but that area is a blind spot. Nothing was captured.” 

Lucas‘ tone grew even colder. “If nothing was captured, how can you be certain she pushed Grandma? If that’s the case, can I speculate that you instigated someone to frame her?” 

The butler became terrified. “Mr. Lucas, I didn’t!” 

Lucas sneered. “Do you have evidence proving you didn’t instruct anyone?” 

Cold sweat broke out on the butler’s back. He looked at Aveline with a face full of apology, “Madam Aveline, it’s my fault. However, since the matter hasn’t been clarified, you can’t come out yet.” 

Lucas said coldly, “If the matter isn’t clarified, why was she locked up?” 

The butler was at a loss for words. He was merely following Frederick’s orders, as a servant. Why was he being put in such a difficult position? 

Cold sweat appeared on the butler’s face. “Mr. Lucas if you do this, I won’t be able to explain it to Mr, 

Frederick.” 

Lucas responded, “That’s your problem, not mine.” 

The butler was speechless. 

Lucas turned to hold Aveline’s hand, saying, “Let’s go and get you changed.” 

Realizing that Aveline had been locked up by Frederick without his consent made Lucas‘ eyes flash with a chilling coldness. 

The butler watched them leave and had no choice but to find Frederick and explain the situation. 

“That ungrateful son!” Frederick cursed angrily. 

Yvonne said, “I’ll go and check on them.” 

Frederick added, “Make sure to lock Aveline up. She can’t be allowed to disgrace the Tudor family anymore!” 

“Alright,” Yvonne replied as she left the room. 

She ran into Lucas and Aveline on the stairs.

Lucas retorted, “Madam Yvonne, do you even care?”
