Chapter 451
A chill spread from the depths of her heart as she struggled to control her emotions. Yvonne fixed the zipper and suddenly asked, “Aveline, did you see
that basement?”
Aveline shook her head. “No, I came over immediately after I got out. I was afraid something might have happened to Grandma.”
Yvonne replied, “It’s good you didn’t see it. If you had, you might have been scared.”
With that, she turned and left the dressing room.
Yvonne left the bedroom directly. When Aveline walked out, her face was somewhat pale.
Lucas, sensing something was wrong, walked up and held her hand, finding it
cold.
“What’s wrong?”
Aveline pulled her hand away and lowered her eyes. “Let’s handle Grandma’s situation first. I don’t want to be falsely accused.”
Lucas nodded but still sensed her resistance and reluctance. She hadn’t been like this before. What had changed?
Aveline turned to leave, but Lucas grabbed her and asked, “Where are you going?”
She paused and said, “I want to see Grandma.”
Lucas replied, “Until things are cleared up, they won’t allow you to go there.”
Aveline halted, but the next second, she still tried to leave. Lucas grabbed her arm and asked in a low voice, “Are you avoiding me?”
Aveline couldn’t hide anymore. With nerves on edge, she looked up at him and asked, “Did you handle Bobby’s matter?”
Upon hearing this, Lucas instantly understood that Yvonne must have said something to Aveline. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have suddenly asked such a question.

Aveline pulled her arm away again, struggling to control her emotions. “Bobby said he was framed. He said he never took those things to sell!”
Taking a deep breath, Aveline continued, “Lucas, you have no idea how much Bobby took care of me during those years at the Looney family. Although Zane has given up on him, I still want to fight for him. What if he was framed and wronged?”
Lucas watched her agitated expression, his expression growing darker. “So, how do you plan to investigate?”
Aveline opened her mouth but was at a loss.
Yes, how should she proceed?
Could she rely solely on her momentary emotions?
She gradually calmed down.
Lucas doused her with another dose of reality. “If everything is as you say, carefully planned and executed, the other party wouldn’t leave you any chance to uncover it.”
Aveline’s face grew even paler.
