After the CEO Divorced Me, He Wants Me Back (Aveline and Lucas) novel Chapter 528

Chapter 528 

Aveline stayed silent, realizing her initial thinking had been overly simplistic. 

Selena continued, “It’s not enough to just take away everything she values; she needs to experience the despair you felt. After all, true empathy doesn’t exist. Once she’s faced the brink of death, she’ll understand how precious life is.” 

Aveline blinked. “You make a good point.” 

Selena smiled confidently. “Sometimes my brain works pretty fast.”
