After the CEO Divorced Me, He Wants Me Back (Aveline and Lucas) novel Chapter 577

Sasha stood frozen in the doorway, her face pale. "Are you all insane? This is a crime!"

The men were visibly annoyed by her interruption, and one of them started toward her, intending to drag her inside as well.

"Perfect timing, you little witch! Come join the fun!"

"Ah!" Sasha screamed, drawing the attention of people in the hallway.

Just then, Maria happened to come out of the nearby room. Hearing the commotion, she asked, "What’s going on?"

Sasha spotted her and immediately rushed over, grabbing her hand. "Hurry, Aveline’s inside, they’re—"

What?

Maria’s expression changed instantly, and she bolted into the room, where she saw Aveline pinned down by several men.

"You bastards dare to touch someone of mine?" Maria cursed under her breath, swiftly and efficiently taking down the men holding Aveline.

"Hurry, call Lucas!" Maria ordered, turning to Sasha with a stern look. "This needs to be handled quietly!"

"I-I understand..." Sasha stammered, nodding as she shakily pulled out her phone to find Lucas’ number.

Maria rushed to Aveline’s side, lifting her up. Seeing the tear stains on her face, Maria’s heart filled with guilt. "I’m so sorry, I shouldn’t have let you go off on your own."

But Aveline just stared blankly ahead, her body trembling uncontrollably.

Maria held her close, adjusting her clothes to cover her up properly.

"Who sent you?" Lucas demanded coldly.

"I'll talk... I'll talk..." The man’s face contorted with pain. "It was... it was Miss Winter. She paid us and threatened our families. She said if we ruined Aveline, she’d get us and our families out of the country..."

Sasha covered her mouth in shock. "How could it be her?"

Lucas didn’t ease up; instead, he pressed down harder with his foot, causing the man to howl in pain before passing out from the agony.

Turning away from the unconscious men, Lucas, still brimming with rage, approached Aveline. Seeing the tears streaked across her face, his heart felt as if it had been shattered into pieces, leaving him in unbearable pain.

He gently draped his coat over her shoulders and whispered, "Aveline, I’ll make sure you get your revenge."

Aveline’s eyelashes trembled, and suddenly, she let out a bitter laugh. As she laughed, more tears began to fall.
