After the CEO Divorced Me, He Wants Me Back (Aveline and Lucas) novel Chapter 578

Sasha was startled by Aveline’s sudden outburst. "What’s wrong with you?"

Maria held Aveline close, feeling the intense emotions radiating from her. It pained Maria deeply—no girl could remain calm after experiencing something so traumatic.

"Aveline, it’s over now. You’re safe," Maria murmured softly, trying to offer some comfort.

But Aveline suddenly shoved Lucas away, her eyes still brimming with tears, but now burning with fury. "You’re going to avenge me? Don’t you find that laughable?"

Lucas’ brow furrowed, his expression darkening. The violent energy that had surrounded him moments ago seemed to dissipate, leaving him unable to respond.

Aveline trembled as she spoke, her voice filled with bitterness. "Last time, Sophia and Barbara teamed up against me. They tricked me into going to the hospital, drugged me, and locked me in a container by the sea. The water kept rising, and I almost drowned! And what did you do? When Sophia tried to kill me, what did you do? What did you do?"

She wiped at her face, trying to clear away the tears, but they only kept coming, her voice quivering with anger. "You ignored it. Fine, I handled it myself. She wanted to destroy me, so I set out to ruin everything she cared about!

"She wanted a place in the Winter family, so I sabotaged her projects, making her family lose faith in her. She wanted to marry you, so I stayed by your side to spite her. We agreed on all of this beforehand!"

By the end, she was nearly screaming, tears streaming down her face. "But what did you do, Lucas? Russell locked her in a container to make her suffer the same way I did, but Brian rescued her. Just when her project was about to collapse, you suddenly invested in her company and saved her! Lucas, tell me, what are you trying to do?"
