After the CEO Divorced Me, He Wants Me Back (Aveline and Lucas) novel Chapter 683

Lucas's voice turned icy. "If you don’t fire him, you can kiss your studio goodbye."

But Maria remained unfazed. "Go ahead, but if I lose my studio, Aveline loses her job. And once she discovers our connection, she’ll never forgive you."

Lucas was momentarily speechless.

His subordinates had become defiant.

Maria, sensing her advantage, continued with a smug smile, "Boss, Sidney's actually quite decent. But don’t worry, nothing you’re concerned about will happen because I've got my eye on him."

That seemed to put Lucas at ease.

He ended the call without another word. Maria looked at her phone, unable to suppress a grin. She glanced up and saw Sidney diligently working on a drawing outside her office.

...

Aveline drove back to Maple Garden, and sure enough, she spotted the man standing at the entrance of the complex.

Selena was inside, arms crossed. When she saw Aveline’s car pull up, she quickly ran over.

Aveline parked the car, got out, and asked, "When did you spot him?"

Selena replied, "I saw him when I went downstairs to buy some snacks. He’s been standing there the whole time. I even went over to say hi, but he didn’t recognize me."

Aveline glanced at her. "I don't think he knew you in the first place."

Selena chuckled. "Oh, right. But the way he looks reminds me so much of the first time I met that jerk Lucas."

“Did he perhaps lose his memory?” Aveline thought back to when he woke up in the hospital, that confused expression—he really did seem to have lost his memory.

Later, when the police questioned him about his identity, he couldn’t provide any answers.

Aveline walked over. "Hey!"

The man looked up at the sound of her voice, and the moment he saw her, his eyes lit up.

"Well, well, that familiar reaction," Selena muttered softly from the side.

Aveline observed his state, frowning slightly. "What are you doing here?"
