After the CEO Divorced Me, He Wants Me Back (Aveline and Lucas) novel Chapter 689

“Hey, beautiful, the night is still young. Where are you heading? Why don’t you stay and have a few drinks with us?” The man with dyed blonde hair, clearly the leader, smirked as he eyed Aveline and Selena.

His gaze lingered, clearly captivated by their beauty.

Aveline frowned. “Not tonight, maybe another time.”

She grabbed Selena's hand and tried to move past them.

But the leader swiftly blocked their path. “So, when would be a good time, then? We’re not asking for much, just hoping to make friends with two beautiful ladies like yourselves. Come on, have a drink with us, and we’ll leave you alone. How about that?”

Yeah, right! If they went with these men, who knew what might happen.

Outnumbered, Selena chose not to provoke them. Instead, she discreetly pulled out her phone to call the police.

“What are you doing, gorgeous?”

Just then, a hand shot out from behind and snatched her phone away, smashing it to pieces when they saw she was calling for help.

“Come on, beautiful, that’s not very nice. We just want to have a drink with you. No need to make a big deal out of it and call the cops, right?”

“You…!” Selena’s face turned pale with anger as she looked at her shattered phone.

Aveline spoke up, “There are surveillance cameras here. Aren’t you afraid of getting caught?”

“Afraid?” The man with blonde turned to his buddies.

“Yeah, scared to death!” someone joked, and the group burst into laughter.

Selena grew more anxious. “What do we do? It’s clear they won’t let us go easily.”

Aveline was at a loss as well.

They were still some distance away from the bar, and though the bouncers at the entrance had seen what was happening, they just looked away, as if this was nothing new to them.

They hurried toward the roadside, but just as Aveline turned back, she saw the blonde-haired man punch the stranger in the face. The man seemed caught off guard for a moment but quickly fought back.

He had a unique way of fighting, focusing all his efforts on one person. No matter how many blows he took from others, his eyes were locked solely on his target.

“Hurry, get in the car,” Selena urged.

But Aveline took out her phone and called the police. The police station was only five hundred meters away, and the sound of sirens soon filled the air. The group of men tried to flee, but the man held on tightly to the leader, refusing to let him escape, no matter how much he struggled.

When the police arrived, they immediately handcuffed the blonde-haired man. The stranger was also taken in, needing to cooperate with the investigation.

Aveline said, “Let’s go with them.”

Selena paused, surprised. “Why should we go? It’s so late. I think going home is much safer.”

Aveline shook her head. “He got hurt saving us. We need to testify on his behalf.”
