After the CEO Divorced Me, He Wants Me Back (Aveline and Lucas) novel Chapter 720

Aveline was downstairs, sipping her coffee. When she casually glanced up, she caught sight of Maria and Sidney leaving together. A trace of doubt flickered in her eyes.

They were heading out again?

She didn’t think much of it and waited for a while before finally heading back to the office. After finalizing the contract, she received word from the finance department that the final payment had been settled. She let out a big sigh of relief.

Taking out her phone, she contacted Myron. After explaining the situation, he assured her that he would inform her once the date was set.

Sitting in front of her computer, Aveline felt a weight lift off her chest, like a string that had finally come loosened.

...

Nearly a week later, Juliet's subordinate came to her with the results of their investigation. Juliet was shopping in the mall, and upon hearing the news, her expression shifted dramatically.

She never would have guessed that Lucas' wife was Aveline!

Whatever thoughts crossed her mind, she quickly instructed her subordinate, “I want all the current information on Aveline.”

“Yes, ma’am.”

Just then, her phone rang. Juliet checked the caller ID, and a smile spread across her face.

“Hello, Gernard.”

Gernard’s gentle voice came through, “Finished shopping?”

Juliet replied, “Not yet. Gernard, come join me. I’m so bored all by myself.”

Gernard responded, “I’m not done with work yet. If you’re tired, head back to the hotel first. I’ll take you out for something nice to eat later.”

Juliet, however, insisted, “Gernard, where are you right now? Can I come to find you? I promise I won’t cause any trouble.”

Gernard said, “I’m at the Tudor Group. You’re not interested in these things, so maybe it’s better if you don’t come.”
