After the CEO Divorced Me, He Wants Me Back (Aveline and Lucas) novel Chapter 736

"What did you say?" Aveline frowned, staring at her.

Out of desperation, Hilda continued, "I know so much—so much! Just help me get out of here, and I’ll tell you everything. Aveline, all those beautiful things, that life—it was supposed to be yours! Someone else has taken your place!"

Aveline felt her mind whirl, her gaze shifting to Zachary.

Someone had taken her identity?

"It seems you really can't hand her over," Zachary said. "It's not that you can't find your biological parents—someone has stolen them from you, Aveline. You need to find out the truth."

Aveline blinked, realization dawning. She could have found her real parents. She was supposed to find them. But someone else had known about it first and taken her place?

"Who? Who is this person?"

A surge of anger coursed through her.

She wasn’t an orphan after all!

Hilda had always known this and never told her. She had even tried to ruin her completely!

Why? Why did Hilda treat her like this?

Seeing Aveline's emotions shift, Hilda regained her composure and said, "Get me out safely, keep those people from finding me, and I’ll tell you. Otherwise, you’ll never know."

Aveline's face darkened.

Hilda was shameless! And right now, she was the only one who knew the truth.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

Suddenly, there was a loud, insistent knocking at the front door.

A small child came running over, eyes wide with fear. "Mr. Wills, there are so many people outside!"

Zachary's expression changed. "They're back."

He turned to Aveline. "Let's step outside and lock this door."
