After the CEO Divorced Me, He Wants Me Back (Aveline and Lucas) novel Chapter 748

Aveline had decided to completely ignore him.

However… she glanced up at him just as he finished another phone call.

“Hmm?” Lucas noticed her gaze and looked back at her with an easy, relaxed expression.

The coldness in his eyes had vanished, replaced by a gentle warmth that seemed to draw her in like he wanted to melt her with his gaze.

Fortunately, the walls around her heart remained firmly in place.

"I'm going to see Zane," she said.

Lucas nodded. "Go ahead."

Aveline continued, "You've been tormenting his son. Won't you feel any guilt when you see him?"

Lucas gave a faint smile. "Are you asking me to release Bobby?"

Aveline replied, "I still believe he's innocent."

Lucas' deep, intense eyes studied her carefully. "Aveline, Zane has already taken the money. Whether Bobby is innocent or not doesn't matter much anymore."

Aveline felt the urge to argue but found herself at a loss for words.

He was right.

Zane had given up on his son. What could she, an outsider, possibly say?

Zane would have a comfortable life in his old age with that money.

As for Bobby’s fate… no one seemed to care anymore.

She stopped looking at Lucas and began eating her breakfast, her expression growing colder.

Lucas watched her, noticing the shift in her demeanor.

"He’s not dead, and he won’t die," he added softly.

Aveline paused, surprise flickering across her face as she looked at him.

Lucas continued, "Even though the evidence is damning, I agree with the perspective you brought up. We just haven't found proof of his innocence yet."

Aveline instinctively tightened her grip on her utensils. "Why are you telling me this now?"
