After the CEO Divorced Me, He Wants Me Back (Aveline and Lucas) novel Chapter 783

Right now, the most critical link was this girl; she might be the only one who knew who was behind all of this.

But without concrete evidence, there wasn't much they could do to her.

The banquet hall manager, trembling with fear, was sweating profusely.

"Mr. Skyler, Mr. Tudor, I swear I know nothing about this! With such an important event, how could I possibly be reckless enough to allow something like this to happen?"

Selena let out a cold laugh. "And yet it did happen. Saying that, doesn't it make you feel the least bit ashamed?"

The manager nodded repeatedly. "It's my fault, my incompetence. I'm willing to take responsibility, but I genuinely have no idea what happened. I'm innocent!"

Selena crossed her arms, glancing between the girl and the manager. "You both claim you have nothing to do with it. Then how did it happen? Did it just come out of thin air?"

The girl gave a sidelong look at Russell and said, "Maybe Mrs. Tudor and Mr. Skyler had something going on. Last night, with so many people around, it would have been the perfect cover. After all, being locked in a room together for so long… who knows what might have happened?"

"I think you have a death wish, talking like that!" Selena snapped, stepping forward and slapping the girl hard across the face.

"Did you see it with your own eyes? Did you witness the whole thing? Or maybe you knew what would happen, which is why you dare to speak so recklessly?"

The girl's face turned red with anger after being slapped. "Do I need to see it with my own eyes? Everyone knows Russell and Aveline have a complicated history!"

Selena, fuming, raised her hand to slap her again, but Aveline stepped in and held her back.

"Let me deal with her, Ave! I’ll smack her so hard she'll regret every word!" Selena said, her fury barely contained.
