After the CEO Divorced Me, He Wants Me Back (Aveline and Lucas) novel Chapter 824

Hearing this, Aveline furrowed her brows. "The situation is getting more and more heated. Aren't you going to find a way to cool it down?"

Lucas replied, "It's too late to suppress it now. The capital has already gotten involved, and there are people fueling the flames behind the scenes. The attention is only going to increase."

Aveline's worry deepened. "Then what should you do?"

If things continued like this, Lucas' situation would only become more precarious. It wouldn't just be pressure from the board; the public could turn against him too. If it caught the attention of the higher authorities, there was a real risk of him being blacklisted.

"Hearing you worry about me, I should be happy," Lucas suddenly shifted the topic, "but why does it make me so sad?"

Aveline paused for a moment and then suggested, "Maybe I could do a livestream to clarify things."

"No need for you to appear," Lucas replied, "I'll handle everything."

His words brought her a strange sense of calm.

Still, she said, "If you need anything, just let me know."

"Alright."

Lucas agreed but didn't hang up immediately.

Aveline glanced at her phone and asked, "Is there anything else?"

"No," Lucas replied, "but I don't want to hang up. I just want to hear your voice. If you’d allow, I'd like to come over."

Aveline's tone was indifferent. "It's late. Go to sleep."

With that, she ended the call.

Lying on her bed, Aveline scrolled through videos on her phone. Out of every ten videos, six were about Lucas's altercation. The topic was unprecedentedly hot.

Who had released the footage during this period?

Was it Lucas's rivals?

Or someone specifically targeting them?

Aveline leaned toward believing that they were being targeted.

So, what other moves were waiting for them?
