After the CEO Divorced Me, He Wants Me Back (Aveline and Lucas) novel Chapter 828

As Aveline unlocked the door, she said, "I don't know yet. I called him, but he didn’t answer. What is certain, though, is that someone is targeting us."

Selena followed her inside, frowning. "Aren’t they going after him? What does this have to do with you?"

Aveline pressed her lips together slightly. "I have a feeling things aren't as simple as they seem."

Selena sighed. "Oh, my dear, you're scaring me. Why does it sound like it’s getting more complicated?"

Aveline sighed helplessly. "We still don't know what the other side wants, so we'll just have to take it step by step. But I’ll be fine."

At least for now, all the moves seemed aimed at Lucas.

Selena took out her phone. "I'll ask Aaron to help investigate and see what’s really going on."

Aveline replied, "He and Lucas are like brothers. Don’t you think he’s already involved?"

"True enough," Selena said, putting down her phone. "I suddenly feel so powerless, like there's nothing I can do to help."

Aveline smiled and said, "Just focus on our own things and don’t get involved. That's the best way to help them."

When the front lines are on fire, the rear must stay stable. Otherwise, getting hit from both sides would overwhelm anyone.

"Yeah, you’re right," Selena agreed.

Aveline asked, "Have you eaten?"

Selena shook her head. "I saw the news and came straight over. I even had a fight with my boss over it. That lousy boss of mine, always obsessed with meetings! Every day it's another meeting about pointless stuff; it's so annoying."

Listening to her rant, Aveline felt oddly more at ease and said, "All bosses are like that. Just bear with it."
