After the CEO Divorced Me, He Wants Me Back (Aveline and Lucas) novel Chapter 868

Wilfried sat on the sofa, eyes closed, saying nothing.

Gavin glanced at Judith, his stepmother, who had always been cautious in the Cooper family. She began to speak, "It's just that—"

"Silence!" Wilfried’s voice cut through the tension, making the atmosphere in the living room even more stifling.

Realizing something serious had happened, Gavin didn’t press for more details and instead took a seat quietly on the sofa, waiting.

Half an hour later, there was another sound at the door.

Gernard and Juliet entered one after the other.

The moment Gernard stepped inside, he noticed something was off and asked, "Dad, Gavin, what’s going on?"

Juliet stood nervously behind him, her anxiety growing as a sense of foreboding washed over her.

Wilfried finally opened his eyes and said, "Since everyone’s here, take a look at these," pointing to the documents on the coffee table.

Gavin, being the closest, picked them up and started reading. The further he got, the darker his expression became.

"Did you really do this?" he asked, looking at Juliet.

Juliet’s face turned pale. "W-What? Gavin, what are you talking about? I don’t understand."

Gernard moved closer, took the documents from Gavin, and after reading a few lines, his face darkened as well. He turned sharply towards Juliet. "Arson, arranging a kidnapping, drugging people—Juliet, you stayed in Cloudflare City and did all this?"

At his words, Juliet immediately realized her actions had been exposed. But she couldn’t admit it—if she did, everything would be over.

"What are you all talking about? There must be some misunderstanding! Gernard, you know me better than anyone. You’ve always cared about me—do you really think I’m capable of something like this?" Juliet’s tears started to fall as she played the victim.
