Divorced

Chapter 526

Selena cried, tears and snot streaming down her face. Her eyes, though angry, were filled with concern

for Aveline.

Aveline’s eyes welled up as she sniffled. “I’m sorry for making you worry.”

Selena grabbed a tissue, blew her nose loudly, and tossed it in the trash. “Alright, I accept your apology. Now, can you tell me what’s going on?”

After a pause, she forced a smile. “No matter what happens, I’m by your side this time. Even if you and Lucas have ten or eight kids, I won’t say a word.”

Aveline’s lips twitched. The serious mood was broken by her comment. Ten or eight kids? Did she think Aveline was some kind of breeding machine?

Aveline took a sip of beer and briefly explained the situation.

“Someone’s trying to harm you?” Selena’s face grew tense. “Who?”

Aveline shook her head. “I don’t know. That’s why when he proposed this plan, I hesitated. It seemed like a good idea, but now… I don’t want to know anymore.”

“Why not?” Selena argued. “You need to find out. If playing along is the way to catch the mastermind, then do it! And when it’s over, ditch that jerk and we’ll run away together!”

Aveline sighed. “You were so angry about this before.”

Selena looked serious. “That was different. If I had known the full story, I wouldn’t have said those things, I would have supported you. After all, you only have one life. If you die, that’s it. Everything’s over.”

Aveline was taken aback. “Really?”

“Yes!” Selena squeezed her hand. “Aveline, you can’t die. You haven’t even opened your little restaurant yet, and I haven’t become your second–in–command!”

Aveline laughed, pinching Selena’s cheek. “I won’t die.”

Selena nodded. “Good. So go along with Lucas for now. Play the game, find the real mastermind, and then kick him to the curb. That would make my day.”

Aveline sighed, knowing the real focus was on that last part.

“Excuse me,” Russell interjected.

At that moment, Russell, who had been silent, suddenly spoke up. “You mentioned someone in the Tudor family is targeting you. Do you have any suspects?”

Aveline replied calmly, “I believe everyone in the Tudor family is a suspect.”

Frederick despised her, Yvonne’s attitude was quite complicated, and Barbara had started to distance herself after regaining her memories. Barbara even went so far as to help Sophia by deceiving her into going to the hospital,

So far, Lucas was the only one who hadn’t directly threatened her life, though he had hurt her in other ways.

Aveline let out a bitter laugh. What kind of person was she to warrant such hostility from a prominent family like the Tudors? Was she unlucky, or perhaps just lucky in a twisted way?

Russell frowned. “According to Lucas‘ plan, someone in the family doesn’t want to see you two happy. By pretending to be a loving couple, you’re supposed to force that person to act, revealing their identity.” This text is © NôvelDrama/.Org.

Aveline nodded. “That’s right. That was the original plan.”

But now, everything had changed.

Russell rubbed his chin thoughtfully. “But what if that person doesn’t make a move? Are you supposed to keep up this act forever?”
