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

"Ah?" Maria was momentarily stunned. "What did I do?"

A sudden feeling of unease crept into her.

Why was Lucas suddenly interrogating her?

She quickly ran through her recent actions in her mind. She'd been playing it safe, behaving like a model employee completely well-behaved. So why was Lucas asking this?

Wait...

The only thing she'd been involved in lately was messing with Sidney.

Could it be... he had gone to Lucas to complain?

Maria narrowed her eyes, remaining silent for a moment.

Lucas' tone grew even colder. "Maria, cut it out. If I hear any more rumors, you're heading straight to the Delta, and you won't be coming back!"

With that, Lucas hung up the phone.

A chill ran down Maria's spine. Lucas was angry-really angry.

And that meant serious consequences.Content provided by NôvelDrama.Org.

The Delta... a hell on earth.

She thought of Brian, who was already there, living a life worse than death.

But why was Lucas so furious all of a sudden?

What exactly had Sidney told him?

Maria held her phone tightly, deep in thought for a while before dialing Desmond's number.

"Hello, Maria," Desmond quickly answered, his tone light and cheerful.

"Desmond, tell me honestly-what's going on with the boss?"

"Uh?" Desmond was confused, not understanding what she was getting at. "Maria, what exactly do you want to know?"

"Our boss called me earlier, chewed me out, and warned me to behave or he'd send me to join Brian. But I haven't done anything recently! So why is he suddenly so angry?" Maria explained, frustration creeping into her voice. Desmond was just as baffled. "I have no idea either."

Maria frowned. "I thought you might know something."

Desmond replied, "Well, you've got the wrong idea. I'm handling the business here in Cloudflare City, while tucas is in Larbor City. Even if something happened near him, I wouldn't know right away.

"So, who would know immediately?" Maria asked.

"That'd be Braden. He's Mr. Tudor's personal assistant now. Maybe you should ask him?"

"Alright, I'll give him a call."

Maria hung up and dialed Braden, but even he didn't know what was going on.

Now, it was a complete mystery.

Maria stroked her chin, deep in thought. What had Sidney told Lucas?

Maybe it was better to ask him directly.

After tracking Sidney's location, she set off to find him.

Sidney, meanwhile, had received a private order from a wealthy socialite. The client was a cute and pretty woman with large, doe-fike eyes that shimmered when she looked at him.

"Hello, I'm Fawn Powell. It's a pleasure to meet you!" she said, extending her hand with a bright smile.

Sidney shook her hand politely. "Miss Powell, nice to meet you. Do you have any specific requirements for this villa?"

He pulled out a voice recorder and a notebook, ready to take notes. Fawn blinked at his professional demeanor, momentarily distracted. She glanced at the empty lot and said, "I haven't really decided yet."

Sidney nodded, pulling out his phone. "Alright. Let's exchange contac

information. You can ox

know your preferences as they come to you."

"Sounds good."

Fawn nodded enthusiastically, scanning the QR code to add him on WhatsApp.

After that, she added, "I do have a general idea, though. I'm thinking of a Western style villa." Sidney nodded and jotted it down.

At that moment, his phone rang. Glancing at the screen, he saw it was Maria calling.
