Divorced 82
Chapter 82
Aveline was at a loss for words.
The six million dollars slipped through her fingers, and she no longer had the confidence to resign.
She was absolutely furious!
Seeding her expression, Selena asked, “What did that jerk say?”
Aveline replied, “You called him a jerk. Do you think he’d say anything, reasonable?”
Sedena kept quiet.
Aveline let out a frustrated sigh. “No celebration today. I have to go back to work
Selena blinked, “Didn’t you resign?
Aveline gave a wry smile. “With six million dollars gone, how can I dare to resign?”
Selena: “You poor thing,”
Back at DK Group, Aveline was stopped at the front desk.
“Aveline, there’s a package for you.”
eveline was surprised. A package for her? Who sent it?
She walked over, took the well–sealed box, and shook it. It was light, with no suspicious sounds,
As she opened it and headed towards the elevator, she got in when it arrived without looking up.
A gaze fell on her, making her look up instinctively, and she saw
Lucas‘ handsome and stern face as he walked past her indifferently.
“Stop!”
Aveline’s face darkened.
There were other people in the elevator, and they looked at her in astonishment, as if saying, “Are you crazy? How dare you speak to Mr. Tudor like that?”
Ignoring their stares, Aveline walked straight up to Lucas. “Mr. Tudor, do you have a moment? I have some questions to ask.”
Lucas replied, “I’m not free.”
Aveline was speechless.
Was he forcing her to make a scene?
Lucas walked away, leaving Aveline standing there, clutching the package, feeling completely exasperated.
Back at her workstation, her manager came over immediately. Miss Young, why did you say you were resigning? Thankfully, Mr. Tudor didn’t approve it. You were crucial in securing the Brighton Enterprises project. Mr. Henry specifically asked for you to oversee it. If you resign, what will happen to the project?”
Aveline smiled. “I understand. I’ll complete my work properly.”
At the very least, she had to see this project through. It was her hard work, and once it was completed, the project bonus would be
substantial.
Even without the six million dollars, she could still achieve financial freedom.
No.
She must have that six million dollars!
+15 BONUS
It was her divorce compensation!
She had to get it back!
That jerk went back on his word, giving the money and then taking it back?
How disgusting!
Aveline fumed inwardly. Her manager, reassured by her promise, returned to his tasks, feeling relieved.
Aveline focused on her work. A few days later, she received a call from the police station.
The person hadn’t been found.
It was as if they had vanished into thin air.
However, this had already become a criminal case, suspected of attempted murder, and an investigation had been launched.
Aveline felt uneasy. That person was still missing, like a hidden snake in the dark, ready to strike at any moment.Owned by NôvelDrama.Org.
What should she do?
Right, this could very likely be because of Lucas. She might have been used as a shield. Since they were not divorcing now, she had to inform him about this matter!
Come to think of it, she hadn’t seen Lucas these past few days and didn’t know where he was.
Aveline took out her phone and dialed his number.
This time, the call wasn’t rejected.
“Hello?”
However, it was Sophia who answered the call.
Aveline paused for a moment and then asked, “Where’s Lacas?”
Sophia’s voice was gentle, “Lucas is a bit busy right now. Do you have anything to say? You can tell me, and I’ll pass it on to him.”
