After the CEO Divorced Me, He Wants Me Back by Riverflow

Chapter 408

"Which man?" Aveline asked, momentarily confused.

Lucas' gaze remained cold, the room's temperature seemingly dropping. The bed was a mess, still bearing the remnants of their intimacy, yet the chill pervaded Aveline's body.

"I was drunk last night, I don't know what happened," Aveline said.

Lucas sneered. "You know you can't handle alcohol, and yet you dared to drink alone?"

The reproach in his voice was clear as if she had done something wrong.

Feeling wronged, Aveline retorted, "Lucas, did you investigate the situation? Do you know why I was drinking? On what grounds are you blaming me?"

At that moment, her defensive spikes rose.

The tension in the bedroom became palpable.

Then, a phone rang, breaking the silence. It was Lucas' phone.

He walked over and answered, "Speak."

Desmond, sensing the tension, spoke cautiously, "Mr. Tudor, I found out what happened. The project manager from Horizon Realty, Xander Wilbur, asked Mrs. Tudor to revise the blueprints and then wouldn't let her leave. Others joined in, forcing her to drink and even said some... things."

His voice grew more cautious, hesitating to continue.
