Aveline continued, "You've been tormenting his son. Won't you feel any guilt when you see him?"

Lucas gave a faint smile. "Are you asking me to release Bobby?"

Aveline replied, "I still believe he's innocent."

Lucas' deep, intense eyes studied her carefully. "Aveline, Zane has already taken the money. Whether Bobby is innocent or not doesn't matter much anymore." Aveline felt the urge to argue but found herself at a loss for words.
