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

Chapter 837

In the following days, Lucas messaged her daily, but there was still no news about Annie.

Aveline had been struggling with insomnia as well.

The video's hype had diminished somewhat but still lingered on the trending list.

One day, while Aveline was in her study drawing, her phone suddenly rang.

She glanced at the screen-it was an unfamiliar number.

She hesitated for a moment but decided to answer it, guessing that the person behind everything might finally be reaching out to her.

"Hello, who's this?" Aveline asked in a cold tone.

The voice on the other end was a processed electronic voice, making it impossible to discern the gender or emotion.

"Do you want to see Annie? She's with me."

Aveline immediately asked, "Who are you? Where is Annie?"

The caller continued, "I'll give you an address. Come alone. Don't inform Lucas, and don't let those two bodyguards follow you. Otherwise, I'll kill her and frame Lucas for it. With the video still generating buzz, imagine how it would look if news broke that Lucas tortured Annie to death. What do you think would happen to him then?"
