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.

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

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?"
