Chapter 877

Aveline quickly sent her resignation email to Maria.

But before she could even close her laptop, Maria's call came through.

"Aveline, I heard you've found your biological family. Are you planning to stay in Larbor City for good?" Maria's tone remained casual as if they were still close friends.

Aveline's voice, however, was cold and distant. "Yes, I'm not leaving."

Her family was here, and she had no intention of going anywhere else.

Maria sighed, sounding regretful. "Ah... you're so talented, and I really like having you on my team. It would've been great if you stayed."

Aveline's next question came out sharper. "Is that really what you feel, or is it just part of the assignment Lucas gave you?"

"What..." Maria was momentarily stunned, lost for words.

After a brief pause, her tone shifted, becoming more cautious. "You know?"

Aveline let out a bitter, silent laugh. "How long were you planning to keep it from me?"
