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

"What?!" Selena's face immediately lit up with shock after hearing Aveline's words.

Maria, of all people, had been working for Lucas this whole time.

"Wait a second..." She raised her hand, a look of realization dawning on her face as she pieced things together. "Maria, Brian, Baron, Braden... it was all right there!" Aveline was speechless.

Selena turned toward her, her expression incredulous. "With all those similarities, you never suspected anything? Not even a little?"

Aveline shook her head honestly. "No, I didn't."

Selena let out a long sigh.

What could she even say? Lucas had practically laid the answer right in front of her, yet Aveline hadn't connected the dots. Was it because she trusted Maria too much? Or had she never really been that concerned with Lucas' actions? Maybe it was a bit of both.

Selena looked at her and asked, "So, are you mad at Lucas right now?"

Aveline replied, "Shouldn't I be?"

Selena scratched her chin thoughtfully. "You should be. But you know, Maria being close to you means she could easily reach you if something happened. And when things got dangerous, it was Lucas who had Maria find you. If you think about it, it's hard to judge whether what he did was wrong or right."
