Chapter 454
Lucas took out a remote control and pressed a button. A screen slowly
descended from the wall behind the TV. He connected his phone and started the projection.
Everyone could clearly see what happened in the garden.
Someone pushed Barbara’s wheelchair, and then Aveline hurried over, all captured clearly on video.
The footage was short but clearly showed the facts.
Lucas‘ tone grew colder. “This incident has nothing to do with Aveline. As for who pushed the wheelchair to frame her, I’ll find out. If you come forward now, I might let it go. But if I uncover the truth, you’ll end up in the basement.”
His deep, magnetic voice echoed through the living room, sending a chill through everyone present.
Lucas looked at Frederick. “See? This is evidence.”
Frederick’s face darkened further, humiliated by his son in front of everyone, He looked at Lucas with even more disdain.
Lucas scoffed and then looked at the two servants behind the butler. “Didn’t you just say you saw Aveline push the wheelchair on purpose? Say it again.”
The two servants were stunned when they saw the video. Now, being called out by Lucas, they turned pale and fell to their knees with a thud.
“Mr. Lucas, I was wrong! I heard Madam Barbara’s cries and thought Madam Aveline had harmed her. I was wrong, and I won’t do it again!”
“I was mistaken, Mr. Lucas. It was a misunderstanding. Please forgive me this once!”
They pleaded desperately, not wanting to be sent to the basement. Having delivered food there, they had seen horrific scenes that haunted their dreams for days.
Lucas looked at them coldly. “Should you be apologizing to me?”
The two servants understood immediately and turned to Aveline, repeatedly

apologizing and confessing their mistakes.
Aveline’s expression remained indifferent. She wasn’t used to seeing people kneeling before her. However, it was these two who falsely accused her of
harming Barbara, leading to her confinement.
They underestimated her because of her ordinary background, assuming she would eventually be driven out of the Tudor family.
Aveline remained silent.
The two servants didn’t dare to stand up.
The atmosphere in the living room grew tense.
What started as Frederick’s lead had completely shifted to Lucas’s control.
His expression was cold and indifferent, yet he continued to play with Aveline’s hand as if it were a cherished object, thoroughly enjoying himself.
Aveline tried to pull her hand away several times but eventually gave up.
“Is that person… could it be Leo?”
Yvonne’s hesitant voice suddenly broke the silence.
Frederick immediately turned to the screen, where the footage was paused at the moment when a servant stopped the wheelchair. The image wasn’t very clear, but it showed a tall man wearing a mask.
“Enlarge the image!” Frederick exclaimed excitedly.
The butler stepped forward and used the remote to zoom in on the
surveillance video.
However, the more they zoomed in, the blurrier the image became, making it even harder to see clearly.
Frederick, on the other hand, grew more excited.
