Chapter 450Lucas asked in a deep voice, “Have you found this person?”Aveline shook her head. “No, the butler said there were no servants wearing masks today.”Due to the birthday banquet, many temporary workers had been hired, and the requirements were strict. Allowing a servant to wear a mask was out of the question. Lucas’ expression grew colder. He took out his phone and made a call.”Hello, boss?” came Maria’s lazy voice.”Check the surveillance at the Tudor family estate,” Lucas said, providing a specific time frame. Without waiting for Maria’s response, he hung up.Maria sighed. “Seriously?”Aveline looked at him. “Do you have a way to check the surveillance there?””Let’s wait and see,” Lucas replied calmly.Aveline nodded. Either the surveillance would reveal something, or Barbara would need to clarify things herself. But since she was asleep, Aveline couldn’t disturb her. Just then, there was a knock on the door.”Lucas, Aveline, it’s me,” Yvonne’s gentle voice called out.”Come in,” Lucas said coldly.Yvonne opened the door, holding a set of clothes. “These just arrived. I haven’t worn them yet. See if they fit,” she said to Aveline.Aveline took the clothes. “Thank you, Madam Yvonne.”Yvonne smiled. “No need to be so formal. If you need anything, just let me know.” S~ᴇaʀᴄh the Findηovel.ɴet website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.Aveline took the clothes into the dressing room to change.”The zipper is in an unusual spot. Let me help you,” Yvonne said, pushing the door open and walking in.Lucas watched indifferently, then turned his attention to his phone.In the dressing room, Aveline put on the dress.It was an elegant, simple dress, its length falling just below her knees, revealing her slender ankles. The fitted waist highlighted her perfect figure. The zipper was indeed in an unusual spot. Yvonne helped her with the zipper.”You look really beautiful in this dress,” she said.Aveline looked at herself in the mirror. The pale yellow dress made her look like a fresh daisy in bloom.Yvonne sighed. “I know you would never harm Grandma, and without surveillance in that area, locking you up was truly unfair.”Aveline lowered her eyes, not responding.1/2+15 BONUSYvonne continued, “How did you get out?””The window wasn’t locked, so I just came out,” Aveline replied.Yvonne chuckled. “You’re quite resourceful. But you didn’t see anything unusual, did you? That area has a basement where Lucas punishes those who disobey.”Aveline’s expression changed. “That basement belongs to Lucas?”Yvonne nodded. “Yes, anyone in the Tudor family who makes a mistake is sent there. Even if they don’t die, they come out with severe injuries. Lucas has been like this since he was a child, having lost his mother and not being close to me. His personality turned out this way.”She paused before adding, “Recently, a driver from the family made a foolish mistake. He stole Leo’s belongings and sold them. When Lucas found out, he had the man beaten severely. It was a horrifying scene, one I couldn’t bear to watch.”Aveline instinctively tightened her grip on the dress. Images of Bobby, beaten and bloodied, flashed through her mind. Was it Lucas who had ordered the beating?
