Chapter 110
Aveline’s face immediately darkened.
It seemed Selena had been right. She had been forced to come back for overtime because of Lucas.
Desmond tried to ignore her icy glare and handed her the file. “Miss Young, the data in this document is incorrect. Please recheck it.”
Aveline snatched the file, saying coldly, “If there’s nothing wrong with this data, I won’t forgive you.”
Desmond was speechless.
He felt completely at a loss.
“Miss Young, it was Mr. Tudor’s order, not mine,” Desmond quickly explained, trying to distance himself from the situation.
Aveline looked at him with disdain. “Is there any difference between you and him?”
Desmond kept quiet.
He returned to the CEO’s office, feeling like the sky was falling
It was really tough being an assistant to the CEO!
He took out his phone and sent a message to Brian on WhatsApp. ” Are you interested in becoming an assistant?”
Brian replied, “No, I’m just a bodyguard.”
Desmond texted, “Maybe you should consider it.”
Brian rejected firmly. “No.”
Desmond kept quiet.
Brian continued, “I know you’re trying to drag me into this mess.
Don’t even think about it.”
Desmond continued to stay quiet.
Aveline opened the file and carefully began to check the data.
After she finished, a cold smile appeared on her face. She took the file and headed straight to the CEO’s office.
But Lucas had already left.
Damn it!
Bastard!
Aveline’s face twisted in anger, and she slammed the file against the door, making a loud noise.
She took out her phone and called Desmond.
He declined the call.
Ha!
Fine!
Aveline called again, and he continued to decline.
Finally, she sent a message directly. “If you don’t pick up your phone now, you won’t hear from me ever again!”
Soon after, her phone rang.
“Miss Young? Did you finish checking the data?” Desmond’s voice. had a hint of forced politeness.
Aveline asked, “Where are you?”
Desmond replied, “Ah, I finished my work and left. Sorry, I forgot to inform you.”
Aveline demanded, “Put Laicas on the phone,”
Desmond glanced at the stern man sitting in the backseat, swallowed hard, and said, “Um, I’m not with Mr. Tudor right now. Why don’t you call him directly?”
Aveline’s temple throbbed with anger. She had blocked Lucas!
Calling him meant she would have to remove him from the blacklist!
How annoying!
Aveline asked, “Then please ask Mr. Tudor how he plans to handle. this since there’s nothing wrong with the data.”
Desmond replied, “Oh, Mr. Tudor said he made a mistake.”
Aveline retorted, “You’ve got to be kidding me…”
Before she could finish cursing, Desmond hung up the phone.
Aveline was so angry she could hardly breathe. How had she not realized before how infuriating Lucas could be?
One moment Desmond claimed they weren’t together, and the next, he relayed Lucas‘ message. Ha!
Did Lucas think she would remove him from the blacklist?
Not a chance!
Aveline opened the door to the CEO’s office, placed the file on the desk, and left, heading straight home.
But she couldn’t let it go!
She had to do something about this
Sitting on her sofa, Aveline thought for a long time. Suddenly, she got an idea and immediately left.

At a beautifully maintained nursing home.
Barbara was delighted to see Aveline. She held her hand and started chatting about all the delicious food she had eaten and the
interesting things she had seen recently.
Aveline cut straight to the point. “Grandma, your grandson is bullying me. Can you help me teach him a lesson?”
