Chapter 78
the same time, the results of Sin’s investigation came through.
Lucas opened his phone and sasteral photos. The pictures showed reline walking side by side with Russell, sitting together at a breakfast spot, and leaving the place together.
The atmosphere in the car grew tense, and Lucas’s expression
umed icy cold. His dark eyes watched the approaching figures, who were chatting and laughing
Instead of resting at the Tudor residence during the night, she was our bading breacast with Russell?
They weren’t even divorced yet, and she was already eager to find
sumeme else
Meanwide. Brian looked at the other photos he had not sent to
Luces. These images showed Aveline being followed, her hair being grabbed as she was dragged into a dark alley, and Russell suddenly appearing to rescue her.
Bulan chose not to send these to Luces
in his point of view, it was unnecessary.
Avelline was never a good match for Lucas.
They were from different worlds.
At was better for them to divorce sooner rather than later.
Sophia had waited for Lucas for so long, her waiting shouldn’t be in
Without any expression, Brian deleted the additional photos.

“Thank you for sending me back home,” Aveline said with a slight smile to Russell.
“Do you want me to walk you up? The security around here isn’t great. I suggest you consider moving to a safer place,” Russell replied.
Aveline shook her head. “No need. The police are looking for him now, so he probably won’t dare come back. I’m moving soon anyway, and I’ll invite you over to my new place.”
Russell smiled, a mischievous glint in his handsome face. “Am I your first guest?”
Aveline nodded. “Yes.”
Russell said, “It’s an honor.”
Aveline extended her hand. “Do you have a pen? Give me your phone number. I’ll get a new phone and call you.”
Her phone had been smashed.
She felt awkward because she had intended to treat him to breakfast, but he ended up paying.
Aveline thought she needed to repay this meal.
Russell replied, “I don’t have one on me,
but I remember your
number. I’ll call you later.”
“Alright.” Aveline nodded.
Just as she was about to say more, she sensed something and turned to see Lucas‘ tall figure standing in the shadows not far away.
She froze, her heart sinking.
Russell noticed Lucas as well and said, “It looks like your husband still cares about you. I’ll be on my way.”
Aveline nodded. “Alright, take care.”
Russell nodded and turned to leave.
Aveline turned her gaze from Russell to Lucas. The thought of how
she had tried to reach out to Lucas for help, but couldn’t get
through, caused a sharp pain in her heart.
If it weren’t for Russell, she might have been dead by now.
She took a deep breath and walked over, asking, “What are you doing here?”
Lucas looked at her darkly. “Why didn’t you answer my calls? Did I interrupt your date?”
Aveline’s brows furrowed immediately. “Lucas, what are you talking about?”
Was he crazy? Saying such things?
He went to see Sophia in the middle of the night, and she didn’t say anything about it. Now he had the nerve to accuse her?
He was utterly shameless.
“Aveline, from the way you’ve been acting, I thought you still cared about me. But I see I was wrong. The real reason you’re so eager to divorce is because of him, isn’t it?” Lucas said in a serious tone, finding his own behavior unfamiliar.
