Chapter 70 She just wanted to punish Lucas a little! "You've been too reckless!" Hank's expression darkened as he pointed at Judy angrily. "You're staying hfrom now on. You're not allowed to go anywhere!!! With that, he turned and hurried to his study.
Back at the hotel.
Aveline started packing her things. She didn't have much, as she had bought most of her stuff after arriving.
She packed everything into a small bag and was about to leave when the door opened, and a middle-aged man walked in. Brian followed behind, giving her a cold look.
Aveline instinctively took a step back. Why was he always glaring at her? Lucas saw that she had finished packing and walked over. "Wait a moment, we'll leave together." Aveline blinked. "Once we get back, let's finalize the divo-" Lucas suddenly covered her mouth. "Wait for me." He then turned and entered the study with the middle-aged man.

Aveline kept quiet and glared back, thinking that if he kept staring at her, she would go over and gouge his eyes out.
Back in her room, Aveline's expression gradually changed to one of +15 BONUS deep thought.
The middle- aged man who had entered the study was Hank, the head of the Thompson family and president of the Larbor City Chamber of Commerce. Did his presence mean he was involved in this situation? Aveline pondered this when her phone rang. She looked at the screen and saw it was an unfamiliar number.
She didn't plan to answer, but then thought it might be someone from work needing her, as she'd been on leave for several days...
"Hello?" She answered the call, but there was no immediate response.
Aveline looked at her phone in confusion; it showed the call was connected. "Hello, who is this?" "Hello there..." A harsh, raspy voice cthrough the phone, sending a chill down Aveline's spine.
Her face turned pale.
She quickly hung up, her heart racing. The voice was terrifying, unlike anything a normal person could produce, leaving her feeling deeply unsettled. Was someone playing a prank on her? How childish could someone be? She looked at the number and blocked it immediately. Clearly, answering unknown calls wasn't a good idea. Night fell.
A knock on her door jolted Aveline awake. She looked towards the door, still shaken.
"Who is it?" "It's me." Lucas' deep, magnetic voice cthrough, and he opened the door, turning on the light to see her pale face.

A flicker of concern, unnoticed even by himself, passed through his eyes: He walked over quickly and asked, "What happened? Are you feeling unwell?" "No." Aveline shook her head, then added, "I had a nightmare."
She had dozed off and even in her dream, she heard that horrifying e t eerie vorde. "Are we leaving?" she asked.
"Yes," Lucas replied. "Are you hungry? Do you want to eat before we go?" "No, let's just go," Aveline said, eager to leave.
"Alright." They left the hotel together, and Brian was nowhere to be seen.
By the ttheir plane landed, it was already past midnight.
Aveline turned to Lucas, "Lucas, can you givea ride?"
Lucas responded coolly, "Either cstay at the Tudor residence withor get a cab hyourself. Aveline orget was speechless. COMMENTS Like RICH WOMEN? These women desperately want a mature men! JOIN NOW *Waming* these rich women will persue you.
