Chapter 186 Yvonne left the beauty salon.
Aveline hadn't been sleeping well lately. She lay on the bed, and as the therapist started massaging her, she soon fell asleep.
When she woke up again, it was already dark outside. Aveline left the salon and took out her phone to call a taxi.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtShe hadn't noticed earlier, but the salon was on the outskirts of the city, making it difficult to find a ride. After waiting for a while by the roadside, she finally saw a taxi approaching slowly. "Where to?" the driver asked once she got in.
Aveline replied, "Maple Garden." She then checked her phone for messages and saw one from Selena complaining about Aaron. The last message caught her attention.
Selena asked, "Do you have an extra Whataccount?" Aveline replied, "What do you need it for?" Selena texted, "This jerk is givingsuch a hard time. I need to get back at him. I've found a way. Just wait and see!" Aveline replied, "Don't go too far. If you push him too much, you'll end up suffering." Selena texted, "Don't worry, I know what I'm doing." After replying with "Okay," Aveline didn't say anything more.
She sent the evidence of the food poisoning to Lucas, but he hadn't responded. Her long lashes fluttered slightly before she closed the chat with him.
Just then, a faint fragrance filled the car. Aveline, sensitive to scents and not fond of perfume, frowned and glanced forward. She noticed the driver wearing a hat and mask, his face completely covered.
A sudden unease swept through her. She gripped her phone tightly and pretended to stay calm while continuing to look at her phone.
She dialed a number without checking who it was due to her nervousness. When it connected, she realized it was Lucas' number.
Yes, he was at the top of her contacts because she had called him earlier when the bodyguards wouldn't let her see him at the hospital. He hadn't answered and had eventually turned off his phone. Aveline pressed her lips together. She wanted to hang up, but her anxiety made her fingers tremble slightly, and a faint hope surfaced. "Beep..... beep..... beep..." After three rings, the call was connected.

Stunned, she instinctively gripped her phone tighter and finally said, "Letd. "Letr speak to him. I have something important to discuss." Sophia, agitated, started coughing, then said, "Lucas, it's Aveline." "Hang up." His cold, deep voice cthrough with no warmth, and Aveline's heart sank instantly.
Sophia promptly ended the call.
Aveline's face turned pale. It wasn't Sophia causing trouble or anyone! else rejecting her, it was him, directly saying to hang up on her.
The flicker of hope in her heart felt like a slap across her face, leaving her cheeks burning and her mind in a daze. D X
