Selena said, "Alright, I'll pick out your favorites." "Okay," Aveline agreed, sitting on the sofa with a water cup, and putting the call on speaker. "Is your injury fully healed?" "Mm-hmm," Selena responded. "Of course, I've had my fun and need to get back to you. Otherwise, what if someone else takes my place?" Aveline laughed. "No way, you're my one and only." "Really? Can I tell Lucas that? Will he killif I do?" Selena teased.
Aveline replied, "He wouldn't dare." Selena continued, "Wow, listen to you. It sounds like you've got him wrapped around your finger. Tellwhat happened while I was gone." Aveline's expression turned more subdued. "Nothing much, really. We're getting divorced soon." "Seriously?" Selena's voice shot up, "He agreed to the divorce?" "I made a bet with him. If I win, we divorce," Aveline explained.
Selena exclaimed, "Sweetie, aren't you afraid of losing?" "I won't," Aveline's tone was confident. She firmly believed in Zane's integrity. Even if you put a mountain of gold in front of him, he wouldn't waver! Selena added, "But I don't think it's that simple. There's no way that scumbag would agree to such a bet easily. Are you sure he doesn't have something up his sleeve?" Hearing this, Aveline frowned.
What if Lucas had kidnapped Lily to threaten Zane? It was the kind of thing he would do to get his way! "Ave?" Selena called out when Aveline didn't respond for a while.
Aveline said, "You've reminded me. I'll call him now." "Ave, the bet is already in place. What good will calling him do now?" Selena sighed helplessly.

Pressing her lips together, Aveline said, "I still need to ask him." Selena replied, "Alright, go ahead." "Okay," Aveline said, then hung up and immediately dialed Lucas' number.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"Hello?" Lucas' tone was surprisingly pleasant, as he hadn't expected her to call him.
Aveline got straight to the point, "Lucas, regarding our bet, I don't want anyone else involved." At her words, the pleasant tone in Lucas' voice vanished instantly.
He let out a slight chuckle. "Aveline, if you're going to play this gwith me, you need to follow the fules. The ghas already started, and now you want to add new conditions? Isn't that a bit inappropriate?"
He avoided directly answering her question, which only fueled her m suspicion that he had indeed involved Lily. The only thinne that could force Zane to comply were Bobby and his wife.
Aveline's tone turned colder. "Lucas, the bet is between the three of us and has nothing to do with anydne else if you're using Madam Lily to threaten Zane into leaving Cloudflare City, then the terms of the bet are null and void!" Comments X
