NovelEnglishChapter 395 In the car, Lucas glanced at Aveline, noticing her still sour mood. What now? Even though I wasn't the one who had Selena taken, you're still upset with me?" Aveline looked up at him. "Don't you think Selena has a point?" Lucas' thin lips curled into a mocking smile. "In your eyes, everything she says is always right, isn't it?" Aveline fell silent; it was true. Selena had always looked out for her from the start.
Lucas pulled a cigarette from his pocket, lit it, and half-closed his eyes. "Don't even think about divorce. I'll have Brian protect you in secret, and I'll assign a few bodyguards to you as well." Aveline said, "That's quite a bit of trouble. It must cost a lot of money." Lucas glanced at her. "I have money.
Aveline chuckled lightly. The smell of smoke suddenly irritated her, and she reached out, grabbed his cigarette, and tossed it out the window.
His fingers were left empty.

This was the first tshe had taken his cigarette away.
His gaze turned deep and dark, filled with a burning intensity.
Aveline suddenly regretted taking his cigarette.
She said, "They've already gone far. We should catch up." Lucas stared at her for a long moment before starting the car to follow.
Not far from there, another villa stood with high walls, exuding a cold and solemn atmosphere.
Guards stood at the entrance and greeted Lucas respectfully, "Mr. Tudor." Aaron had already arrived and was leaning against his car, playing with his phone. Seeing them arrive late, he raised an eyebrow and said, "Not enough tto get much done, was it?" Lucas gave him a cold look. "No wonder you don't have a wife." Aaron muttered a curse under his breath.

"No." Selena sighed in relief. "That's good." The villa gates were already open, and Lucas led the way inside, with Desmond waiting for them.
"Mr. Tudor, we've looked into those men. A few days ago, each of their bank accounts received a substantial overseas transfer, with each amount being no less than four hundred thousand dollars." He handed Lucas the information.

Aveline asked, "Have you found out who paid them?" Desmond replied, "We're still investigating. The overseas accounts are virtual and disappear after transactions, making it difficult." Selena scoffed. "And you call yourself an executive assistant?" Desmond fell silent and thought, "Miss Quin, I haven't wronged you, have 12"
Seeing Desmond's inner frustration, Selena lifted her chin and said, I can't stand him. You're his assistant, sa you get caught in the crossfire. Unless you resign now, I'll apologize immediately." Desmond was speechless and thought, "How did Mrs. Tudor end up with a friend like this?" The captives were being held in the basement.
Aveline and Selena followed behind, and as they reached the lowest level, they heard weak moans growing louder.
Selena eagerly hurried forward to see. When the door opened, them scene inside was gruesome. Three men were hanging on the walls, covered in blood.
