After the CEO Divorced Me, He Wants Me Back (Aveline and Lucas)
Chapter 811

"Huh?"

Aveline was momentarily stunned and asked in confusion, "Why is he trending? Why is he being criticized?"

Selena replied, "Oh, it's a long story-I can't explain it in just a few words. You need to check it out for yourself!" Aveline frowned tightly.

What was going on?

She had only been away for one night, and suddenly, this was happening?

Without ending the call, she exited the screen and opened the app. The top trending topic was about Lucas.

She clicked on it, and when she saw the content of the video, she immediately sat up.

"Did you see it? Hahaha, that jerk is finally getting what he deserves! He's being slammed across the internet-it feels so good!" Selena's voice came through, her laughter wild and unrestrained.

The video clip only showed the moment Lucas kicked the middle-aged woman, without any context before or after, and Aveline wasn't visible in the footage. No one knew Lucas had acted to protect her. Aveline pressed her lips together, scrolling through the comments below...

"Damn, did he really kick her that hard? That woman was knocked right to the ground!"

-"This guy looks terrifying. And he's the Chairman of Tudor Group? I'm never buying anything from Tudor again!"

"Apologize! Just because you have power and money doesn't mean you're above the law. No matter how rich you are, you still have to face justice!"

-"Apologize!"

-"Bullying the weak and helpless-why don't you just drop dead?"

The curses below grew even more vicious, and Aveline stopped scrolling.

Her feelings were a tangled mess.

She closed her eyes for a moment and said, "Selena, he hit that person to protect me."

"What?"

Selena's excited, peculiar laughter abruptly stopped. "Wait, what? What else happened that I don't know about?"

Aveline then told her what had happened at the hospital the day before.

After hearing this, Selena was silent for a moment, then hesitantly said, "So... I blamed the wrong person? He actually did something decent for once? That's... surprising!" Aveline replied, "I'll give him a call to find out what's going on."

"Alright, go ahead and ask him," Selena said, not wanting to waste any more of Aveline's time.

Aveline immediately dialed Lucas's number, but it was constantly busy.

No matter how many times she tried, the call never went through.

Feeling restless, Aveline went to the studio, but Maria wasn't there.

Instead, Sidney noticed the concern on her face and hesitated before asking, "Is it because of what's trending online?"

Aveline looked at him in surprise. "You know about it too?"

Sidney nodded. "It's not just me.

Anyone with a phone knows about it

by now The buzz isn't dying

down in fact, it's getting worse.

Someone's clearly fanning the

flames behind the scenes.

He paused, then added, "Still, there's no excuse for hitting someone out of the blue. That's on him."

Thinking about Lucas' cold demeanor toward Aveline, Sidney couldn't help but ask, "He hasn't... hit you, has he?" Aveline felt a wave of discomfort and quickly explained, "He only acted to protect me. And no, he's never hit me."

Sidney watched her instinctively

defend Lucas and remained silent

for a moment. After a long pause, he finally said, "Aveline, maybe you haven't even realized how worked

you are about him right nov

Aveline froze at his words.

He was right...

She was genuinely worried about Lucas. Ever since she'd heard the news, she'd been unable to focus, her mind constantly drifting back to him. Sitting in front of her computer, she'd lost count of how many times she had zoned out, unable to concentrate on a single word.
