Chapter 126

Russell said, "I'll go with you. He won't dare to bully you with me around."

Aveline felt a warmth in her heart but smiled and refused, "No, it's fine. Since we're still married, it'll be easier for me to handle things."

Russell's eyes flickered for a moment before he nodded. "Alright, but call me if you need anything."

"Okay."

Russell turned and left.

Aveline made her way to the A12 private room. Standing at the door, she took two deep breaths to steady her emotions before pushing it open.

The room was spacious, with a view of the scene below. The noise filtered up, though it was quieter than downstairs.

Lucas sat on the sofa, holding a glass of wine in one hand and a cigarette in the other, exuding a cold and dignified presence.

Opposite him, a handsome stranger was curiously observing her.

Aveline didn't have time to pay attention to him. She searched for Selena and found her being held down in a chair by Brian. Seeing Aveline, Selena tried to get up, but Brian pushed her back down.
