Chapter 214
Lucas gritted his teeth in anger, now waiting nothing more than to grab Aveline and strangle her!
The Maple Garden house was a meticulously chosen gift from him. How dare she sell it?
The pressure in the room intensified, and the coldness in the air seemed to freeze.
Russell frowned, seeing the murderous look in Lucas‘ eyes. He suddenly felt worried for Aveline. This madman might actually try to kill her. He needed to warn her to get out of town quickly.
Lucas‘ cold gaze fell on Russell’s face, his voice icy. “Mr. Skyler, you don’t need this house. Name your price, I’ll buy it.”
Russell laughed as if he had heard a hilarious joke. “Lucas, did I hear you right? You want to buy this house back? Are you that desperate to throw your money away?”
Lucas‘ expression remained haughty and detached. “I’ll have someone contact you. Within three days, I expect you to move out.”
With that, he turned and left, heading straight for Aveline’s current residence.
Russell snorted. The house was in his hands now; he had no intention of selling it. He took out his phone and called Aveline.
“Hello? Ave, Lucas just left my place. He’s probably on his way to find you. Be careful, ” he said as soon as she picked up.
Aveline’s cheerful voice came through. “Thanks, Russ. I’ve already left Cloudflare City.”
“Huh?” Russell paused, sitting up straight. “Where are you going?”
Aveline replied, “Just going home for a visit.”
Russell remarked, “You sure move fast. He shouldn’t be able to find you now. Take this chance to enjoy yourself.”
“I will,” Aveline said.
Russell reminded her, “Don’t forget about the gala in a week. It would be embarrassing to attend without a date.”

Aveline chuckled. “Don’t worry, I’ll be back in a week.”
“Good,” Russell said, hanging up.
The plane had already taken off.
Aveline put her phone away, donned her eye mask, and allowed herself to relax completely. She knew Lucas would definitely look for her, but she hadn’t expected it to be so soon!
However, she had already sold the house, so what could he possibly do about it? And she was already on the plane–was he going to ground it mid–flight?
Aveline smirked and soon fell asleep.
Three hours later, the plane landed in Stonefall City and headed straight for Arthur Town.
got into her pre–booked car
She had grown up in an orphanage in Arthur Town. Russell’s words had struck a chord with her. Perhaps she really should try to find her biological parents. Her life shouldn’t be filled only with painful memories.
When she arrived at Arthur Town, it was already the early hours of the morning.
Aveline checked into a hotel. Arthur Town was a small, poor town, and the hotel she chose was the best available. There were no strange smells in the room. She took a
shower and then turned on her phone.
Countless notifications flooded in. Many were from an unfamiliar number, but judging by the content, she knew they were from Lucas.
She deleted them all with one click, then got into bed and started watching videos on her phone.
Having napped on the plane, she wasn’t very sleepy now.
While scrolling, a call came in from an unknown number. She ignored it and blocked the number. But as soon as she blocked one, another call from a different number came in, relentless and unyielding.
