Chapter 99

"Hello?"

Lucas had just returned to the Tudor residence when he received Aveline's call. He answered almost immediately.

Aveline tried to keep her voice steady, but a hint of tremor slipped through. "Lucas, where is the bodyguard you arranged for me? The one who's supposed to protect me closely?"

Lucas noticed the urgency in her tone and asked, "What happened?"

Aveline insisted, "I need a bodyguard close to me at all times."

Lucas replied, "If you don't tell me what happened, I can't help you."

Aveline retorted, "I don't care. I just want a bodyguard who will immediately appear whenever I need him."

Lucas's eyes darkened when he sensed Aveline was in danger. "Alright, I'll arrange it."

"Do it quickly," Aveline said before hanging up.
