Lucas held her tightly, feeling the weight of her sadness pressing between them.

"You'll find them," he murmured softly. "And if they disappoint you, you can choose to walk away."

Aveline closed her eyes for a moment before finally speaking. "Let go of me, please. I need to take a walk."

Lucas released her, relieved to see that her expression had calmed.

Arthur Town was small, and in just a short walk, Aveline reached the end of the street. Beyond lay an open field, where she stood on the roadside, letting the cold wind wash over her.

Lucas watched her from a short distance when his phone rang.

He answered, "Yes?"

Baron's voice came through, "Mr. Tudor, we've confirmed that the guards were sent by Juliet, the heiress of the Cooper family. Juliet once stayed at the orphanage in Arthur Town. Over the years, Hilda has kept in close contact with her. In fact, for the past few months, Hilda had been staying at one of Juliet's properties."

Hilda had claimed that someone had taken Aveline's place and that her biological parents were wealthy.

Lucas replied, "Leak the news that Juliet isn't the Cooper family's biological daughter. Let's see how they react first."

Now everything was clear-Aveline was the true daughter of the Coopers.

But he wasn't ready to tell her yet. He needed to see how the Coopers would respond. If they insisted on keeping Juliet, then reconnecting might not be worth it.
