After the CEO Divorced Me, He Wants Me Back

No one responded to her hysterical outburst.

Aveline felt like she was going mad! She had been played!

Not only had she failed to see Annie, but now she was utterly helpless, and her vision was gone!

What should she do? What could she do next?

Confusion, helplessness, self-blame, regret...

These emotions overwhelmed her, swallowing her whole. She crouched down in pain, hugging herself as her body trembled uncontrollably.

Meanwhile, Baron and Braden circled the mall several times but still couldn't find Aveline. They realized something had gone wrong!

Baron quickly reported the situation to Lucas, while Braden contacted Maria and hacked into the mall's surveillance system to search for Aveline. Lucas' expression was dark and stormy.

Watching the surveillance footage, he saw Aveline enter the women's restroom. Less than ten minutes later, a woman with a similar build, heavily disguised, emerged. He immediately said, "Switch the camera, follow her!"

"Got it," Maria replied, her fingers working quickly on the keyboard, though she couldn't help but wonder, "What was Aveline up to? Why would she go through so much trouble to shake off the people Lucas had assigned to protect her? Where was she going?"

The surveillance footage continued to follow Aveline's disguised figure, switching from camera to camera, tracking her to the outskirts of the city.
