Rebecca blinked. "Who is Aveline?"
Lacas replied, "The girl who came with me."
Rebecca, looking indifferent, said, "How would I know? P'm only concerned with you; everyone else is irrelevant to me. Perhaps she's never been here and found something she likes.
As the heiress of the Johnson family, Rebecca was confident that anyone who came to their house would always be impressed, let alone Aveline, that despicable woman! Lucas glared at her, a chilling coldness sweeping over Rebecca.
His tone grew colder. "Rebecca, please send someone to look for her. She's not familiar with this place, and it wouldn't be good if she damaged any of your things."
Rebecca laughed and said, "It's alright. She is your guest. If she likes something, I'll give it to her. Lucas, let's not talk about her anymore. Will you join me in making my birthday wishes?" She grabbed Lucas" arm again, shaking it like an innocent little princess
However, Lucas felt an inexplicable anxiety,This text is property of NĂ´/velD/rama.Org.
He had been calling Aveline the whole time, but she hadn't answered.
Aveline knew Rebecca didn't like her, so how could she have wandered off on her own?
Looking at Rebecca, Lucas' eyes grew colder. "Find her now."
Rebecca, feeling his cold attitude, pouted in grievance. "Lucas, how can you be so harsh to me? This is the second time today. Fine, I'll find her!
She called her bodyguards and ordered, "Go find the girl Lucas
brought. Bring her back immediately"
Annoyed, she muttered, "So frustrating. Why did she wander off? She's ruining my birthday."
Lucas' expression remained stern as he continued to make a call.
Rebecca glanced at his handsome, sharp features, a hint of infatuation in her eyes. "Lucas, will you join me in making my birthday wishes? I've already dispatched people to search for her. They'll bring her back once they locate her. There's no point in waiting here."
Lucas' expression was cold, but he didn't refuse her. He walked with her towards the massive cake tower.
However, he still sent a message to Maria, asking her to check the surveillance at the Johnson family villa.
Maria said, "I feel like slacking off."
Lucas replied, "You can feel all you want but get working immediately!
He put away his phone and accompanied Rebecca to the garden, where the massive cake tower was adorned with lights, looking very beautiful. Rebecca, beaming with joy, dragged Lucas over. She stood beneath it, clasped her hands together, and began making a wish.
Just then, Lucas' phone rang. It was a surveillance video clip from Maria. Upon seeing its contents, his expression immediately darkened.
Rebecca was still making her wish when, in the next second, Lucas forcefully grabbed her wrist, causing her so much pain she nearly screamed. "Rebecca, where did you take Aveline?" Lucas demanded.
His dark, ominous eyes were filled with a chilling intensity as he stared coldly at Rebecca as if he would tear her to pieces the next
moment.
Rebecca's face turned pale. "Lucas, you're hurting me. Let go."
Instead of letting go, Lucas tightened his grip on her wrist. "Tell me, where is Aveline?"
