Tears welled up in Rebecca's eyes from the pain.

When she met Lucas' icy gaze, she shrank back in fear and said, "I... I don't know where she went, Lucas. You're really hurting me!"

Lucas, emanating a chilling aura, showed her the surveillance video on his phone. The footage, discovered by Maria, revealed Aveline being brought to Rebecca, who then said something before the bodyguards. carried Aveline away.

However, there was no further footage showing where they took her.

Rebecca widened her eyes. "I... I..."

Lucas grabbed a nearby wine glass and smashed it, then pointed the broken edge at her face. "Tell me, where is Aveline?"

Seeing his fierce expression, Rebecca's face turned pale with fear. "I'll tell you, I'll tell you, just let go of me..."

Lucas looked terrifying!

He actually wanted to disfigure her for that despicable woman!

Rebecca couldn't help but hate Aveline even more.

Lucas coldly released her hand, his icy gaze fixed on her.

Suddenly, Rebecca saw Reynold and immediately started crying, running into his arms. "Dad, Lucas is so mean to me!"

Rebecca had never suffered such grievances before.

Reynold patted her shoulder, his face darkening as he looked at Lucas. Lucas, what are you doing?"

Lucas silently showed him the video,

Seeing the footage, Reynold's face grew even darker. He immediately instructed the butler, "Find this young lady at once!"

The butler replied, "Yes, sir."Exclusive content © by Nô(v)el/Dr/ama.Org.

He promptly ordered people to search the villa and courtyard.

Lucas said, "Why go to such trouble? Just ask her."

Rebecca's eyes flickered.

By now, Aveline had surely been devoured by those mastiffs. Even if she hadn't been eaten by them, she must have been severely injured. She just needed to stall for a bit longer until that wretch was dead for good.

"I don't know, I really don't know..." Rebecca cried, shaking her head, her face pale.

Reynold said, "Lucas, I've already sent people to look for her. Rebecca is scared enough; don't target her anymore.

Lucas' face grew even colder. "Mr. Reynold, she's the one who took Aveline away. Are you sure you still want to protect her?"

Reynold paused, sensing Rebecca's tension.

He patted her shoulder and said, "Rebecca, you've gone too far this time. Go to your room and reflect on your actions. Don't come out until I give permission."

"Dad!" Rebecca looked at him in disbelief.

Today was her birthday, how could he punish her with confinement?

She had never been punished like this before.

Reynold stared at her sternly. "Go now!"

Rebecca bit her lip, urfwillingly running towards the villa. Her hatred for Aveline reached its peak. That wretch better be dead, or she would never let her go!1

Lucas' expression remained dark, dissatisfied with the outcome.

Reynold approached, patting Lucas on the shoulder reassuringly. "You know I've spoiled Rebecca, Lucas. Maybe she was just playing a prank on this young lady. Once we locate her, everything will be fine." COIN BUNDLE: get more free bonus
