The two girls looked at the man, and with a wave of his hand, they began leading Aveline down a narrow path.
At the end of the path was a parked van. Once Aveline was inside, she would have no chance of
escape.
She didn't struggle along the way, her heart filled with unbearable sorrow, tears streaming down like broken pearls.
It wasn't until she saw the van that her eyelashes fluttered.
Suddenly, she tightened her grip and dug her nails into the arms of the two girls.
"Ah!"
The two girls screamed in pain and instinctively let go of Aveline.
Deep scratches appeared where Aveline had clawed them.
Seizing the moment, Aveline turned and ran!
She had to run!
She couldn't resign herself to this fate!
"Damn it, get her!"
Behind her, the man cursed.
With his prey slipping away, his anger surged more than anyone's.
Fear and the will to survive gave Aveline immense strength, and for a moment, they couldn't catch up
to her!
She gritted her teeth, feeling the pain in her chest from the exertion.
It was from the lack of air in her lungs after the intense activity.
Just then, a figure suddenly emerged ahead!
Aveline's face turned even paler!
Did they have more accomplices?
But soon, she saw who it was.
It was Brian.
Brian quickly rushed past her and knocked down the men chasing her with a few swift moves. Then
he turned to Aveline.
"Mrs. Tudor, are you alright?"
His face was full of worry and guilt.
He had arrived too late!
If he had found Aveline earlier, none of this would have happened!
Seeing the men taken down, Aveline, with trembling lips, said, "Call the police, they're human traffickers."This text is property of NĂ´/velD/rama.Org.
Upon hearing this, Brian's expression turned even darker as he took out his phone and called the police.
Aveline suddenly felt a wave of relief, her strength leaving her as she sank to the ground.
She stared blankly ahead, tears streaming down her face again.
But soon, she wiped them away.
The police arrived quickly, and Aveline went with them to give a statement. When she came out, she saw Brian standing nearby.
"Mrs. Tudor, I've informed Mr. Tudor, He'll be here soon."
Aveline's face was expressionless as she said, "I want to go home."
Brian frowned, "Perhaps you should wait a bit..."
Aveline ignored him and walked to the roadside to hail a cab.
Soon, a taxi pulled up, and she gave the driver her neighborhood's name as she got in.
Brian w
watched from the roadside, taking out his phone to call Lucas again.
"Mr. Tudor, Mrs. Tudor has gone home."
Lucas hung up without a word.
He gripped the steering wheel tightly, the veins on the back of his hand standing out, his face a mix of coldness and anxiety.
He never imagined Aveline would go through such an ordeal!
How desperate must she have been?
Lucas pressed his lips into a tight line, his heart feeling as if it were being squeezed, making it hard to
breathe.
The car finally stopped in front of Selena's building.
He strode upstairs and knocked on the door.
But there was no response from inside.
Unwilling to give up, Lucas continued knocking, qu
