Lucas and Aveline arrived within an hour.

Aveline rushed upstairs, finding Selena still sitting in the bathtub, submerged in cold water, looking utterly miserable.

"Selena?"

Aveline's fingers trembled as she touched Selena's face.

Selena lifted her eyelids to look at her and forced a smile that was more pitiful than crying, "Ave, I almost died. I want to kill those bastards!"

Aveline grabbed a nearby towel and wrapped it around her. "Can you walk?"

Selena nodded. "The drug's effects have worn off."

A cold, steely glint appeared in Aveline's eyes as she helped Selena out of the bathroom.

The butler had already placed a set of women's clothes on the cabinet.

Aveline walked over, picked up the clothes, and handed them to Selena. "Change your clothes. We're going to get revenge."

Hearing this, Selena perked up immediately, hurriedly drying herself off and changing into the clothes.

"Damn, these are huge!"

Selena looked at the baggy clothes, a simple tracksuit that made her look like a child wearing an adult's clothes.

Aveline glanced at her and said, "Just deal with it for now. You can't stay in wet clothes."

Selena had to roll up the pant legs and sleeves several times before she could manage to walk out.

Downstairs, Lucas and Aaron were sitting on the living room sofa.

The moment they appeared, Lucas gaze fixed on Aveline's face, his lips pressed into a straight line, and a heavy aura of displeasure surrounded him.

Selena was the first to speak, "Lucas, you're slipping. There's a mole among your people? It's so dangerous around you, I think you should just divorce Ave as soon as possible. This time it was me; what if it's her next time?"

Even though she knew Lucas wasn't behind the abduction, Selena couldn't hold back her anger and needed to vent. She had always. disliked Lucas, and now she had the perfect opportunity to mock him. Lucas gave her a cold look. "Rescuing you seems unnecessary."

Selena was speechless.

She wanted to continue cursing, but Aveline held her hand. "Do you want to rest first or go see those men?"

Selena responded, "I want to tear them to pieces!"

Aveline looked at Lucas. "Where are those men being held?"

Lucas' sharp eyes fixed coldly on her. "Don't you have something to say to me?"

Aveline's eyelashes trembled slightly as she replied, "I misunderstood you. I'm sorry."

Selena interjected, "Why are you apologizing to him? How many times has he misunderstood you?"

Aveline remained silent.

The atmosphere in the living room grew cold and tense.

Aaron then said, "Let's go. Let's check on those men first. Don't argue in my house; you'll mess up the vibes."

He got up and walked out.Exclusive content © by Nô(v)el/Dr/ama.Org.

Aveline and Selena followed, with Lucas silently trailing behind them.

As they left the villa, Lucas took Aveline's hand and got into the car. Selena tried to follow but found the door locked.

Damn it...

She gritted her teeth and stood by the car, unmoving.
