After the CEO Divorced Me, He Wants Me Back



Chapter 81

"Forget it, let's not think about that for now. Let's focus on moving," Aveline said, unable to come up with another plan, so she decided not to dwell on it.

Selena nodded in agreement. "At least you'll finally get to live in that big house you've always wanted. That's something good."

Aveline smiled faintly.

She packed a bag with toiletries and, along with Selena, headed to Maple Garden.

When they arrived at the entrance, the security guard stopped them and required registration before allowing entry.

This reassured Aveline. At least that man wouldn't be able to find her here.

Lucas had given her the apartment on the 31st floor. As they exited the elevator, they were greeted by an incredibly luxurious and ornate front door.

Aveline used the key to open the door. As she took in the interior, a look of amazement flashed in her eyes.

As they entered, the security guard quickly called Desmond.

"Mr. Blake, Miss Young has arrived."

Desmond replied, "Got it."

He immediately informed Lucas of the situation.

"Okay," Lucas responded, his expression indifferent, showing no particular reaction.

Desmond hesitated before asking, "Mr. Tudor, since the check has been frozen, should we take back the apartment?"

Lucas lifted his gaze, his dark eyes glinting with a chilly light as he looked at Desmond.

A shiver ran down Desmond's spine.

Did he say something wrong?

What did he say wrong?

Freezing the check was Lucas' order, wasn't it?

He was just following Lucas' logic. Was that not right?

"I have something to take care of. I'll be going now," Desmond said hurriedly, turning to leave. It wasn't until he exited the office that the chill finally began to fade.

Selena sank into the leather sofa with a satisfied sigh. "This is the life of the rich."

Aveline replied, "Miss Quin, don't be modest. You're quite wealthy yourself."

Selena waved her hand dismissively. "My money is nothing compared to this."

Aveline's mouth twitched, but she said nothing more.

The house was fully furnished, so they only needed to get some everyday items to settle in.

Lucas might not be a good person, but he had good taste. She really liked this house!

Aveline decided to go shopping. With millions in her account now, she could get rid of her old things and buy new ones.

"Let's go cash the check first," Aveline said happily.

Selena nodded. "Ave, I can cook, clean, and keep the bed warm. Please take me in!"

Aveline playfully lifted Selena's chin. "You don't need to do all that. Just keeping the bed warm will do!"

Selena dramatically hit Aveline's chest. "Oh, you're terrible."

After that, the two of them took the check to the bank, only to be told that the check had been frozen!

Aveline widened her eyes in disbelief. "Frozen?"

"Yes, the account holder froze it, so you can't withdraw the money. If you have any questions, you need to communicate with the account holder," the bank clerk explained.

Aveline came out of the bank holding the check, which now seemed worthless. She was at a loss.

Selena didn't know what to say either. "I've seen some mean people, but this is beyond belief. Not only won't he divorce you, but he's also withholding the money? What's his deal?"

Aveline took out her new phone and dialed Lucas's number. But as soon as she connected, he hung up. She tried again, but Lucas kept hanging up.

This infuriated her to the point where she almost dropped her phone. Then, her phone vibrated. It was a message from the jerk.

Lucas wrote, "Come back to work, or your salary will be deducted."noveldrama
