Chapter 578

Sasha was startled by Aveline’s sudden outburst. “What’s wrong with you?”

Maria held Aveline close, feeling the intense emotions radiating from her. It pained Maria deeply–no girl could remain calm after experiencing something so traumatic. “Aveline, it’s over now. You’re safe,” Maria murmured softly, trying to offer some comfort.

But Aveline suddenly shoved Lucas away, her eyes still brimming with tears, but now burning with fury. “You’re going to avenge me? Don’t you find that laughable?”

Lucas‘ brow furrowed, his expression darkening. The violent energy that had surrounded him moments ago seemed to dissipate, leaving him unable to respond.

Aveline trembled as she spoke, her voice filled with bitterness. “Last time, Sophia and Barbara teamed up against me. They tricked me into going to the hospital, drugged me, and locked me in a container by the sea. The water kept rising, and I almost drowned! And what did you do? When Sophia tried to kill me, what did you do? What did you do?” She wiped at her face, trying to clear away the tears, but they only kept coming, her voice quivering with anger. “You ignored it. Fine, I handled it myself. She wanted to destroy me, so I set out to ruin everything she cared about!

“She wanted a place in the Winter family, so I sabotaged her projects, making her family lose faith in her. She wanted to marry you, so I stayed by your side to spite her. We agreed on all of this beforehand!”

By the end, she was nearly screaming, tears streaming down her face. “But what did you do, Lucas? Russell locked her in a container to make her suffer the same way I did, but Brian rescued her. Just when her project was about to collapse, you suddenly invested in her company and saved her! Lucas, tell me, what are you trying to do?”

As Aveline’s tearful accusations rang out, the darkness on Lucas’s face vanished, replaced by a look of stunned confusion.

“I didn’t send Brian to rescue her, nor did I invest in her company,” Lucas insisted, his voice tense. “Aveline, could it be that Russell lied to you? I’ve told you before–his intentions aren’t pure. Now he’s feeding you lies, trying to drive a wedge between us.‘ “Hah, hahahaha!” Aveline’s laughter was bitter and full of sarcasm. “Lucas, do you really think our relationship needs someone else to sabotage it?”

Her expression was full of self–mockery. “Why? Whether it’s love or hate, why do I have to endure this from you? Everything that’s happened to me is because of you, Lucas.

Can’t you just let me go? I’m begging you, please, just let me go!”

As she spoke, Aveline broke free from Maria’s arms and dropped to her knees in front of Lucas, her face twisted in pain. “I’ll kneel, I’ll bow to you–just let me go!”

Her eyes were filled with a desperate longing for release. Text © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

Lucas‘ eyes widened in shock.

Instinctively, he grabbed her arms and pulled her up. “Aveline, what are you doing?”

He clenched his jaw, struggling to contain his emotions. “I told you, I didn’t do any of those things. Whatever punishment you want for Sophia, I’ll help you carry it out!”

But Aveline’s entire body trembled with sobs. The trauma of what she had just gone through, combined with everything she had endured before, was pushing her to the brink of a mental breakdown.
