Divorced 18
Chapter 18
Strange, why was there nobody around during the midday break?
Aveline panicked, her face tensing up.
“Stop!”
“I saw her company ID. She must be from DK Group!”
“Get her! We must demand justice!”
The people behind her caught up in a rush. Aveline became even more anxious and ran in one direction, but the next moment, she stumbled and fell forward, barely managing to steady herself. It was impossible to run anymore.
A dozen or so people confronted Aveline with aggressive
momentum.
“Who are you?”
Aveline steadied her emotions and looked at them with her beautiful eyes.
Paul Thial, the man with a full beard, said, “My brother, Peter Thial, was working here and got his leg broken. I see you’re from DK Group. You must give us an explanation!”
Aveline frowned. “I understand your concern about your brother’s accident, but someone else should handle this matter.”
Paul waved his hand. “Handle what? Those from DK Group didn’t care about my brother’s condition at all! They just compensated a few thousand dollars to my brother. He broke his leg! And they just gave him a few thousand dollars? Are you kidding me?”
Paul was dissatisfied with the compensation.
Aveline replied, “But targeting me won’t help. I’m just a mere employee.”
Paul said, “I don’t care, you must give us an explanation today, or I’ll break your leg too. Then, Ill compensate you with a few thousand dollars. Let’s see if you would be happy with that!”
Paul was determined to make things difficult for her.Belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - All rights reserved.
Aveline forgot to breathe for a moment. Why didn’t she check her horoscope before leaving today? What terrible luck.
This was the first time she had encountered such a situation. It would be a lie to say she wasn’t panicking, but now, she had to calm Paul down.
She smiled. “Sir, I know you want justice for your brother. How about this, let me go first. I’ll go back and talk to the company and arrange for someone to deal with it properly. How about that?”
Paul’s expression showed a hint of hesitation.
“Paul, don’t listen to her, she’s just making excuses. If we let her go, she won’t care about us anymore!”
“Yeah, we can’t let her go!”
Someone in the crowd expressed dissatisfaction..
Aveline was about to say something when suddenly, Paul, who was in front of her, widened his eyes.
She was still puzzled when the next moment, she felt a sharp pain in the back of her head!
Even the safety helmet was shattered!
Her pupils suddenly dilated, and then her whole body went limp and collapsed.
“Aveline!”
As her consciousness faded, she seemed to hear Lucas‘ anxious voice.
She felt dazed for a moment. How could this be possible?
She hadn’t gone to the lawyer’s office to file for divorce. He must be so mad at her now, so how could he be here? And how could he call out to her in such a nervous tone?
Darkness completely enveloped her, and the voices around her disappeared.
Tick… tick!
She heard the sound of machinery operating around her. Aveline opened her eyes, inhaling the strong scent of disinfectant. She moved her fingers, and someone immediately grabbed her hand.
“Ave, are you awake?”
She turned her gaze and saw Lucas sitting beside her, his handsome face tinged with worry, his eyes blinking as he stared
at her.
Was she dreaming?
Otherwise, why was she seeing her Lu?
She moved slightly and immediately felt a sharp pain in the back. of her head. She sucked in a breath of cold air, and her small face wrinkled up!
“Don’t move, you’ve got a cracked skull and a mild concussion. You need to rest,” Lucas said immediately.
Aveline looked at him dazedly. “Aren’t you here to settle scores with me?”
