Divorced

Aveline’s face darkened upon hearing this. She asked, “Mr. Zane, where are you

you now?”

Zane replied, “I’m heading back to Arthur Town. I have left many matters unattended for too long, I need to check on the situation back at home.”

Aveline closed her eyes briefly and said, “Til take you there.”

Zane tried to dissuade her, “No need, I didn’t bring much with me. Don’t trouble yourself.

But Aveline insisted, “Mr. Zane, it’s my fault we haven’t found Bobby. If you’re leaving, I must see you

off.”

In the end, Zane agreed,

Aveline hung up and returned to the private room. She said to Maria, “Miss María, I need to leave for

now.”

Maria stood up, is it urgent? Let me give you a ride.”

“No need, I can get a taxi. I’ll manage.” Aveline smiled politely, declining her offer.

Maria nodded. “Alright then, take care on the way.”

“Thanks”

Aveline left the restaurant and took a taxi to her recently rented apartment.

When she got out of the elevator, she saw Zane had already opened the door, clearly waiting for her.

Mr. Zane.”

Aveline walked over and saw that Zane had packed his things, ready to leave.

Zane smiled. “Aveline, thanks for taking care of me these past few days. When you come to Arthur Town make you some barbecue.”

I’ll

Aveline pursed her lips slightly and asked, “Did someone come to see you?”

Zane was taken aback and instinctively waved his hand. “No… no one.”

Seeing his reaction, Aveline understood what was going on. Original content from NôvelDrama.Org.

Lucas must have offered conditions that Zane couldn’t refuse.

She couldn’t fathom what Lucas had offered to make Zane give up on his own son.

Aveline felt very conflicted and didn’t know what to say.

Noticing her silence, Zane said, “Aveline, I probably won’t return to Cloudflare City. If you ever crave my barbecue, just come visit me. I’ll always be there.”

Aveline replied, “Mr. Zane, what if Bobby comes home and finds out his parents abandoned him? What then?”

Zane’s body trembled, his eyes turning red. “It’s his own fault!

His emotions suddenly flared up. “He stole from his employers and sold their belongings to pay off his gambling debts. Do you know how much he owed? Forty million dollars! I’ve never seen that much money in my life. How could he do that? How could he?”

Zane sat on the couch, covering his face with his hands.

Aveline was stunned. Bobby had been gambling?

But in her memory, Bobby was honest, loyal, and without any bad habits. How could he have gotten involved in gambling?

“Mr. Zane, is this true?” Aveline couldn’t believe it. “Could there be some misunderstanding?”

Zane sighed heavily and said, “That Desmond sent me surveillance videos of Bobby gambling. I saw it all. To repay his debts, he stole from his employers. He sold those things for forty million dollars. I heard those items were very important to them, likely the belongings of someone deceased, so.

Zane choked up. “They didn’t send Bobby to jail because they thought that would be too light of a punishment.”
