Divorced 85
Russell looked at her and said helplessly, "Miss Young, don't you realize the situation you're in? How can you still be smiling?
Aveline replied, "So, would crying help?"
Russell was momentarily speechless, and the casual smile in his eyes faded a bit. This woman was interesting.
Lucas watched the two of them banter, his expression growing colder and more serious, with a chilling aura surrounding him. He turned to Sophia and asked gently, "Do you need to go to the hospital?" Sophia shook her head, "No, I'm used to this kind of pain. But Miss Young's video..."
"It's fine," Lucas said, immediately dialing a number. "Come in and take Miss Winter home."
In a short while, Brian entered the room and helped Sophia up.
Sophia looked at Aveline with a pleading expression. "Miss Young, it's all my fault. I shouldn't have interfered between you two, but please don't do anything that could harm Lucas. It's been really hard for him to Brian shot a cold glance at Aveline, wondering what kind of trouble this woman was causing now.
Aveline saved the video and then said, "Then convince him to divorce me quickly. I'll stay far away, and you'll never see me again." Sophia was stunned.
So, it wasn't Aveline who didn't want the divorce?
It was Lucas?
Why didn't he want to divorce?
He had clearly promised her he would do it soon!
Had he changed his mind?
Sophia struggled to stay calm as Brian helped her out of the private
room.
Aveline looked at Russell and gave him a slight smile. "Mr. Skyler, you can leave first. I have something to discuss with him."
Russell responded, "I can stay and protect you."
Aveline chuckled. "He's not a wild beast. He won't eat me. Don't worry, I'll be fine."This text is property of Nô/velD/rama.Org.
Russell, feeling concerned, said, "If anything happens, call me. I'll be waiting in the lobby downstairs."
Aveline instinctively refused, "There's really no need."
Russell insisted, "It's settled then."
With that, he gave Lucas a glance before turning to leave.
As he did, a look of amusement flickered in his eyes. He hadn't realized before how entertaining it could be to stir up trouble. between other couples.
The door to the private room opened and closed again. Aveline exhaled deeply and turned to Lucas.
She extended her hand towards him. "Give me the money!"
Lucas stared at her intensely. "Show me the video you recorded."
Aveline quickly hid her phone behind her back. "If I give it to you, you'll just delete it. Lucas, don't think I don't know what you're planning."
"Oh?" Lucas looked at her. "Then tell me, what do you think I'm planning?"
Aveline hesitated. "I don't care what you're planning, I..."
Before she could finish, Lucas suddenly grabbed her wrist, pulling her towards him and pinning her down on his lap. Aveline was startled, "What are you doing?"
Lucas' slender, attractive hands gripped her waist, holding her firmly on his lap, making it impossible for her to move. "Are you really not curious?"
He stared at her deeply, his voice hoarse with a unique roughness that made her feel dizzy just listening to it.
Aveline suddenly calmed down. "I realize now that I came in at the wrong time. I should have waited until you two were in the heat of the moment. Wouldn't recording the video then be more convincing?
