212Chapter 654Chapter 654+25 BONUSAveline stared at Lucas, his stern features catching her off guard. “What do you mean by that?”A faint, teasing smile tugged at the corners of Lucas’ lips, and there was a hint of mischief in his eyes.”Because you sued me, I went bankrupt faster, lost the board’s trust, and now I’m no longer the president of DK Enterprises. I’m unemployed. So, as my legal wife, you’re responsible for me.” Aveline’s eyes widened in shock, unable to believe what she was hearing!What did he just say?The consequences he kept talking about meant that because he failed, she had to take responsibility for him?What kind of twisted logic was that?”No way! I won’t take care of you!” Aveline shook her head, still in disbelief.What a ridiculous joke.He had been the one refusing to divorce her, and now that he had failed, how was that her fault?If he had divorced her earlier, would the Tudor family have turned against him? Would he have ended up like this?Lucas casually sat down next to her and said, “Aveline, you can’t refuse me, and you can’t kick me out either. So, save your energy. After all, the court date is only a month away.” Selena, who had been listening in shock, finally snapped out of it and exclaimed, “Oh my God, this is the most shameless person I’ve ever met!”How could he even say these things?Was his mind functioning properly?Aveline frowned at Lucas, then reached for her phone to call the police.Lucas watched her movements calmly and said, “Do you think the police will get involved in matters between a husband and wife?”Even though the court date was a month away, they were still legally married.There had been no violent conflict.Even if there were, the police wouldn’t be able to change anything.Aveline’s finger hesitated over the dial button as she bit her lip, staring at Lucas with a mix of frustration and disbelief.She was overwhelmed by his shamelessness.Lucas smiled slightly. “I know you admire me, but you don’t have to stare at me like that.”Aveline was speechless.1/2+25 BONUSChapter 654Unbelievable.She turned to Selena and said, “Just close the door for now.”Selena pointed at Lucas. “Wait, you’re just letting him stay here?””What else can I do?” Aveline looked at her. “Do you have a better idea to get him out?”Selena fell silent as well.One phrase, “They’re married,” left them without a single option. Lucas could stay here as long as he wanted, and even if he got intimate with Aveline right in front of her, she couldn’t do anything about it. Selena wished she could fast-forward to the court date, just to witness the moment when the court declared them divorced.Nothing could be more thrilling.Lucas, dragging his suitcase, headed straight for the master bedroom.
