Chapter 121
Selena immediately spoke up, “Hey, do you know about first come, first served? I saw that necklace first!”
Sophia blinked, a smile spreading across her face as she looked at Aveline. “Perhaps you should ask Miss Young if she understands. first come, first served.”
“You!”
Selena was furious, pointing at Sophia’s nose. “Why are you putting on a show? Do you think Aveline cares about this? You should be talking to the one who refuses to divorce, not taking it out on Aveline!”
Sophia’s smile only grew. “Miss Quin, don’t you know? The reason Lucas hasn’t divorced Miss Young is to protect me. As long as Miss Young carries the title of Mrs. Tudor, I won’t be in danger.”
“Shameless!”
Selena was about to explode and turned to the silent, stern–faced. man. “Is what she said true? Is that really what you’re thinking?”
Lucas, dressed in a black suit and exuding an air of cold elegance, looked at Selena with his emotionless eyes. “It’s just a necklace. Resorting to shouting when you can’t get what you want where are your manners?”
Selena scoffed. “My manners are reserved for those who deserve them. For people like you? Ha!”
She laughed scornfully at them.
Sophia’s eyes flickered as she took the necklace off and handed it to Selena. “Miss Quin, there’s no need to act this way. It’s just at necklace, I don’t need it.”
Selena pushed her hand away. “Get lost! I don’t want anything you’ve touched!”
In the next moment, Sophia fell backward, her face filled with fear!
Lucas caught her, his expression turning icy. “Are you looking for trouble?”
An invisible pressure spread through the air, a chilling coldness seeping into everyone’s bones, making them tense.
Selena was about to say something more, but Aveline pulled her back, stepping in front of her. “Was Selena wrong?”
Lucas‘ cold gaze fell on Aveline. Her clear eyes held a hint of frost as she looked at him, her expression calm and unyielding.
The two of them stood there, neither backing down.
Sophia’s eyes flickered again, and she suddenly grabbed Lucas‘ hand. “Lucas, my leg hurts…”
Lucas‘ face turned even colder as he glared at Selena. “Apologize.”
Aveline interrupted, “Why should she apologize? Selena didn’t push her. Miss Winter is the one acting so fragile. If she’s that delicate, maybe she should stay home. A gust of wind might blow her away!”
“Aveline!” Lucas‘ voice was deep and stern as he looked at her.
Aveline lifted her chin defiantly. “I’m listening, what is it?”
The tension in the air was palpable, ready to explode at any moment.
She still remembered the grudge from last night! That jerk had his way with her and then left, and now he was out shopping with another
an. Did he really think she was that magnanimous?
She was determined to make the situation uncomfortable for them.

Sophia’s eyes suddenly filled with tears as she looked at Aveline. ” Miss Young, what did I do wrong? Why are you saying such things about me? My leg ended up like this because I saved Lucas.”
Aveline’s gaze was icy. “So, what does that have to do with me?”
Sophia’s eyes glistened with tears. “Miss Young, you’re being unreasonable.”
Aveline let out a derisive laugh. “So, snatching something from someone else as soon as you walk in is considered reasonable?”
Sophia found herself at a loss for words against Aveline!
This woman was too infuriating!
At this moment, Aveline seemed to have spikes all over her body. Anyone who spoke to her would get pricked, making her quite formidable.
