Chapter 414
Aveline’s expression froze, and she quietly looked at him, saying calmly, “Would you cry if I said no?”
“Heh…”
Lucas laughed, the fog in his eyes clearing a bit.
After laughing for a moment, he suddenly leaned in, gripping her nape and kissing. her forcefully.
His breath was cool yet burning, dominantly claiming her air.
Aveline was caught off guard, struggling slightly.
But he didn’t force her, letting her go just as quickly.
His nose touched hers, their breaths heavy and entwined.
“Aveline, I won’t divorce you,” he said softly.
Aveline’s eyelashes fluttered. “Aren’t you afraid your father will take back all your rights?”
Lucas chuckled, this time with a touch of mockery. “If he could, he wouldn’t just talk,
about it.”
Aveline understood, but a chill settled in her heart.
It seemed Lucas’s power extended beyond DK Group, and he didn’t even regard the Tudor family’s company highly.
So, her hopes of divorcing him seemed even more distant.
Seeing her deep in thought, Lucas moved back slightly, gripping her chin and looking deeply into her eyes. “What are you thinking about?”
Aveline replied, “I was thinking about what Sophia was thinking.”
Lucas said, “Why care about her?”
Aveline lightly bit her lip and asked, “Lucas, why has your attitude towards Sophia suddenly changed?”
Lucas stared at her, about to respond, when his phone rang.

He checked the caller ID; it was Yvonne.
“Hello?” Lucas answered, his tone cold.
Yvonne’s gentle voice came through, “Lucas, come back and see Sophia. She wants to see you.”
Lucas‘ tone grew even icier. “She wants to see me, and I’m just supposed to oblige? Who does she think she is?”
Yvonne was taken aback, not expecting such hostility from him. She sighed. “Lucas, Sophia said she wants to give you Leo’s belongings. She insists she isn’t lying this time.”
Lucas was silent for a moment. When he spoke again, his tone was even icier. “Fine, but if she’s lying, I’ll make her pay.”
Aveline stood beside him, hearing every word of the conversation clearly. Seeing the coldness in his expression, she felt a chill in her heart.
When he decided to be ruthless, no one could match him. Even Sophia, who had once saved him and lost a leg, was not spared his wrath.
Aveline found it increasingly hard to understand him.
Lucas swiped his fingers across the phone screen to end the call, then turned to her. “What if I told you that Sophia losing her leg two all a staged act by
ars ago w her?”
Aveline’s eyes widened in shock. “A play?”
Lucas smirked faintly, a touch of mockery in his handsome features. “Hard to believe, right? Even I couldn’t believe someone would go to such lengths to achieve their goals.”
Aveline asked, “What was her goal?”
Lucas shrugged. “Who knows?”
He opened the car door and stepped out, “Want to come watch the show?”
Aveline shook her head, “No, your family members are like wild beasts. It’s terrifying.
Lucas let out another amused laugh, then said, “Fine, you go home first. come find
I’ll you after I’m done here.”

Without giving her a chance to respond, he shut the car door and walked towards the hospital.
The car started up.
Aveline kept her eyes on his tall, slender back, her emotions swirling in a complicated
mix.
