Aveline trembled, instinctively trying to push him away. But Lucas grabbed her wrist, pulled her hand down, and kissed her on the lips.

"Mmm!" Aveline struggled.

Lucas' kiss was intense and passionate, only stopping when her lips turned a bright red. Finally satisfied, he pulled away.

"Now that's better.

Aveline shoved him hard. "Lucas, don't you find this awkward?"

Lucas looked at her furious expression, his eyes dark and deep. Why are you in such a hurry? Has this month ended?"

Aveline was momentarily stunned, staring at him. "Does that mean you'll divorce me next month?"

Lucas raised an eyebrow, said nothing, and walked away.

"Jerk!" Aveline cursed under her breath as she watched him leave.

She knew he was toying with her again! Why was it so difficult to get a divorce?

At that moment, Selena came out and noticed her upset expression. "What happened?"

Aveline replied, "Did you settle everything?"

Selena nodded. "Yes, he agreed, but he didn't seem happy about it." Aveline smirked. "Of course, he's not happy. His perfect plan fell apart." Selena scoffed. "Men are all the same. None of them are good."

The two of them left the hospital, heading to the roadside to hail a cab.

Just then, a woman stormed up to them, raising her hand to slap Aveline. Aveline quickly dodged and frowned at her. "Are you crazy?"

Sharon glared at her with hatred. "You vile woman! How dare.you come to the hospital? Are you here to pester Lucas? Don't you know Lucas belongs to Sophia? You're clinging to Lucas, and Sophia is dying be Selena stepped in front of Aveline and sneered. "Why should we care about her problems? She should be dealing with Lucas directly. Tell him to finalize

the divorce quickly, and then you can do whatever you want. We wouldn't even mind helping out with the aftermath because we're so generous."

"You..." Sharon's chest heaved with rage.

She glared at Aveline with a sinister look. "Don't think I don't know your game. You're just after the Tudor family's wealth and power, pretending to be all high and mighty. You've got Lucas so bewitched he does "I've seen this trick too many times. Let me tell you, the Tudor family will never accept you. In their hearts, only Sophia is their daughter-in-law!"

Since she couldn't physically harm Aveline, she'd make her suffer emotionally.

Ha! Did she think not divorcing meant everything would be fine?

Aveline looked at her coolly and suddenly asked, "Which room is Miss Winter in?"

Sharon eyed her suspiciously. "What are you planning?"

Aveline replied, "She got depression because of Lucas. As his wife, I should pay her a visit. I should buy some supplements first, though.

It would be rude to go empty-handed, wouldn't it?"

"You, you vile woman, you..." Sharon started to curse but was abruptly cut off by a slap.Exclusive content © by Nô(v)el/Dr/ama.Org.

Aveline coldly stared at her. "If Miss Winter wants to be with Lucas so badly, she should convince him to divorce me, not send you to insult me. Who do you think you are to talk to me like this?" After being insulted over the phone and now in person, Aveline felt she needed to stand up for herself.
