Aveline paused for a moment before walking straight past without glancing to the side. Desmond took a deep breath and approached her. "Miss Young."

Aveline stopped. "What is it?"

Desmond pulled out a document, a professional smile on his face. "You should sign this. It will be better for both you and Mr. Tudor."

Aveline's expression darkened as she looked at the document in Desmond's hand. "What do you mean? Are you going to bring a new one every day as long as I refuse to sign? And target me in the company?" Desmond replied, "That's how it is, but I didn't instruct anyone to target you."

He couldn't let himself be falsely accused.

Aveline's tone was cold. "If it wasn't you, then it was Lucas. It makes no difference."

Desmond was taken aback. Should he explain that she misunderstood something? He decided against it. Better to inform Lucas first; he wouldn't want to act on his own and displease him.

Desmond handed the document to Aveline. "Miss Young, please sign it."

Aveline took the document.

Desmond tensed, fearing she might tear it up again. Instead, Aveline turned and walked away with the document.

"Hey, Miss Young?"

Desmond was stunned for a moment, then quickly took a few steps to catch up. "Where are you going?"

Aveline responded coldly, "Since it's about the divorce, I should discuss it with him in person."

Desmond hesitated, then asked, "But Mr. Tudor..."

Before he could finish, Aveline got into a taxi.

Desmond sighed and took out his phone, dialing Lucas'

number. "Mr. Tudor, Miss Young is on her way to discuss the divorce with you."

There was no response from Lucas; the call was simply disconnected.

At the hospital.

Aveline arrived outside Lucas' hospital room and was immediately stopped by the bodyguards.

"I'm here to discuss the divorce with him. Go tell him," Aveline said coldly, her eyes looking at the bodyguards.

The two bodyguards exchanged glances, and one of them went inside. After a moment, he returned and gestured for her to enter. Aveline clenched the divorce agreement in her hand and walked into the room.

A nurse passed by her, and as she entered, she saw Sophia sitting by Lucas' bedside, gently wiping the corner of his

Lucas didn't refuse, looking at Sophia with soft eyes. The atmosphere between them was intimate and affectionate. This scene hurt Aveline's eyes and broke her heart. She spoke, "Am I interrupting? Did I ruin your secre meeting?"

Sophia frowned. "Miss Young, why are you being so rude? Lucas and I are just friends."

Lucas looked at Aveline, his deep black eyes darkening. Apologize to Sophia."

Aveline retorted, "Should I curse her first? Otherwise, apologizing just like that feels uncomfortable."

"Aveline!" Lucas' voice immediately deepened.

Aveline walked over slowly. "You don't need to shout. I can hear you."

She slapped the divorce agreement onto him. "Lucas, I wanted a divorce so badly before, and you refused. Now you agree?"

This morning, when she saw Desmond delivering the divorce. agreement, she wanted to ask him. What was he thinking?

Sophia looked at Lucas with concern. "Are you okay?"

"I'm fine," Lucas replied calmly.

Sophia turned to Aveline. "Miss Young, Lucas didn't do anything to wrong you. You poisoned him, and he didn't pursue it. He's already been more than fair. Why are you treating him like this?"
