Sophia Instinctively glanced at Aveline.

However, Yvonne acted as if she hadn't noticed her expression and said, "Let's go, time to eat."

Throughout the entire situation, Aveline remained silent.

She simply observed everything indifferently.

How could Yvonne, who managed to become the matriarch of the Tudor family, be someone without

a scheming mind and intelligence? What was the meaning behind that scene just now? Was she trying to sow discord between her and Lucas, or make her jealous of Sophia?Exclusive content © by Nô(v)el/Dr/ama.Org.

A trace of mockery flashed within Aveline.

At that moment, Lucas descended the stairs. Noticing the expression on her face, his eyes darkened a bit as he approached and asked, "What's wrong?"

Aveline glanced at him and said, "Nothing, it's time to eat."

As she spoke, she was about to leave, but he grabbed her wrist.

She looked at him in confusion.

Lucas furrowed his brows and said, "Aveline, you can tell me if anything happens. You can't handle everything alone."

Aveline's expression turned colder, and she looked directly at him. "All the things that have happened to me are because of you. I really can't handle it How about we get a divorce? Once we're no longer related, those troubles won't come to me anymore

Lucas immediately released her hand and walked straight to the dining room, his face extremely grim as he passed by her.

Aveline lowered her eyes slightly.

So, he had lied to her.

Saying he would consider the divorce issue once they came to the Tudor family mansion was just an

excuse!

Why was it so difficult to get a divorce?

In the dining room, a seat was reserved next to Barbara for Aveline.

As soon as she came over, Barbara pulled her to sit down and then looked at Sophia, saying, "Since you've returned to work for the Tudor family, you should get to work. This isn't a place for a servant like you to sit."

Barbara wore a cheerful smile, not intending to make things difficult for Sophia, just reminding her that as a "servant," she shouldn't dine with the family.

However, Sophia's face stiffened a bit.

Yvonne quickly said, "Mom, she's not a servant."

Frederick also added, "Mom, Sophia is a guest of the family."

Barbara looked at Lucas. "Isn't she a servant?"

Lucas didn't expect Barbara to be so convinced that Sophia was a servant and said helplessly, "She's

not."

Barbara looked as if she suddenly understood. "I thought she was, I remember she used to bring things when she came to see me. I thought you had instructed her to bring them." Yvonne looked at Sophia, holding her hand, and said, "Sophia, don't mind it. Mom is just confused."

Sophia forced a smile. "I'm fine."

"She lowered her eyes slightly, a hint of coldness appearing in them. This damn old lady!

Barbara smiled warmly. "Since you're a guest, let's eat. Young lady, I apologize. I didn't know you were a guest."

Sophia quickly responded, "Madam Barbara, don't say that. I'm still willing to stay by your side and take care of you."

Barbara then turned to Aveline. "Granddaughter-in-law, remember that she's a guest, not a servant, and has no relationship with Lucas. Don't be angry with Lucas because of this."
