Lucas noticed her gaze and suddenly looked over at her. "What are you looking at me like that?”

Aveline's eyelashes fluttered.

Sophia also saw her at that moment and suddenly said, "Aveline, you see it now, don't you? You should never have saved him! I lost a leg for him, and now he treats me like this. You took him in and even married him, but how does he treat you? He doesn't deserve your love at all

Aveline frowned. Was Sophia out of her mind? Saying such things in front of Lucas, wasn't she afraid he'd kill her on the spot?

As expected, Lucas' face darkened, his eyes filled with murderous intent as he glanced at Sophia's prosthetic leg. "One prosthetic leg is quite an eyesore. How about I replace your other leg with a fake one too?"

Sophia looked at him in disbelief. "You... Lucas, are you insane? How dare you treat me like this!"

A surge of anger flickered in Lucas's eyes, but he suppressed it with great effort. "If both your legs are useless, I'll make sure you're taken care of for the rest of your life."

"No, no!" Sophia backed away in terror, looking at Lucas as if he were a monster.

He was a monster!

Treating his savior without gratitude, being so heartless and ungrateful!

Lucas' tone suddenly turned cold. "Do you not know why I locked you up?"

Sophia's face turned even paler. "I... I don't know what you're talking about."

Lucas fad her with a cold stare. "Everything you said that night at the Tudor family mansion was

true, wasn't it?"

Sophia trembled, an overwhelming chill enveloping her. She knew that if she lied, Lucas might actually cripple her other leg. She had already sacrificed one leg to achieve her goal and couldn't afford to lose the other. How would she face him then?

Sophia swallowed hard and suddenly burst into tears, looking delicate and pitiful. "Lucas, it's my

all

my fault. I was just jealous of her. Why could she marry you and stay by your side, when two years ago, it was me who was talking about marriage with you?" my fault,

She sobbed, tears streaming down her face. "But now, I feel like an intruder, as if I'm the third party, when it shouldn't be this way!"

She covered her face and cried bitterly, appearing extremely sorrowful and distressed, Lucas only looked at her coldly.

Aveline stood not far away, watching him. So, he brought her here to make Sophia confess the: owner of this content.

"Enough crying. Apologize to her," Lucas said.

"uth?

Sophia cried for a while longer, not showing any signs of stopping, her body even swaying as if she

might collapse.

Lucas' impatient voice cut through her sobs.

Sophia's crying hälted as she looked at him. "Apologize for what?"

Lucas replied irritably, "You twisted the truth and made me misunderstand her. Don't you think you owe her an apology?"

Sophia bit her lip. When had things changed? He hadn't treated her this way before!

With a pale face, Sophia looked at Aveline. "Miss Young, I'm sorry. It's all my fault. I shouldn't have said those things. I was just reluctant to accept it..."

"That's enough," Lucas interrupted, losing patience with her continued rambling. He turned to Aveline, seeing no change in her expression, and frowned "Aveline, she intentionally made me misunderstand you," he said, walking up to her and speaking in a low voice.
