Sophia walked toward the office carrying the lunchbox.

Desmond quickly said, "Miss Sophia, there are guests inside. Maybe you should wait a bit?"

Sophia looked at him and saw a flicker of hesitation in his eyes. A gleam flashed in her own eyes as she said, "It's already lunchtime. What kind of guest would be here at this hour?"

With that, she headed straight to the office.

Desmond watched her back but did not stop her.

Sophia pushed open the office door and immediately saw a woman standing close to Lucas, leaning over to speak to him intimately.

Seeing this scene, anger surged in Sophia's eyes. "Lucas, who is she?"

Lucas paused and glanced at Sophia. "Did you knock?"

Sophia tightened her grip on the lunchbox and took a few steps forward." Lucas, don't forget what Grandma said."

Lucas turned to the woman. "Have a seat."

Judy glanced at Sophia, clearly sensing the hostility directed at her.

She raised an eyebrow slightly. She knew about Sophia. Lucas had once almost divorced Aveline for her sake. So, this is the woman? Not impressive at all! In Judy's eyes, Sophia wasn't as good as Aveline, though she didn't think much of Aveline either.

Lucas' expression remained indifferent. "Grandma said many things. Which one are you referring to?"

Sophia was furious but didn't dare to show her temper in front of Lucas. She realized she had been impulsive by barging in and needed to salvage her image now.

"I'm sorry, Lucas. I didn't mean anything by it. I was just worried about Grandma's health. I'm here to bring you lunch. It's all your favorite dishes."

She walked over and placed the lunchbox on his desk.

Lucas suddenly looked at Judy. "Hungry?"

Judy smiled slightly. "A little."

Lucas said, "Then let's eat together."

Judy was momentarily stunned. "That might not be appropriate, considering this lady's kind gesture."

Lucas directly picked up the utensils and handed them to Judy. "Isn't food meant to be eaten? What's inappropriate about it?"

Judy took the utensils. "Then I humbly accept."

Sophia stood to the side, feeling like a mere servant, completely ignored by Lucas. She had thought that with Lucas divorcing Aveline, she would finally have a chance. But she hadn't expected someone like Judy to appear out of

nowhere!

Who was she? Why was she so close to Lucas?

Sophia was full of questions but had no standing to ask. After all, Lucas hadn't given her any official status.

"My hand hurts a little," Judy suddenly said.

"Still hurting after all this time?" Lucas naturally took her wrist and examined it carefully.

This scene deeply stung Sophia. She forced a smile and said, "Lucas, I have something to do, so I'll leave now."

With that, she quickly left, fearing that if she stayed any longer, she would lose control and tear Judy's face apart. That wretch! Seducing her man-Sophia vowed to make Judy pay dearly.

That evening.

Aveline clocked out of work. As she exited the building, she saw a familiar car from a distance and walked over. The car window rolled down, revealing Lucas' handsome, stern face. His eyes

fixed on hér.

Aveline said, "We're divorced now. I won't be going back to the Tudor residence tonight.": owner of this content.
