Divorced

Chapter 655

“Sigh… He’s completely shattered my worldview. It’s like he has no sense of decency or shame,” Selena muttered.

Aveline stared blankly ahead, not responding.

She never expected that Lucas‘ backup plan would be this….

It seemed he didn’t care at all about being kicked out of DK Enterprises. He still had the energy to come here and make her life difficult.

What was he thinking?.

Noticing Aveline’s lack of response, Selena waved a hand in front of her face. “Ave?”

“Hmm?” Aveline snapped back to reality. “It looks like, for the foreseeable future, we’ll be seeing him every day.”

Selena pulled a face. “But I don’t want to see him.”

“Then you should move out.”

Lucas‘ deep voice cut in, causing both women to look up. He was leaning casually against the wall, arms crossed, his eyes carrying a hint of coldness as he stared at Selena.

Selena sneered. “You think I’ll move out just because you said so? Who do you think you are?”

Lucas pointed at Aveline. “She’s the boss, and I’m also the co–owner of the house.”

Both Selena and Aveline were speechless.

Seeing their silence, Lucas seemed pleased.

He walked over to Aveline and said, “How about you drop the lawsuit? And release a statement saying the divorce filing was just a joke? That would restore my reputation, and I might even get back to work at DK Enterprises. If that happens, I won’t have to stay here and annoy you.”

His deep, magnetic voice carried a slow, coaxing tone as if trying to persuade Aveline.

Aveline’s expression remained cold. “As if.”

Lucas burst into laughter.

Aveline rolled her eyes and turned to Selena. “Let’s go out for a walk.”

“Sure,” Selena replied, grabbing her bag and helping Aveline out of the room.

As soon as they left, the smile vanished from Lucas‘ face.

He pulled out his phone and turned it on, only to be bombarded with countless messages.

Some were from the Tudor family, others were filled with insults.

Somehow, his phone number had leaked, and now his inbox was flooded with messages. The hateful insults poured in as easily as taking a sip of water.

Lucas glanced at the messages with cold indifference before finally pulling out the SIM card and tossing

He got up and stepped onto the balcony, gazing at the clear blue sky, though his eyes remained as dark and unreadable as a still, ancient well.

Just then, a WhatsApp call came in. Seeing it was Aaron, he answered with a brief, “Speak.”

Aaron’s voice came through the line, “How does it feel to be ostracized by everyone?”

Lucas replied, “Not bad. Want to try it? I can help you.”

Aaron laughed, unbothered. “No need, my life is carefree enough.”

“Right, especially with your fiancée making a fool out of you. You must be loving that,” Lucas commented dryly.

Aaron choked on his words for a moment before responding, “I don’t care what she does, as long as it doesn’t blow up.”

“How generous of you,” Lucas said in a calm tone, though it reeked of sarcasm.

He frowned and added, “When are you coming to take Selena away? She’s starting to get on my nerves.”

Aaron replied, “Are you asking me for a favor?”

Lucas smirked. “Yeah, consider it your old man asking for help.‘

“Fuck off!”

Aaron cursed under his breath, realizing too late that Lucas had gotten the upper hand in the exchange.

“I think it’s good that she’s with Aveline. It keeps Aveline’s spirits up.”
