Divorced

Upon hearing this, Lucas expression turned icy.

She thought he would use others to coerce Zane into compliance?

In her mind, was he really that kind of person?

Lucas‘ tone became even colder. “Aveline, you always say I don’t trust you. What about you?”

“What?” Aveline was stunned, but Lucas didn’t give her an answer and hung up the phone.

Aveline stared at the disconnected call, blinking unconsciously.

What did he mean by that?

Was he saying she didn’t trust him?

Aveline pressed her lips together, refusing to believe she was wrong.

When had he ever done anything to earn her trust?

She smirked sarcastically and decided not to dwell on it any longer.

As the sky gradually darkened, the lights in the CEO’s office were bright as day, but Lucas‘ expression

was extremely grim.

His phone rang, and although he initially didn’t want to answer, a thought crossed his mind, making his eyes flicker.

However, when he saw the caller ID was Frederick, his expression darkened again.

“Hello, Dad.”

Frederick’s tone was cold. “Lucas, what do you mean by this? Why haven’t you dealt with that thief yet? Having someone whip him every day isn’t enough.”

Lucas replied, “Since you entrusted him to me, let me handle it my way.

Frederick sneered. “I think you’re just hesitating because of Aveline, not wanting to harm that thief.

right?”

Lucas‘ tone grew colder. “If you don’t trust my handling, you can take him back.”

Frederick’s voice became even icier. “Lucas, I’m your father. Is this how you talk to me?”

Lucas replied indifferently, “So what?”

“You…!”

Frederick was furious. ‘Lucas, do you still want to join the Tudor Group?”

Lucas scoffed, “I’m your only son. If I don’t join, who will you give it to?”

“Heh!” Frederick sneered. “Once your stepmom gets pregnant, there will be no place for you in the Tudor family, Lucas. You’d better not defy me again, or I’ll throw you out of the family!”

With that, he hung up the phone.

Lucas tossed his phone aside, a look of mockery spreading across his handsome, stern face.

This was his father.

Always using his position to suppress him.

Did he ever act like a father?

Lucas closed his eyes briefly, his expression quickly returning to cold indifference.

Aaron walked in, seeing Lucas‘ icy demeanor, and asked, “Want to grab a drink?”

Lucas glanced at him. “Got a lot of free time, huh?”

Aaron sat across from him. “My underlings handle all my matters. Do you expect me to investigate personally?” NôvelDrama.Org copyrighted © content.

Lucas gave him a cool look and stood up. “Let’s go.”

Aaron followed suit, asking, “What exactly did Sophia tell you?”

Lucas‘ voice was cold. “She claimed to have information about Leo.”

“Really?” Aaron’s eyes widened. “She actually has something?”

Lucas‘ aura grew even colder. “She said if I marry her, she’ll tell me.”

Aaron sneered. “First, she tried to leverage gratitude to marry you, and when that failed, she targeted what you care about most. But I’m curious, how did she get information about Leo? Who gave it to her?”

The two men stepped into the elevator.

Lucas looked at him. “I’m curious too. Why don’t you ask her?”

Aaron shook his head. “No way. She’s nothing but trouble.
