Chapter 281

Lucas said, "When you shot down the idea back then, I figured that was it. I didn’t expect you to come to me two years later asking me to marry you.”Sophia met Lucas's gaze, her eyes full of earnest emotion. "Lucas, I was stubborn before. I didn't want to feel trapped by marriage so young. But things are different now. I want a life with you — a real future together, a place we can call our own."Lucas replied, "But Sophia, I'm already married now."Sophia said, "But you told me you would divorce her."Lucas responded, "I wasn't thinking clearly before. I subconsciously felt that since you saved me, I should take responsibility by marrying you. But I've realized that taking responsibility doesn't necessarily mean I have to marry you. I can do it in other ways. Sophia, let's just let this go."His tone was as calm as ever, reminiscent of their time together in the past. But Sophia could read between the lines.He was tolerating her for now, but his patience had limits. She knew him too

Sophia said weakly, "Put me down, I'm fine."Desmond insisted, "Let me carry you. We'll get to the hospital quicker that way. Miss Winter, we can't risk making your leg worse."Sophia pressed her lips together and remained silent.Lucas glanced at Desmond, a faint trace of approval in his eyes.At the hospital, the doctor examined Sophia's leg and then said, "There's nothing wrong."Sophia's face was pale. "Then why does it hurt so much?"The doctor replied, "It could be a nerve issue. Would you like to have it checked in the neurology department?"Lucas said, "Let's check everything.""Alright."The doctor immediately made the arrangements.Sophia glanced at Lucas. "I apologize for causing you concern again. My leg always hurts, but I still haven't gotten used to it."She stared at her prosthetic leg, a hint of desolation on her face. She was reminding Lucas that she lost her leg because of him. No matter what, he would always owe her.Lucas asked, "Considering how often it hurts, hav

“Aveline, we need to talk,” Lucas said, walking up to her, his eyes fixed on her.“What about?” Aveline asked.Without answering, Lucas took her hand and led her upstairs. Aveline frowned slightly but didn’t pull away.Once back in the presidential suite, Lucas pulled her to sit on the sofa and said, “About us.”Aveline’s lashes fluttered as she responded, “There’s nothing to talk about between us. Miss Winter came to see you, so let’s finalize the divorce.”Lucas’ face darkened, but he remained patient. “I’ve made it clear to Sophia that I won’t marry her. You’re right, there are many ways to repay a debt, and marriage isn’t the only one. So, I won’t marry her.”He tightened his grip on her hand, his eyes locked onto hers. “Now, are we still getting divorced?”Aveline’s heart trembled. Everything that had happened recently felt like a dream. She had been uncertain but hearing his words and feeling the emotions welling up inside her, she suddenly felt a surge of impulse.But she held

"What's wrong?" Lucas averted his gaze and said blandly, "Nothing."Aveline found his behavior puzzling. After eating only half a bowl of oatmeal, she put down her spoon. "I'm full."Lucas pushed a bowl of soup towards her. "Drink this, or I won't let you sleep."Aveline frowned, showing her reluctance. However, Lucas' words carried enough authority that she picked up the spoon and started drinking. Throughout the meal, Lucas' intense gaze never left her, making her uncomfortable. She sighed in exasperation and said, "I'm still sick. Can you stop staring at me like that?"Lucas scoffed lightly. "Isn't it you who’s trying to seduce me?"Aveline’s eyes widened instantly. "Me... seduce you? What nonsense are you talking about?"How could she possibly be seducing him?Lucas’ gaze drifted to her chest with a hint of amusement. Aveline looked down and saw her nipples protruding through her thin nightgown. Her face flushed with embarrassment. She quickly covered her chest and got up to lea

Aveline was taken aback and looked at him suspiciously. "Why aren't you answering the door? What do you need me for?"Lucas, however, grabbed her hand and said, "I'm scared to open it alone. Come with me."Aveline was confused.Before she could react, he held her hand firmly and walked towards the door. What nonsense was he talking about?She started to struggle. "I don't want to go. I need to rest."Lucas said in a low voice, "It's already late at night. Who would be knocking at this hour? Come with me and see."His words only made her hair stand on end!"Then I'm scared too! Let go of me!"Aveline was scared out of her wits.But Lucas had already reached the door with her, opened it, and someone fell inside.Lucas quickly pulled Aveline into his arms, skillfully dodging the person who had fallen.The person landed on the floor."Lucas..."A delicate voice, tinged with a hint of grievance, rang out.Lucas and Aveline looked down and saw Sophia clumsily getting up. Her prosthetic leg

She gripped the prosthetic leg tightly, her face a mask of grief barely held together. Though she fought to put on a brave front, her trembling gave her away, painting a picture of fragile vulnerability.Aveline said, "Let me take you back. Which floor do you live on?""No need."Sophia refused outrightly and then looked at Lucas. "Goodbye, Lucas."With that, she hopped towards the elevator, her figure thin and fragile, looking both wretched and delicate.Suddenly, Lucas walked over and supported her arm. "Let me help you."Sophia's eyes turned red. "Lucas, it's okay. I can manage on my own..."Lucas didn't say a word, just continued to support her towards the elevator.Sophia stared at him, tears falling, her gaze so intense it seemed like it could melt him.Aveline stood at the doorway, watching the scene intently.What could she say?Sophia lost her leg because of Lucas, so he should be responsible for her.She understood that.But she couldn't help feeling uncomfortable.Especially

How could he be so heartless? Faced with such a massive debt of gratitude, he didn't even flinch! How could someone be so cold? Someone like him was truly terrifying!Sophia took out her phone and made a call, explaining the situation. The person on the other end was silent."What should I do now? I can't play the guilt card to keep him anymore. I'm completely out of ideas,” Sophia said, utterly lost.The person on the other end replied, "Then start targeting Aveline. He treats her differently.Sophia tightened her grip on the phone. "Really? Does he really care about that woman?"The person chuckled. "Do you really not know the answer?"Sophia was genuinely unsure. What if he was just pretending with Aveline too? That would make him even more terrifying!The person on the other end said, "You won’t know unless you try. Don't forget how he died."Sophia instantly calmed down, hatred flickering in her eyes. "I won't forget. I will definitely avenge him!"Just as Aveline was about to fa

After freshening up, Aveline came out and saw Lucas sitting on the sofa, with Desmond reporting something to him. During their conversation, Lucas would occasionally cough.Aveline quietly ate her breakfast and, after finishing, said, "I want to leave Arthur Town."Lucas immediately looked up at her. "After everything that's happened, you still want to leave?"Aveline replied, "Staying here is the most dangerous option. Leaving would be safer."Lucas stared at her intensely. "What if I don't allow you to go?"Aveline shrugged. "Then I won't go."Lucas was taken aback by her obedience.Aveline, sitting diagonally across from him, said, "But why keep me here? I don’t want to be held responsible for upsetting you further.”Lucas glared at her coldly, suddenly coughing violently. The pale hue of his face was tinged with red, adding an almost otherworldly charm to his appearance.Desmond said, "Mr. Tudor, please don't get upset." He then turned to Aveline. "Miss Young, Mr. Tudor is concern

Damn it!Aveline's chest heaved with anger.Desmond hesitated before speaking up, "Actually, this matter...""Shut up!" Both Lucas and Aveline exclaimed simultaneously. The synchronized shouts silenced Desmond instantly, and he dared not say another word.He was terrified, thinking how hard his life was as Lucas’ assistant.Aveline's temper flared. With a cold laugh, she turned and walked away. But as she opened the door, she was met by several bodyguards standing there. Seeing her, they immediately moved to block her path.Aveline acted as if she didn't see them and walked straight ahead.The bodyguards' expressions changed, knowing that if they didn't move, they'd end up touching Aveline inappropriately. If that happened, Lucas would surely have their hands cut off!Instinctively, they stepped back while still trying to block her.Realizing their concern, Aveline pressed forward even more determinedly.In this strange standoff, they all moved towards the elevator.The lead bodyguard

Three days later.Lucas had wrapped up affairs in Arthur Town; now, it was time to dispatch others to finalize the assessment and prepare for signing the investment deal. His presence was no longer required here.They departed for Cloudflare City.The bodyguard placed Aveline's suitcase in the car. Lucas took her hand. "What are you thinking about?"Aveline glanced at their clasped hands but said nothing. Lucas looked at her for a moment before helping her into the car.Just as they left Arthur Town, his phone rang. Seeing the caller ID, his expression grew colder. It was a call from Rebecca."Hello?" he answered, his tone noticeably icy."Lucas, I'm leaving the country. Do you want to see me off?" Rebecca's voice came through.All this time, Rebecca had not apologized to Aveline. Through his business dealings, Lucas had taken direct measures to sanction the Johnson family, leaving them in dire straits.
