After the CEO Divorced Me, He Wants Me Back (Aveline and Lucas) novel Chapter 571

Chapter 571

“Oh?” Aveline raised an eyebrow and gave Rina a half–smile before turning to Lucas. “Do I really have no right to tell you what to do?”

“You do. Absolutely,” Lucas replied with a warm smile, hot sparing even a glance at Rina.

Rina’s expression grew even darker. “Lucas…”

Rina’s anger surged, her resentment toward Aveline reaching its peak. This detestable woman dared to cling to Lucas–how could she even think she was worthy of being by his side? She vowed to teach Aveline a lesson as soon as she got the chance.
