After the CEO Divorced Me, He Wants Me Back (Aveline and Lucas) novel Chapter 582

"No! Don't do this to me, Lucas! I hate you, I hate you!" Sophia's screams echoed from the room, filled with utter despair.

Aveline looked at Lucas, noticing his calm demeanor. His sharp, narrow eyes remained fixed on her, unreadable. She suddenly smiled faintly. "She saved your life once, even lost a leg because of it. And now, seeing her like this—doesn’t it stir anything in you?"

Lucas’ handsome, sharp features twisted into a mocking smile. "Her downfall is her own doing."

He gazed intently at Aveline's unnervingly calm face and added, "I've never had any real feelings for her, Aveline. From the beginning, you’re the only one I’ve ever truly cared about."

Aveline glanced away, walking toward the exit. "Then why did you want to marry her two years ago?"

Lucas pulled out a cigarette, lighting it as a cloud of smoke surrounded him. His narrow eyes narrowed further as he replied, "I never intended to marry her two years ago."

Aveline paused, briefly considering his words. If he never planned to marry Sophia, why did she become his fiancée? But she wasn’t particularly interested, so she didn’t press further.

As Lucas followed her out, he observed her indifferent expression and asked, "Is this enough for you?"

Aveline looked at him. "Do you have any better ideas for punishment?"

Lucas met her gaze. "Didn’t you say you wanted to take everything she desired? This is just the appetizer."

Aveline raised an eyebrow.

Lucas continued, "Leave the rest to me. The outcome will be something you'll find satisfying."

"Alright, I’ll be waiting," Aveline replied, stepping into the elevator and leaving.

Lucas didn’t follow her. Instead, he turned to the bodyguard and ordered, "Make sure the photos and videos are taken and send them directly to the Winter family. Let them know that if they don’t kick Sophia out of the family, those images will be everywhere."
