"Lose?"
Lucas sneered as if he had just heard an amusing joke. "There's nothing wrong between us. Why would the court grant a divorce?"
Russell countered, "Does emotional neglect during the marriage not count as a problem?"
Lucas raised an eyebrow, looking at Aveline. "Have I ever emotionally neglected you?"
Aveline pressed her lips together, remaining silent.
She had always harbored some concerns.
On the surface, there were no obvious disputes between her and Lucas.
Would the court really grant them a divorce?
Citing a lack of affection seemed like a weak argument.
If there had been a clear fault on Lucas’ part, perhaps the chances would be higher. But Lucas would never allow such a situation to occur.
Lucas turned his gaze back to Russell, his tone carrying a hint of malice. "Your lawyer is indeed skilled, but everyone has a weakness. Do you really believe he'll be fully committed to your case?"
Russell frowned. "What are you insinuating?"
But Lucas didn't bother to explain further. His eyes returned to Aveline’s face.
"Aveline, if you insist on suing, I can't guarantee what might happen. You need to be mentally prepared for any outcome."
His deep, magnetic voice carried a tone that felt almost like a threat, though it sounded as casual as if he were commenting on the weather.
Aveline furrowed her brows. "I will proceed with the lawsuit, Lucas. Our marriage is over."
Lucas stared at her for a long moment before nodding slightly. "Alright, then I'll play along."
