After the CEO Divorced Me, He Wants Me Back (Aveline and Lucas) novel Chapter 738

The judge and lawyers present were all at a loss.

Lucas climbed into his car in a cheerful mood. Desmond asked, “Mr. Tudor, where are we heading?”

At that moment, there was a knock on the door.

“Who is it?” Juliet whipped around, eyes full of suspicion.
