After the CEO Divorced Me, He Wants Me Back (Aveline and Lucas) novel Chapter 812

Aveline pressed her lips together slightly, unwilling to admit it but knowing she had to—her heart was wavering because of Lucas.

Images of the recent events flashed through her mind.

She lowered her gaze, a complex look in her eyes.

How could she not waver?

He had changed significantly.

He had become much gentler, more respectful of her thoughts and opinions.

He was slowly becoming the Lu she had once loved.

And she had no defenses against Lu.

She closed her eyes briefly, trying to pull herself out of those emotions, without giving any further explanation.

“Let’s just get back to work,” she said, refocusing her attention on her computer.

...

At Tudor Group.

In the boardroom, the atmosphere was heavy.

Lucas sat at the head of the table, dressed in a silver-gray suit, his tie undone and the top two buttons of his shirt left open. One hand rested on the table as he twirled a pen between fingers. His sharp, handsome face remained expressionless.

The shareholders had all arrived.

On one side, a few of them were silent, their faces revealing little emotion.

On the other side, several shareholders looked clearly displeased.

“I’m not denying your abilities, but you’re still young and lack the steadiness needed in such situations. In my view, it would be better to have Madam Yvonne temporarily take your place. She’s your father’s legal wife and holds shares in the Group. It would only be a temporary arrangement, and no one would have any objections.”

He turned to the others. “What do you think?”

Someone from the opposite side immediately spoke up, “But Madam Yvonne has never handled any of the Group’s affairs. To have her suddenly step in as acting CEO and Chairman wouldn’t sit well with many.”

Mark chuckled. “It’s just a title. We old-timers will still be here to manage things. But since the young man has made a mess, we old-timers have no choice but to come forward and clean it up.”

His words were blunt, nearly crossing the line into openly insulting Lucas.

“Ridiculous!”

Another shareholder slammed his hand on the table, anger evident in his voice. “It’s obvious that someone deliberately leaked that video to create a scandal and damage the Tudor Group.

“It’s just a few seconds of footage! Instead of finding out the truth, you’re here blaming Mr. Tudor and even suggesting he be removed from his position. What’s your real motive?”
