Chapter 22
"Selena is impulsive. If she did something to hurt you, I hope you won't hold it against her. I promise she won't do it again."
Selena's eyes turned red instantly. "Ave, why are you. apologizing? This has nothing to do with you!"
Aveline ignored her and looked at Lucas. "Is this enough now?"
Her face was slightly pale, and there was a shattered light in her
eyes.
Wasn't it just forcing her to comply?
Why wasn't he satisfied when she had already complied with his wishes?
She was truly blind.
Why didn't she listen to Selena?
The taste of reaping what one sows was truly unpleasant.
Lucas looked deeply at her, feeling a wave of irritation. What did this matter have to do with her?
A cold, harsh aura enveloped him.
Sophia spoke up at this moment, "I'm fine, but Lucas is injured. I understand that Miss Quin is angry, but hurting someone is against the law. I hope Miss Quin won't do this again in the future." She looked at the two bodyguards. "Let go of Miss Quin."
The two bodyguards immediately released Selena.
Ave..."
Selena looked at Aveline.
Aveline said, "If there's nothing else, we'll leave now. We won't disturb you any longer."
Selena began to panic and quickly followed.
Lucas stared coldly at the two bodyguards. "Whose men are you?
The two bodyguards were stunned. "We are your men, Mr. Tudor.
"So, you do know." Lucas's tone grew even colder. "Get out of here, and don't let me see you again."
The two bodyguards were immediately terrified and wanted to say something, but under Lucas's cold gaze, they shivered and left with their heads down.
Sophia was slightly taken aback by the situation.
What did he mean by this?
Was he displeased that the bodyguards listened to her?
"Lucas, your injury has been treated. Be careful not to get it wet," she said softly, suppressing the strange feeling in her heart.
Lucas took out a cigarette, lit it, and half-closed his eyes. The smoke enveloped his face, making it hard to discern his expression.
Sophia looked at him. "Lucas, are you still worried about Miss Young's injury? She seems to have recovered."
"No," Lucas replied coldly.
Sophia's eyes flickered. Really?
If he wasn't worried, then why did he deal with Paul and his gang so harshly?
The protestors came to the construction site to cause a
disturbance before, and he never personally intervened. But when Aveline got hurt, he sent those people straight to prison.
They just wanted fair compensation. Wasn't this too severe?
"I'll have someone take you home."Property belongs to Nôvel(D)r/ama.Org.
Lucas stood up and left the private room.
Sophia watched his tall back and suddenly asked, "Do you like her? If you do, I won't say anything. After all, saving you was my one- sided decision. Even though I lost a leg, I've gotten used to it over the past two years."!
"Don't overthink it."
Lucas looked at her. "Go home and rest well. She and I will get divorced soon."
He opened the door, and Desmond was already waiting outside.
Lucas gave a brief instruction and then left quickly.
Desmond looked at Sophia. "Miss Winter, please."
Sophia lowered her eyes, hiding her emotions.
"Ave, wait for me."
Selena caught up with Aveline, seeing her pale face and feeling a surge of guilt. "I'm sorry, I didn't expect him to be so ruthless now."
Aveline took a deep breath and said, "Why are you apologizing? You did it for me. But promise me, don't go to him alone again. We can't afford to provoke him."
