Divorced

Barbara replied coldly, “Haven’t you already divorced her? Where she is and what she’s doing should have nothing to do with you.”

Lucas leaned forward slightly, his hands resting on the foot of the bed, eyes filled with icy coldness as he looked at her.

“Grandma, you used the same tactics to force me into a divorce, and I obliged. But if you try it again, my patience will run out. After all, when Leo died in front of me, I didn’t shed a single tear. How long do you think I’d care about your life?”

“You!” Barbara’s face grew increasingly grim, her hand trembling as she pointed at him.” Lucas, you unfilial grandson!”

Lucas smirked. “I’ve always been. Did you forget?”

His presence exuded a chilling aura, his eyes showing a mix of ruthlessness and madness, a determination that would stop at nothing to achieve his goals.

Barbara suddenly recalled that Lucas had always been this way as a child–a little wolf cub. Anyone who got close to him ended up hurt. He wasn’t a likable child. It was Leo who always stayed by his side, never minding the injuries he received.

Somewhere along the way, Lucas changed, gradually becoming kinder. He had been kind for so long that everyone forgot he was actually a madman who didn’t value his own life.

Lucas asked again, “Grandma, where is Aveline? Content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

Barbara, looking defeated, said, “I’ll give you a phone number. Ask him where Aveline has

been taken. I don’t know.”

Lucas pressed a button on his Bluetooth earpiece. “Did you get that?”

Maria’s voice came through, “Tracking it now.”

Lucas‘ frosty gaze remained fixed on the elderly woman in the bed. “I’ve always respected you, but that respect can fade.”

With that, he turned and left. Barbara’s face paled as she stared blankly at his retreating figure, unable to react for a long time.

Lucas…

His personality was exactly like his mother’s. After that incident, his mother stubbornly took her own life. But Lucas? He wouldn’t do that. He would only harm others.

Selena was growing impatient. Just as she was about to get out of the car, Lucas returned.

He was cloaked in a chilling aura, his handsome face even more frosty. He ordered the driver to head straight to the abandoned dock in the southern part of the city.

Hearing this location, Selena immediately sent a message to Russell, praying he could find Aveline first.

The sound of waves penetrated the container, reaching Aveline’s ears. She slowly regained consciousness and realized her hands and feet were bound, and there was tape over her

mouth.

The surroundings were pitch black, with only the faint sound of waves crashing against the shore.

Was she by the sea?

Aveline’s head was still spinning, and she struggled to catch her breath. She kicked the container with all her might, creating a loud banging noise, but there was no other response. Her face grew pale.

What was Barbara planning? Did she intend for her to drown at sea?

As if to confirm her fears, water began to slowly seep through the container’s gaps. It was just a trickle, but Aveline noticed it. Her eyes widened in terror, and she kicked the container even harder.
