Divorced

Chapter 536

Vivian’s expression darkened. “What do you mean by that?”

Aveline let out a light scoff. “You can’t figure it out? I’m mocking you. All you can do is sit in an office and throw out sarcastic remarks. If you were braver, you’d be an internet troll. Is that all you’re capable of?”

Vivian abruptly stood up, her face twisted with anger. “Aveline, do you think I’m afraid of you? You have no one backing you up now!”

“Oh? So what?” Aveline’s expression remained calm. “Are you planning to kill me?”

Vivian gritted her teeth, feeling incredibly frustrated. This woman used to stay quiet, but lately, whenever Vivian mocked her, Aveline would retaliate!

And she couldn’t even match her!

Aveline looked away. “Instead of wasting time being jealous, why don’t you focus on improving your performance? Jealousy won’t make you better; it’ll only make you uglier.”

“You-!”

Vivian tried to rush at her, but two people quickly held her back.

The atmosphere in the office grew tense as if a fight could break out at any moment.

Yet Aveline was completely unaffected, calmly returning to her work.

Vivian, held down in her chair, shot a venomous glance at Aveline.

Just wait–one day, she’d destroy her!

At the hospital.

Desmond stood in the hospital room, not daring to lift his head to look at the man sitting on the bed.

Lucas had a laptop in front of him, his fingers tapping away on the keyboard. After finishing a document,

he sent it off.

He closed the laptop and finally looked up at Desmond. “She really said that?”

Cold sweat formed on Desmond’s forehead. “Y–yes.”

Lucas said nothing, reaching up to pinch the bridge of his nose.

That sounded exactly like something she would say.

Even though she was just a few steps away, she refused to come and see him.

An intense irritation bubbled up within Lucas. He pulled out his phone and dialed Aaron’s number.

“Hello?”

A groggy voice answered, clearly just waking up.

Lucas‘ voice was cold, “How did the thing I asked you to handle last night go?”

+15

Aaron yawned and replied, “They weren’t together. You don’t need to worry.”

Lucas asked, “Then why didn’t you tell me last night?”

Aaron replied, “Because something unexpected came up that I had to handle.”

Lucas pressed, “And it took you all night to handle it?”

“Uh?” Aaron was momentarily stunned, not expecting Lucas to guess so accurately. He then said, “If there had been an issue, I would have told you. Besides, you’re only calling me now, so you must have already figured it out.”

Lucas let out a light scoff and hung up the phone.

Aaron clicked his tongue. What was wrong with him?

He got up, the bed still in disarray, memories of the previous night flashing through his mind.

In the morning, Selena had kicked him out of bed.

He hadn’t expected that after a whole night of activity, she still had the energy to kick someone.

He had really underestimated her and swore he wouldn’t hold back the next time. Còntens bel0ngs to Nô(v)elDr/a/ma.Org

He pulled out his phone and dialed Selena’s number.

After three rings, the call was abruptly cut off.

Aaron narrowed his eyes. She dared to hang up on him?

Ha!

Selena sat on the sofa, staring at the number on her phone, feeling a headache coming on.

She couldn’t quite understand how things had escalated to this point.

How had she and Aaron ended up here?

And what about “Snow“?

Did Aaron really not care anymore?
