Desmond, seeing Lucas‘ calm demeanor, decided not to push further. It was clear that Lucas had anticipated this move and likely had a plan in place. With that, Desmond turned and left the office.

Lucas paused in his work, his handsome, sharp features remaining as cool and indifferent as ever. But his deep, dark eyes now held a hint of something more profound.

Selena tossed the invitation straight into the trash can, her expression filled with disgust. “What bad luck. Why can’t Lucas ever do things properly? He hasn’t even divorced yet, and he’s already looking for his next target. It’s just so off–putting.”

Aveline’s expression remained neutral. “It’s not the first time he’s been this low.”

Selena sighed as she pulled a chair up to the bedside, her expression troubled. “I just don’t get it–why doesn’t he just agree to the divorce? There’s nothing left between you two, so what’s the point of dragging this out?”

Aveline’s mind drifted for a moment.

She thought of the things Lucas had said.

He said he would change.

He asked her to give him another chance.

He didn’t want to let go of this already shattered relationship.

But Selena was right–what was the point of this endless entanglement?

Aveline spoke softly, “Help me lie down. I want to sleep for a bit.”

“Okay.”

Selena nodded, helping her settle back into the bed.

Aveline closed her eyes, the earlier physical exertion having drained her. She quickly fell into a deep sleep.

When she woke again, she overheard hushed voices in the room.

“Russ, are you serious? The Tudor Group is actually targeting DK Group? Is this really a family feud?” Even with her voice lowered, Selena couldn’t hide the excitement in her tone.

Russell nodded. “That’s the information I’ve received. As for why this is happening, it’s still unclear.”

“That’s fantastic!” Selena exclaimed, slapping her thigh with satisfaction. “I hope they drive Lucas into bankruptcy. If he’s too busy trying to save his company he won’t have the time or energy to harass Ave anymore.

Suddenly, an idea seemed to strike her, and her eyes lit up as she looked at Russell. “Russ, isn’t the Skyler family a competitor of DK Group? This is the perfect opportunity for you to step in and crush him, so he can never recover!”

Russell chuckled softly, a bit amused. “It’s not as simple as that. Other companies are watching and waiting. What if this is all a setup by the Tudor family? Anyone who gets involved could be walking right into a trap, and the outcome could be unpredictable.”

Selena considered his words and nodded. “You’re right, The Tudors aren’t exactly known for playing fair.”

“Ahem… What are you two talking about?” Aveline’s voice cut in as she opened her eyes and looked over at them.

Russell walked over to her. “Did we wake you?”

Aveline shook her head. “No, I just woke up on my own. What were you discussing?”

Russell replied, “There’s been some trouble within the Tudor family today. The Tudor Group has started a full–scale attack on DK Group.”

Aveline paused for a moment, taking in the news. “Oh.”

Russell watched her carefully, noting that she didn’t seem anxious or worried. A flicker of something unreadable passed through his eyes.

“Lucas likely isn’t a match for his father,” Russell continued, picking up an apple and beginning to peel it. The Tudor Group has much deeper roots than DK Group. If this internal conflict escalates, Lucas is likely to lose.”

As he peeled the apple, he kept a close eye on Aveline’s expression, curious to see her reaction.
