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

Unfortunately, Aveline couldn't turn back time. If she could go back to the past, she would have done so already!

Aveline turned her head towards the window, her lips pressing into a tight line. Lucas, too, looked out the opposite window, the tension between them thickening.

When they arrived at Celestial Heights, Lucas had barely stepped out of the car when a petite figure dashed towards him.

Rebecca's eyes sparkled as she looked at Lucas, but before she could reach him, Desmond intercepted her.

In response, Rebecca swung her hand and slapped Desmond across the face.

"Who do you think you are? How dare you stop me? Mark my words, if I were to complain to Lucas about you, he'd fire you on the spot!"

Rebecca's sudden outburst caught everyone off guard, and Aveline's brows furrowed as she glanced at Desmond. Although he was Lucas' lackey, Desmond had never made things difficult for her. They weren't close, but she couldn't help feeling indignant on his behalf.

Lucas' expression darkened instantly.

Desmond calmly turned his head and gave Rebecca a polite smile. "I don't think so."

His reply made Rebecca, who had been so arrogant a moment ago, turn red with anger. She glared at Desmond before turning to Lucas with a look of aggrieved innocence, her big eyes pleading. "Lucas, you saw that, didn't you? Your subordinate bullied me!"

Lucas' sharp, handsome face grew even colder, and his tone was icily indifferent. "I'm not blind."

Rebecca's expression froge, and she quickly said, "Laicas, I was wrong before. I was just joking with Miss Young, I didn't mean for you to get hurt. I've been so worried I couldn't loop, and I begged my father to let me come see you. Are you badly injurich

She tried to move closer to lacas, but Desmond, whom she had slapped, wasn't about to step aside.te kept her a short distance away from Lucas. Rebecca watched with envy and hatred as Aveline supported Lucas,

This wretched woman was incredibly lucky!

How could she still be alive? What a shamel

Lucas' deep, cold eyes fixed on Rebecca as he spoke to Desmond, "Get in touch with Mr. Thompson. Put our previous dealings on hold. We'll resume discussions once he fulfills his commitments." "Yes, sir!" Desmond responded immediately.

As Lucas headed towards the elevator, Desmond positioned himself in front of Rebecca, preventing her from approaching.

Rebecca's eyes widened slightly upon hearing Lucas' words. "Luteas, what do you mean by that? My father already apologized to you. Why are you still holding a grudge? She's fine, and you only got a minor injury. My father already put down that beast which was my most beloved pet. Even after all this, you still won't forgive me?"

As she spoke, tears welled up, making her look pitiful as if she had been severely wronged.

Lucas ignored her tears, stepping into the elevator. As the doors slowly closed, he glanced at Desmond.

Desmond, anticipating his thoughts, quickly smiled and said, "No need to worry, Mr. Tudor. That slap was nothing. I didn't take it to heart."

Lucas replied, "Your year-end bonus will be doubled."

Desmond's eyes lit up with surprise and joy.

Taking a slap and getting a doubled bonus? It was totally worth it!

"Thank you, Mr. Tudor!"

Desmond was so elated he almost marched on the spot.

Back in the suite, Lucas gave a brief order. "From now on, don't let her come up if she visits."
