After the CEO Divorced Me, He Wants Me Back



Chapter 80

"Jerk, jerk, jerk!"

Aveline was so furious she could barely contain herself.

How could such a shameless and despicable man exist in the world?

She had never regretted it before, but now she truly did. She regretted ever taking him in!

She was so angry she nearly passed out!

Now, the divorce wasn't happening. What was she going to do?

She stormed upstairs, too upset to sleep.

As dawn slowly broke, Aveline felt a cold emptiness inside her.

She must have owed Lucas a debt in her past life, which was why she was treated like this in this one.

He felt indebted to Sophia and didn't want her to face danger, so he refused to divorce Aveline, making her a target for others.

But didn't he owe Aveline too?

She was the one who took him in!

Without her, he, with his amnesia and blank slate, might have died long ago.

Aveline laughed bitterly.

What a mess.

With dark circles under her eyes, Aveline went to the office and submitted her resignation letter.

Ignoring the manager's reaction, she went back to her desk and started packing her things.noveldrama

She couldn't stay here any longer.

She feared she might lose control and stab Lucas.

The resignation letter quickly landed on Lucas's desk

Lucas's handsome, sharp face was shrouded in a dark cloud as he held the resignation letter, staring at it intensely for a long while. Then, he threw it aside. "Not approved."

Desmond hesitated. "Mr. Tudor, this..."

"Also, freeze the check I signed previously," Lucas said in a deep voice.

Desmond was confused. "Which check?"

Lucas gave him a cold look.

Desmond paused, then realized it was the six-million dollar check given to Aveline.

That was so ruthless!

If he were to freeze the check just like that, Aveline would be furious.

Desmond turned to leave but stopped at the door to ask, "What if she comes to see you?"

"Let her come," Lucas replied coldly.

Desmond was at a loss for words.

Aveline quickly learned that her resignation was not approved, but she ignored it. She went home to pack, planning to

move.

The current apartment complex was no longer safe.

She needed to move to Maple Garden.

The security there was reliable, and at least what happened last night wouldn't repeat itself.

Selena soon arrived, holding a bouquet of flowers. "Congratulations on being single again, beautiful Ave!"

Aveline didn't take the flowers and said bitterly, "We didn't get divorced."

"What?" Selena was stunned. "Weren't you supposed to get divorced this morning?"

What went wrong? She moved closer and asked, "Did he have a change of heart and realize he can't live without you, so he doesn't want a divorce?"

Aveline gave a mocking laugh. "If only it were that simple."

Selena looked even more puzzled. "Then what happened?"

Aveline took a deep breath and repeated what Lucas had said.

"Unbelievable!" Selena swore, throwing the flowers on the ground and stomping on them in anger. "That rotten jerk, why doesn't he just die!"

She was so furious she couldn't control her words. "All the good men must be extinct because the world is full of trash like him."

Aveline said, "I have to get divorced. I need to find another way."

Be a shield for Sophia? What did she owe her?

Selena asked, "But if he doesn't agree, what will you do?"

Aveline's eyes showed confusion. "I don't know."

She had no power or influence, and against Lucas, she stood no chance.
