Divorced 177
Chapter 177
Sophia shook her head, refusing to come down. Her eyes were still filled with tears as she looked at Lucas. “I know, I’m no longer important. I have been living this life for you, and if you don’t need me anymore, there’s no point in me staying alive.”
She turned around, spreading her arms wide, like a butterfly about to take flight.
“No!” Lucas shouted in alarm.
Suddenly, a cry of pain echoed nearby.
“Miss Winter, she’s kneeling to you!” Brian’s voice rang out.
Everyone looked over to see that Brian had somehow forced Aveline to the ground, making her kneel in front of Sophia.
Aveline struggled. “Let go…”
But she was no match for Brian. He held her down firmly, keeping her from getting up.
Brian stared intently at Sophia. “Miss Winter, it’s her who did wrong, not Mr. Tudor. Don’t blame Mr. Tudor. She took advantage of his gratitude and refused to divorce him!”
Aveline’s eyes widened in shock
Sophia turned to Lucas. “Lucas, is this true?”
Lucas said nothing, his lips pressed into a thin line; his entire being radiating an icy chill as he stared at Brian.
Brian felt the lethal intent in Lucas‘ gaze, but he didn’tThis content © Nôv/elDr(a)m/a.Org.
release his grip on Aveline. “Apologize to Miss Winter. You did wrong, you should apologize!”
Aveline braced her hands against the ground, struggling to get up. “I didn’t do it! Why should I apologize?”
She looked desperately at Lucas. “Mrs. Tudor did meet with me, but our conversation wasn’t like that! I never asked her for help, you can check!”
She locked eyes with him. “Lucas, you can’t condemn me based on one recording. I won’t accept it!”
The cold wind howled, biting into her skin like the frost of deep winter.
Sophia still stood on the rooftop’s edge, her frail figure swaying precariously.
Lucas‘ deep, magnetic voice was devoid of warmth. “Aveline, sign the divorce papers. I never want to see you again!”
Aveline’s face turned several shades paler. She continued to stare at Lucas, desperately searching for any hint of another emotion.
But there was nothing. His eyes, like his face, were cold as ice. The chill reached her bones.
Not far away, Sophia observed the scene, a glint of light flashing in her eyes before she continued, “Lucas, goodbye…”
Seeing this, Brian panicked. He grabbed Aveline and tried to force her to kowtow to Sophia.
Aveline resisted with all her strength, but Brian was too

ground.
She refused to submit! She didn’t do it; why should she admit to it? She wouldn’t!
Aveline bit her lip so hard it bled, the taste of blood filling her mouth as she pressed herself against the ground.
“You!” Brian’s face turned livid with anger, but faced with Aveline’s defiance, he was at a loss.
What to do? If Aveline didn’t apologize, Miss Winter might die!
“Ah!” At that moment, a startled cry rang out.
Brian looked over and saw two bodyguards had managed to reach Sophia and, taking advantage of her distraction, pulled her down from the rooftop edge.
Lucas quickly rushed to Sophia’s side, gripping her wrist tightly. “Sophia, you must never do anything so foolish again.
Sophia threw herself into his arms. “Lucas, if you don’t love me, there’s no point in me living. Divorce her and marry me, okay?”
