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

"Yes, Mrs. Tudor, didn't you know about this? None of you were aware?" Judy pressed, hearing the confusion in Yvonne's voice.

Yvonne responded, "We truly didn't know, Judy. Don't worry, let me look into this."

Judy's tone was sharp. "Mrs. Tudor, how could you start discussing an engagement with our family without getting your facts straight? This is incredibly irresponsible! Do you want me to be labeled as Lucas' mistress?"

Yvonne quickly tried to soothe her. "Judy, we had no such intention. Lucas did show us the divorce certificate-who could have imagined it was fake? Rest assured, we'll get to the bottom of this and provide you with a satisfactory explanation."

Judy's tone eased a bit. "It better be, because if my father hears about this, he could very well call off the deal with the Tudor Group."

Yvonne replied, "Judy, we'll definitely sort this out. Let me find out what's going on."

"Alright."

Judy hung up, a cold expression settling on her face.

Lucas had played her, and the Tudor family had nearly dragged her into being the mistress. She wasn't going to let this slide!

This mess needed to be addressed, and the Tudor family would have to give her a proper explanation!

At the Tudor family's main estate, in the study.

Frederick's face darkened as he listened to Yvonne's recounting of the situation.

"Bang!"Còntens bel0ngs to Nô(v)elDr/a/ma.Org

He slammed the file he was holding onto the desk, his expression growing even more severe. "That ungrateful son of mine! How dare he pull something like this? How dare he lie to us!"

Yvonne's brows furrowed as well. "Exactly. Divorce is no small matter-how could he treat it so recklessly? Thankfully, we hadn't advanced too far in our negotiations with the Thompson family. Imagine the disgrace if we found out later that he hadn't actually divorced."

Frederick pulled out his phone and dialed Lucas' number. It rang for a long time before he finally answered.

"What is it?" Lucas's voice was cool and distant.

Frederick struggled to contain his anger. "You've got the nerve to ask what it's about? I want to know what's going on with you and Aveline. Why aren't you two divorced?"

Lucas' tone remained indifferent. "We didn't divorce, and that's that. There's no reason."

Frederick shot up from his seat. "Lucas, are you deliberately ignoring me? Do you really think that just because you control DK Group, you're untouchable? Let me make this clear: you either divorce Aveline immediately, or I'll use my authority as the chairman of the Tudor Group to wage war against you!"

"Oh?" Lucas's voice grew even more nonchalant. "Then I'm ready for the fight."

With that, he hung up the phone.

"That ungrateful son of mine!" Frederick's face twisted in fury as he began making calls, issuing orders to launch an assault on DK Group.

Yvonne watched from the side, her worry evident. "Frederick, isn't this a bit too much?"

Frederick scoffed, "The only regret I have is not doing this sooner! If I had taken action the first time he defied me, things wouldn't have come to this." Seeing his determination, Yvonne lowered her gaze, choosing not to say anything further.

Meanwhile, at DK Group.

Desmond hurried into the CEO's office, his expression serious. "Mr. Tudor, we just received word that the Tudor Group has started to move against us. They're

undercutting our prices to steal our partners, and someone has begun buying up shares from our

shareholders."

Lucas' expression remained calm. "I'm aware."

Desmond frowned. "Mr. Tudor, shouldn't we be doing something about this?"

There wasn't the slightest trace of panic on Lucas' face. "No rush."
