Aveline returned to the studio.
Seeing her unusual expression, Sidney asked, “Aveline, are you feeling unwell?”
Aveline shook her head. “No, maybe I just didn’t get enough rest.”
Sidney looked worried. “Do you have any tasks left? Give them to me, and I’ll help you.”
Aveline replied, “No, thank you.”NôvelDrama.Org: text © owner.
Sidney wanted to say more, but Maria walked over. “Sidney, come with me for a moment.”
Sidney nodded. “Okay.”
Lately, Maria had been taking Sidney out frequently. He had proven his capability and social skills, securing many resources through these
engagements. He had even started completing design drafts independently.
Aveline watched them leave, feeling a slight sense of doubt.
Wasn’t there a bit too much socializing lately? It wasn’t like this before.
Suddenly, Vivian commented, “Tsk, tsk. She used to take you out all the time and valued you so much. Now it seems Sidney’s skills are even more
outstanding than yours.”
Aveline asked, “So, what are you proud of?”
Vivian was taken aback, not expecting Aveline to retort.
Aveline looked at her calmly. “You’ve been working here for so long. Have you completed a single design?”
“You!”
Vivian’s expression turned ugly. “That’s because you stole all the orders!”
Aveline responded, “I earned those orders with my ability. You lack the skills, and you blame me for taking them?”
“You!”

Vivian was stunned, even more angry and shocked. Aveline had never responded to her snide remarks before. What changed today?
Seeing Vivian at a loss for words, Aveline said calmly, “Instead of wasting time mocking others, you should improve your own skills. With the time you spend on sarcasm, you could have already contacted several clients.”
Vivian’s expression turned even uglier with anger, while others in the office pretended to be busy, occasionally glancing over to watch the drama.
Vivian stormed out of the office, slamming the door loudly behind her.
Aveline maintained a calm expression.
Previously, she didn’t want to engage in an argument. She thought that a few words would be enough to dismiss it, but since she hadn’t responded, Vivian had become increasingly aggressive!
She really needed to be taught a lesson!
Aveline no longer dared to stay late at work. Even if she had unfinished tasks, she would take them home.
Upon entering the Tudor residence, the living room was quiet. Lucas hadn’t returned.
The butler approached and asked, “Madam, what would you like for dinner?” Aveline thought for a moment and replied, “Something spicy, anything will do.”
The butler nodded. “Alright, please wait a moment.”
With that, he went to the kitchen to give instructions.
Aveline went upstairs, directly into the study to continue her unfinished work.
However, she found it difficult to focus. Her mind kept drifting to Lucas‘ handsome and stern face, and those overly cold and dark eyes.
He was truly disappointed.
Their marriage might really be at its end.

The next day.
At the lawyer’s office.
Aveline arrived early, but Lucas didn’t show up until nine in the morning.
He was dressed in a perfectly pressed suit without a single wrinkle, exuding an aura of cool elegance and nobility. His handsome face was expressionless.
“You’re early.”
Seeing her, he made a sarcastic remark.
Aveline didn’t react and turned to walk inside.
The staff member saw her and immediately said, “Please follow me upstairs. Our general counsel will handle your divorce.”
