If Lucas reconciled with Aveline, where would that leave Sophia? Sasha’s position in the Winter family would be secure again.

Lucas sat down right next to Aveline and asked in a low voice, “What are you looking at?”

Aveline responded coolly, “Why are you so interested in everything? Do you live by the ocean or something?”

Lucas chuckled softly. “Funny you say that I actually do have a house by the ocean. When you’ve got some time, I’ll take you there. If you like it, we could spend some time there together.”

Aveline ignored him. Who wanted to go to the ocean with him? Ridiculous.

Undeterred, Lucas continued, “You still haven’t answered me. Why were you staring at Aaron?”

Aveline glanced at him and said, “I think he’s better looking than you.”

Hearing this, Lucas narrowed his eyes dangerously, clearly not expecting such a response. He reached out and grasped her chin, turning her face toward him as he coldly asked, “When did you go blind?” Aveline pushed his hand away and turned her attention back to her fruit, uninterested in continuing the conversation.

Lucas then shifted his gaze to Aaron, who was currently playing a drinking game and losing, downing his drink as a consequence.

Scoffing, Lucas thought, “How could he be better looking?”

This woman’s eyesight must truly be failing; perhaps he should take her to see a doctor.

Sophia had been watching Lucas closely. When she saw him go straight to Aveline, her hand clenched into a fist.

Why was that wretched woman here?

With her status, she didn’t belong at this event!

After a moment’s thought, Sophia walked over to Rina and said, “Rina, how did some questionable people manage to get into your birthday party? We can’t have them lowering your status, and with all these expensive gifts around, what if something goes missing?”

Rina frowned at this. “Who slipped in?”

Sophia pointed toward Aveline and Maria.

Rina looked over, and when she saw Lucas sitting beside Aveline, her expression stiffened. “Why is Lucas sitting next to that woman? Could he be reconciling with her?”

Sophia remained silent.

But Rina continued, “If Lucas hadn’t had that car accident back then, you would be Mrs. Tudor by now. That woman wouldn’t have had any place in his life. What will you do if Lucas gets back together with her?

Sophia pretended to be understanding and said, “Rina, it’s fine. I get it if Lucas changes his mind. I can’t compare to Aveline anyway, especially with my health the way it is.”

Rina scoffed. “She’s nothing more than a cheap slut. Besides, you lost your leg saving Lucas. That woman can’t even compare to a single strand of your hair. Don’t worry, I won’t let her steal Lucas from you.”

With that, Rina waved over a server, gave her some instructions, and pointed toward Aveline.

The server nodded and headed straight toward Aveline.

Sophia, pretending to be concerned, said, “But Lucas is over there. If we kick her out directly, he might get angry.”

Rina smirked. “I have a plan.”

She called over another server and whispered some instructions to her as well.

Sophia watched the entire exchange, a slight smile playing on her lips.

The first server approached Lucas and respectfully said, “Mr. Tudor, Miss Johnson is looking for you. She has something she wants to discuss with you.” Nôvel(D)rama.Org's content.

Lucas raised an eyebrow but didn’t get up. “What does she need? Tell her to come here.”

The server was taken aback, not expecting such a response from Lucas.
