Chapter 642 Seeing Selena's fierce defiance, Lucas' expression darkened even further, a coldness radiating from him as he spoke. "Leave." He uttered the word with icy detachment, his entire presence exuding an intimidating chill.

Selena's body trembled slightly, her confidence wavering. She was just an ordinary person-how could she stand up to someone like Lucas? If he wanted to crush her, it would be as easy as swatting a fly.

But she couldn't back down.

She had to protect Aveline.

Taking a deep breath, Selena steadied herself. "Lucas, let's set aside all the pain you've caused Ave for now and focus on the divorce. Why did you deceive her? Do you even love her?" Lucas' expression grew even darker, his eyes glinting with cold malice as he looked at her. "What happens between Ave andis none of your business." "It is my business!" Selena shot back, her eyes blazing with anger. "Because of you, she's unhappy, she's not the vibrant, cheerful person she used to be. What have you done to her? Do you even remember how she was when you first met her? You've lost the Aveline who was full of life and joy!" "Selena..." Aveline tugged at Selena's sleeve, signaling her to stop confronting Lucas.

She knew he wouldn't listen to any of this. He didn't even understand what love was.

Selena glanced back at Aveline and smiled reassuringly. "I've been wanting to say this for a long time. Now that it's out, I feel a lot better." Aveline felt a warmth spread through her heart. She didn't have family, but Selena was more than just a friend- she was like family. No matter what happened, Selena was always by her side. Lucas' gaze remained cold as he stared at Selena, the tension in the room thickening.

Selena's voice softened slightly as she continued, "Lucas, let Ave go. I'm really afraid that one day something will happen to her. I don't care if you regret it or not-I just want Ave to be safe." "Are you done?" Lucas' deep voice was void of emotion.

Selena's brow furrowed. "You-" Lucas' icy gaze bore into her. "If you're finished, can you leave now?" "You...!" Selena stared at him in shock.

So, after all that she said, he didn't listen to a single word, did he? This man-Selena felt like she could just stab him and be done with it! A flash of resignation and bitterness passed through Aveline's eyes as she turned to Selena. "You should go for now. I'll talk to him." Selena huffed, "What's there to talk about? Delaying the lawsuit isn't an option. We should file it right away!" Aveline nodded. "I know. I'll handle it." 0 Selena gave her a long, conflicted look before finally relenting. "Alright, but I'll be right outside. If anythin?! happens, you just shout, and I'll cin and protect you." Aveline nodded again. "I will."

With that, Selena reluctantly left room, turning back three times m before she reached the door. Jast before closing it, she shot Lucas one last fierce glare. Lucas's gaze remained fixed on Aveline.

"I'm not going to delay this," Aveline said firmly: "Selena is right-you've O never considered my feelings, so why should consider yours? Whatever happens to you has nothing to do with me."

Her words felt like a blade slicing through Lucas' chest, the painsb intensent left him stunned. It was a kind of pain he hadn't felt before. No, that wasn't true-he had felt it once before. When he had watched Leo die right in front of him, he had felt this exact sagony.

What was this feeling? He recognized it now-it was that unbearable kind of pain.

Lucas took a step closer, his hand landing on her shoulder.
