The smile on Gernard's face faded further as he looked at Lucas with a noticeable shift in his demeanor.

"Mr. Tudor, isn't it irresponsible to be so indecisive? You let rumors of your divorce spread, yet you didn't go through with it. Now, there's talk of an alliance through marriage between the Tudor and Thompson families, and somehow, my family has been dragged into this mess as well. What exactly are you playing at?"

Lucas let out a cold laugh. "You believed the divorce rumors just because I said so? What's next, if I claimed to be a god, would you believe that too?"

Gernard's expression darkened.

Aveline, puzzled, asked, "What do you mean, your family got dragged into this?"

Lucas responded, "Since I'm supposedly single, both the Thompsons and the Coopers are trying to marry me off. Isn't it hilarious? It's as if every other man in the world has disappeared." Aveline was speechless.
