"Come in," Lucas said flatly, his voice devoid of emotion.

The door opened, and Judy walked in. Seeing that his complexion had improved, she stood by the bed, her gaze filled with a mix of emotions.

"I never imagined you could be so calculating," Judy finally spoke, offering her assessment.

Lucas looked at her coolly. "We both got what we needed. Isn't it a bit late to be discussing this now?"

During their collaboration with DK Group, the Thompson family had reaped numerous benefits, yet now she was here to accuse him of being manipulative.

Judy clenched the bag in her hand. "Lucas, I genuinely wanted to get along with you, so why did you use me?"

Lucas remained indifferent. "Is there anything else you need?"

Judy, however, continued, "You used me to provoke Aveline, but what was the result? She doesn't care about you at all. So, what if you've gained so much? Aveline still wants to divorce you!" She aimed for his most vulnerable spot with her words, knowing they would sting.

She truly liked Lucas, but he had used her and then intended to discard her. How could that be fair?

"Are you done?" Lucas' eyes remained cold as he looked at her.

Judy bit her lip, feeling deeply defeated by his indifferent expression.

He didn't care about anything she said because, in his eyes, she meant nothing.
