After the CEO Divorced Me, He Wants Me Back by Riverflow

Hearing this, Lucas closed his laptop, a slight smile playing at the corners of his lips as he looked at her. "Are you asking me for advice?"

Aveline nodded. "Yes, after all, your family is far more complicated than mine."

Lucas felt a slight sting at that remark, but he pushed it aside.

After a brief pause, he said, "If it were me, I'd first find out who set the fire. If it was Juliet, I'd present the evidence and the paternity test to the Cooper family without hesitation. If it was the Cooper family, I'd find a way to destroy them." Aveline was taken aback.

Her own thoughts had only gone as far as not acknowledging the Cooper family if they were behind the fire, pretending she knew nothing about it.

But Lucas's approach was far more ruthless.

Seeing her reaction, Lucas seemed to read her mind.

"Aveline, some people already know about you. You may want to ignore it all, but keeping quiet can be dangerous. They might try to eliminate you to protect themselves. After all, if you're gone, there's no one left to threaten them." Aveline nodded slowly. "You're right."
