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

Chapter 863

At Meet Bar, inside the private room on the second floor, a soft, saccharine voice filled the air. "Lucas..."

The breath was warm and close, but suddenly, Lucas' clouded mind cleared, snapping back to reality. He shot up from the couch, his voice low and hoarse with restrained fury. "Who are you?" "I..." The woman, lounging on the sofa, was caught off guard by his sudden clarity.

But Lucas didn't wait for her response. He quickly located the light switch and flicked it on. The room flooded with light, and he saw her face-Juliet!

His expression turned icy, and in an instant, he lunged forward, grabbing her by the throat.

"What did you do to me?" he growled.

"I..." Juliet gasped, pain shooting through her neck as the pressure tightened. The sudden suffocation overwhelmed her, and she panicked, realizing just how dangerous he had become.

The man before her had a terrifyingly cold and ruthless look in his eyes, his grip unyielding. His shirt was disheveled, his gaze bloodshot, and the killing intent radiating from him made her tremble in fear. He was serious he might actually kill her.

Juliet's body shook violently as she gasped for air. "You... you can't hurt me! The Cooper family... they won't let you go!"

She barely managed to get the words out, desperately trying to pry Lucas' hand off her neck.
