Chapter 35:

Ryan shifted the conversation toward Lucas, asking, “How are things between you and Belinda, Lucas? When is she finalizing the divorce with you?”

Lucas responded calmly, “My father’s condition is that the divorce can proceed, but not until after his birthday later this year. The divorce is on hold until then.”

Hearing this, Verena said, “So, you’re saying you’ll have to wait an entire month more?”

“That’s correct,” Lucas answered.

Ryan expressed his frustration with a muttered curse and said, “That ugly woman must have influenced your father. I knew she wouldn’t let go of you so easily.”

His annoyance escalating, he continued, “Damn, that bitch really has some nerve!”

Lucas’ expression darkened at Ryan’s harsh words. He fixed a stern gaze on Ryan and said in a cold tone, “Don’t let me hear you talking like that again.”
