Chapter 535
“Alright.” Aveline nodded and walked over to the elevator, waiting for Maria to return.
She glanced down at her phone, and just then, the elevator doors opened, followed by a surprised voice.
“Mrs. Tudor?”
Aveline looked up to see Desmond stepping out of the elevator, a hint of delight on his face. “Are you
here to see Mr. Tudor?”
Aveline’s expression remained indifferent as she shook her head. “No.”
Desmond was taken aback, rubbing his nose awkwardly. It was clear that Aveline’s attitude was cold, which made him smile uneasily before continuing, “Mr. Tudor was seriously injured. He’s on this floor. Mrs. Tudor, are you really not going to check on him?”
Aveline calmly looked at him and said, “Desmond, Lucas and I are divorced.”
“Ah?” Desmond was stunned for a moment before realizing what she meant.
He smiled apologetically, “Sorry, Miss Young.”
Aveline’s expression softened slightly at that.
However, Desmond didn’t leave and continued to stand beside her.
Aveline asked, “Is there something else?”
Desmond hesitated before saying, “Miss Young, both of you were once husband and wife. Now that Mr Tudor is injured, are you really not going to see him?”
Aveline’s brows furrowed slightly. “Are you trying to guilt–trip me?”
Hearing that, Desmond quickly waved his hands. “No, that’s not what I meant!”
Aveline replied, “Then you shouldn’t be standing here chatting with me.”
Desmond’s enthusiasm deflated like a balloon, and he turned to leave.
Aveline lowered her gaze slightly, her delicate and impeccably made–up face showing a calm expression.
Whether he was injured or not–what did it have to do with her?
It didn’t.
There was nothing left between them. Nothing at all.
The elevator doors opened and closed again. About twenty minutes later, Maria finally returned.
Aveline asked with concern, “Are you okay?”
Maria replied, “Just feeling a bit unwell, but it’s nothing serious. Let’s go.”
“Alright.” Aveline nodded.
Before stepping into the elevator, Maria glanced in a certain direction and let out an almost imperceptible sigh.

After returning from the hospital, they saw a few people gathered, chatting.
When Vivian spotted Aveline, she immediately wore a disdainful expression. “Oh, isn’t this the former Mrs. Tudor of DK Group?”
Aveline glanced at her indifferently. “Is there something you need?”
Vivian smirked. “Oh, nothing at all. I just wanted to see what you look like after being dumped by Lucas Tudor. Tsk tsk, who do you think you are? Lucas Tudor is in a completely different league. Marrying you was just a game to him. With a family background like his, he’s destined to marry someone of equal standing.”
She pulled out her phone and sneered. “Look at these heiresses from wealthy families–so elegant, so dignified, a perfect match for Lucas Tudor!”
Vivian’s words were completely unapologetic.
Sidney frowned upon hearing that. “And what does that have to do with you?”
Vivian let out a cold laugh. “Nothing at all. Can’t I enjoy watching the drama? But even if it doesn’t concern me, it sure concerns you. Now that Lucas has dumped her, you’ve got your chance. Why don’t you hurry over and start courting her?”
Vivian had a strong hostility towards Aveline, seizing every opportunity to mock and taunt her. If she didn’t get a few sarcastic remarks in, she wouldn’t feel satisfied.
Aveline gave her a calm look and said, “At least I was with Lucas Tudor, and even in divorce, I walked away with a considerable settlement. What about you?”
