After the CEO Divorced Me, He Wants Me Back

"Surprised, aren't you?" Desmond remarked, noticing Brian's shocked expression, his own smile tinged with bitterness.

"Of course, we all thought Sophia saved Mr. Tudor, believing her to be a great hero. But later, we uncovered the truth-she would stop at nothing to achieve her goals." Desmond put the tablet away. "Brian, everything you've held onto for so long was based on a lie.”

"How could this be?" Brian muttered to himself, disbelief evident in his voice. "How could this happen?"

Lucas regarded him with cold indifference. "You've been with me for so long, yet you've learned nothing."

His voice broke, and he began to tremble uncontrollably.

Because deep down, he knew that Lucas wouldn't grant him another chance.

Lucas cast a final, indifferent glance at Brian before turning to Desmond. "Cut his tendons and dump him in the Delta."

"Yes, sir."

Desmond hesitated, feeling a twinge of pity, but it was an order from Lucas.

Without another word, Lucas turned and walked away.
