Too Late She Already Married Mr. Right (Sophia) novel Chapter 184

Chapter 184

Lucas picked up the key point in her words, and his expression went cold–almost scary,

“So you mean, you’ve always treated me as someone else’s stand–in?” he demanded.

Sophia shrugged. “To be honest, you really are just a replacement for the guy who saved my life.”

If it hadn’t been for that debt Lowed him, there’s no way I would’ve said yes to marrying him so quickly,

ou out of your mind? Are you trying to get yourself killed?” Lucas spat.

‘She actually made me a substitute for someone else? Sophia’s got guts–I’ll give her that!‘ Lo

Sophia stepped back. “Lucas, I’ve warned you more than once–let’s keep things civil and walk away while we still can.”

Lucas pulled at his tie, his chest heaving with barely contained anger–he just couldn’t shake off the sting of being treated like a stand–in.

But he wasn’t as aggressive as before.

He locked his gaze on Sophia, mind drifting to his father, Billy, who’d gotten sick with rage, and the advice Billy had given him when he’d left.

If he wanted to save Yadel Group, he had to get Sophia back and somehow force her to come up with a plan.

For the sake of the company, Lucas swallowed his frustration, his entire demeanor softening, a hint of genuine emotion flickering on his face.

His eyes darkened with pain. “Is this all because of Emily? Are you just saying this to hurt me?”

“You know I’m telling the truth,” Sophia said, watching Lucas fool himself instead of facing reality.

Lucas stepped in, looming over Sophia and bending down just enough to meet her eyes, his presence impossible to ignore.

He curved his lips into a devilish smirk. “Doesn’t matter–you loved me for three whole years, didn’t you? Believe me, I’ll have you falling head over heels for me again.”

hia clenched her fists, itching to punch him right in the face.

“Lucas, you’re not refusing to divorce me because you’re in love–you just want what I can do for you, isn’t that right?” she shot back.

Lucas straightened up, his eyes drifting to the churning river. “Does it really matter whether I love you or not? As long as you’re valuable enough, that’s all it takes to be my wife in my book.”

Sophia gave a mocking laugh.

Chapter 184

So it’s not that you actually care about staying married it’s just that the Westwood family needs me around right?

“How about we just cut the crap and name your price? What’ll it take for you to finally set me free? Sophia shot back.

Now that she truly saw Lucas and the Westwood family for what they were, staying in this marriage wasn’t even an option for her anymore.

“Get Yadel Group back to its peak from a month ago,” Lucas said, his tone icy and relentless.

So

oored–she hadn’t expected him to come out swinging with such a sky–high demand.

Seriously, even if you brought in the most badass PR miracle workers on the planet, there’s no way Yadel Group could bounce back to its prime from a month ago.

‘For a beauty brand, the worst nightmare is letting customers lose faith. Once you chill their hearts and shatter that trust, good luck ever getting it back,’ she wondered.

Sophia spread her hands. “Sorry, there’s really nothing I can do.”

“You want a divorce, Sophia? Deal. If you can actually pull this off, I’ll give you the divorce you want,” Lucas said, his voice cold and unyielding.

Sophia let out a frosty laugh. “You know what? Maybe staying married isn’t so bad after all.

“I’ll just keep burning through your family’s money and hook up with some hot young studs–let everyone know you’re the poor guy whose wife is cheating on him.”

“Don’t you dare!” Lucas spat.

Lucas’s forehead veins popped, his rage barely held in check.

“Just wait and see!” Lucas snarled.

With that, Sophia turned and headed for the camp site, but before she could take more than two steps, Lucas reached out and pulled her back.

“Come with me to pick some wildflowers,” he insisted.

a thought with all that fuss, he’d already forgotten about the wildflowers.

nope–he actually remembered.

“Are you seriously crazy? Let me go–I have zero interest in joining your madness,” Sophia snapped.

Even if there weren’t any wild animals out at night, the weather forecast had warned of a heavy storm and possible mudslides later.

‘Why should I risk my neck going into the mountains with him when nothing’s wrong with me?‘ Sophia thought, exasperated.

Lucas didn’t say a word and just hauled Sophia along, not even bothering to figure out which way he was. headed

Using his phone for light, he followed whatever trail he could spot, and before they knew it, they were wandering right into the heart of the mountains.
