Capturing the Millionaire’s Heart on Divorce Day

Chapter 18

The words felt like a mockery, a slap in the face to Lucas.

He sought solace in his parents.

But they, who had always adored him, remained silent, merely watching him.

Madison, on the other hand, was devoid of any emotion, as if a bystander observing a scandalous drama.

“Dad, Mom…” Lucas pleaded with his parents. “I’ve been with Sophia for so many years now, and I love her! Besides, didn’t you always want a grandchild? We have one now! Shouldn’t you be happy?” This content © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

While he was kneeled, Sophia stood upright.

Being a public figure with over five million fans and a fresh award- winner, how could she kneel and plead in front of these

traditionalists?

If Lucas wanted to marry her, he would have to make some sacrifices!

Hence, she waited without guilt.

Lucas’s mom noticed the fleeting impatience on Sophia’s face.

She ignored Lucas, and instead addressed Sophia: “Miss Xu, I remember very clearly. I had told you the decision of our family. I am not sure if it’s amnesia or the memory loss that comes with childbirth?”

Sophia was rarely humiliated this way.

She steadied herself, maintaining her smile, “But Lucas and I are truly in love. Even though you tried to separate us, we are back together. criticize me for having Besides, as a woman yourself, why would you

a child?”

Sophia’s voice was filled with dismay as she lowered her head, wiping away her tears.

Lucas was oblivious to the elders’ attitudes, quickly stood up and comforted Sophia: “Don’t cry. Too much crying isn’t good for the baby.

They seemed to be in their world.

Grandma Brooks tightened her grip on Madison’s hand, her face devoid of color.

Lucas’s mom smacked the armrest of the sofa, reprimanding, “Lucas! Have you no shame? Your wife is still sitting here!”

Lucas retorted, “We are getting a divorce.”

Divorce?

Processing a divorce?!

In a blink, six pairs of eyes turned to Madison.

Watching Sophia shed crocodile tears, Madison seemed to learn something.

So, she lowered her head, “A few days ago, Lucas came home for dinner and proposed a divorce at the dining table. He said that Miss Sophia was getting a divorce from her current husband, and

once both were divorced, they could be together. He asked me to help him. I

She sighed, her eyes filled with sorrow, “Grandma, I’m alone. I don’t have the courage to fight against injustice. Aside from aiding him, I have no other choice.”

At this, Grandma Brooks exploded.

Without hesitation, she swung her walking stick at Lucas, hitting Sophia as well.

Sophia cried out in pain.

While protecting Sophia, Lucas dodged her grandma’s walking stick.

When Grandma Brooks finally got tired, she pointed at the couple and said, “I am telling you, as long as I am alive, don’t even think about marrying this woman! She had a bad reputation back then, and your parents tried to stop you for your own sake. She can marry someone else at the drop of a hat. Don’t you wonder why? Now she’s cheating on her husband and messing with you. Can you guarantee that she won’t cheat on you for some other reason?”

Grandma Brooks’s words might have been harsh, but they hit Sophia where it hurt.

Sophia was furious, sobbing, “Grandma, why do you defame me at this age? I didn’t offend you. I am just in love with Lucas, why do you bully me?”

“Enough of your nonsense!” Grandma Brooks scoffed, “You can fool Lucas, but don’t try to play your mind games with me. You are too green!”

“Lucas, if you don’t leave this woman, you’ll have no share in the company’s control. Think it over. On Monday, your mother will take your place at the company.” Having said this, Grandma Brooks

looked at Lucas’s mom.

Lucas’s mom paused, then slowly nodded, her eyes filled with

disappointment for her son, “On Monday, I will go to the company.”

“Mom…”

Grandma Brooks stopped him and ordered the servants, “Throw them out and change the door lock passwords. If you don’t leave her, don’t
