Chapter 1046
Xaviera threatened Lucas because it was obvious that she wanted money. After all, all the money she had from the
divorce and the money she had after mortgaging the house had been invested in her lover’s business. However,
the business was not going well, and she owed much debt.
Now, she wanted to take over Lucas’ stall to pay off the debt.
Lucas’ face turned red as he suppressed his emotions. Xaviera’s shameless threat put him in a dilemma for a
moment.
Amelia took a step forward and looked at Xaviera coldly. “Lucas and I are just friends. If you want to start rumors,
then be prepared to bear the consequences. Whoever dares to start a rumor about me, I’ll sue them right to the
end. I’ll make you lose all your fortune. In the end, I’ll want you to publish a statement in the newspapers to make
clarifications and apologize to me!”
At that moment, Amelia exuded a very stern and cold aura. It was as if she would do anything to protect the most
important person in her life.
Her aura immediately pressurized Xaviera, making it difficult for her to breathe.
Amelia approached Xaviera step by step. “If you don’t believe me, try me!”

apart, woman!”
Amelia dodged as Lucas rushed over to grab Xaviera.
However, someone’s hand acted faster. The person slapped Xaviera directly until she stumbled. Then, she
staggered and retreated a few steps before she was able to steady herself.
After that, Xaviera covered her face and stared blankly at the handsome and cold man in front of her. He was
dressed in an elegant suit and exuded a powerful aura. It seemed that he was the kind of person who held a high
position and power.
“W-Who are you? You’re hitting people for no reason. I’m calling the police,” Xaviera shouted.
Warren did not even look at her. Instead, he just turned and asked Amélia, “Did she hurt you?”
“I’m fine,” Amelia replied.
Xaviera felt jealous when she saw Warren’s concern for Amelia. “This woman is not very beautiful, but now Lucas
and this noble and elegant-looking man are both on her side,” she thought to herself.
“You may not know it, but this woman is having a relationship with my ex-husband, and they are getting along well.
Speaking of which, it must be because a widow with a child can’t bear to be lonely…” Xaviera began to talk
viciously.
Nevertheless, Xaviera was slapped in the face again halfway through her words.
“You…”
Slap! Slap! Slap!
Then came the third slap, the fourth slap, and the fifth slap. The sound of Xaviera being slapped continuously could
be heard. Her cheeks were red and swollen, and the corners of her mouth were bleeding.
“Do you want to keep talking?” Warren said as he looked at Xaviera coldly. Even if she was a woman, he showed no
mercy right now.
Xaviera was terrified and kept trembling. Her instinct told her that if she stayed there, she would definitely not just
end up being slapped.
Xaviera quickly left the place.
Lucas then said apologetically to Amelia, “I didn’t know she’d come here to cause trouble. I will… I’ll find a way to
resolve this matter with her and stop her from coming here to cause trouble again.”
After what had just happened, Amelia could already see that Xaviera was more shameless than she had originally
thought.
If an honest man like Lucas really faced a scoundrel like Xaviera, he would probably give her his stall to settle the
matter.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmNonetheless, Amelia was aware that Lucas’ primary source of income was from the stall. He would have a difficult
life with Nadine if he did not have a stall later.
“It doesn’t matter if she still wants to cause trouble here, but you don’t have to give up too much. Certain things will
continue to happen in the future if you give in to them. It will force you until you have no choice to say no,” Amelia
reminded him.
“Yes, I know.” Then Lucas added, “If she comes to bother you again, please let me know.”
When Warren saw the two of them worrying about each other, it made him feel uncomfortable.
After that, Lucas turned around and said to Warren, “Thank you for your help just now, Mr. York!”
“Are you thanking me?” Warren sneered as he added, “I was helping Amelia. Why do you have to thank me?”
He spoke as if he was implying that Amelia and him were together, while Lucas was just a mere outsider.
Lucas looked embarrassed all of a sudden.
Amelia looked at Warren and asked, “What are you doing here?”
“If I told you that I came here because I missed you and Aiden, would you believe me?” Warren asked.
“I think we have made it clear enough between us. Your actions will only cause me trouble, Mr. York,” she said.
“Trouble?” Warren laughed sarcastically, pointing at Lucas. “I will cause you trouble, but what about him? Won’t he
give you trouble too?”
