LOGINAurora Walton once made a bet with her mother—if Joseph Hunt ever fell in love with her, her mother would step aside and let them be together. So, upon learning that Joseph preferred gentle and resilient girls, she disguised herself as a struggling college student to get close to him. But in the end, Joseph crushed her illusions, holding his first love in his arms as he looked at Aurora with disdain. "A gold-digging nobody like you? How could you ever compare to Judy?" Humiliated and heartbroken, Aurora walked away, returning home to claim her rightful place as heiress to a billion-dollar empire. Years later, she returned, draped in a custom-made designer gown worth million, exuding elegance and power. Beside her stood a man whispered to be untouchable, feared, and revered. As she crossed paths with Joseph once more, the tables had turned. This time, it was Joseph who was left in regret. He took to social media with a public confession: "I used to think I loved strong, one-of-a-kind women. But Aurora, meeting you made me realize that love isn’t about rules. You are my exception." That very night, the elusive Lucas Carter broke his silence, releasing a long-cherished photograph. In it, a girl smiled brightly, untamed and full of life. With absolute certainty, he took Aurora’s hand and made his declaration for the world to hear. "Mrs. Carter, there are no exceptions. You've always been the one. And I've been waiting for this moment my whole life."

“Lucas, do you really think what you’re doing is appropriate?”Megan instinctively called out Lucas for his behavior.No matter what, she was Aurora’s close friend, so why was Lucas acting like this toward her?Besides, she and Aurora had known each other longer than Lucas had. Wasn’t his coughing just now a bit out of place?Thinking that, Megan seemed to find her footing, straightened her back, and didn’t back down.“She’s my wife. If you think what I’m doing is inappropriate, then do you think it’s appropriate for you to be hugging her?”Lucas spoke as he moved over casually and sat down beside Aurora.With Lucas on one side and Megan on the other, Aurora was tightly sandwiched between them.Aurora felt an immediate headache coming on.Before she could say anything, Megan suddenly wrapped her arms around Aurora’s right arm.“I don’t care. Aurora is my friend too, and I’ve known her longer than you have. Why shouldn’t I be allowed to hug her?“Lucas, what you’re doing is really selfi
“Megan, I hope you don’t overthink things. You need to focus on recovering properly—don’t forget, in a couple of days you’ll still be coming with me to Lakeshore City for the shoot.”“I know. I’ll definitely support you properly.”Aurora’s gaze flickered.She pressed a hand to Megan’s shoulder, then took a step back.The distance between them widened slightly.Aurora and Megan stood facing each other.Seeing this, Megan felt a little puzzled. She tilted her head and looked at Aurora, not understanding what she meant.“Aurora…?”Aurora’s expression turned serious, her eyes fixed on Megan.“Megan, what you just said wasn’t right.”“What was wrong with what I said?”Megan scratched her head, completely confused.From her point of view, there didn’t seem to be any problem with what she’d said.More importantly, she was used to staying by Aurora’s side. No matter what she did, she always liked to ask Aurora’s opinion first.Because of that, she had long felt she wasn’t very capable.She was
Meanwhile, Megan dragged Aurora away in a fury.Right now, she didn’t want to forgive anyone at home.Aurora was such a good person—what right did her father have to say things like that?And besides, it was because of her that things had turned out this way. It had nothing to do with Aurora at all, yet Robert refused to understand.He had pinned baseless blame on Aurora without even asking her opinion.Thinking about it made Megan feel indignant on Aurora’s behalf.“What’s wrong with you all of a sudden?”Aurora was still completely confused.She had been dragged out without warning, and even now, she hadn’t fully processed what was happening.“Aurora, I know my dad went way too far today.”Megan stopped in front of her, hesitation flickering across her face.She genuinely didn’t know how to face Aurora right now.No matter what, her father’s disrespect toward Aurora had been out in the open.Even Megan herself felt it was deeply unfair to Aurora.Aurora waved her hand, showing she di
But he never got an answer. The security guards dragged him out before he could. Even as he was being taken away, Joseph was still shouting, "No, Aurora Walton, I don’t believe it! I know you still have feelings for me!"You’re with that pretty boy now, but you’ll never be happy. You’ll regret it!
In that moment, Aurora wasn’t thinking about anything else. Her eyes were fixed solely on the man before her.She had to admit that Lucas was exactly her type. Everything about him aligned perfectly with her aesthetic. If it had been anyone else, she would never have accepted it this naturally.S
Desmond glanced at Lucas, surprised by what he saw.It was his first time witnessing his boss like this—so disheveled and out of sorts. The sight left a bitter taste in his mouth.The man he knew was always composed, powerful, and ambitious, never one to show emotion.So, this… was it all because o
"Real action, huh? Fine. I’ll show you exactly what I’m capable of."Joseph took a deep breath, his gaze sweeping across the crowd that still hadn’t dispersed. The sight only made his anger surge."What are you all staring at? Don’t you have your own business to deal with? Why are you all still hang
