Dumping My Ex to Flash Marry the Untouchable CEO Chapter 109
Grace had always been strict with Aurora.But when it came to Tessa, her feelings leaned more toward compassion than discipline.Tessa was frail since birth, yet always so thoughtful. Whatever she did, she always seemed to consider Grace’s perspective first.Between the two daughters, Grace had often found herself favoring Tessa more, though she would never admit it aloud.She simply wasn’t good at expressing it.Running the company already left her overwhelmed. Most days, she barely had time to breathe, let alone tend to the emotional undercurrents between her children.That was why, at times, she overlooked things she shouldn’t have.“Tessa, whatever happens, if you ever feel wronged, you come to me. I’ll always be on your side,” Grace said gently.Tessa nodded, her voice soft and sweet. “I know, Mom. Thank you.”“Alright, go on now. You’ve got things to do.”Only then did Tessa pull away from her mother’s arms.She left the room and returned to her own, closing the door behind her.

Since the last time they met, there had been no news. It made Joseph anxious. The people he sent out couldn’t get any information on the younger heiress of the Walton family. “Useless bunch,” Joseph muttered under his breath. He paced around the room, going over everything that had happened recently. Something about Aurora didn’t sit right with him. Back when they were together, she had pretended to be so meek and obedient. But the moment they broke up, her true colors began to show. “Aurora, you bitch! If you want to play dirty, don’t blame me for being ruthless. Let’s see who has the last laugh.” Gripping his phone tightly, the veins on the back of his hand bulged. He recalled someone close to Vanguard Group, someone who held a decent position in the company. He was determined to make Aurora pay. There was no way she could be allowed to get this project. Joseph made a call to a senior executive close to Vanguard, instructing him to swap out the voting form Auror

On the other end.Ben returned to his office with his head down and dialed Tessa’s number to report in. “Miss Walton, the task you assigned me has been taken care of.”“You did well,” Tessa replied, her voice filled with satisfaction....After work, Ben grabbed his car keys and brought Aurora to Grand Light Restaurant.Once they entered the private room, two potbellied men were already waiting inside.“Mr. Watson, Mr. Lowe, it’s been a while. I hope you’ve both been well,” Ben greeted them with a smile as he approached.The two men remained seated, looking aloof as they raised their glasses toward him.“We’ve heard that Mr. Smith’s been busy with Vanguard’s project lately. We get it—it’s understandable,” one of them said.Hank chuckled and waved it off, then gave Aurora a look, motioning for her to take a seat. “Not at all. If anything, I’ve been neglectful. I should’ve kept in touch with both of you more often.”Each person at the table had their own agenda. But on the surface, it w

Aurora had no choice but to fall silent, keeping a faint smile on her face. "Alright then, both of you are certainly straightforward men."The main reason we’re here today is to see if we can secure an additional five percent in profit. That’s the lowest Walton Corporation can offer."David and Peter exchanged a look. So that was Walton Corporation’s real intention.At this point, with the Vanguard Group project in play, their products were in demand everywhere. Sales were the least of their concerns. What mattered was who would ultimately secure the deal.And right now, Walton Corporation stood a strong chance.If they did get it, the profit margin could be negotiated.However, drinking was a whole other matter."Miss Walton, matters of business are best discussed after a few rounds," David said, his tone cryptic and slightly displeased.Peter chimed in, "Exactly. We’re just getting started—let’s keep drinking. Only when everyone’s fully loosened up can we really talk frankly."Auro

Lucas spoke with an air of nonchalance. "In that case, this deal..."He didn’t finish the sentence, but David and Peter weren’t fools. They caught the meaning instantly.They turned to Aurora at once. "Miss Walton, we accept all the terms you just mentioned. Did you bring the contract? We’re ready to sign now.""I did."Aurora was still a little dazed. Even with the contract in her hands, it felt somewhat unreal.The rest of the meal went down much easier for her. But for David and Peter, under Lucas’ silent pressure, every bite tasted like ash.Lucas, on the other hand, looked entirely at ease. He’d come here tonight for one reason— to back Aurora.She was his wife. He couldn’t bear to treat her harshly himself, so how could he possibly let a few nobodies get away with it.With that thought, Lucas sent a quick message to Desmond: Look into the Warren and Lowe companies. Create some trouble for them.Desmond didn’t quite understand, but he followed orders without question.They bar

Lucas noticed something was off with Aurora, so when Hank left, he didn’t stop him. Right now, her well-being took priority."You alright?" he asked, leaning down slightly, his voice low with concern.Aurora shook her head, trying to steady herself. "I’m fine. Maybe I just had a bit too much to drink."She pushed his hand away and took a few steps forward, but her body swayed, and she nearly collapsed.Thankfully, Lucas caught her just in time.He could tell she was only trying to act tough.Without another word, he scooped her into his arms, cradling her like a princess.Caught off guard, Aurora let out a soft cry. "What are you doing?""Taking you home, of course."Lucas gently placed her into the passenger seat and fastened her seatbelt with care.As he leaned in, he caught the strong scent of alcohol on her and noticed the warm flush on her cheeks. Unable to resist, he lightly tapped the tip of her delicate nose."You really are a little drunkard. Next time I’m not around, you’re

Aurora let out a soft "mm" and asked, "What is this?""Hangover tea," Lucas said, settling beside her and gently guiding her to lean against his broad shoulder. "You drank quite a bit last night. I figured your head would be killing you this morning, so I made this for you. Drink some—it’ll help."She looked down at the warm orange-yellow liquid in the cup, a quiet warmth blooming in her chest.Her eyes lingered on the sharp lines of his profile and the elegant curve of his nose, and her heart skipped a beat before she could stop it.As a potential husband, Lucas was everything a woman could ask for.Compared to Joseph, he was on another level entirely.Lucas tilted his head, puzzled. "What are you staring at? You need to drink it while it’s still warm, or it won’t work."Snapping out of it, Aurora gave a dazed nod and parted her lips slightly, letting him feed her the first spoonful.The moment it touched her tongue, her eyes widened in surprise.She’d expected it to taste bitter base

It was the first time Lucy had seen Aurora like this.Feeling a bit intimidated, she nodded. “Yeah, he looked like he was in a hurry to leave. Probably something urgent happened at home. Otherwise, he wouldn’t be in such a rush to resign.”Aurora sneered coldly at those words and didn’t respond.She knew perfectly well why Hank resigned.It was simply because he couldn’t bring himself to face her anymore. Besides, being caught between her and Tessa wasn’t exactly a pleasant position to be in.Aurora had already made up her mind. With the contracts signed by the two CEOs in hand, she headed straight to the chairman’s office.She knocked on the door, and only after hearing a response did she push it open.When she entered, she saw Grace wearing glasses with a rosary bracelet attached. Her presence was refined and commanding.Aurora greeted respectfully, “Madam Grace.”Only then did Grace look up, surprised to see it was Aurora.“What brings you here?”After all, despite being at the c

All it did was make Aurora feel like her past self had been unbelievably naive.But Joseph kept going, oblivious to her discomfort. "Those were our best memories. I still remember the first time you blushed, the way you looked in that white dress—so sweet and shy. “You were always so gentle and soft when you were with me… it was such a beautiful time."As he spoke, he watched her face closely, searching for some flicker of emotion.But to Aurora, hearing those words from him made her skin crawl.The more he went on, the more irritated she became. Her expression turned colder by the second.She reached for her phone, ready to call a ride. Staying here any longer felt like a direct assault on her intelligence.Joseph noticed the gesture. That was when it hit him—she hadn’t been listening to a single word he said.And in that moment, he felt like a complete fool.He had poured out his heart, and yet this woman—this ungrateful bitch—could still be so heartless.His eyes darkened. He

Aurora’s anger ignited the second those words left his mouth.Without hesitation, she slapped Joseph hard across the face, her voice sharp and cold. "What the hell is wrong with you?"This is still Walton Corporation, and you think you can throw a fit right here? Whether I talk or not is none of your damn business. Try worrying about yourself."The slap caught Joseph completely off guard. Before he could react, Aurora had already snatched her phone back.He clutched his cheek, momentarily stunned, not even sure where to look.Rage overtook him. "You bitch! You actually hit me!"Aurora raised her chin defiantly. "So, what if I did? You brought it on yourself."Joseph couldn’t stand the smugness in her expression. Grinding his teeth, he snapped, "You think you can just cut me off like that? It’s not gonna be that easy!"Aurora, we were together for three years. Don’t forget, I’ve seen everything. You're not afraid I’ll send it all out?"His threat made Aurora pause, eyes narrowing as s

After all, this was a choice, and a gamble, Aurora had made for herself.Even if she lost the bet, she knew she'd have to deal with the consequences on her own.She pulled out her phone, opened the ride-hailing app, and was just about to book a car when a voice laced with fury and bitterness cut through the air."Aurora Walton, you’re doing this on purpose, aren’t you?"The sudden sound startled her. She hadn’t even noticed someone standing nearby.Steadying herself, Aurora looked up, only to be met with Joseph’s face, dark and twisted with resentment."Well, look who’s changed careers," she said dryly, unable to resist the jab.Joseph blinked, caught off guard. "What’s that supposed to mean?""Nothing much. Just surprised to find a clown performing right outside my office," Aurora said casually. "Now move. Stop blocking my way."At that, Joseph’s expression twisted. The fresh style he’d worked so hard on couldn’t hide the rage contorting his face. "What the hell does that mean? I ca

"Judy, I know things have been tough on you lately. Go ahead and pick out whatever you want."With a grand gesture, Joseph handed her a bank card. "You know the PIN. If it’s not enough, just let me know."Judy was momentarily stunned by the gesture, caught off guard by the sudden generosity."Joseph, you’re so good to me."He pulled her into his arms. "You’re my woman. If I don’t treat you well, who else should I treat well? Go to the mall this afternoon. Don’t come back until you’ve spent it all."Judy leaned into him, looking blissfully content. She could only hope all her previous doubts were just in her head.After sending her off, Joseph got himself styled up and prepared to head to Walton Corporation to see Aurora.The more he thought about things, the more stifled he felt.That spiteful woman—Aurora had kept things from him for three whole years. It had to be intentional.There hadn’t been a shred of trust between them—that was what made being with her so exhausting, and what

The two of them were laughing and chatting, and in Lucas’ eyes, they looked exactly like a family.A flush of red crept into the corners of his eyes as he forced himself to suppress the emotions surging in his chest.He told himself over and over to stay calm and trust Aurora.But watching the scene through the glass, he felt like he was on the verge of losing it.The image of a handsome man, a beautiful woman, and an adorable little girl was the perfect picture of a family. No matter how he looked at it, that’s exactly what it seemed to be.Jealousy churned inside him, bubbling to the surface with every breath he took.In the end, he could only turn and leave.Even though anger simmered beneath his skin, he was still standing near Walton Corporation. He reminded himself that Aurora would give him an explanation.“What if he was only a working partner?” he reasoned, trying to hold on to that thought.…Meanwhile, Joseph paced anxiously in his apartment.He dragged a hand through his

"Yes, our GM’s been busy coordinating with a new project partner. She already left for lunch, probably eating at one of the restaurants nearby."The receptionist answered Lucas’ question without holding anything back.He gave a small nod in thanks and turned to leave.Glancing at his still-silent phone, a flicker of unease crept into his chest.It appeared that Aurora was still upset.He stepped out and wandered around the nearby restaurants, checking one after another. With all the people casting glances his way, he reluctantly pulled on a mask and got back in the car, driving slow laps around the area.Honestly, he hadn’t expected much—just hoped he might get lucky and run into her.But then, through a restaurant’s glass window, he caught a glimpse of a familiar smile.At first, from a distance, he wasn’t sure if it was really her. After all, she was sitting across from a man and a little girl.When he rolled the window down for a better look, the uncertainty vanished.It was Auror

But Lucas wasn’t falling for her tricks anymore. His face remained cold as he said, "Stay a couple more days if you want, but once you're done having your fun, go back.""You’re kicking me out?"Wendy stared at him in disbelief, her face full of shock. They had known each other since childhood—was that bond really worth nothing now?Lucas stayed unmoved, firm in his stance.No matter how much Wendy pouted or begged this time, he didn’t say another word.In the end, the whole scene ended in frustration, with Wendy stewing in her own anger.Lucas had no appetite left either. Grabbing his coat, he headed out the door.Ever since Wendy arrived, he’d realized he needed to reevaluate his relationship with Aurora. He couldn’t keep treating it so casually.Wendy watched his retreating figure, her fists slowly clenching, eyes wide with fury.She had no idea what kind of spell Aurora had cast. Even after acting that smug, Lucas still indulged her.He even cooked for her.Wendy had never see

When Aurora got up, she saw Wendy sitting at the dining table, her eyes sparkling as she looked at Lucas."Wow, Lukey, I didn’t expect to taste your cooking again today. I’ve missed it so much!"Wendy exclaimed dramatically, "You have no idea, the stuff overseas is practically inedible. None of it tastes right. Home is still the best. And especially Lukey’s cooking."But Lucas remained expressionless. "Don’t touch anything. Wait till your sister-in-law gets up."Wendy pouted but, under his gaze, reluctantly put down the piece of fried egg.From the corner of her eye, she saw Aurora.The woman didn’t say a word. She just stood there quietly, like an outsider watching it all unfold.Wendy then walked over to her and, feigning intimacy, hooked her arm through Aurora’s. "My dear sis-in-law, look at all the delicious food Lukey made. Don’t stay upset anymore."If you ask me, you really are lucky. Lukey’s looks and background are both top-tier, and he even knows how to cook. Isn’t that the

Lucas watched Aurora’s retreating figure but didn’t follow. He knew what she needed right now wasn’t more pressure, but space to cool down. If he pushed too hard, it would only make things worse. His fists clenched tightly at his sides. Only when the guest room door slammed shut with a loud bang did he snap out of his daze. Letting out a long, heavy sigh, he turned and headed toward the master bedroom. Meanwhile, in the guest room, Aurora sat in silence, unable to shake the frustration tightening in her chest. She had told herself from the very beginning to never believe a man’s promises. She and Lucas had always been about mutual benefit, and nothing more. And yet, something had started to shift. Something she hadn’t accounted for. Things were slipping out of her control, veering in a direction she didn’t expect and wanted.She raised a hand to her chest, fingers pressing lightly against her heart. That steady thrum felt more and more unmanageable. Why had she go
