Dumping My Ex to Flash Marry the Untouchable CEO Chapter 112
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

Stepping out of Walton Corporation, Aurora narrowed her beautiful eyes. The sun was shining bright, yet there was a lingering chill in her chest.She couldn’t understand it. The evidence was practically laid out in front of Grace, so why wouldn’t she believe her?A wave of frustration hit her. She never imagined that, in her mother’s eyes, her words would carry so little weight.If that was the case, then she’d investigate the matter herself.She refused to believe the truth couldn’t be uncovered.Aurora had come to a realization—no amount of arguing could compare to putting solid evidence in front of Grace.Just as she was about to contact a private investigator, her phone rang. It was her mother.She hesitated at first, unsure whether to answer. But in the end, she softened her stance.What if her mother had changed her mind?Her slender fingers slid across the screen. Before she could say a word, Grace’s anxious voice came through.“Aurora, whatever you’re planning, put it asid

Someone recognized Aurora and stepped forward to greet her.She responded with a slight nod, every movement graceful and perfectly measured.As she mingled among the elite, she seemed completely at ease like wherever she went, the spotlight followed.Even the CEOs couldn’t help but praise her.Across the room, Joseph stood watching her, his fists slowly clenching.That woman sure seemed to be doing well without him.How did she managae to dress like that? There was no way a broke college girl could afford an outfit like that.Beside him, Judy leaned in, her expression filled with concern. “Joseph, how do you think Aurora managed to afford that suit? You don’t think she rented it, do you?”At that, Joseph’s expression eased slightly.He turned to Judy with a rare look of approval. “You’ve got a point.”That was exactly what he’d been thinking.Judy tilted her head, feigning innocent confusion. “Wearing a rented outfit to something this important? If someone notices, how could she possibl

She had spent so much time preparing for this project—her proposal aligned perfectly with Vanguard’s design philosophy.She’d double- and triple-checked every detail to make sure nothing could go wrong.There was no way someone like Joseph could derail it all with a few underhanded tricks.Aurora returned to her seat, watching as Joseph dropped his proposal into the submission box and turned back toward his own table.But… that knowing little smirk on his face unsettled her.Something about it didn’t sit right.She mentally went over the entire process again—her proposal, the submission, and every step. Everything had been in order.Feeing reassured, she let herself relax, quietly waiting for the results.As for Joseph? He was just a petty clown who was not worth her time.It took another ten minutes for everyone to finish submitting their documents.Then the coordinator stepped up and announced, “We’ll now move the submission boxes to the back. Our executive team will begin reviewing

Aurora stood in front of the wardrobe, feeling a little awkward.Looking at Lucas like this, she wasn’t sure what she felt.Usually, he was cold and aloof, like someone untouchable.The only times his emotions ever surfaced around her were in bed.Other than that, he always appeared gentle, calm, and composed.This was the first time she’d ever seen Lucas so helpless.Aurora couldn’t help but lower her voice. "Lucas, let go of me first.""No..."His head felt increasingly foggy, but he was still fully aware of what he was doing.With that thought, he tightened his arms around her.Only then did Aurora realize something wasn’t right.She pushed aside the confusing mess of emotions in her chest, turned around, and pressed her palm to his forehead. She gasped, "You're burning up! Are you running a fever? Did you take any medicine?"Lucas stubbornly clung to his need for an answer. "Don’t be mad at me, okay? Rora, I just want an answer. Nothing else matters.""How can it not matter!" Auro

The manager looked a little puzzled. "Sort of. We do have quite a few conflicting projects with Walton Corporation, but don’t worry, Miss Shaws, we and Walton…"Before he could finish, Wendy cut him off. "I already know the rest. Just assign me to the projects that go head-to-head with Walton Corporation."The manager was stunned.To be honest, Walton Corporation was indeed a formidable competitor. On top of that, they’d recently aligned themselves with Vanguard Group. Their standing in Ravenshore had surged dramatically."Miss Shaws, you haven’t been in the country much, so you might not be too familiar with Walton Corporation. They’re actually quite capable."Wendy replied with obvious displeasure, "So what? If they weren’t, I’d find it boring. I want this project. You don’t need to worry about the rest."Here, Wendy was putting on her full heiress airs.The manager clenched his fists, recalling what the higher-ups had said. In the end, he nodded without realizing it. "Right, got

Now that she’d come to terms with it, Tessa knew she couldn’t let things keep going smoothly for Aurora. She needed to start planning for her own future. Sitting nearby with a soft, pleasant smile, Tessa appeared to everyone else like the embodiment of warmth and grace.But to Aurora, it felt unsettling. That smile of Tessa’s reeked of falsehood—she was definitely up to something. Aurora’s eyes flickered with a trace of coldness, but she pushed down the feeling and stayed quiet. After breakfast, Grace and Aurora shared a car to the office. The ride was surprisingly pleasant, as if last night’s tension had completely evaporated. Aurora liked this kind of peaceful interaction, and she didn’t have the heart to ruin the rare calm. Unfortunately, the moment didn’t last long, before she knew it, they had arrived. Each went to her own office and got to work. Aurora was already well-versed in most of the company’s operations. The only thing left on her plate was evaluating

Aurora nodded as Grace spoke. "Alright, Mom. I understand." But Grace could tell she hadn’t really taken her words to heart. She couldn’t help but add, "This was your choice, Aurora. No one can walk it for you. "If it’s the path you chose, then you have to stick with it. What truly matters is the two of you are doing well." Aurora lowered her gaze. She understood exactly what her mother was getting at. It was just like the past when she chose to be with Joseph. "I get it, Mom. You should get some rest. I’m an adult now." She tucked a loose strand of hair behind her ear and looked at her mother, speaking clearly and steadily. "Don’t worry. I can handle a lot more than you think." Grace felt a flicker of comfort in her heart. "That’s good. Our little Rora really has grown up." Aurora froze for a moment when she heard that. It had been a long time since her mother had called her by her nickname, and she wasn’t quite used to it.Grace noticed the way her daughter paus

Aurora shut the door behind her, completely unaware of Tessa’s furious muttering downstairs. Not that it would’ve mattered—she couldn’t care less. Tessa was only acting this arrogant because their mother wasn’t home. Without anyone to answer her, Tessa sat fuming alone in the living room, her cheeks flushed with anger. She raised her hand, ready to sweep everything off the coffee table in a fit of rage when Grace walked through the front door. "What’s wrong, Tessa? Your face is all red. Are you feeling unwell?" No matter what her daughter had done at those business events, Grace couldn’t bring herself to stay mad. Tessa was still her child, the one she’d doted on since she was little. Even if she was upset, she couldn’t truly be angry with her. Tessa was briefly caught off guard.She quickly pulled herself together and responded to her mother’s concern. "I’m fine, Mom, really. Aurora just got back, and I was a little worried something might’ve happened to her out th

"This ungrateful brat!" The assistant beside him spoke up timidly, "Mr. Hunt, should we find a way to get the Mr. Joseph out?" "Of course!" Melvin looked furious, burning with shame. "At a time like this, what else can we do but get him out?" No matter how disgraceful his son was, once the news got out, it would be the Hunt family’s reputation on the line. What would happen to Hunt Enterprises’ stocks then? He couldn’t afford to take that risk. Seeing Melvin’s expression ease a little, the assistant finally breathed a sigh of relief and went off to find someone to figure out how to get Joseph out. Joseph was already in jail but still hadn’t fully processed what had happened. Aurora had really thrown him straight into jail like that? "Hey! Let go of me!" Joseph yelled at the officers. "Do you even know who I am? How dare you treat me like this!" One of the officers rolled his eyes. "I don’t care who you are. If you’ve broken the law, you’re not getting away with it.

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
Dumping My Ex to Flash Marry the Untouchable CEO Chapter 164
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
