Chapter 116

Author: Love Berries
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

    Though suspicion lingered in her heart, Aurora forced herself to wait patiently.That was when Joseph approached with Judy by his side.“Still waiting around?” he said with a smug grin. “You might as well head out. You’re going to end up with nothing anyway.”“What’s that supposed to mean?”Aurora frowned. There was something different about Joseph today—something unnervingly smug, as if he was completely sure she wouldn’t win the bid.But the project wasn’t even under his jurisdiction. Where was all that confidence coming from?Judy, hearing his words and recalling all the little things leading up to this, finally pieced it together. He must’ve pulled some strings behind the scenes to sabotage Aurora.The two of them going head-to-head was exactly what she wanted. She couldn’t stand Aurora’s smugness either.Joseph lifted his chin arrogantly. “You don’t need to know what I meant. Just understand that there’s no way you’re getting this project. “And don’t say I didn’t warn you. We

    “It better not be,” Aurora said coolly, arching a brow. “In that case, Mr. Hunt, I suggest you sit down, show a little manners, and enjoy my speech from your seat.”Joseph stared at her smug expression, his fist curling slowly at his side.“Bitch, just you wait,” he thought.Aurora met his glare without flinching.It wasn’t until Judy tugged gently on Joseph’s sleeve that he finally sat down, though clearly against his will.Seeing this, the curve of Aurora’s lips widened slightly.If someone insisted on making a fool of themselves in public, she had no problem playing along. It cost her nothing.She turned and walked toward the coordinator, accepting the contract with composed elegance.“Congratulations, Miss Walton. We look forward to a successful partnership between Vanguard and Walton.”Aurora nodded. “Naturally.”She turned back to face the room, eyes sweeping across the banquet hall, including the furious, fuming Joseph.Her words of gratitude spilled from her lips with effortle

    Aurora stood to the side with a constant smile on her face. This time, she could finally breathe a sigh of relief.She had passed Grace’s test. What came next was the real challenge.Once the excitement died down, Grace looked at Aurora with a smile in her eyes. “Aurora, come to my office.”Aurora was a little surprised but simply replied, “Okay,” and followed her mother out.“The Chairwoman’s definitely going to reward her with something.”“I think there’s a good chance she’ll get promoted.”“You’re probably right. We’ve all seen what Aurora’s capable of.”“Exactly. Aurora’s ideas played a huge role in securing this project!”No one in the department thought otherwise. Everyone genuinely felt happy for her.As Aurora followed Grace into the office, she understood that her mother was about to honor the bet.But ever since what had happened last time, there was still a thorn in her heart.“Madam Grace, what do you need from me?” Aurora shut the door behind her and looked calmly at Grace

    As soon as those words were spoken, a wave of murmurs spread through the crowd."Is that true?"Someone voiced their doubt. "Exactly. The CEO of Vanguard Group never attends events like this. No one has even seen what he really looks like.""That’s just what I heard. Who knows if it’s true or not.""If he really shows up at this party, Walton Corporation’s status will be on a whole different level."Everyone nodded in agreement.Who in Ravenshore hadn’t heard of his decisive methods?Not to mention his standing in the city—he was a force above the elite families.Upstairs on the second floor, Tessa watched the scene below. Her beautiful features twisted slightly with frustration. She knew all too well what the purpose of this event was.But why?They were both heiresses of the Walton family, so why was Grace so biased?The resentment in Tessa’s heart was about to overflow.She turned and saw a row of rooms on the second floor. When her eyes landed on the one labeled “Dressing Room,”

    Hearing that the Chairwoman was looking for Aurora, Joseph stood frozen on the spot, completely caught off guard.His eyes widened, mouth slightly agape, and his voice shot up in pitch, making him look rather ridiculous. "You’re the second heiress of the Walton family?"Aurora raised an eyebrow and nodded without hesitation. "What, are you shocked?"It was almost laughable. After three years together, he still had no idea who she really was.The hall manager also looked at Joseph in surprise, wondering why this man was making such a fuss.Joseph’s overly loud voice had drawn attention, and soon the area became a small spectacle.Thinking back to those three years with Aurora, Joseph remembered how plain her clothes had been, how she lived in a rented place until he couldn’t stand it anymore and let her move in with him.How could someone like that possibly be the rumored second heiress of the Walton family?When he finally processed everything, his expression shifted from shock to disd

    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

    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
