Chapter 128

Author: Love Berries
At those words, the smile on Tessa's face completely cracked.Even Aurora herself was caught off guard.

She didn’t have any real connection with the CEO of Vanguard Group—why would he be sending her anything?

“Could there be a mistake?” she asked aloud, unable to stop herself.

After all, she was just a low-level employee.

She barely knew the man.

Tessa’s eyes lit up with hope—maybe the gifts were meant for her? Maybe they had simply mistaken the two of them.

But the bodyguard shook his head with unwavering certainty. “No mistake. The president gave clear instructions—these gifts are for Miss Aurora Walton.”

Tessa nearly shattered her molars, her eyes burning with jealousy so intense it was practically visible.

Around them, guests turned toward Aurora, their gazes filled with admiration and envy.

Even her coworkers stood stunned, completely thrown off.

The bodyguard looked to Aurora, his tone respectful. “Miss Walton, these are from our president. Please feel free to inspect them.”

    Grace gave Aurora a subtle look, gesturing for her to change into the gown that had just been gifted.Her current dress was soaked, and continuing to wear it was simply inappropriate for the occasion.Aurora agreed—she couldn’t go on like this. After offering a quick word of thanks, she followed the attendant to change.This time, Tessa didn’t follow.Her freshly manicured nails dug deep into her palm.But the pain in her hand couldn’t compare to the ache twisting in her chest.She had seriously underestimated her darling sister.So, Aurora had managed to climb into the good graces of the man behind Vanguard Group?All this time, she'd kept a low profile, hiding behind work and humility, only to come out with a move like this?“Fine. Let’s see who has the last laugh,” she thought.Grace, meanwhile, was feeling nothing but satisfaction. The timing of the CEO’s gift delivery couldn’t have been better—it was even more impactful than if he’d come in person.Now, everyone clustered around

    With all eyes on her, Grace stepped proudly onto the stage.“Everyone, may I have your attention.”The crowd immediately quieted, curious to hear what she had to say.She turned her head toward Aurora, who was gracefully approaching, and extended her hand.Aurora understood the gesture and smiled—a soft, melting smile, like the first snow of winter giving way to spring. Then she gently placed her hand in Grace’s.Grace turned back to the guests and spoke with composure and pride.“Tonight’s business cocktail party was held for more than just celebration. I have two important announcements to make.”“First, I’d like to officially introduce the young woman standing beside me. This is the younger heiress of the Walton family and of Walton Corporation—Aurora Walton!”A collective gasp echoed across the hall.Some who already knew the truth reacted calmly, even remarking that the resemblance between Grace and Aurora was unmistakable.But those who hadn’t known were visibly stunned.“What?S

    "After careful consideration, I’ve decided to step down from my position as General Manager of Walton Corporation and pass it on to my second daughter, Aurora."Aurora simply stood on stage, quietly fulfilling her role as the pretty face.It wasn’t until Grace brought her up that she stepped forward to speak.Just as Grace finished speaking, she handed the microphone over to Aurora.Aurora took it naturally and gave a soft smile. "Thank you, Madam Grace."Grace patted her on the shoulder and said disapprovingly, "No need to call me so formally at a cocktail party. What’s with all this formality?"Aurora merely smiled, a hint of a dimple flickering at the corner of her lips."Understood, Mother."The crisp way she addressed her as “Mother” stunned everyone present.Even those colleagues who had worked with her before, initially confused, were soon left in shock.No one knew that the daughter of the Chairwoman was working in the same department as them.It was such an honor.They could on

    Julian noticed something was off with Tessa. He stepped forward and held her up. "Tessa, are you alright?""Your face is so pale. Are you feeling unwell? Should I take you home?"Tessa shook her head slightly, unwilling to leave."I'm fine. Today is my sister’s big day. How could I miss it?"The last few words were spoken through gritted teeth.Tessa couldn’t accept that she had failed to sabotage Aurora and having to watch her shine on stage.“Aurora Walton, we still have a long road ahead. I refuse to believe you can dodge every blow,” she thought,Julian wrapped an arm around Tessa’s shoulders, gently comforting her and staying close by her side.He looked at Aurora standing on the stage. She was stunning—so dazzling it stirred something deep inside him again.But ever since that incident at the Walton villa, his family had given him strict orders to get along with Tessa.He hadn’t really gone out since then.Today was the first time he left the house, using the business event as a

    Joseph changed direction and walked straight toward the figure he had just spotted.Wasn’t that the same woman he’d seen at Walton Corporation’s front desk posing as the younger heiress of the Walton family?In an instant, the anger inside him reignited.If not for this woman, he never would’ve said those things in front of Aurora.Now, every time he faced her, there was an awkwardness he couldn’t shake, especially after spewing all that harsh nonsense and ending up thoroughly humiliated.It was all this woman’s fault. He had to find out who she really was.Joseph stormed forward and saw her nestled against a man. Without hesitation, he yanked Tessa away. "You bitch, who the hell are you?"Tessa had still been stewing over Aurora’s moment of glory, her mind spinning with schemes for what to do next.She was caught off guard when someone suddenly dragged her aside, and before she could even react, she was being showered with verbal abuse.No one would tolerate that calmly.When she got

    Just the Hayes family alone was enough to deal with Hunt Enterprises—there was nothing to fear.Still, Julian spoke up. "So what? Does it mean I can’t hit you because I know who you are?”"Of course!" Joseph snapped. "Our Hunt family is one of the top few in Ravenshore. You think we’d just let you walk all over us? I…" "So, you mean you'd even dare to lay a hand on the elder heiress of the Walton family?" The moment Julian finished, Joseph raised his hand to retort, his mouth working faster than his brain. "Why would I care if she’s the elder… what? Heiress of the Walton family?”Joseph's expression froze. His arm was still mid-air, making him look utterly ridiculous. His gaze shifted from Julian to Tessa, disbelief written all over his face. He stammered, "You're the elder heiress of the Walton family?" "I forgot to introduce myself. I’m Tessa Walton." Tessa lifted her chin slightly, her face full of haughtiness as she stared at Joseph. She enjoyed the stunned look on his

    Joseph gave a slight nod and said nothing more, his face clouded with disappointment and frustration. Julian slipped an arm around Tessa’s waist, leaned close to her ear, and said loud enough for others to hear, “Tessa, stay away from people like him next time. He’s not worth your time.” Joseph clenched his fists. He knew exactly who that jab was aimed at and finally snapped. “Julian, that’s enough. You’ve already punched me twice—what more do you want?” Julian didn’t answer. He simply let out a cold scoff. Not wanting to stir things up any further, Joseph turned and left. He could feel the eyes on him, and the proud posture he usually carried was now slightly hunched. He didn’t dare linger, afraid more attention would land on him. Slipping off to a corner, he tried to avoid the stares. But he wasn’t planning to leave just yet. “Damn you, Aurora. I won’t forget this. You really played your cards well.” Staring at the glass in front of him, Joseph grabbed one and down

    Hearing the voice, Aurora turned her head and locked eyes with Joseph’s dark, twisted expression. Her face immediately darkened. "Let go of me, you lunatic!" "Let go?" Joseph's grip tightened as he growled through clenched teeth, "You’re not leaving until you give me a damn good explanation!" Aurora winced, her red lips parting in pain. "Who is this? Where did he come from?" Lucy’s heart clenched at the scene. Seeing Aurora being treated like that, she instinctively looked around for help. Joseph barked furiously, "Tell me, have you been playing me all along? Laughing at me behind my back? Am I just a joke to you? Is that what you’ve been getting off on?" Aurora let out a cold laugh, still struggling to wrench her wrist free. "You seem to forget—I'm the star of tonight’s show." "And as for what you are… you’re right. A joke. A pathetic clown jumping around for everyone’s amusement. What more can you do but flail?" "You…!" Driven over the edge, Joseph raised his hand,

    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
