Chapter 132

Author: Love Berries
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,

    With his bruised and swollen face, Joseph looked even more ridiculous standing next to them, like a clown who had stumbled into the wrong show. And he knew it. The realization hit him hard as he clenched his fists, eyes fixed on how perfectly Aurora and Lucas stood together. Out of nowhere, jealousy surged through him. "Aurora, you dumped me for some pretty-faced nobody? He doesn’t have a shred of background!" He jabbed a finger at himself. "Don’t forget, I have Hunt Enterprises behind me. What does he have? One day, you’re going to regret this!" He looked almost manic, flailing and shouting as if threats could undo everything. But Aurora didn’t flinch. Her eyes locked on his raised hand, her voice sharp and cold. "Who are you pointing at? "This was my choice. Show some respect. And stop waving Hunt Enterprises around like it makes you someone. Without it, you are nothing." "Even without Hunt Enterprises, I’m still better than that nobody next to you! He’s nothing!" Jo

    She understood what Lucas meant—he wanted to protect her. But she wasn’t someone who would always stand behind a man. Besides, this was between her and Joseph. It needed an ending. On the other side of the venue, Grace had already been informed about what was going on between Aurora and Joseph. Someone asked if she wanted to step in, but Grace stopped them. "This is Aurora’s business. I believe she can handle it." At tonight’s banquet, with so many eyes watching, this was Aurora’s first real moment in the spotlight—a bold debut. Tessa stood among the crowd, enjoying the drama. The messier it got, the happier she was. She was counting on Joseph, useless as he was, not to let her down. Julian watched quietly from the sidelines. Ever since Aurora had exposed that recording, what little affection he had left turned mostly into resentment. What did beauty matter, if a woman’s mind was always calculating? A woman like her, even if he married her, would never give him a

    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!" His voice lingered in the air, echoing in Aurora’s ears. She frowned slightly, feeling a little annoyed deep down. Lucas wrapped his arm around her shoulder and gently comforted her. "Alright, don’t let trash like that upset you. He’s not worth it." "You’re right." Aurora smiled and turned to the other guests. "Sorry for letting you see such a scene. It’s a personal matter, nothing to dwell on. Let’s just laugh it off and not let it spoil the mood." "Yes, yes, Miss Aurora handled it perfectly. That’s exactly how you deal with a man like that." Her colleagues were all a little shocked by her decisive approach, whispering among themselves. "Looks like Aurora was way too soft o

    "Madam Grace is really blessed. With your younger daughter securing this project, it looks like we’ll all be counting on you in the future." "Oh, not at all," Grace replied politely. All evening, similar compliments had been endless. But no one mentioned the situation between Aurora and Joseph in front of her. No one wanted to be that foolish. After all, things between them had already soured publicly at the banquet. Between Hunt Enterprises and the Walton Corporation, everyone knew which held more weight. Rather than waste time on irrelevant gossip, it was smarter to strike up a conversation with Grace. Who knew? Getting on her good side might just lead to smoother business dealings down the line. Tessa withdrew her gaze and exhaled slowly. The scale in their mother’s heart had already tipped. If she didn’t start fighting for herself now, there would be no place for her in the Walton family at all. “Aurora, you must be feeling proud, aren’t you?”With that thought,

    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

    Wendy caught the sharp glint in Lucas’ eyes and finally realized that he was genuinely angry. She clicked her tongue and said casually, “Alright then. You two talk it out. Just don’t fight because of me.” The chill in Aurora’s gaze deepened. She gave a cold scoff and turned to leave, ready to walk out and give them all the space they needed. But Lucas didn’t let go. His hand remained firmly locked around her wrist. Aurora struggled, but his grip didn’t budge. Her voice turned icy. “Let go. Go be with her. Don’t touch me.” A vein pulsed at Lucas’s temple, his jaw tight as he stared at her lips moving—every word cutting deeper than the last. He wanted to shut her up right now. And behind them, Wendy stood with her back turned, the corners of her mouth lifting slowly into a smug smile. “Oh, my dear sister-in-law, this is only the beginning. You’ll get used to it, won’t you? Watching your man slip right through your fingers.”The thought made her giddy. Her steps grew l

    “It’s fine. No need to explain.”Aurora looked at the two of them standing together—the tall, striking man and the delicate, sweet-looking woman beside him.They looked oddly well-matched together.In that moment, it felt like something hollowed out inside her chest.She couldn’t even describe what she was feeling.Wendy stepped forward, her eyes quickly scanning Aurora’s face, a flicker of jealousy passing through her gaze. Then she smiled and said sweetly, “So you’re back, my dear sister-in-law.“Don’t get the wrong idea. There’s nothing between Lukey and me. We’ve known each other since we were kids. He brought me home because I didn’t have anywhere else to go.”Her hand was still linked around Lucas’ arm as she glanced up at him, urging him to speak. “Lukey, go on and explain things to her. She looks really upset.”“Since childhood?”Wendy blinked innocently. “Of course. Didn’t Lukey ever mention me to you?”Aurora raised an eyebrow.That one sentence lit a fire in her chest she c

    She couldn’t help wondering—what did his wife look like? What kind of woman was she? The man she’d had her eyes on for so long, the one she grew up with, had been taken by someone else just like that. How could she possibly be willing to accept it? Today, she was determined to meet this so-called wife. After dinner, Lucas offered to drive Wendy back. But she refused. “Lukey, I hardly ever come to Ravenshore, and you’re really going to make me stay in a hotel the whole time?” She sat in the backseat, turning her head toward the window, lips slightly pouting. It wasn’t that she didn’t want to sit in the front. She had tried until Lucas’s reaction made it very clear she shouldn’t. The moment she’d reached for the passenger door, he had snapped, telling her that seat was reserved for his wife. She would never forget how he’d shut her down when she joked, “Not even me? I’m not like those other women. We grew up together!” She’d teased him playfully. “Come on, Lukey, sav

    Watching the scene unfold, Lucas felt a flicker of dissatisfaction. He was beginning to think it might be time to have a serious conversation with Kenneth about his sister’s entitled behavior. But before he could dwell on it, Wendy switched gears with surprising ease. She held up a shirt with a bright smile. “Lukey, look at this one! I think it’s perfect for you!” She grabbed a matching tie and pair of pants. “And this tie and these trousers—now it’s a full set!” Lucas gave them a once-over, his eyes narrowing slightly. They were exactly his style—simple, sharp, and the kind of clothes he usually wore. Just as he was about to pay, Wendy beat him to it. “I’ve got it. Lukey, this is my gift to you.” For some reason, that warmed him more than he expected. After all, even Aurora had never really bought him anything like this. "Alright," he said, a rare trace of softness in his tone. "Looks like you’ve grown up." Wendy grinned and leaned in playfully. “Of course I have

    After the server brought over the extra pudding, she bent down with a patient smile and started chatting with Nora. She gently reminded her not to eat too much at once, saying she could finish this one and come back next time for more. If she liked it, they’d be happy to have her again. In the warm sunlight, the delicate lines of Aurora’s profile seemed to glow, especially when she spoke to Nora—her whole face lit up with a soft, heartfelt smile. Leonard found himself staring, momentarily dazed. His heart skipped a beat without warning. Inside the restaurant, everything else faded into the background. In his eyes, there was only Aurora and his little sister. The warmth in Aurora’s voice, the kindness in her expression—it all made the corners of Leonard’s mouth lift, almost involuntarily. Maybe it was time for Nora to have a little more contact with the outside world. …“Lukey, you’re always working,” Wendy pouted, her full lips forming a perfect little frown, the innoce

    No matter what Aurora said, Nora remained quiet and unresponsive, her expression blank. She clutched a bunny plush in her arms and kept herself hidden behind Leonard, entirely in her own world. Even so, Aurora showed no sign of frustration. If anything, her eyes softened with even more sympathy. Leonard couldn't help but speak up. "Aurora, it’s alright. You should go ahead and eat. Don’t worry about my sister. I’ll take care of her. If she wants to eat, she’ll eat." Seeing how patient Aurora was made Leonard feel a little embarrassed. Part of him was surprised. But he couldn’t help but wonder—was Aurora really this kind and compassionate, or was it just a front because of their business partnership? With that thought lingering, he gave her a more thoughtful look. Aurora returned to her seat, a little reluctantly. At first, she’d wanted to get close to Leonard for work reasons, to build a stronger partnership. But now, after seeing what Nora had been through at such a
