"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,

From the start of Grace’s birthday celebration, Julian had already sensed that Aurora’s sister was no easy woman to deal with. And now, hearing her speak like this in front of so many people only confirmed what he had suspected all along. But Aurora didn’t seem the least bit rattled. She smiled easily. "You’re giving me too much credit, sister." "I don’t think he’s chasing after me. After all, I saw him bothering you just now as well. He’s always been a flirt. That’s just who he is." Tessa’s expression faltered, her calm gaze flashing briefly with panic. "He’s your ex, not mine. What does that have to do with me? You must’ve been mistaken. I’ve never even met him before." "You better hope I was mistaken," Aurora said quietly as she stepped closer, leaning in to whisper at her ear. "You really think I don’t know what you’ve been up to? I know every filthy little thing you’ve done. If you don’t want me dragging it all to Mother, I suggest you start behaving." Aurora smiled

Aurora's eyes widened slightly. Now she understood why Tessa had insisted they all take a glass of wine. This wasn’t about making peace—it was just the opening move. The entire front of Lucas’ chest was soaked. With a loud clatter, the tray hit the floor. "I'm so sorry, sir! I didn’t mean to… I’m really sorry, are you alright?" the server stammered. The commotion instantly drew everyone's attention, heads turning toward them. Before Aurora could say a word, Tessa stepped forward and began scolding the server. "How are you even working here? You can’t hold a tray of drinks properly? You still want your bonus this month? Who’s in charge of you?" Aurora frowned at her sister’s performance, something about it feeling deeply off. "That’s enough, Tessa. What’s the point of yelling at him? What’s done is done." Tessa slapped her forehead, as if only now realizing that. "You’re right, I’ll take Lucas to change clothes right away. “Good thing Julian brought a spare suit. If y

"Sister, everyone’s watching right now," Aurora said calmly, her tone even but edged with warning. "So let me say this one last time, stop testing my limits. Like earlier... you must know why the seam on my gown was coming loose, right? I’m sure you have a pretty good idea." She looked at Tessa with deliberate ease, waiting to see how she’d respond. "I..." Tessa’s gaze wavered. She couldn’t meet Aurora’s eyes. She’d assumed Aurora hadn’t noticed the little trick she pulled earlier—that was why she’d acted so brazenly. But clearly, Aurora had just been saving it for the right moment. Julian, meanwhile, also recognized the server who’d caused the spill. Wasn’t that the same man Tessa had whispered to earlier? His eyes narrowed slightly. So, his fiancée wasn’t quite the gentle, graceful woman people claimed she was. How interesting. Tessa’s evasive eyes didn’t go unnoticed. Her guilt was written all over her face. No one here was stupid.After seeing this, how coul

The moment those words left Grace’s mouth, it hit Tessa like a bolt of lightning. How could she not understand what her mother truly meant? It was obvious now that Grace had started to doubt her. She must have believed at least some of what had been said. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have handled her this way. "No... no, please, Mom. I don’t want to rest... I just want to stay by your side," Tessa pleaded, voice trembling, eyes filled with tears. But Grace turned away, refusing to even look at her tear-streaked face. Aurora stood to the side, a faint, cold smile tugging at her lips as she watched the drama unfold. On the surface, it looked like their mother had taken a stand and punished Tessa. But Aurora saw through it. This wasn’t justice—this was protection, plain and simple. If Grace truly wanted the truth, there would’ve been a proper investigation, not this quiet dismissal. Aurora’s heart sank. Even now, even after everything, Grace was still shielding Tessa.

After finishing a glass of wine, Lucas noticed the intense look in Aurora’s eyes. And somehow, he instantly understood what that look meant. He reached out and wrapped his arm around her waist, pulling her close. Their bodies pressed together, breaths mingling—each exhaling into the other’s space. Aurora stared at his handsome face and instinctively swallowed. The desire surging in her.She must have been drunk. That had to be the reason she was craving this man so strongly. "Rora, you…" Before he could finish, Aurora quickly turned her head away. "I’m fine. I’m just a little drunk. Everything’s a bit fuzzy right now." She hadn’t forgotten that they were still out in public. Lucas could tell she was feeling shy. That faint blush at the base of her ears wasn’t from drinking. She might not even realize it, but whenever she got shy, her ears were always the first to turn red. Lucas had noticed that habit not long after they started seeing each other. "Why don’t we he

Lucas stared at the delicate curve of the earlobe in front of him, unable to suppress the desire rising inside him any longer.He lowered his head and took it between his lips, trailing kisses along it…His hand slid along Aurora’s back as his tall frame leaned in and engulfed her completely.Her soft moans spilled out uncontrollably, only to be swallowed entirely by Lucas as the passion between them deepened, tangled, and intensified…Between a man and a woman, intimacy was the most intoxicating thing of all.And that night, their desire unfolded naturally, without restraint.…The next morning.Aurora’s body ached all over, especially her lower back, which throbbed with soreness.She glanced to the side, but Lucas was already gone.She muttered under her breath, "What a beast."He had his fun, pulled up his pants, and disappeared without a word. He didn’t even leave a single message—who knew what urgent matter had come up.Aurora climbed out of bed to look for something to wear.The

Leonard noticed something off about Aurora and followed her line of sight.A delicate, lively young woman fluttered like a butterfly into the arms of a tall man."Lukey, I knew you’d come!" she exclaimed, dashing toward Lucas with uncontainable joy in her eyes.Amidst the crowd, the two embraced as if no one else existed around them.It was like a scene straight out of a film—beautiful, moving, and unreal.Aurora’s hands slowly clenched at her sides, her red lips pressing into a thin line.The pair embracing before her were her husband and a woman she didn’t even know.Watching them, she couldn’t quite describe what she was feeling.So that was Lucas’ true love?She really lived up to her expectation. She was pure, radiant, and looked like a princess untouched by the world.The tenderness in Lucas’ gaze was something Aurora rarely saw.He usually gave off a distant, cold aura—most who met him would describe him as aloof.But with the girl in his arms, Aurora could clearly see a softnes

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
