Chapter 170

Author: Love Berries
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

I really wish the story didn't drag. Every time Lucas and Aurora get close, they never have enough time to tell each other what they really feel. if Lucas knows she's jealous of Wendy, why doesn't he tell her that she is his one true love. Frustrating .

    “Since I have to meet a client tomorrow, I came back early to get things ready.”Aurora handed her bag to Lucas, and he took it naturally, hanging it up as if it were second nature.Her delicate nose twitched as she drew in the aroma. “What are you cooking? It smells amazing.”Lucas chuckled. “All your favorites, little foodie. These are the dishes you’ve mentioned before. I had some free time today, so I made them all for you.”Warmth spread through Aurora’s chest. “How are you this thoughtful? Do you really remember every casual thing I say?”“Of course. I treasure you because I love you.”Aurora froze, caught off guard. She glanced at his handsome profile, surprised. He had never spoken so plainly before. He used to keep everything locked inside rather than say it aloud. Hearing him now left her a little shaken.“You… why are you being so…” She didn’t finish the question, but Lucas understood. His lips curved into a smile.“After watching you lie in that hospital bed for a month, u

    Ian’s eyes also carried excitement.He knew that as long as he followed Aurora, he would never suffer any losses.Over the years, the benefits he had gained were obvious to everyone.More importantly, he had truly learned something from her.Ian always believed that the knowledge he gained was more valuable than the wealth he received.After tidying up, Aurora didn’t linger and left directly.When she returned home and saw the familiar villa, her heart filled with endless emotions.In the beginning, the only reason she moved into this villa was because of her mother’s pressure.Both she and Lucas were simply using each other.A lot had happened within those walls, but none more significant than Wendy’s presence.They had fought and hated each other, but even so, Aurora had to admit that she truly loved.During that time, the person she hated most was Lucas.Sometimes, she even wondered—since he already had his so-called true love, why did he bother provoking her?Why insist on telling

    Joseph felt a dull ache in his chest at the thought, but Aurora knew nothing about it.After setting up the appointment, Ian went straight to Aurora’s office to tell her about it.A smile spread across her face. "Perfect. You can come with me tomorrow."This was a project she had only just begun to handle, and she didn’t know as much as Ian did.So, it was better to get his input on many matters.That way, there would be an extra layer of assurance.Ian was more than willing to help Aurora with such matters. "Don’t worry, Miss Aurora, I’m completely at ease handling this."When the time comes, I’ll be right there by your side to assist you."Aurora nodded. "Mm, I do trust you."Daniel is just an old man with particular tastes. We just have to give him exactly what he wants."Ian suggested, "So… should we send him a bit of ‘merchandise’?"Aurora’s eyes narrowed at him. "What do you mean by merchandise?"Is that how I usually speak to you?"Ian froze for a moment. "But Miss Aurora, if we

    Joseph had lost all patience.Before, he’d thought this secretary was easy on the eyes and pleasant enough to have around.Now, she seemed like a block of wood—utterly useless, needing instructions repeated several times before getting anything done.Seeing that he was truly angry, the secretary quickly gathered up the pieces of the broken phone and started for the door. "Alright, sir, I’ll bring the documents over right away."Don’t worry, I’ll find everything in detail. If our company has it, I’ll make sure you get it."Joseph gave a curt "Mm." He knew his own company well enough."Go get to work. I want those documents delivered to me shortly."The secretary nodded quickly and, before long, returned with the files.Only then did Joseph’s expression ease slightly.He looked at the contract he had previously negotiated with Daniel—originally set at ten percent.Now, with Daniel demanding an extra five percent, that meant the profit would be cut from his own company’s share.Which in

    This was a major project—just one percentage point could earn him tens of millions.And now Daniel was asking for five; he was clearly aiming for a huge payout."Mr. Lewis, don’t you think you’re asking a bit too much?" Joseph’s tone rose."Too much? I think it’s reasonable," Daniel replied, casually picking at his ear.In the end, they would all agree to his terms.After all, he still had options—besides Joseph, Walton Corporation was also waiting for his decision.Daniel had always preferred being the one in control, not the one being chosen.He wanted multiple choices on the table.Hearing that smug tone made Joseph clench his fists, his pride stung.But more than anything, he felt helpless.Just as Daniel had guessed, the leverage was in his hands now.If Joseph made a reckless move, all his previous efforts would go to waste.It wouldn’t just be this contract—his future in the industry could end up dependent on Daniel’s favor.With an awkward smile and a hint of flattery in his to

    For businessmen like these, profit was always the top priority.In the few months Joseph had spent in the company, he had already seen through many people’s true nature.These were not people who valued sentiment—they only cared about benefits."So, what exactly are you thinking?" Joseph cut straight to the point, not wanting to waste time on polite pretense.Working with someone like Daniel might bring in big money, but it also required extra caution—his mind was far too calculating.He considered far more angles than most people, and Joseph knew he had to be careful with his words.Otherwise, one careless remark could drop him right into one of Daniel’s traps.So now, he was very deliberate in how he spoke to him, always leaving himself room and keeping a careful balance.Daniel laughed heartily, clearly enjoying Joseph’s straightforwardness.Since he had been seen through, there was no point hiding it."Since you’re being so forthright, Joseph, I won’t keep it from you," Daniel said
