Dumping My Ex to Flash Marry the Untouchable CEO Chapter 175
Tolerating her once or twice was fine, but it just became annoying after having to do it too many times.He had his own life too. There was no reason to waste all his time on her. No need at all.After breakfast, Aurora headed to work at Walton Corporation.This time, she drove herself.As usual, the receptionist greeted her politely."By the way, Miss Walton, I saw Mr. Knight waiting in the reception room."Aurora nodded. "Got it."She was a little surprised. The design draft was supposed to take three days—it had only been two. Leonard was already here?That thought stirred a bit of excitement in her.When she entered the lounge, sure enough, Leonard and Nora were already there.Hearing the sound of heels, Nora tensed at first. But once she saw Aurora, her expression clearly relaxed.Leonard’s smile widened slowly as he looked at Aurora."Sorry for bothering you so early."Aurora smiled and countered, "You’re being too polite. Besides, this is my working hour anyway."Leonard cons

"Balancing adults and children—that’s what real living is about. Just getting back to the essence of life."Aurora's eyes lit up. "You’re absolutely right!"Leonard didn’t say much in response. He knew exactly what kind of design Aurora liked.This concept was grounded in everyday life—something close, something real.That was why he was confident. He knew Aurora would love this design."Alright, I’ll show this to the chairman."Her gaze toward Leonard was filled with appreciation.This was real talent, and someone the Walton Corporation couldn’t afford to lose.Her mother was right. They couldn’t let him go work elsewhere.The two of them went on to discuss more ideas around the project. The deeper the conversation went, the more Aurora admired Leonard.And Leonard felt the same—refreshed, even exhilarated.It had been a long time since he’d met someone who clicked with him so well.Not to mention, people who could keep up with his thought process were rare to begin with.But Aurora

Leonard spoke up at just the right moment. "That’s how she shows affection—by staring at someone she likes without blinking."Aurora’s smile widened. With a casual wave, she ordered a few more desserts that kids usually loved.Watching the two of them together, Leonard felt a warmth bloom in his chest, so full it nearly overflowed.That afternoon, the three of them arrived at the biggest mall in the city—Grand Zen Mall.They had a clear goal and headed straight for the clothing section on the third floor.Faced with rows of colorful children’s clothes, Aurora felt a bit overwhelmed by all the choices.Leonard, carrying little Nora in his arms, followed closely beside her."Aurora, should we head straight to the kids’ section?""Yeah, just through the women’s section. The children’s clothes are right past it."The moment Leonard heard the words women’s section, his eyes lit up and he quickly suggested, "Well, since we’re not in a rush this afternoon, do you want to take a look at some

Wendy avoided her gaze, pretending not to understand what Aurora was saying."What are you talking about, Aurora? I don’t get what you mean."Aurora let out a cold scoff, saying nothing, just watching this woman put on her little act.Her performance was so clumsy that anyone with half a brain wouldn’t fall for it.But of course, someone actually did.Rachel jumped in without a second thought, standing protectively in front of Wendy. She snapped at Aurora, "Don’t make things hard for Wendy. She can say whatever she wants. It’s none of your business."You’re nothing more than Wendy’s shadow anyway."That line struck a nerve. Aurora’s fingers curled into a tight fist.Even Leonard couldn’t help but glance at her.Her face turned grim, eyes locked coldly on Wendy.So, this was what Wendy had been spreading behind her back. And now, with Lucas nowhere around, she didn’t even bother keeping up the act.This was the good little childhood friend Lucas always talked about?Wendy tugged at Ra

When Joseph Hunt brought his first love to the birthday banquet, Aurora Walton knew she had lost.In the corner of the room, she glanced at the messages from her mother, Grace Williamson."Aurora, you lost.”"Three years, and Joseph still doesn’t love you. As agreed, it’s time for you to come back and take responsibility."Out of the corner of her eye, Aurora looked at the girl in Joseph’s arms.This was the first time she had seen Joseph’s first love.She was pure, with a soft and gentle demeanor, quiet and serene. Even in cheap clothing, she stood out effortlessly.So, this was the type Joseph liked.A faint bitterness spread across Aurora’s lips.She suddenly remembered four years ago when a bold socialite flirted with Joseph and confessed her feelings. He lazily flicked his cigarette, his eyes holding a trace of detached amusement as he smirked, "Sorry, lady, I like girls who are quiet and ordinary."At the time, Aurora was secretly in love with Joseph for two years.However, Grac

Aurora didn’t linger in Westbridge for long. She only stayed in the city for Joseph, but now that she had graduated and he had someone else, there was no reason for her to remain. That night, she booked a flight home to Ravenshore. When she stepped off the plane, Megan Quinn was already waiting for her. "This time, are you staying for good?" "I am." For years, Aurora spent most of her time chasing after Joseph, rarely returning to Ravenshore. Her time with Megan had been scarce. But now that the bet was lost, she had no reason to leave again. Megan heard about what happened with Joseph and couldn’t help but sigh. Still, she only smiled and looped her arm through Aurora’s. "Forget the bad luck. Tonight, we celebrate."Aurora returned her smile and didn’t refuse. Megan took her to the most exclusive club in Ravenshore, ordered the finest drinks, and threw her a single-life party. One drink in, and the frustration Aurora had been carrying for years finally started t

Megan had always found her cousin a little intimidating. The moment she got into the car, she stayed quiet, not daring to say a word. Inside the vehicle, the silence felt oddly heavy. Aurora’s gaze drifted to the leather-wrapped rosary bracelet around Lucas’ wrist. There was something familiar about it, but with the alcohol clouding her mind, she couldn’t quite place it.Still, a hazy memory surfaced as she recalled the first time she had ever met him.Years had passed, yet he remained just as striking, his presence just as commanding. Megan’s house was close by. After dropping her off, Lucas continued driving, now heading to Aurora’s hotel. With just the two of them left in the car, his voice suddenly broke the silence, casual yet unreadable. "Planning to stay in Ravenshore?" "Yeah." Aurora hesitated for a moment before nodding. They weren’t particularly close, so after that brief exchange, the silence quickly returned. The air conditioning was on full blast, and

How did he know about her and Joseph? The thought flashed through Aurora's mind, but she simply smiled and said, "No, Lukey. It's just that you've had your fun too, so let's just leave it at that." She blinked, though a hint of guilt still lingered inside her. Lucas was different. Brilliant, accomplished, and famously unattainable, he was like the cold moon hanging high in the sky. She had committed a sin. Aurora cursed silently in her heart. Lucas flicked the ash off his cigarette. He didn't confirm or deny it—his gaze simply darkened."Whatever," he said coolly. Aurora let out a quiet breath of relief. After getting dressed, she left the hotel and took a cab back to the Walton estate. Just as she got into the car, a short distance away, Judy caught a glimpse of her and froze for a moment. Then, biting her lip, she tugged at Joseph. "Joseph, I think I just saw Miss Walton." "Aurora? What would she be doing here?" Joseph frowned slightly. This was a five-sta

But the next morning, when Wendy saw the two of them walk out of the room together, the smile on her face instantly froze.Aurora found her stunned expression amusing.In fact, she even greeted her cheerfully. "Morning. Why’s your mouth hanging open like that?"At that, Wendy quickly tried to manage her expression.She shot a panicked glance at Lucas, only to see him eyeing her with quiet scrutiny.Awkwardly, Wendy explained, "It’s nothing. I just haven’t seen you for a couple of days. I was surprised. I thought you were mad and decided not to come back..."The moment those words landed, the look in Lucas' eyes turned icy cold.He’d just managed to coax Aurora back—what was Wendy trying to do?Sure enough, when Wendy glanced at him again, she got a glare in return.But she didn’t care. With her childhood bond with Lucas, the one who’d end up pushed aside would be Aurora—the outsider who came in later.She was hoping Aurora would lose her temper and go file for divorce right away.Even

Aurora turned her gaze away. "Don’t you know exactly what I mean? You’re even living with her now, and you still say you don’t know?"Men really were all the same, no matter who they were. Even at a time like this, he was still pretending not to get it.Lucas finally realized that Aurora was talking about Wendy.So that was what had been bothering her all along. No wonder she kept picking fights with him. It turned out that his Rora was jealous.The moment he figured it out, a surge of energy coursed through him. He no longer felt weak and powerless—the fire in his eyes was striking."You really don’t know who my true love is?"Aurora looked at him in shock, only to meet his eyes that seemed to hold a teasing glint.There was a sparkle in his gaze, filled with emotions she couldn’t quite decipher.Aurora parted her lips slightly and asked uncertainly, "Am I supposed to know?"Looking at her adorable expression, Lucas pulled her into his arms even tighter, resting his forehead ag

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
