작가: Love Berries
The assistant on the other end was polite and quickly got to the point: "Hello, on behalf of Mr. Warren, we’d like to offer you a chance. Our two companies can meet tomorrow."

Aurora was stunned when she read the message.

What was going on?

Just a while ago, David had made it clear there wasn’t the slightest hope for cooperation.

Why the sudden change?

Unable to hold back, Aurora asked the assistant about it directly.

But the other party was professional and didn’t reveal Desmond’s involvement.

"Mr. Warren was moved by your sincerity, Miss Walton. Considering the years of business relations, he has decided to give Walton Corporation another chance. We hope Walton won't let him down."

Reading the message, Aurora finally relaxed. The tight knot between her brows began to ease, and the heavy weight that had been sitting on her chest the past few days started to lift.

She sent back a simple "Thank you" and turned off her phone.

Now, she was looking forward to tomorrow.

She understood very

  • Dumping My Ex to Flash Marry the Untouchable CEO   Chapter 648

    Tessa’s voice paused briefly before she chuckled softly. “Isn’t that what you always taught us, Mom?”Grace fell silent.Maybe it was time she reconsidered how she viewed this daughter of hers.“What do you want me to do?”She wasn’t naïve. If Tessa had gone this far, she clearly wanted something.Otherwise, she wouldn’t be taking the time to circle around the topic with such care.Only now did Grace realize—perhaps her eldest daughter wasn’t as simple as she’d always assumed.The question wasn’t just to clarify Tessa’s intent; it was to see what other surprises she might be hiding.And in a way, it was also a test—a chance to see how capable she truly was.Besides, this was the first time in a long while Tessa had shown such initiative, and Grace found herself unexpectedly intrigued.Hearing her mother’s question, Tessa knew things were about to go her way.If she could get this far, the rest would unfold with much less resistance.She understood Grace well.The moment her interest

    After all this time, she could pretty much read her mother’s thoughts like an open book.“Mom, I know what you’re worried about,” Tessa coaxed gently. “It’s just like what happened with Joseph, isn’t it? Have you forgotten how he tricked Aurora back then?“In the end, he even made her account for every cent she spent. Every little expense had to be justified.”Tessa clicked her tongue, shaking her head with a mix of disbelief and disdain. “Honestly, even talking about it now feels humiliating. It was just so disgraceful.”“Enough.”Grace snapped, unable to hold back her anger.Tessa immediately fell silent.She knew her mother wasn’t angry with her, but with Joseph.Everything about that man had already been laid bare.He was nothing more than a spineless opportunist, and not even a competent one.Rumor had it he’d been holed up at Hunt Enterprises, trying to manage something new, and hadn’t been seen at any social events in quite a while.The elite circles of Ravenshore were abuzz w

    Tessa began recounting everything that had happened at the hospital to Grace—down to the director’s deferential attitude toward Lucas and the arrogance he carried himself with.All of it, in her mind, was mounting evidence that he had been deceiving Aurora from the very start.She couldn’t say for sure whether Aurora knew any of it.But what struck her was that Lucas had never once mentioned anything about coming from a wealthy family.In fact, she’d never even heard of what his family did.That alone made Tessa suspicious.The more she thought about it, the more excited she became.Could it be that she’d stumbled upon Lucas’ secret?She remembered how smug and overconfident he always seemed.But now, with something to use against him, she finally had leverage.Something he wouldn’t want exposed.“This hospital is one of the best in Millford, Mom. You really ought to think about what that means,” she said, her voice calm but pointed.“Lucas is hiding something. Why else would the direc

    She cleared her throat and finally began repeating the words she had carefully prepared.“Mom, don’t be upset. It’s not that I don’t want to tell you; it’s just that I didn’t know how to start.”Grace immediately sat up straighter, her back rigid, and her tone now tight with barely restrained frustration.What was wrong with Tessa?All this time and still not a single coherent sentence?Grace had completely run out of patience. “If you’re not going to speak, I’m hanging up.”“Wait, Mom!”Tessa quickly jumped in, watching her timing. “Mom, I was so worried about Aurora, and I didn’t know what else to do. That’s why I slipped out and came overseas without telling anyone.”Grace latched onto the inconsistency in her words. “And how exactly did you know what country she’s in?”Tessa’s heart skipped a beat.Of course, Grace would catch that.She was sharp as ever, quick to pick up the flaw, and even quicker to throw it back.But Tessa didn’t panic. She shifted gears smoothly.“Mom, with h

    This wasn’t like her at all. It was not like the Tessa Grace knew.Grace sighed. No matter what, this was the child she had doted on since she was little.How could she not feel a soft spot?So, when she picked up the call, her tone was gentle. “What is it, sweetheart?”But Tessa’s voice wavered with hesitation. “Mom, I heard… about Aurora.”Grace’s heart skipped a beat, but she forced herself to stay composed. “Who told you that?”She hadn’t mentioned anything to Tessa, so how had she found out?And why bring it up now, acting so deliberately?Something felt off.Still, Grace held back her doubts and waited patiently for Tessa to continue.But Tessa hesitated again. “Mom, never mind how I found out. The point is, I know something now.”“What is it?”Grace tensed at her tone, her nerves tightening with every pause.She wasn’t young anymore. Being dragged through this back and forth was wearing on her patience.It felt like Tessa was doing it on purpose, dangling words without saying

    It was just an injection.It wasn’t anything tough.They’d handled worse.This time, the only difference was the location. They were abroad now.Still, Tessa could see the unease lingering on Julian’s face.She knew, of course, that pulling something like this off wasn’t easy.And if they got caught, it would be humiliating and even disastrous.To help ease his nerves, Tessa took him back to the hotel and insisted he rest.“Alright, what you need to do now is relax. We’ll go back to the hospital together tonight.”Julian nodded. “I’m fine. Don’t worry, I won’t let you down.”Tessa was in full encouragement mode now.Every time Julian started to waver, she’d boost him right back up.The hours flew by, and soon night fell.But as darkness settled in, Julian’s nerves kicked in again.He didn’t know why.It had felt manageable earlier in the day.Now? His palms were sweaty, his heart racing.The thought of being caught filled him with dread.And yet, Tessa looked calm and even confident.
