Chapter 224

Author: Love Berries
She remembered Lucas once mentioning that his company mainly dealt with advertising.

Now, watching Aurora press for answers, Lucas found himself at a loss for words.

He could only press his lips into a thin line, his expression turning distant.

"I’m just here for business. If you don’t want to believe that, there’s nothing I can do."

His words left Aurora momentarily stunned.

He wasn’t like this before. Since when did he become so cold?

What she didn’t know was that Lucas simply didn’t know what to say.

Running into Aurora at his own company, while still trying to keep up the lie, left him feeling uneasy.

The guilt crept in fast, especially under her sharp, questioning gaze, he grew even more unsure of himself.

The more he said, the more he risked exposing something and he couldn’t afford that.

Aurora frowned, suppressing her growing frustration. "But I remember you saying your company doesn’t work much with Vanguard. So, showing up here today…"

She didn’t finish the sentence. She simp

  • Dumping My Ex to Flash Marry the Untouchable CEO   Chapter 1794

    Arnold looked at Grace, unsure what else he could possibly say.A part of him even wondered if he had gone too far. After all, he was only a housekeeper.Grace, on the other hand, was the head of the household.She had the authority here, and these were matters he shouldn’t have been the one to bring up.A flicker of fear crept into his chest.Had he crossed a line?“Madam Grace, you really don’t need to say all this to me.”He spoke earnestly. “I only felt Miss Aurora had suffered too much, so I wanted to speak up for her. But you’re right, no matter what, you’re her mother. I shouldn’t interfere too much in the things between you two.”“That’s not true.”Grace immediately refuted him. “What you said made perfect sense. You told me out of good intention. I shouldn’t take it to heart.”She let out a tired sigh. “Tell me, who else do I have around me now? If even you refuse to speak honestly to me, who am I supposed to rely on?”Hearing that, Arnold couldn’t help agreeing.For a moment,

  • Dumping My Ex to Flash Marry the Untouchable CEO   Chapter 1793

    Arnold lifted his head in surprise, not expecting Grace to truly take his words to heart.He had assumed she wouldn’t care about his thoughts at all.After all, she was the one running this household, and she managed a massive corporation with both the authority and capability to back it up.The things he said today had been bold, even rude. Many of the words he’d spoken had slipped out before he could think them through.It felt satisfying in the moment, but afterward, regret settled in.He knew he had crossed the line, yet Grace hadn’t held any of it against him.She hadn’t scolded him, nor had she pressured him.Realizing this, Arnold felt genuinely moved.He understood Grace had spared him out of consideration for Aurora, and he intended to appreciate that grace.“Don’t worry. From now on, I won’t say things like that again.”His face grew solemn. “I spoke out today only because I couldn’t bear what I saw. I know my behavior was inappropriate.“Rest assured, I’ll be more mindful of

    Arnold’s tears trailed down from the corners of his eyes.“Madam Grace, Miss Aurora has suffered enough. She grew up without a mother’s love.”He let out another heavy sigh. “And in the end, her own mother poured all that affection on someone else’s child. Tell me, how could Miss Aurora not feel wronged?”Grace fell silent at those words.Her mind drifted back to the photos Arnold had found—Tessa standing beside her biological father, the two of them looking perfectly at ease together.Grace didn’t know what to feel. Her whole life seemed trapped in regret, guilt, and memories.And she had let herself be deceived time and time again, foolishly trusting everything Tessa said.Realizing that, she felt ashamed at how ridiculous she had been.Seeing her expression, Arnold’s own heart grew heavy.“Madam Grace, I never meant to blame you. I only hoped you would finally do some reflection.“You do care about Miss Aurora. You simply expressed that love in the wrong way.”He recalled the last t

    He never said anything unnecessary and did anything out of line.He kept every part of the household running flawlessly.Because of that, Grace relied heavily on Arnold.She always felt the stability of the household owed a great deal to him.Working with him had always been effortless.All these years, it had never even occurred to her to replace him. Maybe that was precisely why Arnold now dared to speak to her like this; her long-standing trust had slowly turned into the confidence that he could say anything.She had indulged him far too much, letting him forget the difference between employer and employee.If she had known it would come to this, she would have been stricter from the start, so he’d understand what respect truly meant.Now Grace finally snapped.“I think you’re trying to rebel. Do you even hear what you’re saying?”“I’m saying this because I’ve been in this house for so many years. I know exactly what kind of person you are.”Arnold showed not the slightest hint of f

    “Then tell me, are you planning to drag Miss Aurora down with you for the rest of her life?”Grace froze, unable to grasp his meaning.“What are you talking about? Why would I drag her down?”She truly didn’t understand what Arnold was trying to say.Aurora was her daughter. Why wouldn’t she stay connected to her own child?Was he implying she and Aurora should cut ties and never speak again?Grace found the idea ridiculous.She would never sever ties with her own daughter.Now that she finally knew Tessa’s true colors, she valued Aurora even more. Aurora had always treated her with genuine sincerity.She still knew right from wrong, and she knew who had stood by her.How could she ever choose Tessa over Aurora again?Arnold felt a dull ache in his chest at her response.Some truths needed to be spoken, even if they hurt.And what he was about to say wasn’t polite, but it had to be said.He drew in a steady breath.“Do you not realize how terrible your behavior has been?”“What do you

    But Grace only shook her head helplessly. She finally covered her face, and tears spilled through her fingers in heavy drops.“I was wrong… I was so unbelievably wrong. I failed Aurora.”Hearing that, Arnold immediately understood what she meant.It seemed she had finally realized her mistake. She truly had owed Aurora far too much, and Arnold allowed himself a small, fragile hope.After everything that happened, maybe Grace would finally see who really cared for her.“Madam Grace, you’ve truly thought this through.”There was emotion in Arnold’s voice as he spoke.If Grace had really awakened this time, then Aurora might finally see an end to all her suffering.Grace nodded earnestly.“I truly understand my mistake. I went too far. I owe Aurora so much. I see now where the problem was. I was stubborn and blind before.”“Madam Grace, do you mean every word of that?”Even Arnold’s voice wavered, thick with emotion.He never thought he would live to see this day. He had always feared Aur
