Chapter 237

Author: Love Berries
How on earth had Aurora managed to get John to attend this banquet?

All around the room, people cast looks of admiration and quiet curiosity her way.

Even Grace was a little surprised.

She’d assumed that project had been rejected, and Aurora would eventually let it go.

But clearly, Aurora hadn’t given up at all.

Instead, she had gone behind the scenes and reached out directly to the director of an international firm.

Grace narrowed her eyes slightly, her gaze softening with admiration.

So that was it—her daughter hadn’t abandoned the project.

She was simply waiting for the right moment to prove herself.

Even if the world didn’t believe in her, Grace did.

And now, she understood something else too—once her daughter set her sights on something, she wasn’t the type to let go easily.

Even if the odds were slim, Aurora would still hold on tightly to that sliver of hope.

That thought alone put Grace at ease.

As long as her daughter had drive and ambition, that was enough.

    After Aurora left, she didn’t dwell on it too much.Lucas had given a perfectly reasonable explanation, so overthinking it now wouldn’t do her any good.Meanwhile, the project coordinator, who had been called in by Desmond to defuse the situation, couldn’t help but look at Aurora a little differently now.He had originally assumed she was just a standard project manager, nothing out of the ordinary.But now, he wasn’t so sure.Why else would someone like Desmond, the executive assistant to the CEO—a man he barely saw once or twice a year—personally call him to intercept her?And not just that. The call had been urgent, with one clear instruction: get Aurora out of there and bring her back, fast.And when he’d arrived, he’d caught a glimpse of their CEO himself.That alone had made his heart skip a beat.A quiet theory began to take shape in the back of his mind.Noticing how the coordinator kept sneaking glances at her, Aurora finally spoke up, half teasing, half confused. “Is there s

    Aurora stood frozen, watching Lucas speak with such sincerity that she almost started doubting herself.Was it really just as he said?She couldn’t come up with any other explanation, and the fire of suspicion burning in her chest began to dim.Her voice softened, though still cautious. “Are you really telling the truth?”Lucas stepped closer, his gaze warm, his voice gentle. “Of course, I am.”That was enough to sway her.Maybe he really was just here for a project meeting.Seeing her shoulders relax, Lucas let out a quiet breath of relief.But just as he was about to fully exhale, Aurora threw in another curveball.“Still, every time I come here for a project update, I always happen to run into you. Isn’t that too much of a coincidence?”The words hit him squarely, and for a moment, Lucas had no idea how to respond.But facing her earnest gaze, he forced his mind to work fast.“Vanguard has a fixed schedule for meeting with partners,” he said, thinking quickly.Aurora raised an eyebr

    A round of applause broke out in response to her words.The way everyone looked at Aurora shifted. There was admiration in their eyes now, clear and unmistakable. Young as she was, she knew how to speak, how to carry herself, and that wasn’t all.She was sharp, capable, poised. Add to that her striking looks and calm, decisive presence, and it wasn’t hard to see why people wanted to work with her.It wasn’t just respect—they genuinely liked her. Working with someone like Aurora was something they welcomed.Once the meeting wrapped up, Aurora stepped out to the break room to grab a glass of water. But just as she entered, she caught sight of a group clustered around Lucas.He walked at the center, composed and cold in a tailored suit, not a trace of emotion on his face. If anything, the way he carried himself made him seem even more distant—aloof and untouchable.Aurora frowned.She’d seen him earlier and assumed he was here for a simple business discussion. But now, seeing how

    Aurora didn’t want any issues surfacing at the office while she was out. If Tessa made any new moves, she needed to know about it immediately. After all, Tessa’s ambition was no longer a secret—it was practically written all over her face.Ian understood exactly what she meant and gave an enthusiastic promise. “Don’t worry, Miss Walton. Go with peace of mind. I’ll keep things running smoothly here. Not a single thing will go wrong.”To seal the vow, Ian even gave a dramatic, mock-serious salute.Aurora couldn’t help but laugh. “Alright, knock it off. I’m not disappearing for a week—I’ll be back this afternoon.”After wrapping up the rest of her instructions, she grabbed her things and headed out. With her assistant holding down the fort, she felt reassured.After lunch, Aurora made her way to Vanguard Group with the latest project documents in hand.Staring up at the sleek high-rise in front of her, she couldn’t help but feel a familiar twinge of awe. How long would it take before

    She’d even forgotten to head to the guest room…Which led to the scene playing out now.Lucas glanced at Aurora, noting how her expression shifted like a color palette in motion. A teasing glint flashed through his eyes.“Looks like you’ve figured it out,” he said in a low voice, laced with amusement.Aurora avoided his gaze. “No… Let’s not talk about it. I need to get to work.”Realizing it was her own blunder that led to this awkward situation only made it worse. She just wanted to get out of there fast.Lucas watched her flustered reaction, and the mischief in his eyes deepened.So, she remembered everything after all.If she didn’t, there’s no way she’d be acting like this.With that thought in mind, he didn’t press further. Instead, he let her go, figuring she could use the space to calm down.There would be other chances—plenty of them.There was no need to rush.By the time Aurora stepped out the door, the heat in her cheeks had finally begun to fade.She drew in a long breat

    But Lucas stood his ground. “I don’t believe you.”“What is there not to believe?” Aurora frowned, her brows drawing together. She couldn’t believe Lucas was actually being this childish.He met her gaze, dead serious. “Unless you kiss me.”Aurora’s eyes widened, completely stunned that such a ridiculous line had just come out of Lucas' mouth.Was this really the same man she knew?“You… you’re serious?”Lucas looked into her startled eyes. Was she embarrassed? Maybe. But with her so close, the temptation was too strong to resist, and if it meant getting what he wanted, he wasn’t above playing a little dirty.He nodded solemnly. “Dead serious.”To prove his point, he even leaned in slightly, presenting his perfectly chiseled face with the solemnity of a man making a life-or-death request.Aurora felt the pressure of his hand around her wrist. Resigned, she gave in and pressed a quick, messy kiss to the corner of his lips without even looking.“There. Happy? Now let me go, I need t

    "You…"Wendy had wanted to say more, but the moment her eyes met Lucas’ cold, unyielding expression, the words died in her throat.She knew he meant it. He was fully capable of following through on that threat.Whatever footing she once had here was gone. These days, Lucas only tolerated her because of her brother.Things between them weren’t what they used to be.It was exactly because she understood that, that Wendy chose to back down.“I get it. I won’t do it again,” she murmured, lowering her head.She had no choice but to retreat for now. This was still Ravenshore. If she caused a scene, her brother would never let her hear the end of it.Lucas let out a cold snort. “This is your last warning.”With that, he turned and headed back to the bedroom.Wendy stared at the mess left on the table. Her thoughts drifted to the wager she’d made with her brother and her hands slowly curled into fists.She wasn’t going to lose. She couldn’t afford to.Taking a deep breath, Wendy narrowed h

    Even so, Aurora merely raised an eyebrow without saying a word.A part of her still had doubts—were these two putting on a show for her?But she didn’t call them out. She simply sat there, watching them trade words, silent and unreadable.Lucas glanced at her expression, that slight, amused curve of her lips, and suddenly felt unsure of himself.Even Wendy was thrown off. What was wrong with her today? Why wasn’t she reacting?She had been blatantly provoking her, and yet Aurora remained calm as ever?But Aurora acted like none of it mattered, quietly enjoying the mille-feuille pancake in front of her.Wendy asked hesitantly, “Aurora, you’re not saying anything… does that mean you agree with me?”Lucas shot her a warning look. He’d finally seen through Wendy lately—how restless she’d become.He had already warned her once, and yet she clearly hadn’t learned her lesson.Nervously, he turned back to Aurora, afraid she might be upset by Wendy’s words.“Rora, Wendy just talks without th

    In an instant, her mood soured.So, Aurora was definitely on her way back—Lucas’ expression had already said it all.Wendy clenched her fists, a surge of frustration bubbling in her chest."Aurora Walton, you damn bitch. If you didn’t want to come back in the first place, then why return now? What’s the point? Do you think it’s fun to toy with people like this?"The curve of Lucas’s lips felt like a knife to Wendy’s eyes.She couldn’t understand him—after being strung along like that, how could he still look so happy?Lucas glanced at her, and clarity struck. Without hesitation, he said, “Go out for a bit tonight.”The words hit her like a thunderclap.Wendy pointed at herself, stunned. “Are you kicking me out?”Her voice cracked, thick with disbelief and hurt.After knowing him for so long, Lucas was really throwing her out over someone else?Just the thought of it made her chest tighten. She could barely breathe.Lucas frowned. “You’re an adult. You should have your own life, not sp
