Chapter 25

Penulis: Love Berries
Judy was seething with rage.

She originally assumed Aurora would fall into miserable obscurity after leaving Walton Corporation, yet here Aurora was, appearing radiant and dazzling, her every gesture filled with effortless confidence.

Judy gripped her wine glass so tightly that her nails almost pierced her palm.

"Don't tell me she's latched onto some rich guy," Judy remarked sourly, her voice dripping with scorn and jealousy.

Joseph gave a dismissive snort.

"Her? Other than that pretty face, what else does she have to offer? She's probably nothing more than a high-end social climber who's already been passed around and discarded by those big shots. Anyone with eyes can see right through her."

"Exactly," Judy echoed.

"Who knows what tricks she pulled to sneak into an event like this."

The envy in Judy's eyes was almost tangible.

She expected Aurora to be in dire straits after leaving Walton Corporation.

Yet here Aurora stood, as elegant and radiant as ever.

  • Dumping My Ex to Flash Marry the Untouchable CEO   Chapter 1064

    The owner tossed his phone aside, not giving Joseph a second thought.To him, the man was nothing more than a petty clown—able to jump around for a few days at most before becoming useless.Beyond that, the owner couldn’t think of any other word to describe him.In his eyes, Joseph was just a spoiled heir insisting on making trouble for himself.Instead of enjoying a comfortable life, he had to stir up other nonsense.And for what? It wasn’t as if he’d gotten anything out of it.…Over on Joseph’s side, the fact that the Day Light Restaurant owner had hung up so quickly told him there was definitely something fishy going on.But as for the exact reason, he couldn’t quite put his finger on it.Narrowing his eyes, Joseph tried to recall what had happened in that private room.He remembered Aurora suddenly standing up, telling him over and over to keep his distance.At the time, he hadn’t thought much of it.After all, compared to Judy, he still preferred Aurora’s looks.Both women had th

    He thought back to that day at the Day Light Restaurant—how Aurora had dared treat him that way—and the frustration burned in his chest with nowhere to go.That woman… there was no way he was letting her off the hook.Did she really think being the Walton family’s second heiress gave her the right to do whatever she pleased?Joseph called the owner of Day Light Restaurant, demanding the security footage from that night.But the man shut him down immediately. “Sorry, Mr. Hunt, the cameras happened to be down that day.”“What did you just say?”Joseph sat up straight, his voice rising sharply.“Were they really down, or are you lying to me?”The owner stayed perfectly calm, unfazed by Joseph’s tone.“They were down. I have no reason to lie to you about that.”Leaning back in his chair, he blew out a lazy ring of smoke. “We’re just running a business. What good would it do me to make something like that up?”Joseph paused, grudgingly admitting the man had a point.He switched tactics. “Th

    Given her usual temperament, this banquet probably wouldn’t have even happened.Who knew what Grace had offered her to make her agree this time?Aurora was a little curious, but she also knew some things were better left alone.She understood the saying about curiosity killing the cat.When Jason saw her coming out, he nodded in greeting.Aurora responded with a smile.As they passed each other, she suddenly asked, “Do you know how my mother got Tessa to agree?”Jason stiffened instantly.He quickly waved his hands. “Miss Walton, I don’t know anything. I’m just an employee. You’re putting me in a difficult spot.”Aurora gave a soft laugh. “What are you so afraid of? I only asked a simple question. I never said what it was about. Are you confessing to something on your own?”Jason flinched, unable to meet her gaze.With just a few well-placed words, Aurora could draw out exactly what she needed.And she hadn’t even said much.Realizing that, the weight on his chest eased a little.His e

    After all, she had to remember—she and Grace were still mother and daughter.It was a bond that couldn’t be cut, no matter how tangled it became.There was no need to make things unbearably awkward.Seeing Aurora’s mood calm considerably, Grace’s own tone softened. “This weekend, I’ve decided to hold a banquet.”“To officially announce you taking over the company, and to announce the termination of any future cooperation with the Hayes family.”Aurora was caught off guard. “Why so sudden?”Grace took a sip of tea, composed and steady. “I’ve already decided to hand the company over to you, and I’ve given you notice before. So, I don’t think it’s sudden—it’s just that you haven’t prepared yourself.”Aurora asked, a note of doubt in her voice, “Have you told Tessa…?”In front of Grace, Aurora still gave Tessa that much courtesy.Seeing this, Grace didn’t press the point. “It’s fine. She knows.”She understood what Aurora meant. “Don’t worry. Since I’ve made this decision, I have my reaso

    Even now, Grace was still separating the Hayes family from Julian, as if the rest of them bore no responsibility.So, what was the point of that?Aurora’s lips curved faintly. “So, you think Julian wasn’t shaped by the Hayes family? If a son goes astray, the father bears the blame. Are you really saying that old man had nothing to do with it?”Grace was momentarily at a loss for words.In the end, she simply gave up the argument. “Say whatever you want. I just can’t go back on my word. That’s something I’m not willing to do.”Aurora found it almost laughable.But she also knew that once her mother made a decision, she would never change it easily.There was no point in pushing further and only irritating her.Why put herself in a position where she would end up pleasing no one?“Since you’ve already made up your mind, there’s no point in me saying any more.”She rose to her feet. “Madam Grace, next time something like this comes up, you don’t need to consult me. Just make the decision

    Aurora didn’t believe for a second that, with all the evidence laid out like this, Grace could still doubt her.At last, Grace closed the file and looked at her with genuine satisfaction. “You’ve done a great job on this report. I’ve gone through it, and there’s indeed nothing wrong with it.”A spark of joy lit in Aurora’s chest, her tone carrying a rare note of excitement. “Then, Madam Grace, what do you think?”Placing the file back on the table, Grace met her eyes seriously. “Ending the partnership is, of course, not a problem. But…”Aurora’s smile hadn’t even fully formed before that “but” landed.Her expression tightened slightly, unsure what her mother meant.“But what?”She found it almost laughable. Surely Grace wasn’t still thinking about protecting the Hayes family, was she?If that was truly the case, then there was no point in continuing the conversation.With something this blatant right in front of her, if Grace still didn’t believe it, then no matter what she did in the
