Chapter 279

Penulis: Love Berries
Tessa let out a soft chuckle. “Now that’s more like it. You really are a straightforward man, Joseph.

“It’s nothing much, really. I just wanted to let you know that Aurora’s doing incredibly well these days. Her career’s taken off, and the money’s rolling in faster than ever.”

“What’s that supposed to mean?”

Joseph had been lazily sprawled out on his bed, but the moment he heard those words, he shot upright.

His eyes lit up.

“Exactly what it sounds like,” Tessa replied, clearly amused.

“What’s the matter? Didn’t you know your ex is practically printing money these days?

“Don’t tell me she kept all of that from you—her background, her skills? Hiding everything from the man she was supposedly in love with? Tsk, tsk…”

She spoke slowly, deliberately, each word hitting its mark.

With every sentence, Joseph’s fingers curled tighter into fists, his chest rising and falling with sharp breaths.

So, she really had kept things from him.

The woman who stood quietly at his side had been hiding

    "Oh? Is that so? Then I’d love to see exactly how you plan to make her suffer."Lucas' voice came from the doorway—calm, cold, and unmistakably serious.Neither Aurora nor Wendy had noticed him arrive, but judging by the look on his face, he had heard everything.They both turned toward him, startled.Wendy was the first to react. She rushed over to him, flustered and desperate to explain.“Lukey, it’s not what you think! I was just joking with her, really, it was all a joke!”Aurora rose to her feet, folding her arms as she looked at Wendy with thinly veiled amusement. “Oh? Since we’re joking, maybe I should joke back with you. What do you think?”Wendy’s smile faltered, her face stiff with awkwardness. “Aurora, what are you saying? I don’t understand what you mean. I really was just teasing you just now. Please don’t take it seriously.”Then she turned back to Lucas, voice even more frantic. “I swear, Lukey, you have to believe me. I wasn’t trying to cause trouble. I didn’t mean a

    She had known Lucas for so long, and yet she was nothing to him.It was clearly Aurora, this outsider, who came between them.So, how could she have the nerve to stand there acting so self-righteous?“I just wanted to see what kind of spell you’ve put on Lukey,” Wendy said coldly.Aurora raised a brow, finding the comment more amusing than offensive. “Oh? So now that Lucas isn’t home, you’re finally done pretending, is that it?”Wendy’s jaw clenched at Aurora’s nonchalance. Her heart was already brimming with bitterness and fury.“You bitch! Why does he care about you so much? What do you have that I don’t?”Aurora crossed her arms, her tone languid, as if Wendy’s rage barely registered.“Simple. I’m his wife. You’re just the so-called ‘childhood friend' he’s mentioned in passing. There’s nothing between you, and there never will be.”Then she gave Wendy a slow, disdainful once-over.“As for you…” Her voice was calm, but biting. “You might want to look in the mirror sometime. At least

    In the past, she had always held back for the sake of her mother’s pride, telling herself to give in a little more.But now she saw it clearly. Endless tolerance didn’t change anything. It didn’t change her mother’s stance, nor her so-called sister’s opinion of her.Since that was the case, Aurora figured it was time to stop playing nice. She wanted to see just what other tricks her good sister had up her sleeve.Did she really think that man was such a prize? That anyone would be desperate to have Julian?Aurora’s lips curved slowly into a colder smile. How could she forget him?She had only kept her silence before to protect Tessa’s reputation. But looking at it now, everything followed a pattern—it had been building all along.So why keep holding back?Might as well wipe the slate clean in one decisive move.As she stared at the viral video on her screen, the fire in her chest burned hotter and brighter.She hadn’t provoked any of them, so why did they keep coming for her, one afte

    “Madam Grace, you really are a master of burning bridges,” Aurora said with a cold laugh. “All this time, whatever you asked of me, I did it. I never once pushed back. And now, this is what I get in return? "You’re a Walton too. Don’t forget that.”Grace couldn’t help but snap back. “If the company thrives, that benefits you too.“Don’t make it sound like I’ve done everything purely for Walton Corporation. Let’s be honest, you think I’m only doing this for myself.”That was the final blow. Aurora looked at her mother, utterly disillusioned.She had never imagined that all her hard work, her devotion to the company, would be twisted into selfish ambition.“Mother, do you really mean what you just said?”She deliberately switched back to calling her “Mother,” hoping it would snap her out of it.But Grace didn’t even flinch.She had hesitated for a moment when she looked at Aurora’s face—there was a flicker of doubt—but whatever crossed her mind hardened her again.“I’m giving you three

    As she walked out, the image of Grace slamming her phone down was still vivid in the assistant’s mind. Just thinking about it left him uneasy.But he couldn’t tell Aurora any of this.What if she refused to go see Grace? Then he’d be the one in trouble.With that in mind, the assistant’s smile toward her grew even more ingratiating.Aurora narrowed her eyes slightly. Something felt off, but she didn’t press it. After all, this was her mother. What could really be wrong?That thought made her pick up the pace, eventually walking so fast she left the assistant trailing behind.He didn’t say a word, just smiled even wider.“Well then, Ms. Walton, I’ve passed the message. I’ll leave you to find the chairwoman yourself.”Aurora nodded. “Sure, I know where her office is. No need to walk me.”“That’s what I was hoping you’d say,” the assistant muttered under his breath, then bolted away like he’d just been released from duty.Aurora found it odd, but didn’t dwell on it.Maybe he really was

    No matter how much she wanted to say, Grace couldn’t bring herself to continue after seeing the genuine concern in her daughter’s eyes.“It’s nothing. As for his background, don’t go digging into it. Just focus on living well with Julian.”Her mind drifted back to the banquet. Everything felt like a tangled mess.Between her two daughters, things were starting to slip out of her control—faster than she had expected.Seeing that Grace wasn’t willing to talk further, Tessa tactfully stepped away, closing the study door behind her and leaving her mother alone inside.The moment she stepped out, the smile on her face vanished.She took a moment to collect her thoughts. It seemed Grace didn’t know who Lucas really was either.So that meant he might not be someone with a clear, traceable background?No, Tessa sat upright in realization. She couldn’t jump to conclusions so quickly.After all, the aura that man carried was real. Even Grace’s unease around him hadn’t been an act.It meant Lucas

    As for Grace, Tessa planned to test the waters and see where she stood....When Grace got off work, Tessa showed up right on cue, carrying a bowl of soup.“Mother, are you in there?”Grace, hearing the voice, took off her long-chained reading glasses. “Mm, come in.”Looking up, she saw Tessa walking in gracefully with a warm smile on her face, holding a steaming bowl.“Mom, you’ve been working so hard lately, especially after everything that happened at the banquet. I made some soup to help you recover.”Grace glanced at the milky white soup—it was clear it had been simmered for quite some time.Seeing that, a hint of warmth softened her eyes.“You really put thought into this.”She took the bowl and tasted a spoonful, nodding in approval. “It’s very good. The flavor is rich.”Tessa moved behind her and began massaging her shoulders. “As long as you like it, I can make it more often.”“No need. That’s what the housekeeper is for. Once in a while is more than enough.”Just as Tessa was

    Aurora shot Lucas a glare. "What was that? You could’ve at least given me a heads-up."Lucas chuckled. "Who gives a heads-up before kissing someone?"Wouldn’t that just ruin the mood?Aurora huffed and turned her back to him, focusing on her meal.Lucas tried to coax her a few times, but she didn’t budge.Still, the corners of his mouth stayed lifted the entire time.He could tell that this time, Aurora really wasn’t mad at him anymore.Otherwise, she wouldn’t be acting like this.The thought alone lifted his mood.As they ate, he reached over and placed another piece of food on her plate.Aurora didn’t refuse. She simply picked it up and ate it.That one small action made Lucas feel an overwhelming sense of triumph. He looked at her with even more affection, unable to hold back, and leaned in to place a soft, feathery kiss on her cheek.Aurora didn’t pull away.The air around them seemed to fill with pink bubbles, light and sweet.Lucas was now certain that Aurora wasn’t angry anymor

    But she didn’t know how to explain all of this to anyone, not even to her mother.Looking at the dishes on the table, Aurora was overwhelmed with sorrow. Her eyes reddened.She had worked so hard—wasn’t it all for Walton Corporation?And yet, her mother and those executives had never truly understood her.The thought struck her as absurd. She found herself laughing bitterly.She held Lucas’ hand and shared so many things she had kept to herself.Watching her, Lucas couldn’t help but feel moved. How long had it been since they sat like this together?Too long, wasn’t it?Ever since Wendy came into the picture, they had to tread carefully even in their own home.Lucas knew this couldn’t go on, but Kenneth had refused to answer any calls. That wasn’t a solution either.He sat up straight, looked at her seriously, and promised, “Rora, don’t worry. I’ll make sure Wendy moves out in a few days.“It was careless of me. This was my fault.”Seeing Lucas so sincere and willing to admit his mist
