Chapter 318

Author: Love Berries
The man stood tall, shielding her from all the rumors and gossip.

His presence was so commanding that no one dared to challenge his words.

Aside from her initial flutter of affection, Aurora was beginning to think more seriously—Lucas didn’t seem like someone with a simple background.

With that kind of aura and clarity of thought, could he really be just an ordinary man?

She had always harbored some suspicion, but after what happened today, that doubt only grew stronger.

What was once just a seed of suspicion had now started to take root and sprout.

Lucas’ words silenced every whisper around them.

Even those who still wanted to speak up were stopped short by a single look from him.

His gaze carried a silent threat—one strong enough to keep every mouth shut.

Because of that, no one said another word.

Aurora saved herself a great deal of effort and energy.

The mess with Julian had already wasted enough of her time.

She had no intention of getting dragged into more drama.

  • Dumping My Ex to Flash Marry the Untouchable CEO   Chapter 1150

    Wendy snapped back, “He’s my brother—what does that have to do with you? I can look for him wherever I want. But you, staying here all this time, don’t you feel the least bit ashamed?”“Why should I be ashamed?” Judy laughed in disbelief. “You just said it yourself—this is your brother’s place. So, what if I’m staying here? If he has no problem with it, who are you to say otherwise?”Her words were sharp, leaving Wendy no dignity.Furious, Wendy raised her hand to strike Judy.A cold glint flashed in Judy’s eyes. She wasn’t about to stand there and take the hit.At the last second, Wendy’s wrist was caught in a strong grip, followed by a voice edged with suppressed anger. “What are you doing here?”Both women turned to see Kenneth standing there in a tailored suit, his presence radiating cold authority, his eyes dark as they fixed on Wendy.Wendy flinched, shrinking her neck as she muttered a greeting. “Brother, I came to see you. Mom and Dad asked me to come. I didn’t have a choice.”

    Hearing that, Judy finally felt at ease staying there.She was sketching designs in her room when the door suddenly swung open.Judy turned and saw Wendy standing with her arms crossed, glancing around the room.“Unbelievable. You couldn’t make it back home, so you came overseas to leech off my brother instead?”Judy frowned. “Get out. This is my room.”She had no patience for Wendy.Wendy gave a cold laugh. “Open your eyes. Whose room is this really? This is my brother’s house. You’re only a guest here. Try to remember your place.”Her tone was sharp, and toward someone like Judy, she showed no courtesy at all.Judy sighed. She couldn’t exactly deny Wendy’s words. After all, it was Kenneth’s home, and she was only staying temporarily.But Wendy showing up so suddenly was something Judy hadn’t expected.Kenneth had told her no one would be around at this time. So why was Wendy here?“I may be a guest, but I’ve been upfront with your brother about it.” Judy stood up. “So, barging into

    The room fell silent.Only after Grace’s figure disappeared from sight did the chatter erupt.“Who would’ve thought Madam Grace wasn’t thinking straight.”“Exactly, casting aside the clever daughter and propping up the sickly one.”“If it were me, I’d treasure Aurora like a jewel. With a mind like hers, she could feed my family for generations.”“What a pity. But if someone won’t cherish her, what can be done? After all, she isn’t ours to keep.”The shareholders’ expressions grew darker. Meeting each other’s eyes, they resolved to unite and confront Grace.“Throwing away a diamond and keeping the glass.”Hearing their words, Tessa’s heart burned with resentment.A bunch of old fools—what did they know?Did they really think the company couldn’t run without Aurora?What a joke.She was determined to see for herself if Walton Corporation could survive without her.Tessa followed Grace out of the banquet hall.For a moment, the guests were left confused.What was the point of this banquet

    “Alright, I’ve been missing your cooking too,” Aurora said to Lucas.The two of them, without even realizing it, carried with them the warmth of home.Leonard, standing nearby, suddenly felt a little out of place.He blurted out, “Aurora, have you really thought this through?”Aurora and Lucas both stopped in their tracks, even Megan looked puzzled.The three of them turned to Leonard, leaving him slightly embarrassed.Aurora curved her lips into a smile. “Leonard, what I said up there wasn’t a joke. I meant every word. “From now on, whether you continue working with Walton Corporation or not, that’s entirely your choice. You don’t need to take me into account.”A strange unease stirred in Leonard’s chest. “But… she’s still your mother. You really don’t care anymore?”Aurora’s eyes flickered, unsure how to respond.Megan quickly cut in with a playful exclamation, nudging Leonard. “Oh, come on, don’t bring that up again. What matters is that Aurora’s happy. The rest can wait for later.

    Grace looked at Aurora’s determined expression and grew angry. She gritted her teeth and said, “You’d better think carefully. If you ever want to come back to Walton Corporation, I won’t give you that chance.”“Madam Grace, I understand what you mean.” Aurora gave her word seriously. “In the future, no matter what happens, I won’t come to trouble you.”“Good, very good.” Grace was backed into a corner with no way out.She thought Aurora had finally come to her senses and was willing to listen.She never expected that at such a critical moment, Aurora would deal her a fatal blow.With so many people watching, she couldn’t reject her openly. She was truly trapped.Tessa, however, wasn’t willing to give up such a valuable piece on the board.Since Grace had paved the way for her, following it would surely be the right choice.To keep up the appearance of generosity, Tessa still spoke kindly. “Sister, don’t make trouble. Mother will be hurt.”“Enough.” Aurora let out a cold snort. “Stop

    Her words sent a shockwave through the hall.Megan’s heart leapt—was her best friend about to rise up at last? She’d never seen this side of her before.Grace’s face shifted, the first sign that she finally realized something was wrong. If she couldn’t see it now, she really would be a fool.She snapped in a low, sharp voice, “Aurora Walton, what are you doing? This is a banquet. Everyone is watching. Don’t you dare make a scene.”Tessa’s chest tightened in panic. If Aurora rose now, where would her own dividends come from? All of her plans would crumble to dust.The guests exchanged glances, whispering among themselves. Aurora’s words sparked suspicion in every heart, yet none dared speak it aloud. After all, the three on stage were family—outsiders could only watch.But Aurora ignored her mother’s scolding. Her voice rang out, strong and resolute, echoing through the hall.“Therefore, I formally tender my resignation to Madam Grace. I will no longer work for Walton Corporation.”Wi
