Auroraโs heartbeat quickened even more, and her face burned as if it were on fire. She turned away, lowering her voice. "Itโs really nothing, just a small injury." "Small injury?" Lucasโ one carried a trace of restrained anger. "Your face is this swollen, and youโre still calling it โjust a small injuryโ? Tell me exactly what happened." Left with no choice, Aurora recounted everything that had happened at the company. As Lucas listened, his expression grew darker, his aura turning ice-cold. Without hesitation, he pulled out his phone and called his assistant. "Look into a man named Chuck Mills." His voice was sharp, authoritative, completely different from his usual calm and composed demeanor. Aurora watched him, her emotions tangled. "Lucasโฆ" She tugged lightly at his sleeve before sighing and shaking her head. Her voice carried a hint of exhaustion. "Let it go. Thereโs no need to stir up more trouble. Iโm fine, I didnโt really suffer any losses." She didnโt wan

Outside the RestaurantJoseph stood with his usual air of nonchalance, his gaze lazily sweeping over Aurora Walton.A smirk tugged at the corner of his lips, playful yet mocking.One arm wrapped around Judyโs waist, while his other hand idly flicked a lighter, the small flame briefly illuminating his fingers before vanishing. His entire demeanor exuded a careless arrogance, as if nothing in the world could truly hold his interest.However, when his gaze landed on the man sitting across from Aurora, something in his expression shifted.A flicker of intrigue flashed in his eyes.He couldnโt see the manโs face, only a broad back and a composed posture.But that upright stance, coupled with the sheer presence emanating from him, was enough to make Joseph pause.Whoever this man was, he was no ordinary figure.Judy followed Josephโs line of sight and quickly took notice of the man sitting across from Aurora.Though she could only see his back, an unsettling feeling crept into her chest.Th

Inside the restaurant, Aurora and Lucasโ dinner remained undisturbed by the commotion outside. "What are your thoughts on Vanguard Groupโs hot spring resort project?" Lucas asked casually, elegantly slicing his steak. Aurora set down her fork, her expression turning serious. "Vanguard Group plans to develop a high-end hot spring resort that combines wellness, leisure, and entertainment. โIโve drafted an initial concept that integrates modern architectural design with natural landscapes to create a space thatโs both contemporary and Zen-inspired." Lucas raised an intrigued eyebrow. "Oh? Letโs hear it." Aurora retrieved her tablet from her bag, pulled up her design proposal, and handed it to him while explaining her vision in detail. Lucas skimmed through the concept as he listened to her analysis, his gaze filled with admiration. He had to admit that Auroraโs design philosophy was unique, and more importantly, it held strong commercial potential. "Your concept is creativ

Aurora unfastened her seatbelt and pushed open the car door. A wave of heat rushed in, carrying the bustling noise of the city, starkly contrasting with the quiet, air-conditioned space inside the car. She squinted slightly, adjusting to the harsh sunlight before stepping out. The crisp sound of her heels tapping against the pavement echoed as she straightened herself. Turning back, the wind gently lifted strands of her dark hair, revealing the delicate curve of her fair neck. She met Lucasโ gaze, her lips curling into a faint, appreciative smile. "Thank you." Lucas watched her, his deep eyes following her every movement until she disappeared into the building. Only then did he restart the engine, his sleek black Maybach merging smoothly into the steady flow of traffic. Inside Walton Corporation, the blast of cool air from the lobbyโs air conditioning offered instant relief. Aurora adjusted her outfit slightly before heading straight toward Graceโs office. Stoppin

In the meeting roomAurora Waltonโs proposal moved away from the conventional, repetitive spa retreat designs. Instead, she blended the lush, tropical ambiance of Caribbean resorts with the sleek elegance of Scandinavian minimalism.Each section of the wellness resort featured a unique themeโ"Celestial Springs," "Woodland Retreat," and "Botanical Haven"โcreating a diverse and immersive experience for guests.She introduced interactive elements, such as hot spring yoga and water parks, making the resort more engaging for visitors.The SPA partnership plan was equally refreshingโno longer limited to domestic brands, her proposal included collaborations with renowned international wellness brands, elevating the resortโs luxury and appeal.For dining, she went beyond traditional health-focused cuisine, incorporating local specialty dishes, ensuring a wider variety of options to cater to different tastes.The accommodation area was also upgraded with smart technologyโeach room would be equi

"Mr. Josephโฆ Iโฆ I really didnโt expect that girl toโฆ" Chuck swallowed hard, his voice shaking. "Sheโฆ sheโs nothing like she was when she first joined the company!" "Nothing like before? What do you mean? Spit it out!" Joseph cut him off impatiently, his tone dripping with disdain. "Didnโt you tell me before that you had her wrapped around your finger? Now you canโt even handle one woman? What the hell do I need you for?" Chuck felt his stomach churn. His hands trembled as he tried to explain. "Joseph, sheโฆ sheโs different now. Iโฆ Iโm no match for her at all." He then exaggerated the events of that morning, emphasizing how Aurora had effortlessly flipped him over her shoulder and completely humiliated him in front of the entire office. "Over-the-shoulder throw?" Josephโs voice carried a hint of disbelief. "A grown man like you got thrown by a woman?" He sounded as if he had just heard the most ridiculous joke of his life, his words laced with mockery. "Chuck, y

Lucasโ deep voice came through the receiver, laced with a hint of exhaustion and a faint smile. Aurora paused, glancing at the time in the corner of her screen. "Arenโt you busy today? How do you have time to pick me up?" She clicked open another document, her eyes scanning through its contents. "I planned this ahead of time," Lucas said, his voice softening. "There are too many shady people around lately. I donโt feel safe letting you go home alone." A subtle warmth rose in Auroraโs chest. She absentmindedly touched her earlobe, the corners of her lips curving up. "I need to work a little longer. This report is due tomorrow." "Then Iโll come up and keep you company." Before she could stop him, the call ended. "Waitโ" Aurora tried to protest, but the line had already gone dead. She stared at her phone for a moment before instinctively scanning the office. Even though it was after hours, a few coworkers were still at their desks, finishing up their work. If

Aurora took the piece of bread from Lucas and took a small bite. The warm, toasty flavor mixed with a subtle sweetness, instantly washing away the fatigue of working overtime. Lucas watched her intently, his gaze soft and gentle, a faint smile playing at the corners of his lips. The last rays of sunlight filtered through the glass windows, casting a golden glow over his sharp features, making him look even more striking. The faint scent of his cologne, mingling with the rich aroma of coffee, created a calming and intoxicating presence. With broad shoulders and a strong, upright posture, every inch of him exuded the quiet confidence of a mature man. "You got this from downstairs?" Aurora swallowed her bite and looked up at him, a hint of surprise in her voice. Lucas nodded, a trace of warmth flickering in his deep-set eyes. "I was going to come straight up, but I saw a few of your coworkers still around. I figured you wouldnโt want the attention, so I went to grab some

Wendy avoided her gaze, pretending not to understand what Aurora was saying."What are you talking about, Aurora? I donโt get what you mean."Aurora let out a cold scoff, saying nothing, just watching this woman put on her little act.Her performance was so clumsy that anyone with half a brain wouldnโt fall for it.But of course, someone actually did.Rachel jumped in without a second thought, standing protectively in front of Wendy. She snapped at Aurora, "Donโt make things hard for Wendy. She can say whatever she wants. Itโs none of your business."Youโre nothing more than Wendyโs shadow anyway."That line struck a nerve. Auroraโs fingers curled into a tight fist.Even Leonard couldnโt help but glance at her.Her face turned grim, eyes locked coldly on Wendy.So, this was what Wendy had been spreading behind her back. And now, with Lucas nowhere around, she didnโt even bother keeping up the act.This was the good little childhood friend Lucas always talked about?Wendy tugged at Ra

Leonard spoke up at just the right moment. "Thatโs how she shows affectionโby staring at someone she likes without blinking."Auroraโs smile widened. With a casual wave, she ordered a few more desserts that kids usually loved.Watching the two of them together, Leonard felt a warmth bloom in his chest, so full it nearly overflowed.That afternoon, the three of them arrived at the biggest mall in the cityโGrand Zen Mall.They had a clear goal and headed straight for the clothing section on the third floor.Faced with rows of colorful childrenโs clothes, Aurora felt a bit overwhelmed by all the choices.Leonard, carrying little Nora in his arms, followed closely beside her."Aurora, should we head straight to the kidsโ section?""Yeah, just through the womenโs section. The childrenโs clothes are right past it."The moment Leonard heard the words womenโs section, his eyes lit up and he quickly suggested, "Well, since weโre not in a rush this afternoon, do you want to take a look at some

"Balancing adults and childrenโthatโs what real living is about. Just getting back to the essence of life."Aurora's eyes lit up. "Youโre absolutely right!"Leonard didnโt say much in response. He knew exactly what kind of design Aurora liked.This concept was grounded in everyday lifeโsomething close, something real.That was why he was confident. He knew Aurora would love this design."Alright, Iโll show this to the chairman."Her gaze toward Leonard was filled with appreciation.This was real talent, and someone the Walton Corporation couldnโt afford to lose.Her mother was right. They couldnโt let him go work elsewhere.The two of them went on to discuss more ideas around the project. The deeper the conversation went, the more Aurora admired Leonard.And Leonard felt the sameโrefreshed, even exhilarated.It had been a long time since heโd met someone who clicked with him so well.Not to mention, people who could keep up with his thought process were rare to begin with.But Aurora

Tolerating her once or twice was fine, but it just became annoying after having to do it too many times.He had his own life too. There was no reason to waste all his time on her. No need at all.After breakfast, Aurora headed to work at Walton Corporation.This time, she drove herself.As usual, the receptionist greeted her politely."By the way, Miss Walton, I saw Mr. Knight waiting in the reception room."Aurora nodded. "Got it."She was a little surprised. The design draft was supposed to take three daysโit had only been two. Leonard was already here?That thought stirred a bit of excitement in her.When she entered the lounge, sure enough, Leonard and Nora were already there.Hearing the sound of heels, Nora tensed at first. But once she saw Aurora, her expression clearly relaxed.Leonardโs smile widened slowly as he looked at Aurora."Sorry for bothering you so early."Aurora smiled and countered, "Youโre being too polite. Besides, this is my working hour anyway."Leonard cons

But the next morning, when Wendy saw the two of them walk out of the room together, the smile on her face instantly froze.Aurora found her stunned expression amusing.In fact, she even greeted her cheerfully. "Morning. Whyโs your mouth hanging open like that?"At that, Wendy quickly tried to manage her expression.She shot a panicked glance at Lucas, only to see him eyeing her with quiet scrutiny.Awkwardly, Wendy explained, "Itโs nothing. I just havenโt seen you for a couple of days. I was surprised. I thought you were mad and decided not to come back..."The moment those words landed, the look in Lucas' eyes turned icy cold.Heโd just managed to coax Aurora backโwhat was Wendy trying to do?Sure enough, when Wendy glanced at him again, she got a glare in return.But she didnโt care. With her childhood bond with Lucas, the one whoโd end up pushed aside would be Auroraโthe outsider who came in later.She was hoping Aurora would lose her temper and go file for divorce right away.Even

Aurora turned her gaze away. "Donโt you know exactly what I mean? Youโre even living with her now, and you still say you donโt know?"Men really were all the same, no matter who they were. Even at a time like this, he was still pretending not to get it.Lucas finally realized that Aurora was talking about Wendy.So that was what had been bothering her all along. No wonder she kept picking fights with him. It turned out that his Rora was jealous.The moment he figured it out, a surge of energy coursed through him. He no longer felt weak and powerlessโthe fire in his eyes was striking."You really donโt know who my true love is?"Aurora looked at him in shock, only to meet his eyes that seemed to hold a teasing glint.There was a sparkle in his gaze, filled with emotions she couldnโt quite decipher.Aurora parted her lips slightly and asked uncertainly, "Am I supposed to know?"Looking at her adorable expression, Lucas pulled her into his arms even tighter, resting his forehead ag

Aurora stood in front of the wardrobe, feeling a little awkward.Looking at Lucas like this, she wasnโt sure what she felt.Usually, he was cold and aloof, like someone untouchable.The only times his emotions ever surfaced around her were in bed.Other than that, he always appeared gentle, calm, and composed.This was the first time sheโd ever seen Lucas so helpless.Aurora couldnโt help but lower her voice. "Lucas, let go of me first.""No..."His head felt increasingly foggy, but he was still fully aware of what he was doing.With that thought, he tightened his arms around her.Only then did Aurora realize something wasnโt right.She pushed aside the confusing mess of emotions in her chest, turned around, and pressed her palm to his forehead. She gasped, "You're burning up! Are you running a fever? Did you take any medicine?"Lucas stubbornly clung to his need for an answer. "Donโt be mad at me, okay? Rora, I just want an answer. Nothing else matters.""How can it not matter!" Auro

The manager looked a little puzzled. "Sort of. We do have quite a few conflicting projects with Walton Corporation, but donโt worry, Miss Shaws, we and Waltonโฆ"Before he could finish, Wendy cut him off. "I already know the rest. Just assign me to the projects that go head-to-head with Walton Corporation."The manager was stunned.To be honest, Walton Corporation was indeed a formidable competitor. On top of that, theyโd recently aligned themselves with Vanguard Group. Their standing in Ravenshore had surged dramatically."Miss Shaws, you havenโt been in the country much, so you might not be too familiar with Walton Corporation. Theyโre actually quite capable."Wendy replied with obvious displeasure, "So what? If they werenโt, Iโd find it boring. I want this project. You donโt need to worry about the rest."Here, Wendy was putting on her full heiress airs.The manager clenched his fists, recalling what the higher-ups had said. In the end, he nodded without realizing it. "Right, got

Now that sheโd come to terms with it, Tessa knew she couldnโt let things keep going smoothly for Aurora. She needed to start planning for her own future. Sitting nearby with a soft, pleasant smile, Tessa appeared to everyone else like the embodiment of warmth and grace.But to Aurora, it felt unsettling. That smile of Tessaโs reeked of falsehoodโshe was definitely up to something. Auroraโs eyes flickered with a trace of coldness, but she pushed down the feeling and stayed quiet. After breakfast, Grace and Aurora shared a car to the office. The ride was surprisingly pleasant, as if last nightโs tension had completely evaporated. Aurora liked this kind of peaceful interaction, and she didnโt have the heart to ruin the rare calm. Unfortunately, the moment didnโt last long, before she knew it, they had arrived. Each went to her own office and got to work. Aurora was already well-versed in most of the companyโs operations. The only thing left on her plate was evaluating
