Chapter 458

Penulis: Love Berries
What a joke.

Judy’s gaze hardened. “Joseph, the thing standing between us has never been you or me. It’s your parents and the gap between our worlds.

“Who do you think I’ve been working so hard for? You think I’m doing all this just for myself? It was for us.”

Joseph looked at her, completely lost. “What do you mean, for us?”

But Judy had already turned away, throwing one last remark over her shoulder. “You figure it out. I have a client waiting.”

“I’ll say it one last time—the problem between us was never just us.”

She really didn’t have time to argue.

A client was about to walk in, and she didn’t have the energy to deal with both Joseph and work at the same time.

Trying to keep one foot in a collapsing relationship while smiling politely at a high-end customer? She wasn’t that kind of person.

She closed the door behind her, leaving Joseph alone in the hallway.

He stared at the office door, an ache curling in his chest—hard to name and harder to ignore.

It felt like the whole world w

  • Dumping My Ex to Flash Marry the Untouchable CEO   Chapter 476

    She swallowed hard, fury blazing in her chest.What exactly was this woman trying to do? She had finally gotten the chance to have a meal with Lucas—couldn’t she just behave for once?"Lukey, I was the one who invited you today. This is supposed to be our time together. Why does someone else have to butt in?"Wendy didn’t want to be interrupted. All she wanted in that moment was for Lucas to belong entirely to her.With that thought, she reached over, powered off his phone, and slipped it into her bag."Don’t worry. I’ll give it back after dinner."Her tone had a hint of temper. "After all, you wouldn’t want Aurora finding out about your real identity, would you?"Lucas’ lips pressed into a tight line. Anyone who knew him well would recognize the signs—he was on the verge of snapping.His fists clenched by his sides, again and again, until finally, for Kenneth’s sake, he refrained from laying a hand on her.If it had been any other woman, she’d have been six feet under by now, grass

    It didn’t matter. No matter what anyone said, Lucas was hers completely.As for Aurora? She could go wherever she wanted.“Order whatever you like,” Lucas said after sitting down, pushing the menu toward Wendy.No matter the situation, he was still a man who upheld basic courtesy. It was second nature, ingrained in him as deeply as the instinct to use a fork at dinner.“Great!”Wendy beamed. She knew that Lucas still cared about her. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have handed her the menu first.It was obvious he wanted her preferences to take priority.Looking over the menu, she turned to the server. “Do you have any house specials you’d recommend?”The server, friendly and attentive, began listing the specials right away. “If you’re into bold flavors, our signature spicy sea bass is a standout—freshly caught and prepped just this morning.”“Oh, no. Something else, please. Lukey doesn’t eat spicy food.”Wendy replied quickly, glancing sideways at Lucas as she spoke, hoping he’d notice her th

    Wendy truly had no sense of self-preservation. Did she really not understand who she was dealing with?Trying to grab his arm? That was bold and reckless.Other than Aurora, no one else could get that close to Lucas. Who did she think she was?Desmond clenched his eyes shut, not wanting to witness what was about to unfold.And sure enough, Lucas’ gaze turned cold. Without hesitation, he seized Wendy’s wrist, his voice low and chilling. “What do you think you’re doing?”As he spoke, his grip tightened.Wendy winced in pain, her face twisting. “Lukey, that hurts! Let go! I’m sorry, I was wrong!”Hearing her cry out, Desmond actually let out a quiet sigh of relief.Now this was the Lucas Carter he knew—utterly uncompromising.If Lucas were the type to let just anyone close, then what was the point of everything they had done in Fortline? Those people wouldn’t have been eliminated so swiftly.Desmond shook his head slightly, musing to himself.Who would’ve thought a personal assistant co

    "Got it. Now go. And close the door behind you if there's nothing else," Aurora said flatly, her face emotionless.Seeing her that distant, Ian didn’t dare press further. He simply closed the door and turned around, only to be met with a dozen expectant faces.Facing all those concerned eyes, he cleared his throat. “Alright, nothing to see here. Let’s all get back to work, okay? There’s plenty to do. Don’t just stand around.”Despite his words, no one really felt at ease.Because deep down, they all knew that Aurora probably hadn’t eaten.And judging from Ian’s expression, they were right.As expected, she barely touched the food. After a few quick bites, she pushed it aside and went right back to her work.Between the heavy workload and her mother’s health issues, Aurora’s responsibilities had only multiplied. She no longer had the luxury of moving at her own pace.And that was exactly why she pushed herself so hard.She didn’t need to prove anything to anyone; she just wanted to sh

    “You do take care of yourself, but your wrist is completely bare—no accessories at all. And you always wear business attire every single day. You could switch it up once in a while! And also…”Under Aurora’s stunned gaze, Lucy suddenly let out a dramatic cry.“And how are you naturally this gorgeous?! You don’t even have visible pores!”“Your skin is flawless. How is that even possible? I’m so jealous!”Aurora couldn’t help but burst out laughing.This girl… how had she never noticed how adorable she was?“Wait, wait,” Lucy blinked, finally realizing, “Wasn’t I supposed to help you sort through those documents?”Aurora waved her off. “It’s alright. Thank you all for the kind offer. I truly appreciate it. And thank everyone else for me too.”“I’ll have my assistant send you all tea later. As for the work, it’s better I handle it myself.”The mention of milk tea made Lucy’s eyes sparkle like stars.Still, she looked a little concerned. “Okay, but if anything comes up, promise you’ll let

    Not long after, Desmond stepped out as well, perceptive enough to light a fresh cigarette for Lucas.“All cleaned up?”Lucas exhaled a trail of smoke, his tone casual.Desmond nodded. “Don’t worry, sir. Everything’s been taken care of. No loose ends.”“Let’s head back.”Lucas sounded displeased. These petty thugs had cost him two full days away from Aurora. It was utterly worthless. Nothing but a nuisance.He returned on the third day.In that time, Aurora had been swamped with work, especially after her mother’s sudden health issues. Her plate had filled up fast, and the pressure mounted sharply.She barely had the energy to think about Lucas, let alone anything else.Ian, though silent, had been watching everything unfold.“Miss Walton, maybe you should take a proper break?” he suggested gently.Aurora rubbed her temples. “I can’t. There’s still a mountain of things waiting for me.”She forced herself to stay focused, slipping on her glasses and turning her attention back to the sc
