"Let go! Joseph, you’re disgusting!" Aurora struggled to break free, but his grip was too strong, pain searing through her wrist. Meanwhile, hiding in the shadows, Chuck quietly stepped out, discreetly pulling out his phone, ready to record the scene. That’s right—Joseph hadn’t come alone tonight. He had already arranged for Chuck to capture the perfect footage, something that would be enough to ruin Aurora completely. He was determined to make sure Aurora had no way to talk her way out of this."I’m going to let everyone at Walton Corporation see you for what you really are, Aurora. This is what happens when you cross me!" Joseph’s voice was nearly unhinged as he reached for her collar, attempting to tear it open. But before he could even get a proper grip, a powerful kick sent him flying backward. The next moment, a broad suit jacket was draped over Aurora’s shoulders. Still shaken, she found herself pulled into the protective embrace of Lucas. "You okay?" His dee

Aurora instinctively wanted to stop him, but Lucas grasped her wrist before she could move. The warmth of his touch sent a fleeting sense of calm through her heart. Joseph called the police, distorting the truth as he exaggerated his version of events. He conveniently left out his own despicable behavior. After hanging up, he remained seated on the ground, his gaze dark and venomous as he glared at them. "The cops are on their way. Aurora, you enjoy keeping a boy toy, huh? Let’s see how you manage to protect him this time. I refuse to believe you can bribe the police too!" He let out a malicious laugh, his expression twisted with satisfaction. Lucas, however, remained completely unfazed. He casually pulled out his phone, typed a message, and sent it before waiting patiently for the authorities to arrive. The police arrived swiftly. The moment Joseph saw the uniformed officers, he scrambled to his feet, launching into an exaggerated plea for justice. He pointed at his

Several days passed without any news of Joseph.Word had it that he had been temporarily detained and wouldn’t be released for a few more days. Aurora’s life gradually returned to normal. Lucas remained as busy as ever, rarely showing up at home. With thoughts weighing on her mind, Aurora found herself increasingly distracted. The days slipped by, and soon, the day of Grace’s birthday banquet arrived. Just as Lucas was about to leave for work, he turned to her and said, "Mrs. Carter, I have some matters to handle today. I might be late to the banquet." The words that had been on the tip of Aurora’s tongue were swallowed back. Thinking of the messages Tessa had sent her before, her expression dimmed slightly, and her fingers unconsciously curled into a fist. But in the end, she didn’t say anything. She figured Lucas was probably busy entertaining his so-called first love. If she chose this moment to make a fuss, she would only embarrass herself. With that thought,

The moment those words left Aurora’s, Tessa’s smile stiffened. She frowned, staring at Aurora in disbelief, momentarily at a loss for words. "Aurora, did you come back just to bully your sister?" Julian spoke up, his voice sharp and cutting. He held Tessa protectively by his side as he struck where it hurt most. "Your sister was only thinking of you. You were the one who insisted on chasing after Joseph for three years, throwing away your dignity just to be by his side. And in the end, what happened? You came crawling back, humiliated." His words were deliberately cruel, meant to expose her past in front of the crowd. By now, their conversation had drawn the attention of many guests. A hushed murmur spread through the room as people whispered among themselves, their eyes flitting between Aurora and Tessa. "Isn’t that Madam’s Grace second daughter? I heard she once abandoned everything for love." "And the guy she chased didn’t even like her. He ended up dumping her."

"It’s fine. I know you’re busy. I’m just glad you made it," Aurora replied with a soft smile, her tone filled with understanding. The sight of their intimate exchange, her gentle demeanor, his quiet attentiveness, made the onlookers gaze at them with open admiration. Even Grace, who had initially been observing with a critical eye, now regarded Lucas with newfound approval. But Tessa’s expression darkened. Her gaze shifted toward the luxury car parked outside. That man had just stepped out of it. If she wasn’t mistaken, that was the latest limited-edition model released not long ago. Only ten units existed nationwide, each carrying an astronomical price tag. Julian wanted to buy one as well, but they had sold out almost instantly. How could a man like him have one? By all appearances, Lucas was just some nameless pretty boy. Could it be that Aurora, desperate to keep up appearances, had spent a fortune renting the car just so her boy toy could drive it? The thought ma

Grace’s smile gradually stiffened as her gaze shifted between the Baccarat crystal vase Julian gifted her and the one Lucas Carter had just presented.Her expression grew increasingly serious.Because Lucas had gifted the exact same vase."How is this possible? They both gave the same thing? An antique like this is already incredibly rare—how could there be two?""I’ve heard of this vase before. There was only one ever recorded, right? It was auctioned off years ago to a mysterious buyer for an astronomical price. It’s supposed to be one of a kind!""Which means one of these has to be a fake."Tessa quickly caught on, her brows furrowing in disapproval."Mr. Lucas, whether your car and gifts are rented or not, at least put some effort into choosing something real for Mom’s birthday."Giving her a counterfeit in front of so many people—aren’t you just embarrassing my sister? Or do you not care about how this makes her look?"Julian’s expression darkened as he spoke in an equally cold to

Charl gave a slight nod at the question.Slipping on his gloves, he carefully ran his fingers over the surface of the vase, studying every detail.After a long pause, he finally looked up at Julian. "Mind telling me how much you paid for this?"Julian lifted his chin proudly, holding up a hand to indicate the sum. "As long as my mother-in-law likes it, no price is too high!"A collective gasp rippled through the crowd."Mr. Hayes really went all out this time. The generosity of the Hayes family is unmatched!""Truly extravagant!"Julian basked in the admiration, his lips curving into a self-satisfied smile. He turned to Charl. "So? There’s no flaw in my gift, right?"The elderly appraiser stroked his chin thoughtfully before squinting his eyes and shaking his head. "What a shame… Spending that much money, only to end up with a fake."The smile on Julian’s face froze.His throat tightened. "That’s impossible! I paid a fortune for this!"He gestured toward the other vase beside it. "If

With the truth exposed, Grace lost all interest in the celebration, and the banquet ended on a sour note. Lucas and Aurora drove home in silence. The moment they stepped through the front door, Lucas’ gaze turned intense and possessive. His dark, brooding eyes locked onto Aurora, as if he wanted to consume her whole. "You looked beautiful tonight." His voice was deep and magnetic, each word carrying an undeniable weight. Aurora felt a faint heat creeping up her cheeks under his unwavering stare. She pushed against his chest, attempting to put some distance between them. "Let me go. I’m exhausted and just want to sleep." But Lucas had no intention of letting her off so easily. Without warning, he scooped her up in his arms and strode toward the bedroom with determined strides. His gaze burned with unmistakable desire. "Too late for that." Aurora let out a startled gasp, instinctively wrapping her arms around his neck. "What are you doing? Put me down!" Lucas plac

Wendy avoided her gaze, pretending not to understand what Aurora was saying."What are you talking about, Aurora? I don’t 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 wouldn’t 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, "Don’t make things hard for Wendy. She can say whatever she wants. It’s none of your business."You’re nothing more than Wendy’s shadow anyway."That line struck a nerve. Aurora’s fingers curled into a tight fist.Even Leonard couldn’t 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 didn’t 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. "That’s how she shows affection—by staring at someone she likes without blinking."Aurora’s 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 city—Grand Zen Mall.They had a clear goal and headed straight for the clothing section on the third floor.Faced with rows of colorful children’s 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 kids’ section?""Yeah, just through the women’s section. The children’s clothes are right past it."The moment Leonard heard the words women’s section, his eyes lit up and he quickly suggested, "Well, since we’re not in a rush this afternoon, do you want to take a look at some

"Balancing adults and children—that’s what real living is about. Just getting back to the essence of life."Aurora's eyes lit up. "You’re absolutely right!"Leonard didn’t say much in response. He knew exactly what kind of design Aurora liked.This concept was grounded in everyday life—something close, something real.That was why he was confident. He knew Aurora would love this design."Alright, I’ll show this to the chairman."Her gaze toward Leonard was filled with appreciation.This was real talent, and someone the Walton Corporation couldn’t afford to lose.Her mother was right. They couldn’t 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 same—refreshed, even exhilarated.It had been a long time since he’d 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 days—it 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.Leonard’s smile widened slowly as he looked at Aurora."Sorry for bothering you so early."Aurora smiled and countered, "You’re 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. Why’s 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, "It’s nothing. I just haven’t 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.He’d just managed to coax Aurora back—what was Wendy trying to do?Sure enough, when Wendy glanced at him again, she got a glare in return.But she didn’t care. With her childhood bond with Lucas, the one who’d end up pushed aside would be Aurora—the 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. "Don’t you know exactly what I mean? You’re even living with her now, and you still say you don’t 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 powerless—the fire in his eyes was striking."You really don’t 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 couldn’t 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 wasn’t 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 she’d ever seen Lucas so helpless.Aurora couldn’t 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 wasn’t 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. "Don’t 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 don’t worry, Miss Shaws, we and Walton…"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, they’d recently aligned themselves with Vanguard Group. Their standing in Ravenshore had surged dramatically."Miss Shaws, you haven’t been in the country much, so you might not be too familiar with Walton Corporation. They’re actually quite capable."Wendy replied with obvious displeasure, "So what? If they weren’t, I’d find it boring. I want this project. You don’t 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 she’d come to terms with it, Tessa knew she couldn’t 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 Tessa’s reeked of falsehood—she was definitely up to something. Aurora’s 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 night’s tension had completely evaporated. Aurora liked this kind of peaceful interaction, and she didn’t have the heart to ruin the rare calm. Unfortunately, the moment didn’t 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 company’s operations. The only thing left on her plate was evaluating
