Dumping My Ex to Flash Marry the Untouchable CEO Chapter 858
“And besides, our boss has other matters to handle. He really can’t afford to waste any more time here.”Hearing that, Hector smacked his forehead, finally remembering what they were actually here for.He quickly bent forward in apology. “I’m so sorry, that’s on me. I’ll take you there right away. My apologies again.”As he spoke, he raised a hand and gestured ahead. “If you look straight ahead, just follow this hallway. It’s not far—Julian Hayes is being held just down this way.”Desmond glanced at Hector, puzzled. “You’re not coming with us?”Thinking of Julian’s current state made Hector feel a little uneasy.He looked at Lucas’ sharp, indifferent profile, wrestled with himself for a moment, then gave in. “Alright, I’ll come with you.”Originally, he hadn’t wanted to see Julian like this.If it weren’t for Lucas’ request, he probably wouldn’t have stepped foot there at all.In just two days, Julian had become completely unrecognizable.Hector led Lucas and Desmond to the holding ar

Hector shook his head. “It’s no trouble at all. I’m just doing my job.”His expression was serious and composed, the kind that gave off the vibe of a genuine, dedicated officer.That was Desmond’s first impression of him.Still, he reminded himself not to judge too quickly.People often revealed who they really were over time.Hector walked slightly ahead of Lucas, but with enough awareness to stay more or less level with him—never too far forward.He wasn’t sure how to handle other big shots, but someone like Lucas? He figured it was best to stick with respectful formality.After all, courtesy never hurt anyone.It was also a way to carve out a better future for himself.If he managed to win over someone like Lucas, who knew what doors might open?With that kind of backing, why would he need to fear his leader’s threats?He could fire right back without blinking.By then, chances were they wouldn’t even be in the same league anymore.The more Hector thought about it, the straighter h

Before coming, Hector had been thoroughly briefed by the chief over and over again.He’d taken every word to heart.This time, the chief hadn’t even bothered calling the lead officer over.And since Hector was the main officer in charge of this case, the chief concluded that, all things considered, Hector was the most suitable person to receive such an important guest.There was no doubt about it.As Lucas and Desmond approached, the chief and Hector moved forward to meet them.The moment the chief saw Lucas in person, his smile deepened so much that the wrinkles around his eyes seemed to stick together.“Ah, Mr. Carter, it’s truly an honor to meet you in person. It’s far better than just hearing your name!”The chief extended a hand for a handshake.But Lucas didn’t move at all. Instead, he gave Desmond a subtle look, and the latter immediately stepped forward and took hold of the chief’s hand that had been hanging awkwardly mid-air.Desmond smiled and said, “We’re honored to meet yo

Meanwhile, Desmond was quietly puzzled.How did the boss even notice?Wasn’t he wearing sunglasses?And besides, wasn’t Lucas sitting there with his eyes closed? How could he possibly tell he was sneaking glances?Desmond thought it over for a while but couldn’t make sense of it.Eventually, he decided to just let it go.That said—he had to admit—getting snapped at by Lucas again after so long actually felt kind of satisfying.The moment that realization hit him, Desmond was horrified.When had he become like this?Forget it, just focus on driving.Before long, the car rolled to a smooth stop in front of the police station.Before getting out, Lucas asked just to be sure, “Everything taken care of back home?”Desmond patted his chest confidently. “Don’t worry, Mr. Carter. Everything’s in place. If anything unexpected comes up, we’ll be the first to know.”Lucas gave a slight nod and didn’t say more.Desmond had been with him for a long time, and when it came to the basics, he trusted h

Meanwhile, Lucas hadn’t been idle either.He had gotten up early that morning at the hospital and, without wasting a second, headed straight to the police station.Up front, Desmond was driving, sunglasses on, secretly thrilled to see his boss back in full-on CEO mode.This was the version of Lucas he preferred—sharp, commanding, and in control.God knew how Desmond had survived the past month.Not only did he have to oversee their own company, but also keep tabs on Walton Corporation, all while managing the emotional rollercoaster that was his boss.Twenty-four hours in a day weren’t enough—he felt like he needed forty-eight.His own downtime had been cut drastically, with no trace of the freedom he once had.And his boss?He was glued to his wife’s side, paying zero attention to the company or even to family affairs.He had practically handed everything over to Desmond.Frankly, Desmond suspected that if he were even slightly more capable, Lucas might’ve dumped the entire company on

But someone like Leonard? That was way too fast to lose interest!Hmph, men really were just bastards.Seeing Megan all puffed up with anger, Leonard couldn’t help but find her absolutely adorable.How could someone be so kind-hearted, so sincere, and still shine like a little sun?It felt like every beautiful word in the world could be used to describe this girl.For a moment, Leonard found it unbelievable himself.But he still needed to keep his feelings in check.He reminded himself again and again—he wasn’t some heartless jerk.Just a moment ago, he had told himself he would quietly protect Aurora.And now what?He was catching feelings for her best friend?Leonard looked down at his palms, disgusted by the man he was becoming.The mood instantly shifted. The light, playful air had vanished.Leonard let out a long breath and decided to change the subject to break the awkward silence.“Where’s your cousin?”Come to think of it, it was odd. How could Lucas be so at ease, leaving Au
