Lucas let out a slow, mocking chuckle, his smirk deepening at the mention of Waltonโs heiress.His gaze shifted to Aurora, who instinctively shrank back.โI donโt care who you are,โ he said leisurely, his voice calm but laced with menace. โSay one more word about my wife, and Iโll make sure thereโs nowhere left for you to run.โHe paused before adding, โAnd from what I know, you were the one my wife dumped. Makes me wonderโare you this bitter because you couldnโt have her, so now youโre desperate to ruin her?โโYou...!โThe cold glint in Lucasโs sharp eyes was laced with unmistakable fury, as if dipped in ice. The moment Joseph met his gaze, his body locked up, his throat going dry.He couldnโt even find the words to argue back.How the hell does a pretty boy have this kind of presence?Everything about himโhis composed demeanor, the refined air around himโwas completely out of place for someone who shouldโve been nothing more than a kept man.Was he really just some nobody?Aurora su

Out of the corner of her eye, Aurora caught a glimpse of a familiar fabric.It was Joseph.He still hadnโt left?The moment he realized she had spotted him, the hatred in his eyes deepened. Without hesitation, he stormed out from the shadows, planting himself in front of them.Aurora's lips curled into a smirk. โWell, well, if it isnโt Joseph, the same guy who slunk away in shame just moments ago.โโYou bitch, donโt get cocky!โ Joseph snarled, his gaze flashing with fury before flicking to Lucas.Standing face-to-face with him again, he could still feel the suffocating pressure radiating from the man.Joseph clenched his jaw, forcing himself to suppress the unease creeping in. He gritted his teeth and sneered, โSo what? You found yourself a kept pretty boy, and now you actually think you can go up against the Hunt family?โHis expression twisted with malicious delight. โAs long as youโre in Ravenshore, youโd better be prepared. Weโll see who gets the last laugh.โAuroraโs gaze turned

Lucasโ touch was gentle, his fingers carefully running the towel through Auroraโs soft hair as if he were handling something rare and precious. His deep voice murmured beside her, pulling her from her thoughts. When she opened her eyes, she found herself staring straight into his dark, gentle gaze. They were so close. Her heart skipped a beat. For a brief moment, her defenses lowered, and the words she had been holding back finally reached the tip of her tongue. She was just about to ask about the woman who had always lingered in the shadows between them. But before she could speak, the sharp ring of a phone shattered the delicate atmosphere. Lucasโ lips pressed into a thin line, irritation flickering in his gaze at the unwelcome interruption. Aurora sat up, pulling the towel from his hands and rubbing at her damp hair absentmindedly. Her tone was neutral. โYou should answer that.โ Lucas exhaled silently, clearly reluctant, but when he glanced at the screen and saw

Aurora, still lost in thought, headed to the bathroom to freshen up. As she turned around, she suddenly found herself staring into a pair of warm, gentle eyes.It was Lucas.Her heart skipped a beat.Noticing the bit of foam still clinging to the corner of her lips, his gaze softened with quiet amusement. He stepped toward her, closing the distance between them.Aurora blinked in confusion, feeling a slow heat creep up her ears. โWhat is it?โLucas didnโt answer. Instead, he simply reached out and wiped the foam off her lips with a feather-light touch. โYou missed a spot.โShe exhaled, finally realizing what he was doing.โOh god,โ she scolded herself internally, get a grip."Come eat when you're ready. I made breakfast."His deep voice carried a casual warmth, but the sight of him in an apronโฆAurora quickly turned back to the sink, twisting the faucet handle and splashing cold water onto her face.She had to get it together.Lucas, watching her reaction, smirked slightly, finding

Aurora had no intention of acknowledging Joseph.Trash was trash. Give it attention, and it might start thinking you actually cared.She moved to walk past him without a second glance, planning to leave Walton Corporation altogether.But Joseph spotted her. His gaze flickered, and the humiliation from last nightโs banquet came rushing back.Rage ignited in his chest.He strode forward, blocking her path, his eyes sweeping over her with open hostility.โWell, well,โ he sneered. โLooks like landing yourself a sugar daddy really changed things, huh? โYou almost had me fooled with that whole pure and untouchable act. Does your little pretty boy know youโre like this?โAurora curled her fingers into a fist, resisting the urge to land a punch on him right then and there. For the sake of Walton Corporationโs reputation, she held back.โA filthy mind sees filth everywhere,โ she said coldly. โIf youโve got nothing better to do, then get lost.โJoseph let out a mocking laugh. โYou really think

Aurora noticed the curious glances from the front desk and lowered her voice."I'm warning youโthis is Walton Corporation," she said, her tone sharp and deliberate."If youโre serious about chasing after the Walton younger heiress, maybe try not humiliating yourself in her company building."With that, she shoved Joseph away, her expression filled with undisguised disgust like she was looking at something rotting on the sidewalk.As if to make it even clearer, she pulled a tissue from her bag and wiped the spot on her hand where he had touched her.Josephโs chest heaved with suppressed anger.But recalling what Aurora had just said, he swallowed his frustration and held back."You just wait," he spat. "Once I meet the Walton younger heiress, Iโll make sure she gets rid of you."Aurora let out a low, mocking chuckle. "I wish you the best of luck."With that, she turned on her heel, the sharp clicks of her high heels echoing across the floor as she walked away.Joseph stood frozen for se

"Youโre looking for the Walton youngerโฆ what business do you have with me?"Tessa's tone was casual, almost uninterested.Joseph, however, was thrilled.See? No woman could resist his charm. Not even the renowned Walton younger heiress.He flashed a confident smile. "I heard that Miss Walton is not only breathtakingly beautiful but also elegant and incredibly capable. With such a reputation, how could I not want to get to know you?"As he spoke, he even threw in a flirtatious wink.Tessa barely resisted the urge to shudder.Her entire body tensed with revulsion."Just here to make friends?" she asked, her voice laced with mock curiosity.Josephโs expression turned suggestive. "Well, we could take things further. Spend some more time together, get to know each other better."Tessaโs sharp eyes narrowed slightly.Talking to this clown for even one more second is going to kill my brain cells.And to think that he had spent all this time running around trying to find Aurora?What did that

Grace's expression darkened even further.Aurora had already embarrassed the Walton family once by being involved with that man.And now?She still hadnโt learned her lesson?A heavy sigh of disappointment settled in Graceโs chest.She looked at Tessa and instructed, "Tessa, I know you have a kind heart, but this is something you donโt need to involve yourself in."Sheโs a grown woman now. She needs to be responsible for her own choices. She canโt always rely on us."Tessa hesitated for a moment, as if she had more to say, but in the end, she sighed and nodded."Iโll listen to you, Mom. I just hope my sister can be more sensible and not make you worry."Every word was laced with quiet concern, full of warmth and understanding.Grace looked at her thoughtful, considerate daughter, and inevitably, her mind drifted to Aurora.The comparison was unavoidable.And though the dissatisfaction passed in a fleeting moment, Tessa caught it clearly.A slow, knowing smile curled at the corners of h

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
