Dumping My Ex to Flash Marry the Untouchable CEO Chapter 81
At first, everyone assumed that the second daughter of the Walton family’s matriarch was just here for show, playing at starting from the bottom.After all, heirs born into wealth rarely took their jobs seriously. With family money as a safety net, most of them treated work as a mere pastime.But Aurora was nothing like the people the project manager had seen before.In fact, she completely overturned his expectations.It was rare to see someone as dedicated as her.With her background, she could have coasted through her position at Walton Corporation, doing the bare minimum.Yet he saw her seriousness and diligence firsthand.Not only that, but she was genuine. She treated people with warmth and respect.The project manager found himself looking at her with newfound admiration.Aurora, however, didn’t care how others viewed her.To her, work was about responsibility—doing what needed to be done.She carried herself with unwavering poise, like a steadfast pine tree standing tall agains

Right. She was here to deliver the documents.Vanguard’s project was the priority—everything else was secondary.She needed to stay focused.Besides, it had only been a fleeting glimpse.Maybe she had seen wrong.But then again… could she really mistake a face like Lucas’?A sudden thought struck her.Vanguard’s chairman also had the last name Carter.The same one as Lucas.Aurora’s eyes narrowed slightly.The coincidences were piling up.She recalled the extravagant gesture Lucas had made at her mother’s birthday banquet—the genuine antique bottle he had gifted.Even Julian, who had spent a fortune, had ended up with a fake.Yet Lucas had easily produced the real deal.She always knew the Carter family was well-off, but this level of extravagance wasn’t common.Her thoughts swirled as she arrived at the 15th-floor conference room.Maybe she really did see wrong…But the moment the elevator doors slid open, her breath caught.Standing in the center of the crowd outside was a familiar f

Aurora didn’t say anything else.With so many people watching, there was no need to continue the conversation.“Alright, get back to work. I have things to do as well.”She lifted the documents in her hand as a gesture, reminding him of her purpose for being here.Lucas studied her, taking in the sharpness of her gaze—different from her usual carefree demeanor. There was a seriousness to her now.“Alright. Good luck.” Then, as if casually, he added, “With how dedicated you are, Rora, you’ll succeed in anything you do.”Aurora met his deep gaze, sensing something layered beneath his words. But she couldn’t quite place it.Her mind briefly flickered back to the Lucas surname.Her lashes lowered slightly, masking her thoughts.Forget it.Even if Lucas’s family was well-off, at most, he was probably just part of a distant branch.That legendary, top-tier Carter family—the one that controlled Vanguard Group—was far beyond the reach of someone like her.With that thought, the tension in her

Aurora’s words landed well, putting everyone at ease.Many looked at her with newfound respect.It seemed Walton Corporation had a strong chance this time.The representative they had sent wasn’t just capable, she also knew how to carry herself with restraint and professionalism.Aurora noticed the shift in their gazes but responded only with a polite nod.She knew all too well how ruthless the business world could be.People loved tearing others down when they were vulnerable.Maintaining surface-level relationships was enough—cordial but distant.There were no unnecessary enemies and no unnecessary entanglements.Stepping out of the meeting room, Aurora immediately spotted Lucas waiting for her.“You’re done?”“Yes, everything’s settled.”Lucas took her bag from her naturally, as if it were second nature.Aurora paused for a brief second but said nothing.Well, if he offered to carry her bag for free, why should she refuse?However, as she glanced around, something struck her as odd.

At first, Aurora didn’t think much of it.After all, Lucas had a habit of keeping his distance from others, and there was plenty of space around him.But the moment those words left his mouth, she suddenly felt countless eyes on them.It was as if the entire room had been watching this whole time.“Anything’s fine. Stop asking me,” she muttered, wanting nothing more than to escape.Meanwhile, whispers spread among Desmond and the other employees nearby.“Holy—so this is Mrs. Carter?!”“It has to be! The boss is asking her what she wants for dinner.”“Wait… The boss cooks?”“No way. I thought he was the kind of untouchable figure who never stepped off his pedestal. Turns out he didn’t step down, he just found someone just as high up.”“I just want to know what flaw God gave our boss, because I don’t see a single one.”Though everyone pretended to focus on their work, they were all eavesdropping—eyes and ears tuned in, fully invested in the scene playing out before them.Aurora felt incr

Aurora was like that—once she made up her mind, she stuck to it.The entire way to the car, she didn’t spare Lucas a glance.Lucas, of course, noticed her absentmindedness and asked, amused, “Rora, didn’t you just say I was good-looking? So why have you been looking everywhere but at me this whole time?”Hearing that, a faint blush crept up Aurora’s delicate earlobes.Her mind flashed back to the awkwardness at Vanguard.And besides, that comment had just been an offhand remark—why did he have to keep bringing it up?She shot him a mildly resentful look. “No matter how good-looking, I’ve already slept with you. Seen it enough times. Kinda losing its novelty.”It was a flippant, slightly petulant remark, spoken without much thought.But the moment the words left her lips, Lucas stopped walking.His expression shifted into something unreadable as he turned to look at her.Aurora, oblivious, kept walking ahead, still muttering to herself.Why must he keep bringing up my embarrassing momen

As Lucas caught his breath, he took the moment to murmur against Aurora’s lips, "Now would be a good time to close your eyes."Before she could react, his hand gently covered her eyes, blocking out the world.And in the next instant, he leaned in again.Aurora barely had time to process it before he was stealing her breath once more, drowning her in another heated kiss.Their silhouettes tangled in the dim backseat, locked in a silent, feverish battle…At Walton CorporationBy the time Aurora returned to the office, a few colleagues were already waiting, eager to hear about the meeting with Vanguard.But the moment she walked in, one of them gasped."Rora! What happened to your lips? They’re so swollen—it looks serious!"The exclamation came from a round-faced coworker, a bubbly and affectionate girl known for being a bit dramatic but incredibly reliable.She was the type to always have snacks to share and often treated Aurora like a trusted senior.Aurora didn’t dislike her. In fact,

She glanced at the person, taking a quick look and finding them somewhat familiar.If she remembered correctly, it was the one who had been shopping with Chuck. It seemed like her name was Linda.Aurora recalled the way Chuck had leered that day, and her stomach churned in disgust.She withdrew her gaze, calculating in her mind.Was Linda planning to take revenge for Chuck?How ridiculous. Chuck was nothing but scum, yet someone actually cared about him.Then again, Aurora thought, it did make sense. The two of them were probably just using each other.She shook her head, dismissing the thought.When the project manager arrived, Aurora pressed the Enter key one last time, saved the file to her desktop, and closed it."Hey, Aurora, come to the office for a moment.""Alright, I'm coming now."She stood up and followed the manager into the office.As soon as the door closed behind them, Linda dropped the act, glaring at the door with pure hatred.Bitch.Her resentment was impossible to h

All it did was make Aurora feel like her past self had been unbelievably naive.But Joseph kept going, oblivious to her discomfort. "Those were our best memories. I still remember the first time you blushed, the way you looked in that white dress—so sweet and shy. “You were always so gentle and soft when you were with me… it was such a beautiful time."As he spoke, he watched her face closely, searching for some flicker of emotion.But to Aurora, hearing those words from him made her skin crawl.The more he went on, the more irritated she became. Her expression turned colder by the second.She reached for her phone, ready to call a ride. Staying here any longer felt like a direct assault on her intelligence.Joseph noticed the gesture. That was when it hit him—she hadn’t been listening to a single word he said.And in that moment, he felt like a complete fool.He had poured out his heart, and yet this woman—this ungrateful bitch—could still be so heartless.His eyes darkened. He

Aurora’s anger ignited the second those words left his mouth.Without hesitation, she slapped Joseph hard across the face, her voice sharp and cold. "What the hell is wrong with you?"This is still Walton Corporation, and you think you can throw a fit right here? Whether I talk or not is none of your damn business. Try worrying about yourself."The slap caught Joseph completely off guard. Before he could react, Aurora had already snatched her phone back.He clutched his cheek, momentarily stunned, not even sure where to look.Rage overtook him. "You bitch! You actually hit me!"Aurora raised her chin defiantly. "So, what if I did? You brought it on yourself."Joseph couldn’t stand the smugness in her expression. Grinding his teeth, he snapped, "You think you can just cut me off like that? It’s not gonna be that easy!"Aurora, we were together for three years. Don’t forget, I’ve seen everything. You're not afraid I’ll send it all out?"His threat made Aurora pause, eyes narrowing as s

After all, this was a choice, and a gamble, Aurora had made for herself.Even if she lost the bet, she knew she'd have to deal with the consequences on her own.She pulled out her phone, opened the ride-hailing app, and was just about to book a car when a voice laced with fury and bitterness cut through the air."Aurora Walton, you’re doing this on purpose, aren’t you?"The sudden sound startled her. She hadn’t even noticed someone standing nearby.Steadying herself, Aurora looked up, only to be met with Joseph’s face, dark and twisted with resentment."Well, look who’s changed careers," she said dryly, unable to resist the jab.Joseph blinked, caught off guard. "What’s that supposed to mean?""Nothing much. Just surprised to find a clown performing right outside my office," Aurora said casually. "Now move. Stop blocking my way."At that, Joseph’s expression twisted. The fresh style he’d worked so hard on couldn’t hide the rage contorting his face. "What the hell does that mean? I ca

"Judy, I know things have been tough on you lately. Go ahead and pick out whatever you want."With a grand gesture, Joseph handed her a bank card. "You know the PIN. If it’s not enough, just let me know."Judy was momentarily stunned by the gesture, caught off guard by the sudden generosity."Joseph, you’re so good to me."He pulled her into his arms. "You’re my woman. If I don’t treat you well, who else should I treat well? Go to the mall this afternoon. Don’t come back until you’ve spent it all."Judy leaned into him, looking blissfully content. She could only hope all her previous doubts were just in her head.After sending her off, Joseph got himself styled up and prepared to head to Walton Corporation to see Aurora.The more he thought about things, the more stifled he felt.That spiteful woman—Aurora had kept things from him for three whole years. It had to be intentional.There hadn’t been a shred of trust between them—that was what made being with her so exhausting, and what

The two of them were laughing and chatting, and in Lucas’ eyes, they looked exactly like a family.A flush of red crept into the corners of his eyes as he forced himself to suppress the emotions surging in his chest.He told himself over and over to stay calm and trust Aurora.But watching the scene through the glass, he felt like he was on the verge of losing it.The image of a handsome man, a beautiful woman, and an adorable little girl was the perfect picture of a family. No matter how he looked at it, that’s exactly what it seemed to be.Jealousy churned inside him, bubbling to the surface with every breath he took.In the end, he could only turn and leave.Even though anger simmered beneath his skin, he was still standing near Walton Corporation. He reminded himself that Aurora would give him an explanation.“What if he was only a working partner?” he reasoned, trying to hold on to that thought.…Meanwhile, Joseph paced anxiously in his apartment.He dragged a hand through his

"Yes, our GM’s been busy coordinating with a new project partner. She already left for lunch, probably eating at one of the restaurants nearby."The receptionist answered Lucas’ question without holding anything back.He gave a small nod in thanks and turned to leave.Glancing at his still-silent phone, a flicker of unease crept into his chest.It appeared that Aurora was still upset.He stepped out and wandered around the nearby restaurants, checking one after another. With all the people casting glances his way, he reluctantly pulled on a mask and got back in the car, driving slow laps around the area.Honestly, he hadn’t expected much—just hoped he might get lucky and run into her.But then, through a restaurant’s glass window, he caught a glimpse of a familiar smile.At first, from a distance, he wasn’t sure if it was really her. After all, she was sitting across from a man and a little girl.When he rolled the window down for a better look, the uncertainty vanished.It was Auror

But Lucas wasn’t falling for her tricks anymore. His face remained cold as he said, "Stay a couple more days if you want, but once you're done having your fun, go back.""You’re kicking me out?"Wendy stared at him in disbelief, her face full of shock. They had known each other since childhood—was that bond really worth nothing now?Lucas stayed unmoved, firm in his stance.No matter how much Wendy pouted or begged this time, he didn’t say another word.In the end, the whole scene ended in frustration, with Wendy stewing in her own anger.Lucas had no appetite left either. Grabbing his coat, he headed out the door.Ever since Wendy arrived, he’d realized he needed to reevaluate his relationship with Aurora. He couldn’t keep treating it so casually.Wendy watched his retreating figure, her fists slowly clenching, eyes wide with fury.She had no idea what kind of spell Aurora had cast. Even after acting that smug, Lucas still indulged her.He even cooked for her.Wendy had never see

When Aurora got up, she saw Wendy sitting at the dining table, her eyes sparkling as she looked at Lucas."Wow, Lukey, I didn’t expect to taste your cooking again today. I’ve missed it so much!"Wendy exclaimed dramatically, "You have no idea, the stuff overseas is practically inedible. None of it tastes right. Home is still the best. And especially Lukey’s cooking."But Lucas remained expressionless. "Don’t touch anything. Wait till your sister-in-law gets up."Wendy pouted but, under his gaze, reluctantly put down the piece of fried egg.From the corner of her eye, she saw Aurora.The woman didn’t say a word. She just stood there quietly, like an outsider watching it all unfold.Wendy then walked over to her and, feigning intimacy, hooked her arm through Aurora’s. "My dear sis-in-law, look at all the delicious food Lukey made. Don’t stay upset anymore."If you ask me, you really are lucky. Lukey’s looks and background are both top-tier, and he even knows how to cook. Isn’t that the

Lucas watched Aurora’s retreating figure but didn’t follow. He knew what she needed right now wasn’t more pressure, but space to cool down. If he pushed too hard, it would only make things worse. His fists clenched tightly at his sides. Only when the guest room door slammed shut with a loud bang did he snap out of his daze. Letting out a long, heavy sigh, he turned and headed toward the master bedroom. Meanwhile, in the guest room, Aurora sat in silence, unable to shake the frustration tightening in her chest. She had told herself from the very beginning to never believe a man’s promises. She and Lucas had always been about mutual benefit, and nothing more. And yet, something had started to shift. Something she hadn’t accounted for. Things were slipping out of her control, veering in a direction she didn’t expect and wanted.She raised a hand to her chest, fingers pressing lightly against her heart. That steady thrum felt more and more unmanageable. Why had she go
