Chapter 850

Author: Love Berries
Besides, they were all adults—was their ability to handle setbacks really that weak?

Lucas shared the test results from earlier with Aurora.

"The hospital confirmed that Tessa’s neck was indeed injured, and her vocal cords were also partially damaged. It’ll take some time for a full recovery."

Aurora felt a wave of emotion stir in her chest.

It seemed Julian had truly gone for the kill when he strangled Tessa.

He hadn’t held back at all, which meant things between them had completely broken down.

"It got that ugly?"

Lucas nodded. "Yes. So, I’d say their engagement is pretty much over."

For some reason, Aurora couldn’t quite describe how she felt at that moment.

After all, she had always known the Hayes family was a wolf’s den.

Tessa marrying into it was like jumping into a fire pit.

That outcome wasn’t surprising at all.

But at the beginning, Tessa had seemed that she knew what kind of place it was, but she’d acted like she didn’t care, as if she was completely confident she could con

  • Dumping My Ex to Flash Marry the Untouchable CEO   Chapter 2050

    Yvonne closed her eyes and decided to stop struggling altogether.Since she and Edwin had already made everything so clear between them, there was no point in continuing to entangle themselves here.Besides, she had more important things to deal with, not wasting time circling around each other like this.“I still want to hear it from you.”After saying that, Edwin pulled the car over to the side of the road. He turned his head and fixed his gaze on Yvonne.Yvonne took a deep breath, knowing there was no way to avoid this anymore.From childhood to adulthood, she had always known Edwin was an obsessive person.He had his own principles in everything he did. No matter how others tried to persuade him, unless he truly realized something was impossible, he would never give up on his own.Otherwise, he would keep pushing, clinging on until he hit a wall and had no choice but to turn back.It was precisely because of Edwin’s obsession that Yvonne had never liked him growing up.Instead, she

    In his view, what mattered most was whether Yvonne was willing.After all these years, she had finally let go of the past—and it happened just as Lucas got married. How could Edwin possibly walk away from an opportunity like that?To Edwin, this chance was hard-won. If he gave it up so easily, wouldn’t that be the same as giving up his youth?With that thought, Edwin found it impossible to hand Yvonne over to anyone else.He had held on for so many years, and now, at last, there was an opportunity. If he truly did that, who would benefit from him giving it up?He also understood that Yvonne’s return to the country this time must have been for her own reasons, but Edwin refused to acknowledge it.He firmly believed that what existed between him and Yvonne was different. The two of them shared a memory that could never be severed.Compared to others, he still held far more advantages.“You really don’t come back often. So why did you return this time?”Edwin asked, and the atmosphere bet

    “Mm.”Yvonne responded softly and said nothing more.The rest of the drive passed in silence.In the corner she could not see, Edwin quietly curled his lips into a smile.Being able to sit in the same car already exceeded his expectations. To him, it was an obvious step forward.In the past, Yvonne had always kept him at arm’s length, and it was clear they would never have reached this point.Now that she was willing to change her stance and share a car with him, that alone was no small thing.Edwin believed change came little by little. He could not expect everything to happen at once.The fact that Yvonne had shown this shift was already rare enough. The rest could come slowly.As long as they could sit down and talk calmly, it was a major improvement. His expectations were no longer as high as before.All he wanted was for the two of them to talk things through properly. If they did, there was always a chance to return to how things used to be.More importantly, they shared decades

    After they parted ways, he asked Yvonne if she wanted to ride in his car.At first, Yvonne did not plan to refuse, but after thinking it over, she felt she should keep some distance from him now.After all, she had already spoken to Philip about dissolving the arrangement between her and him.They were just friends. Nothing beyond that was possible.With everything stated so clearly, riding in the same car felt awkward.Besides, a car was an enclosed space, and they would inevitably end up talking about uncomfortable topics.Before even getting in, Yvonne could already imagine how awkward it would be.So, she quickly waved her hand, politely declining his offer.“Forget it. I’ll take a cab later. I don’t want to trouble you.”“It’s no trouble. Just get in.”Seeing her deliberately keep her distance, he felt a quiet discomfort settle in his chest.Sometimes, he could not understand what he had done wrong. He simply liked someone—was there really anything wrong with that?In times like t

    Edwin gave a slight nod, showing no objection at all.In his view, it was only a meeting. Everything else would be easy enough. Besides, he was Philip’s most favored child, and also the youngest.How could these people possibly not dote on him?There was still plenty of information about the Carter family circulating online, so Edwin felt completely at ease about it.“Thank you, Edwin. Leaving this to you puts my mind at ease.”This time, Yvonne was genuinely grateful, the sincerity in her eyes almost spilling over.She knew this matter was simple for Edwin.Still reminding herself that he had truly helped her twice today. No one could say otherwise, and no one could question it.“Once this is settled, I’ll treat you to a meal.”Yvonne looked at Edwin seriously as she said it.But Edwin did not think much of it. After all, it was just a small favor at best.He only invoked the Carter family name to secure the meeting with the director, without exercising any personal authority of his o

  • Dumping My Ex to Flash Marry the Untouchable CEO   Chapter 2045

    Edwin had already guessed what Yvonne wanted his help with.If she were not completely cornered, she would never have asked him.He knew very well how she probably saw him now.At best, he came off like a brute, showing up late at night to pressure her parents about marriage, then crossing the line from friend to pursuer.The thought made his chest tighten.He did not believe Yvonne returned to the country just to avoid him.She must have gone through other things.If avoiding him were the only reason, why would she appear outside a media company?If he had not arrived in time, today could have ended in tragedy.Sometimes Edwin felt Yvonne was willful to a fault.Why could she not trust him?If she did, their lives would surely be easier than before.Yet her stubbornness often left him unsure how to deal with things afterward.“I need you to help me with something simple. I want to meet the owner of this media company.”This time, Edwin was the one taken aback.He had expected somethin
