"Aurora, you have to believe me! I really have no interest in the Vanguard Group project. If you secure it, Iโd be genuinely happy for you, I swear!" Aurora looked at Lucy, pressing her lips together before giving her a firm pat on the shoulder. "Lucy, donโt worry. I understand. Weโve worked together long enoughโI know what kind of person you are." Hearing this, Lucyโs eyes welled up with tears. In the office, she had always been the kind of person who gave more than she received. She was warm and helpful, always the one people turned to when they needed water refilled or documents printed. Yet once, when something went missing, she was the first suspect. That moment shook her. She had asked why, and the response was something she never expected. They said that because she got along with everyone, she had more opportunities to steal than anyone else. In that instant, Lucy had felt the weight of human malice. Still, she never let it dull her warmth toward life. So,

Aurora arrived at the office the next day.The moment she reached her desk, she noticed the subtle yet lingering glances coming from Lindaโs direction.A faint smile tugged at the corners of her lips.She powered on her computer and casually took a seat, pretending not to notice the stares from across the room.Linda finally let out a quiet sigh of relief.She was busy skimming through the files on her USB driveโall of them Auroraโs project plans.โAurora Walton, just you wait. Once I tweak these a little, theyโll all be mine.โHer plan was simple.โOnce I present this proposal in the meeting, letโs see how you explain yourself. With everyone watching, not even the project manager will be able to protect you.โLucy, having noticed Lindaโs odd behavior, swiveled her chair toward Aurora and whispered, "Aurora, donโt you think Lindaโs acting strange?"Aurora feigned ignorance. "What do you mean?""Itโs justโฆ" Lucy hesitated, uncertain. "She keeps staring at you. Like, a lot."Aurora gave

Not only did Linda refuse to apologize, but she even curled her lips into a mocking smile. Just thinking about the proposal in her USB drive filled her with excitement. She was about to take over this project and push Aurora out of the wayโwhat was there to be worried about? Once she secured this deal, she could do whatever she wanted in the company. If she really won the project, sheโd be hailed as a major contributor to Walton Corporation. So, what if she bumped into Aurora? Why should she bother apologizing? Lucy was furious. "What kind of person does that? She ran into you and didnโt even say sorry? Thatโs just shameless! No way, Iโm going to confront her! Linda is getting ruder by the day!" She angrily rolled up her sleeves, ready to storm over and give Linda a piece of her mind. But Aurora stopped her just in time, shaking her head slightly. "Donโt be impulsive, Lucy. "Sheโs not worth it. Besides, we have a meeting to attend. Securing the Vanguard Group project

Aurora remained silent, resting her right hand against her chin as she lazily observed Linda.Every now and then, she lifted her gaze, exuding the air of a relaxed Persian catโelegant yet indifferent.Linda carefully studied Auroraโs expression. Seeing her so calm and composed, she couldnโt help but clench her fists.โFine, Aurora Walton, enjoy your arrogance while you can. In a moment, you wonโt be able to say a word. โLetโs see what you amount to once this proposal is mine in front of the manager,โ Linda thought.With an air of confidence, Linda strode onto the stage, her chin lifted high.Aurora found it utterly amusing.As soon as Linda plugged her USB drive into the computer and projected the proposal onto the screen, a glint of realization flashed in Auroraโs eyes.Just as expected.So, Linda really did steal her proposal.Aurora showed no obvious reactionโshe merely raised an eyebrow, a faint, unreadable smile playing at her lips.It was as if she hadnโt even noticed Lindaโs p

"Because you are not even qualified for this proposal." Aurora slowly stood up, her delicate face indifferent. She watched as Linda jumped around, as if watching a clown performing at a circus. Linda clenched her fists, her expression filled with indignation. "What do you mean by that?" Her face suddenly twisted with rage. "You must be jealous of my proposal, that's why you're saying this. Aurora, youโre so petty." At first, Linda was a little afraid when she saw Aurora stand up. But the next second, she suddenly remembered that she had already transferred Auroraโs documents. And she had spoken first. No matter how angry Aurora was, what difference would it make? Whoever presented the proposal first owned it. The project manager also turned to look at Aurora, his eyes darkening slightly as he considered the situation. "Aurora, you mean to say..." "Mr. Gardener!" Linda couldn't help but shriek, interrupting him. "Aurora is slandering a colleague! Why are you still g

After flinging Linda aside, Aurora gracefully took out a wet wipe and carefully wiped her fingers, one by one. That action only infuriated Linda even more. Once she recovered, she charged forward, ready to confront Aurora. "Aurora, you bitch! How dare you! I wonโt let this go!" Her mind was consumed by rage. At this moment, she had completely forgotten that she was the one who stole someone else's work in the first place. But just as she was about to pounce, Ben stepped forward and grabbed her, speaking with righteous conviction. "Alright, Linda, weโre all colleagues. Thereโs no need to make things so embarrassing. Besides, maybe Aurora had a reason for doing this." The moment he said that, many people sensed something was off. Aurora, however, simply stated, "Of course I have my reasons. Lindaโs proposal was plagiarized from the start." "Bullshit!" Having her secret exposed was like having the last shred of her dignity ripped away. Her voice grew louder. "You have t

Linda couldn't help but sneer. "Ha, just an empty bluff. I'd love to see what you can actually show us!" Aurora ignored her and continued opening the PowerPoint presentation. A brand-new proposal appeared on the screen. Not only was it more refined than Lindaโs, but it was also meticulously detailedโright down to the fact that the celebrities had already been contacted. Auroraโs cool voice rang out steadily, "What Linda stole was just my initial draft.""But thisโthis is my final version. The hot spring resort can't just focus on luxury; we also need to consider accessibility for most families. Thatโs why my final proposal is broader in scope and far more feasible."As for the brand collaboration, Iโm already in negotiations and have made substantial progress with them." As soon as she finished speaking, the room erupted into applause. Everyone stood up and clapped for her, their appreciation genuine. The applause was even louder than when Linda had presented her so-calle

"Please, Miss Walton, forgive me! I was wrongโI swear, it wonโt happen again!" "Oh? There will be a next time?" Aurora narrowed her sharp eyes slightly, her expression unmoved by Lindaโs desperate pleas. She was no saint. If she hadnโt been prepared, she might not have been able to turn the situation around today. And what if the person Linda had tried to replace wasnโt her, but some inexperienced intern? That personโs career might have been completely ruined. At that thought, a cold light flashed in Auroraโs eyes. Linda frantically shook her head. "No, no, Miss Walton! This was the only time, I swear! Iโll never do it again!" Tears and snot streamed down her face as she sobbed. But not a single person in the room spoke up for her. Clearly, she wasnโt well-liked to begin with. Lucy, on the other hand, felt incredibly satisfied. She had been itching to speak up earlier, but Aurora had held her back. Now, she realized Aurora had been saving this as her final mov

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

Aurora nodded as Grace spoke. "Alright, Mom. I understand." But Grace could tell she hadnโt really taken her words to heart. She couldnโt help but add, "This was your choice, Aurora. No one can walk it for you. "If itโs the path you chose, then you have to stick with it. What truly matters is the two of you are doing well." Aurora lowered her gaze. She understood exactly what her mother was getting at. It was just like the past when she chose to be with Joseph. "I get it, Mom. You should get some rest. Iโm an adult now." She tucked a loose strand of hair behind her ear and looked at her mother, speaking clearly and steadily. "Donโt worry. I can handle a lot more than you think." Grace felt a flicker of comfort in her heart. "Thatโs good. Our little Rora really has grown up." Aurora froze for a moment when she heard that. It had been a long time since her mother had called her by her nickname, and she wasnโt quite used to it.Grace noticed the way her daughter paus

Aurora shut the door behind her, completely unaware of Tessaโs furious muttering downstairs. Not that it wouldโve matteredโshe couldnโt care less. Tessa was only acting this arrogant because their mother wasnโt home. Without anyone to answer her, Tessa sat fuming alone in the living room, her cheeks flushed with anger. She raised her hand, ready to sweep everything off the coffee table in a fit of rage when Grace walked through the front door. "Whatโs wrong, Tessa? Your face is all red. Are you feeling unwell?" No matter what her daughter had done at those business events, Grace couldnโt bring herself to stay mad. Tessa was still her child, the one sheโd doted on since she was little. Even if she was upset, she couldnโt truly be angry with her. Tessa was briefly caught off guard.She quickly pulled herself together and responded to her motherโs concern. "Iโm fine, Mom, really. Aurora just got back, and I was a little worried something mightโve happened to her out th

"This ungrateful brat!" The assistant beside him spoke up timidly, "Mr. Hunt, should we find a way to get the Mr. Joseph out?" "Of course!" Melvin looked furious, burning with shame. "At a time like this, what else can we do but get him out?" No matter how disgraceful his son was, once the news got out, it would be the Hunt familyโs reputation on the line. What would happen to Hunt Enterprisesโ stocks then? He couldnโt afford to take that risk. Seeing Melvinโs expression ease a little, the assistant finally breathed a sigh of relief and went off to find someone to figure out how to get Joseph out. Joseph was already in jail but still hadnโt fully processed what had happened. Aurora had really thrown him straight into jail like that? "Hey! Let go of me!" Joseph yelled at the officers. "Do you even know who I am? How dare you treat me like this!" One of the officers rolled his eyes. "I donโt care who you are. If youโve broken the law, youโre not getting away with it.

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 dressโso sweet and shy. โYou were always so gentle and soft when you were with meโฆ 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 himโshe hadnโt 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 womanโthis ungrateful bitchโcould still be so heartless.His eyes darkened. He

Auroraโs 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 couldnโt stand the smugness in her expression. Grinding his teeth, he snapped, "You think you can just cut me off like that? Itโs not gonna be that easy!"Aurora, we were together for three years. Donโt forget, Iโve seen everything. You're not afraid Iโll 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, youโre doing this on purpose, arenโt you?"The sudden sound startled her. She hadnโt even noticed someone standing nearby.Steadying herself, Aurora looked up, only to be met with Josephโs face, dark and twisted with resentment."Well, look whoโs changed careers," she said dryly, unable to resist the jab.Joseph blinked, caught off guard. "Whatโs 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, Josephโs expression twisted. The fresh style heโd worked so hard on couldnโt hide the rage contorting his face. "What the hell does that mean? I ca
