All Chapters of Dumping My Ex to Flash Marry the Untouchable CEO: Chapter 1241 - Chapter 1250

Especially with Tessa at her side—wasn’t this clearly a visit to hold her accountable?Aurora let out a cold laugh. “Of course I didn’t prepare beforehand. I was working diligently in Walton Corporation all this time, as you should know very well, Mom.“But if you insist on slandering me, then I have nothing more to say. After all, you hold all the power. Whatever I say doesn’t matter.”“So now you think you’re too big to be told what to do?” Grace slammed her hand on the table, her face darkening.Seeing this side of Grace left Megan even more shocked. She tugged gently at Aurora’s sleeve and whispered, “See? I told you, Madam Grace isn’t the same as before.”Aurora had noticed it too. Grace had become far more irritable, and it was clear she came today just to condemn her. She wasn’t a fool—she could see perfectly well how others treated her.“Then tell me, Mom, why have you come here today?” Aurora asked.Grace glanced around before giving a cold snort. “The courtyard is already

Aurora’s heart warmed, her eyes misting as she looked at Megan.But in Grace’s eyes, the sight was nothing but a challenge to her authority.“What’s this? You two are so close that it makes me, your own mother, look like an outsider?” Grace demanded, her icy gaze sweeping over them both.Megan was about to speak, but Aurora stopped her.She stepped in front of Megan, her expression firm as she faced Grace. “I know you and I share blood, but Megan is the family I chose, even without that tie. To me, the two don’t conflict.“If you insist on pressing the matter, then as it stands now, I actually think Megan is more suited to be my family.”Grace’s eyes widened in fury at those words.She clutched her chest, staring at Aurora in disbelief.But Aurora had no intention of backing down. Grace could scold her, but dragging Megan into it was unacceptable. Megan had spoken up for her—if she was condemned for that too, wouldn’t that be far too unjust?Grace’s heart ached even more at this, he

That Ian could say such words was completely beyond Aurora’s expectations.She never thought of herself as the kind of person he described. At times, she even wanted to ask him—was all of this really worth it?Grace, too, hadn’t expected that someone would be so determined to stand by Aurora’s side.When she failed to sway Ian, she turned her fire back on Aurora.Pointing at her nose, Grace snapped, “So this is the kind of employee you bring up? Just to stand against Walton Corporation?”“Mom, this isn’t my doing.” Aurora smiled faintly. “Like Ian just said, he’s an adult. Whatever decisions he makes, he’s capable of owning them. Even if I tried to force him, it wouldn’t work.“Instead of questioning me here, maybe you should think about who is truly suited to be general manager, or better yet, how many projects the company can actually land these days.”Seeing the half-smile on Aurora’s face, Grace realized clearly—her daughter was deliberately standing against her.“You speak to me

Grace and Tessa’s faces both darkened in shock at his words.Megan couldn’t help clapping her hands. “Lucas, I think that’s the most righteous thing you’ve ever said.”Every word struck right to her heart, and even Aurora found herself nodding again and again. Some things were too hard to say to her own mother, but coming from Lucas, they fit perfectly.After all, though she was married to him, he was still only half a member of the Walton family. Even if he spoke so bluntly, no one dared touch him.Ian, too, looked at Lucas with open admiration. Earlier, he had worried that Grace and Tessa might bully Aurora. Now he realized those fears were unnecessary. With a man who truly loved her standing at her side, her future path would surely be smoother.Grace’s eyes widened, unable to process what he had just said. Was this really something a younger generation should dare to say to her?“You’re utterly unreasonable!” she shouted, jabbing a finger toward Lucas’ nose. “Speaking like that—

Aurora looked at Lucas seriously. “I’m really grateful you came today. If it weren’t for you, I honestly wouldn’t have known what to do.”Megan quickly chimed in, “Exactly, exactly. I didn’t expect you to show up at just the right time, Lucas.”For the two of them, facing Grace alone had been intimidating.Aurora, bound by blood ties, couldn’t speak too bluntly. And Megan, remembering the kind Grace from their childhood, didn’t know how to speak either.Those two layers of history made it impossible for them to deal with Grace without filters and barriers.Lucas only smiled at Megan’s words, giving her a simple reply. “It was just coincidence I came by. After all, with Aurora opening her studio, I hadn’t been here in so long. I thought I’d make time to check in.”“I didn’t expect to walk into something like this,” he added, his eyes never leaving Aurora as he spoke.Megan glanced at him and immediately felt like she was intruding. Catching Ian’s eye, she saw the same awkwardness mirror
