《Dumping My Ex to Flash Marry the Untouchable CEO》全部章節：第 1301 章 - 第 1310 章

"Alright, Mom."Joseph said this and sat straight down on the chair.But Melvin, sitting nearby, found him an eyesore.He always looked at him with disdain, lounging on the sofa with his phone in hand, no one knew what he was even looking at.Joseph lowered his eyes, trying hard to suppress the emotions inside.His hand, hanging by his side, was tightly clenched. He thought it was better to avoid trouble than create more of it.After all, he didn’t come home often—just one meal, hardly worth turning it into a standoff.But while Joseph thought this way, his parents didn’t, especially Melvin. The moment Joseph sat at the table, his father’s temper flared."I’ve seen the news online lately. How are you handling it?" As soon as Melvin sat down, his voice came sharp and accusing.Joseph’s face darkened, but he still replied, "I know about it. It’s true I didn’t handle it well this time, but I’ll make sure to deal with it properly from now on.""And how exactly will you deal with it?" Melv

Hearing Crystal’s question, Joseph’s gaze suddenly grew unfocused. "Right now, I don’t know either.""Don’t give me that crap!" Melvin slammed the table. "Now you come running to me for help? When I handed you the branch, I made it clear that no matter what happens, don’t come looking for me. You’re already an adult. You come here now, what is it you expect me to fix for you?"A flicker of shame crossed Joseph’s face, but he still pressed on. "But with the company, I truly can’t manage anymore. Father, I have to admit, my ability only goes this far. Even if you force me to do things I don’t want to do, I still won’t have a way."I’m not asking for much. I just hope you can lend me a hand, help me with this company. I really can’t hold on any longer."If Judy’s name hadn’t come up, it might have been different. But now that it had, his mind was filled with nothing but her.Even under Melvin’s furious glare, he said it outright. "If possible, you can take back the power in my hands. I w

After Joseph settled in, he planned to adjust his routine before going to find Judy, to ask her why she had chosen to provoke him like this.Wasn’t being with him good enough?A shadow flickered in Joseph’s eyes. Although he still had deep feelings for Judy now, that was no excuse for her games of playing hard to get.In a cold voice he muttered, "When I find you, you’d better be ready to face the consequences."…Meanwhile.Back home.Aurora’s studio was running full steam.But online, photos of Lucas suddenly began spreading like wildfire.They were all from the ribbon-cutting ceremony that day.During this time Aurora had learned to keep an eye on comments online, so she was sensitive to what was trending. She quickly noticed the wave of reactions.At first, the comments were all praising Lucas for being incredibly handsome, his face like something out of a dream.Aurora couldn’t help but feel a surge of pride as she read the comments. Lucas was her husband—every compliment for him

"No, nothing. My chat with her’s been quiet the whole time.""Alright, that’s all."With that, Lucas hung up, leaving Megan staring blankly at her phone in bed.She ruffled her messy hair, confused as she looked at the screen.What on earth was wrong with her cousin now?After grumbling to herself for a moment, she flopped back down and buried her head under the covers.Today was supposed to be a rare day off. Ever since the studio opened, she’d been busy nonstop, and now her cousin had to disturb her again.The thought made her impatient, but since it was family, she didn’t complain further.Little did she know, while she snored away, her cousin was pacing the floor in frustration.Even though Lucas knew Aurora hadn’t messaged Megan, he couldn’t shake his unease. Should he take the initiative and confess?But was now the right time? Even if he admitted everything, would Aurora forgive him?Or would she blame him for hiding it from her all along?No, that wasn’t the point. Why had he h

Since she didn’t want to drink, that was the end of it.On the way home, Aurora was still turning over everything about Lucas in her mind.She couldn’t be sure if what she saw online was true or false, but she knew one thing—if she didn’t get an answer tonight, there was no way she’d rest easy.She was never good at bottling things up. If she went to bed with doubts hanging over her, she wouldn’t sleep a wink.When she arrived home, she noticed the lights in the villa were already on. She immediately understood—Lucas must have come back.Glancing at her phone, she saw that ever since the report had appeared online, she hadn’t received a single message.So, did Lucas really not know about it?That didn’t make sense. If he truly was the CEO of Vanguard Group, surely his people would have seen the news and told him.How could there be no reaction at all?Thinking back, Aurora suddenly remembered all those times she went to Vanguard Group for meetings, only to find Lucas there.He had brus
