Dumping My Ex to Flash Marry the Untouchable CEO のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 1501 - チャプター 1510

She ended with an awkward smile. “It seems Miss Song has her own opinions about Miss Walton.“I’m just telling the truth. Besides, you can investigate Aurora Walton’s background yourselves, then look into the value of this show.”Yvonne declared, “I’ll be participating in this show too, but as a judge. When the time comes, I’ll see for myself whether Aurora Walton truly lives up to her reputation.”Her words stirred a commotion among the reporters.No one had expected such a dramatic scene right after Yvonne’s return to the country.Secrets among the upper class were never easy to uncover, yet this confrontation happened right in front of everyone.People began to wonder how Lucas, standing at the center of this storm, would react.The crowd’s curiosity grew even stronger, especially since the interview was being broadcast live, drawing countless viewers.Some had already rushed to comment on Frost & Clear Studio’s official page.At that moment, the official account of Ground Level Spa

Yvonne put on a modest front. “Don’t say things like that. He and I are just business partners. I came back only to see what kind of woman he chose to marry.”Edwin smiled faintly, saying nothing more.He knew Yvonne too well. For all her words, curiosity had clearly brought her back.Otherwise, why would she abandon her thriving company overseas and suddenly return?If not for Lucas, she probably wouldn’t have come back at all.Her career abroad was far more promising, and her foundation was firmly established there.For her to return now, it had to mean something significant.Thinking of what had just happened, Edwin turned to her and said, “Aren’t you worried Lucas might come after you for what you just said?”After all, Aurora was now officially the Carter family’s daughter-in-law, and her identity was public.If anyone chose to stir trouble, Yvonne’s words just now could easily be seen as an insult to the Carters.But Yvonne didn’t seem the least bit concerned.If she dared to act

Lucas noticed the hesitation on Desmond’s face and frowned. “What’s wrong with you? You look like you have something to say but can’t get it out.”“I don’t know if I should say it,” Desmond admitted.Lucas let out a cold scoff. “Don’t keep things bottled up. If you keep acting so hesitant, how do you expect to accomplish anything like that?”Desmond was speechless.So much for trying to be considerate—he’d only ended up being scolded for it. Was it wrong to care about his boss’ mood?In the end, Desmond gave up.He simply handed his phone to Lucas. “Sir, it’s not that I was hesitating. I just didn’t know how to bring this up to you.”He hadn’t expected Yvonne to be so bold, openly challenging Lucas’ authority online.Even though Lucas and Aurora hadn’t officially announced their relationship, everyone in their circle already knew about it.Clearly, Yvonne didn’t take it seriously at all. She must have no idea how important Aurora really was to him.Lucas took the phone and glanced thro

Lucas let out a cold laugh. “For the sake of our years of partnership, I’ll let this slide. But if it happens again, I won’t forgive her. I’m telling you now, and I’ll be calling her later to make it clear.”Edwin’s expression darkened slightly. He tried to sound tactful. “Lucas, you’ve worked together for years. Don’t you think this might be a bit harsh?”“What’s harsh about it? Did she consider how Aurora or I would feel before she acted?”Lucas’ voice was sharp and firm. “Uncle, don’t forget, Aurora is my wife. Should I not defend her in public and instead defend a business partner?”Hearing that, Edwin didn’t know what to say.So, in Lucas’ mind, Yvonne was nothing more than a partner.Did she really mean nothing else to him?From Yvonne’s perspective, that truth would be painful. She had stayed by his side for years, remained single, and rejected countless suitors, all for him.Yet now, in Lucas’ eyes, she was just a regular collaborator.Edwin couldn’t tell whether he felt reliev

No matter how much he disliked Aurora, he still had to protect the family’s reputation.He never forgot the lessons Philip had drilled into him.The family had stood strong for generations because the younger ones always obeyed their elders.Besides, the main and branch lines weren’t closely connected.Each branch managed its own business, so they rarely interfered with one another, and that was the key.Their independence was what kept the family unshaken, because everyone had their own responsibilities.Anyone born into the Carters wasn’t allowed to live idly.That was Philip’s most important rule.Most family members were sent out to live independently by sixteen, learning how to survive on their own.Nearly all of them built their careers from scratch.Each knew how to manage their own enterprises, so money was never a concern.They had to rely on themselves to stand firm in the family; otherwise, they’d be left behind.Because of that rule, everyone kept striving upward, never dar
