Semua Bab Dumping My Ex to Flash Marry the Untouchable CEO: Bab 1711 - Bab 1720

He’d come to realize that her name carried real weight abroad.So, no matter what, he still had to give her some level of respect.She had come to him personally—if word got out, anyone would think he was the one being sought after.With that in mind, he finally nodded.“Go on then. I want to hear what exactly you’re planning.”Yvonne let out a soft laugh and leaned in a little, closing the distance between them.Joseph instinctively stepped back.“Talk if you want, but why do you have to stand so close?”She stared at him, speechless.What was wrong with this man? She only leaned in because she didn’t want to say certain things too loudly.Staying closer felt safer.Why was he reacting like she had ulterior motives?Did he seriously think she liked him?The thought was so ridiculous even she almost snorted.Was this man delusional?“Are you crazy?”The moment she said it, Joseph realized how strange he’d been acting.How could he say something so absurd to her?Even if she leaned in,

He never expected that the woman he once called a lunatic would now turn around and help him. The world really worked in strange ways.“Why don’t we exchange contact info?”Joseph offered first.For now, it was the only way to keep her tied to this plan.If she made a promise and he agreed—then how was he supposed to reach her afterward?That would be ridiculous.“You’re right.”Yvonne pulled out her phone, opened her QR code, and held it out to him with an approving look.“Didn’t expect you to catch on this quickly.”He didn’t argue. At this point, desperation made him willing to grab any lifeline.So he didn’t argue with her; he simply went along with whatever she wanted.“All set. Here’s your phone.”He handed her phone back.Compared to their earlier hostility, the atmosphere between them had softened considerably.“We’ve exchanged contact info. That should ease your mind, right?”She saw right through him. She knew he didn’t trust her yet, which was why he wanted their connection

Hearing those words, Edwin found it almost laughable.Then he slowly turned around, walked up to Yvonne, and looked down at her from above.Their height difference was nearly half a head, and standing in front of her, he carried an overwhelming presence.It left Yvonne struggling to breathe.When she tried to step back, he grabbed her wrist and pulled her straight into his arms.“So, where exactly are you trying to go?”Yvonne was running out of patience.“I don’t care how you got here, but you need to leave right now.”She drew in a steadying breath. “I really don’t have the time to deal with you.”Only now did she finally understand why those people had been so respectful toward her.It was because they had all seen Edwin.Back when she first created this studio, Edwin had helped her for a while.During that period, they were practically inseparable.And anything she couldn’t say herself, he said for her.In the end, the two of them had played the role of good cop and bad cop well en

Yvonne hadn’t even finished speaking before Edwin cut her off.“Enough. You don’t need to say all that. I know exactly what you mean.”His expression grew even colder.“You’re saying all this just to tell me there’s no possibility between us, right?”He gave a dry, humorless laugh. “No need to pat me on the head and call me a nice guy. I know exactly what you’re thinking.”Yvonne went quiet, lifting a hand to awkwardly rub the tip of her nose.She hadn’t expected him to understand everything so clearly. Didn’t that mean he’d seen straight through her earlier attempts to soften the blow?The thought made her feel even more embarrassed.“Since you already know everything, then there’s no need for me to go on.”She glanced toward her office and deliberately said, “As you can see, I don’t have anything here to host you with. I just got back from overseas, and you know that. Why don’t you head back first? Once I settle in, I’ll definitely treat you properly later.”“I came all the way from

“Megan, you’re right. When we’ve got resources, we need to use them.”Aurora agreed with her completely.“I know. I really do regret how I handled things before.”Seeing how serious Aurora looked, Megan immediately realized she had misunderstood her point.“Oh no, that’s not what I meant. I’m just saying that when we have resources, we should use them early, not wait until everything is falling apart.”Megan smoothed her hair and spoke earnestly.“In this industry, if you’re not climbing upward, someone else will happily step on you to get ahead.”At that, her expression suddenly turned serious.“And when that happens, you won’t even have a place to cry about it.”Hearing that, Aurora also felt the weight of the situation.If she hadn’t woken up in time, she would still be stressing over the judging issue.But with Lucas’s help, everything had gone smoothly.The show could proceed as planned, and her goal of gaining exposure for the studio was already on track.Everything was lining up
