Lahat ng Kabanata ng Dumping My Ex to Flash Marry the Untouchable CEO: Kabanata 1761 - Kabanata 1770

“Don’t think I don’t know exactly what kind of people the Walton family are. They are a bunch of hypocrites, every last one of them.”Grace spoke with absolute conviction. “And back then, I was already in love with someone. They tore us apart. What was I supposed to do?”“So you and Dad ended up together because of an arranged marriage.”“Of course. And then, naturally, you were born.”“What about Tessa?”Aurora frowned, a sense of unease tightening in her chest.The moment Tessa’s name came up, Grace’s expression shifted—complicated and conflicted, caught between resentment and affection.Finally, she collapsed onto the sofa and began recounting everything from those years as Aurora stood right in front of her.“I never imagined he would get married so early.”Aurora didn’t need to ask who “he” was. She already knew.He had to be Tessa’s biological father.“So the person you loved back then… it was him?”“Yes. He and I had already promised our futures to each other. If it hadn’t been

But this was no longer about simple disagreements—it had already dug its way into old wounds from years ago.“Forget it, Mr. Lee. You don’t need to persuade me anymore. My mom and I both know where we stand.”Aurora let out a quiet, self-mocking laugh.“So many years have passed, and she still refuses to tell me the truth. No matter how hard I push now, it won’t change anything.”Hearing that, Arnold looked genuinely puzzled.“What happened between the two of you?”Aurora shook her head, clearly unwilling to say more.Some things could be shared, but they could never be placed entirely on someone else’s shoulders.Relying too much on others only ended up hurting yourself.And while Arnold’s advice made sense, it applied to ordinary mothers and daughters. What lay between her and Grace was a deeper divide—one that couldn’t be crossed unless she confronted Tessa directly.“Mr. Lee, go on with your work. I should head home.”Aurora steered the conversation away and walked toward the door.

Hearing that, Lucas was genuinely stunned.He never imagined something this messy would play out right in front of him."So, what do you plan to do now?"Before Aurora could answer, Lucas continued, "That man is practically circling like a wolf. Harsh as it sounds, he’s already eyeing your family’s company."If Tessa does something stupid, Walton Corporation could fall into complete ruin."The moment she heard the words “complete ruin,” Aurora clenched her hands tightly.When she finally spoke, her voice trembled."I don’t know what to do yet, but I can’t just stand by and watch the company be destroyed."No matter what, that company is still my mom’s life’s work. I’ve been there for almost a year too, and I’ve poured my own effort into it."Hearing that, Lucas already understood what she meant."If you need my help, just tell me anytime."Aurora nodded firmly. "I understand. But right now, I have to convince my mom. I can’t let her keep losing herself like this."In that case, we need

If that man truly intended to take Tessa away from her, then she needed to be fully prepared.Her own life could be thrown into the fire, but the Walton Corporation could never fall into his hands.Still, Grace had never believed that Sean would ever harm her.After all, they had once been so close that they’d practically promised each other a lifetime.If he truly meant to betray her, why say all those tender words back then?Could everything in the past really have been a lie?No matter what, Grace needed answers.But on Tessa’s end, she was far from cooperative. She was still busy with her own affairs.She had been dealing with Sean a great deal lately.Now that the man had given her certain assurances, she finally had her own life to live.She no longer needed to put up with Aurora’s attitude, and she refused to keep living in her shadow.So, these days, she had been tied up coordinating things with Sean.But now Grace was suddenly calling her home for no reason.Tessa felt relucta

Thinking about it, Tessa found the whole thing ridiculous.She finally understood that Grace was clearly doing this on purpose, picking a fight with her for no reason.“Mom, then I’ll say it again.”Tessa repeated herself patiently, her tone softening as she explained the same thing over and over.“I told you, I felt too stifled at home. I wanted to get out and see a bit more of the world. It helps me recover, too.“And if I’m home by myself, that doesn’t worry you?”Grace’s question caught her completely off guard.She had never asked anything like that before. Hearing her say it now was unexpected.“Of course I worry about you. But if anything happens, you can call me anytime.”Grace let out a humorless laugh.“Call you? Would you even pick up?”“Why wouldn’t I?”Tessa blurted out the answer without thinking.Something about her mother felt off today.The Grace she knew had always been composed, rational, and stern, but never unreasonable.Her questions had always been within bounds,
