Dumping My Ex to Flash Marry the Untouchable CEO의 모든 챕터: 챕터 2171 - 챕터 2180

Yvonne smacked her lips. “Don’t worry, I’ll remember it. Since we’re partners, we should trust each other more.”“That’s fine then. Come with me to meet Mr. Smith tomorrow.”Yvonne instinctively objected.She did not want to go see the director with Edwin.After all, the director had already dug up past issues today—who knew what else he might bring up next?If Edwin learned even more, she would have no dignity left at all.In front of Edwin, everything would be laid completely bare.How could she possibly be willing to let that happen?After thinking it over, Yvonne felt it would be better for Edwin to meet the director alone.No matter what, Edwin carried considerable influence in Ravenshore.Even if Edwin himself did not, the Carter family certainly did.It didn’t matter if people didn’t recognize Edwin—as long as they acknowledged the Carter family, that was enough.With that thought, Yvonne instinctively refused.“Let’s forget it. You can go alone. I’d just hold you back if I went

No matter how the other party changed, at the very least, she believed she could still keep him under control.But now, a sense of uncertainty had begun to creep into her heart.Why had his moods become so unpredictable, his words and actions so inconsistent?This side of him made it hard for her to make up her mind.Yvonne even started to regret it.Maybe she should have listened to her mother and never provoked Edwin in the first place.Otherwise, wasn’t she just asking for trouble?But now, there was no turning back once the bow had been drawn.No matter how much she regretted it, Edwin was not going to let her step off this path so easily.All Yvonne could do was take things one step at a time.…Edwin, of course, was just as dissatisfied with Yvonne’s behavior.Even though he had already seen through the fact that she was exploiting his temperament, there was little he could do about it now.Once an agreement had been made, how could he change it so easily?Besides, he had genuine

The assistant had to admit that this director was shrewd to the core.He never let himself take even the slightest loss, and everything he said or did was smooth and calculated.Even when the assistant tried to find fault, the man would instinctively play the victim.Left with no choice, the assistant gave an awkward cough. “Alright then. When you’re free, just send me a message an hour in advance. I’ll have Mr. Carter come over.”“Oh, thank you for your understanding,” the director replied politely.Yet on the other end of the line, his expression had turned icy.These people were all the same—used to throwing their weight around.If Edwin didn’t have money and influence, would he really be bullying people like this?More importantly, Edwin was related to Lucas.Their relationship was far closer than his own with Lucas.If he truly angered Edwin, what if Lucas stepped in on his behalf?That was something he couldn’t afford.He needed to find out where Lucas stood before deciding how t

A minor director wouldn’t dare act this arrogantly unless he had someone backing him—that was the only reason he felt so confident.Otherwise, what exactly was he relying on?Sure enough, Edwin really was sharper.There was a reason he was the boss.…The next day, the director called Aurora.He checked the time first. It should have been during her working hours, so he wouldn’t be interrupting her.Last night had been too late.Disturbing a couple’s private time would have been inappropriate.If that happened, Lucas might not have helped him either.That was precisely why the director had managed to hold his ground in the entertainment industry for so long.He was tactful, measured, and always knew where the line was.He never brought things up at the wrong time or setting.If time allowed and the matter wasn’t urgent, he always preferred to speak things through properly.As expected, Aurora picked up promptly this time.The moment the call connected, her slightly awkward voice came t

So, the director felt there was no need to take the risk of bringing Yvonne back into his show.Besides, Yvonne’s personality was already loud and domineering, bringing her in would only invite trouble.The director had no interest in doing something that brought effort without reward.It was precisely because he understood this so clearly that he refused to wade into these muddy waters.“Then the reason you called this time is…”Aurora asked, feigning ignorance.Of course, she knew exactly why the director had reached out.But in cooperation, one had to extend the olive branch at the right moment and guide the conversation, rather than laying everything bare first.Only then could one maintain the upper hand in negotiations instead of constantly giving ground.“Miss Walton, I know you have a connection with Edwin, so I was hoping you could help me.”Aurora lifted her brow slightly, a look of quiet confirmation crossing her face.The director, not hearing a response from her, felt his
