When Megan saw that it was Aurora walking in, she couldn’t hold back her excitement anymore."Aurora, finally! I missed you like crazy!"Dressed head-to-toe in her studded outfit, she flung herself toward Aurora like she was about to tackle her with a hug.Aurora’s face instantly turned pale. "Megan, calm down! What the hell are you doing?"She gave Megan a look of utter disdain as her friend came barreling at her.Seeing Aurora’s serious expression, Megan backed off and raised her hands in surrender. "Alright, alright. No more jokes. Honestly, you really can’t take a little fun, can you?"She still grumbled under her breath, especially while staring at Aurora’s ever-composed face.But Aurora didn’t let the moment drag on. Before Megan got too tipsy, she decided to bring up what she actually came here for."Okay, listen. I didn’t just ask you out tonight for drinks."She had questions about Lucas.She hadn’t been able to find anything concrete on her own. So instead of spinning her

Lucas’ voice dropped, cold and steady. “So where is Aurora? I didn’t see her leave when I got here. Think carefully, where did she go?”Megan muttered under her breath, “It’s because you’re here. Even if she were around, she wouldn't show up.”Lucas’ chest tightened at that. “Why doesn’t she want to see me?”Megan avoided his eyes. “I don’t know. That’s between the two of you. You’ll have to ask her yourself.”With that, she turned to leave.This time, Lucas didn’t stop her. He just let her go, but not without a parting warning. “Next time you drag your cousin-in-law to a place like this, you’d better be ready for the consequences.”Megan flinched at his words, her back stiffening. Aurora was the one who invited her!Now she was getting scolded like it was all her fault.The more she thought about it, the more wronged she felt. But for the sake of sisterhood, she swallowed it all. If being the scapegoat meant protecting Aurora, she could live with that.She gave a half-hearted nod,

Grace’s smile never faded in the face of so much praise. Hearing the compliments from the people of Vanguard Group about Aurora gave her a sense of pride. After all, Aurora was her daughter—her upbringing and education were naturally reflected in that.With that in mind, Grace responded warmly to every kind word, not missing a single one.“Oh, Mr. Ben, you’re being far too kind. "She’s still young and needs more experience.”“No, no, she’s not nearly as good as you say.”“Yes, she’s ambitious and driven. Without that, no matter how much we try to push her forward, it wouldn’t have made a difference.”Grace never repeated herself, coming up with a different response for each compliment directed at Aurora. All of this was to lay a solid foundation for the Walton Corporation’s future success.Tessa was also at the company today. She stood off to the side, silently watching everything unfold, her hand tightening around her crocodile-skin purse. If not for her fresh manicure, her nail

One of the executives discreetly mentioned to Aurora that if this project was executed well, their boss might consider further collaboration down the line.Aurora’s eyes lit up. “Mr. Warden, are you serious?”He nodded confidently, clearly impressed by her. “Absolutely. Opportunities go to those who are prepared. If it were anyone else, I wouldn’t be saying this.”Aurora instantly understood what he was getting at—this project wasn’t just important; it was a potential game-changer.She nodded. “Got it. I’ll make sure to keep this one firmly in my hands.”Everyone there had full confidence in Aurora’s abilities, so there was no need to say more.Her career was blazing forward.Meanwhile, Tessa had been watching everything unfold from the shadows. Seeing Aurora thrive like this, how could she possibly stay content?Her thoughts drifted to Joseph, who had stopped her at the company’s entrance not long ago.That man could very well be her way in.Tessa’s red lips curled into a sly smile.

"I promised your father I’d keep an eye on you at home. Don’t even think about stepping out.""Mom, I really do have something important to take care of," Joseph explained anxiously.He knew Melvin had been watching him closely these past few days, but if they kept locking him in like this, he’d lose his chance. That woman was out there making a fortune, and he couldn’t even get a cent of it. And that wasn’t even the worst of it—what if another man started sniffing around Aurora?The thought alone made his stomach twist.Crystal, however, remained calm. "And what exactly is so important outside? Your father made it very clear. I’m to keep you inside, and you’d better behave."Hearing his mother’s firm tone, Joseph hesitated. But Tessa’s phone call was still ringing in his ears.He clenched his fists. He had to get out today, no matter what.Left with no other choice, Joseph decided to tell Crystal what he’d learned."Mom, do you know Aurora Walton?"He pulled up information on Walto
