All Chapters of Dumping My Ex to Flash Marry the Untouchable CEO: Chapter 321 - Chapter 330

Wendy slammed her hand on the desk. "What are you spacing out for? If Walton Corporation’s already involved, how can we afford to fall behind?""What exactly is the project about?" she asked, fixing her gaze on the assistant.“It’s mainly a plot of land overseas. Aurora plans to develop a new project there. At first, Walton’s top executives didn’t support it,” the assistant explained, then added with a note of admiration.“But I have to say, Aurora really is a business prodigy. Even without the backing of the board, she carved out her own path and…”He stopped abruptly the moment he met Wendy’s eyes.The rest of his sentence that praised Aurora died in his throat.How could he forget that Wendy couldn’t stand Aurora? Even if he wanted to compliment her, this clearly wasn’t the time or place.Now that the words were out, there was no taking them back.Wendy looked at him with a half-smile, the kind that made his spine stiffen. "Go on. What were you going to say?"He fell silent immedia

Kenneth stared at the phone screen for a long time after the call ended, frozen in place before finally picking up again and dialing his assistant.“Look into John York from LC Corporation. Report any movement or activity to me directly.”“Yes, sir. Leave it to me.”With that, the call ended.Kenneth’s gaze darkened.This time, he would meet John in person.He wanted to see for himself whether the man lived up to the rumors of being a powerful force in the industry.Without John, Walton Corporation was just another small, unremarkable name.That thought alone lifted his mood."Don’t worry, sister," he thought. "I’ll handle what you asked personally."...Walton Corporation.“Have you heard? There’s a problem with the overseas project!”“What? I thought everything was going smoothly?”“Exactly! What happened? Our general manager and that director, John, already confirmed the collaboration at the banquet—how could there suddenly be issues?”The office was buzzing with speculation. No one

John’s assistant had completely dropped his previously polite façade.He was now wearing a look of smug arrogance.“If you’re really here on behalf of your Miss Walton, then why doesn’t she come herself? Why send someone so... insignificant?”Ian clenched his fists, jaw tight with restraint. “I’m her sole assistant,” he said through gritted teeth. “I am representing her.”The man scoffed, switching to crisp foreign language as if to assert dominance. “Then have her come in person. That’s Mr. John’s instruction.”With that, he turned and disappeared back into the office, not sparing another glance at the man still standing outside.Ian stood frozen, fuming. But there was nothing he could do.He knew that kind of boldness didn’t come from Ian alone, someone like that wouldn’t dare speak this way unless John himself had given the order.Left with no choice, he returned to Walton Corporation, irritation simmering under his skin. He relayed everything, word for word, to Aurora.She rested

Aurora narrowed her eyes. “So that’s it? You’re ready to betray me?”“Eh?” John let out a low chuckle, shaking his head. “Why call it betrayal? I’m simply adjusting the costs accordingly.“You’re well aware of LC’s reputation in the international market. Doing business with your company was already a gamble on our part.”Aurora sat there quietly, watching him talk. “And?”“So, I’ve just raised the project cost within what I believe to be a reasonable range.”“Hah. John, don’t you think that sounds absolutely ridiculous?” Aurora shot back without holding back.She was genuinely stunned by how shameless he was.She chose LC because she saw potential in the company. Yet in the end, all he cared about was profit, and worse, he dared to hike up the price halfway through negotiations.She’d definitely miscalculated.Her fingers curled slowly into a fist, fury simmering beneath her cool gaze.John, watching the way her composure began to crack, actually looked pleased.Wasn’t this woman sup

That money belonged to the company. She didn’t think it was wise to invest it all into the project—what if it all ended up being for nothing? If that happened, all the project’s available cash would be tied up, and the losses later would be even worse.Aurora pressed her lips together. A situation like this wasn’t something that could be salvaged afterward.That was exactly why, after thinking it through, she realized that partnering with John had probably been a misstep.She didn’t even know why, but panic started creeping in. She felt lost, unsure of what to do next.It was the first time her assistant had ever seen Aurora like this. He had no idea how to help her."But Miss Walton, if we don’t use that money, what do we do about the overseas project?" he asked, his voice tinged with urgency. They couldn’t just keep dragging this out.This was a double-edged sword. The longer they stalled, the more time and energy both sides would waste. In the end, forget making a profit—whe
