Semua Bab Dumping My Ex to Flash Marry the Untouchable CEO: Bab 451 - Bab 460

Julian watched Albert flare up in frustration, yet still failing to get to the point. That made him anxious too.“Dad, then what should we do now?”Carol was just as tense and couldn’t help but glance toward Albert.Faced with both their stares, Albert snapped.“Why are you both staring at me? Is there something on my face?”“You never try thinking of a solution yourselves. The moment something happens, you just look at me. Completely useless.”To be honest, Albert’s words were harsh—he dragged Carol into it too.Her temper flared up immediately. “What’s that supposed to mean?”“He’s not just my son. And this company isn’t mine alone. Why are you acting like everything was done for my sake?”Hearing that, Albert’s temper exploded too.The two of them started arguing on the spot.Watching them go at it, Julian felt a pounding behind his temples.Neither of his parents was reliable. Not even now when everything was already falling apart. All they did was fight, not a single useful ide

It had to be said that everything Lily said hit the mark. She had nailed Julian’s current state down to the last detail, without missing a beat.She had seen through every blow he’d taken and frustration he’d buried.Watching the unhappy look on Julian’s face, Lily knew she’d won this round. There was no doubt about it.If nothing else, she was an excellent judge of character.“What’s the matter?” she asked, her voice laced with sweetness. “Did I strike a nerve?”Her smile was sultry, dangerously beautiful—even dressed in tattered clothes, she looked like a ravaged goddess.And in the next second, Julian’s hand was around her throat.His voice dropped to a menacing whisper against her ear. “You’ve got a death wish, don’t you? If that’s what you want, I can help.”His grip slowly tightened.For a moment, he genuinely wanted to kill her.Lily’s face turned ashen, her breathing cut off. But she didn’t struggle. Instead, she forced herself to speak—slowly, word by word.“I bet… you won

Her reaction caught Joseph off guard and left him wounded.After everything he’d gone through for Judy, he hadn’t expected her to push him away the moment she saw him.He stared at her, disbelief written all over his face. “Judy, what’s that supposed to mean?”“Did you mistake me for someone else? Look at me, really look. Do you even know who I am?”He pointed to his own face, as if that would somehow remind her.Judy, however, couldn’t help feeling a twinge of disgust at the sight of him—unkempt and scruffy. And the flicker of affection she’d felt earlier? She regretted every bit of it.What had she been thinking?She must’ve been starving to even consider this man appetizing. Compared to the Joseph of the past, this version had lost every ounce of charm.“I know exactly who you are. Just calm down,” she said coolly.These past days had opened her eyes. She’d seen a bigger world, realized there were always higher mountains and better people.Joseph? He no longer measured up.At the

It was the kind of thing that, if she repeated it out loud, even Judy wouldn’t believe it herself.“I…” Joseph hesitated, scratching the back of his head with an awkward smile, clearly unsure how to begin.Judy raised an eyebrow at the sight. “What are you being shy about now?”She didn’t hesitate to ask. Now that her rose-colored filter was gone, she looked at Joseph the same way she’d look at any other man—nothing more, nothing less.Pressed by her directness, Joseph finally started explaining everything he’d been up to these past few days.“I’ve actually been working at my family’s company. But I kept my identity hidden. No one knows who I really am.”“And?” Judy still didn’t quite buy it. A pampered heir working under the radar? Really?“It was something I asked my father for. I don’t want to drift through life anymore. I want to be with you sooner, and I know I have to earn it.”He paused before continuing, his voice steadier this time. “If I want to take over the company, I hav

He couldn’t keep drifting like this—lost, aimless, going nowhere.It wasn’t a solution. It wasn’t a life.As soon as he got back, Joseph marched straight into the company and went to find his father.“Dad, I don’t want to hide my identity anymore.”The words barely left his mouth before Albert’s blood pressure practically skyrocketed. “You ungrateful brat. What the hell are you talking about?”“So now everything’s on your terms? Should I just hand you the keys to the company and walk out?”Joseph took the verbal lashing without protest. “Alright, alright. I know I messed up. Just stop yelling, old man. I get it. But you can relax this time. I swear I’ll handle things properly. I won’t mess it up again.”He held up three fingers solemnly. “I swear, this is the last time.”Albert looked like he might pass out. He patted his chest to calm himself, mumbling under his breath, “He’s my son. My only son. I can’t kill him.”He was, after all, the Hunt family’s one and only heir.“So?” Albert
