《Dumping My Ex to Flash Marry the Untouchable CEO》全部章節：第 51 章 - 第 60 章

"It’s fine. I know you’re busy. I’m just glad you made it," Aurora replied with a soft smile, her tone filled with understanding. The sight of their intimate exchange, her gentle demeanor, his quiet attentiveness, made the onlookers gaze at them with open admiration. Even Grace, who had initially been observing with a critical eye, now regarded Lucas with newfound approval. But Tessa’s expression darkened. Her gaze shifted toward the luxury car parked outside. That man had just stepped out of it. If she wasn’t mistaken, that was the latest limited-edition model released not long ago. Only ten units existed nationwide, each carrying an astronomical price tag. Julian wanted to buy one as well, but they had sold out almost instantly. How could a man like him have one? By all appearances, Lucas was just some nameless pretty boy. Could it be that Aurora, desperate to keep up appearances, had spent a fortune renting the car just so her boy toy could drive it? The thought ma

Charl gave a slight nod at the question.Slipping on his gloves, he carefully ran his fingers over the surface of the vase, studying every detail.After a long pause, he finally looked up at Julian. "Mind telling me how much you paid for this?"Julian lifted his chin proudly, holding up a hand to indicate the sum. "As long as my mother-in-law likes it, no price is too high!"A collective gasp rippled through the crowd."Mr. Hayes really went all out this time. The generosity of the Hayes family is unmatched!""Truly extravagant!"Julian basked in the admiration, his lips curving into a self-satisfied smile. He turned to Charl. "So? There’s no flaw in my gift, right?"The elderly appraiser stroked his chin thoughtfully before squinting his eyes and shaking his head. "What a shame… Spending that much money, only to end up with a fake."The smile on Julian’s face froze.His throat tightened. "That’s impossible! I paid a fortune for this!"He gestured toward the other vase beside it. "If

Without sparing Lucas another glance, Aurora turned her back to him.She shut her eyes tightly, trying to calm the storm brewing inside her.Yet, despite herself, she strained her ears, listening for any movement behind her.Click.The lights went out, leaving only the soft glow of a wall lamp casting a warm hue over the room.Then, the mattress dipped beside her.Before lying down, Lucas carefully pulled the covers over her, as if afraid she would catch a chill.He figured she was upset, likely dwelling on the unpleasant events at the banquet.It was obvious that Grace favored Tessa.And Tessa was only adopted.Anyone would be bothered by such blatant favoritism—let alone Aurora.What kind of mother neglected her own biological daughter while doting on someone who wasn’t even related to her by blood?The thought gnawed at him.Lucas made a mental note to have someone look into why Grace had chosen to adopt Tessa all those years ago.He hoped he was overthinking things. But in high soc

Aurora’s approach to handling the situation was simple—use the truth to crush the rumors.She contacted the mall’s management, retrieved the security footage from the incident, and uploaded it online.The video showed the reality—Aurora and the man had merely bumped into each other by accident. The man had instinctively reached out to steady her, and they hadn’t even exchanged a single word before going their separate ways.Just two strangers brushing past each other.Nothing more.The internet flipped instantly.The gossip accounts that had initially fueled the scandal were now being torn apart by angry users, forced to issue apologies before eventually shutting down altogether.But for Aurora, this wasn’t over.She needed to find out who was pulling the strings behind the scenes."There—that guy was acting super suspicious," Megan said, pointing toward a corner of the video feed.A man in a baseball hat and a face mask."Looks exactly like a paparazzo. Too bad we can’t see his face.

Lucas brought over a steaming bowl of oatmeal. The rich aroma alone made Aurora’s stomach tighten with hunger. She took the bowl eagerly and scooped up a spoonful. The taste was even better than it smelled. The oatmeal was smooth and creamy, each spoonful rich and comforting, with tender shredded chicken and a hint of fresh herbs blending seamlessly into the warm, hearty texture.As the warmth spread through her stomach, her entire body relaxed. Before she knew it, the bowl was empty. Only then did she look up, suddenly aware that Lucas was still sitting beside her. Her cheeks heated. "Did you eat yet? You should go have dinner—I can handle the rest myself." Lucas took the empty bowl from her hands. "Want more?" Aurora hesitated for a second before nodding, a little embarrassed. A small chuckle rumbled from his chest as he stood up and went to get her another serving. This time, he returned with half a bowl, along with a cup of warm water and some medicine. "Fin
