Semua Bab Dumping My Ex to Flash Marry the Untouchable CEO: Bab 851 - Bab 860

Once she recovered, there would still be so many things waiting for her to deal with.Aurora shook her head and picked up her toothbrush to wash up.Meanwhile, Megan hurried back to the table to grab a few quick bites.Leonard watched Megan bustling around like a busy little bee.He recalled what Aurora had just said—"It's rare to see her up this early."That made Leonard curious: what time did Megan usually wake up at home?Without beating around the bush, he asked her directly.Megan suddenly looked a little embarrassed.“Well… at home…”She scratched her head, unsure how to explain.After all, at home, she usually slept in until late morning.And even then, it was always the housekeeper who came to wake her up.If she were left on her own, she probably wouldn’t wake up until the afternoon.If it weren’t for her parents worrying that she’d go hungry, they wouldn’t even bother trying to wake her.Seeing Megan hesitate like that, looking awkward and flustered, Leonard couldn’t help but

Meanwhile, Lucas hadn’t been idle either.He had gotten up early that morning at the hospital and, without wasting a second, headed straight to the police station.Up front, Desmond was driving, sunglasses on, secretly thrilled to see his boss back in full-on CEO mode.This was the version of Lucas he preferred—sharp, commanding, and in control.God knew how Desmond had survived the past month.Not only did he have to oversee their own company, but also keep tabs on Walton Corporation, all while managing the emotional rollercoaster that was his boss.Twenty-four hours in a day weren’t enough—he felt like he needed forty-eight.His own downtime had been cut drastically, with no trace of the freedom he once had.And his boss?He was glued to his wife’s side, paying zero attention to the company or even to family affairs.He had practically handed everything over to Desmond.Frankly, Desmond suspected that if he were even slightly more capable, Lucas might’ve dumped the entire company on

Before coming, Hector had been thoroughly briefed by the chief over and over again.He’d taken every word to heart.This time, the chief hadn’t even bothered calling the lead officer over.And since Hector was the main officer in charge of this case, the chief concluded that, all things considered, Hector was the most suitable person to receive such an important guest.There was no doubt about it.As Lucas and Desmond approached, the chief and Hector moved forward to meet them.The moment the chief saw Lucas in person, his smile deepened so much that the wrinkles around his eyes seemed to stick together.“Ah, Mr. Carter, it’s truly an honor to meet you in person. It’s far better than just hearing your name!”The chief extended a hand for a handshake.But Lucas didn’t move at all. Instead, he gave Desmond a subtle look, and the latter immediately stepped forward and took hold of the chief’s hand that had been hanging awkwardly mid-air.Desmond smiled and said, “We’re honored to meet yo

“And besides, our boss has other matters to handle. He really can’t afford to waste any more time here.”Hearing that, Hector smacked his forehead, finally remembering what they were actually here for.He quickly bent forward in apology. “I’m so sorry, that’s on me. I’ll take you there right away. My apologies again.”As he spoke, he raised a hand and gestured ahead. “If you look straight ahead, just follow this hallway. It’s not far—Julian Hayes is being held just down this way.”Desmond glanced at Hector, puzzled. “You’re not coming with us?”Thinking of Julian’s current state made Hector feel a little uneasy.He looked at Lucas’ sharp, indifferent profile, wrestled with himself for a moment, then gave in. “Alright, I’ll come with you.”Originally, he hadn’t wanted to see Julian like this.If it weren’t for Lucas’ request, he probably wouldn’t have stepped foot there at all.In just two days, Julian had become completely unrecognizable.Hector led Lucas and Desmond to the holding ar

Desmond walked straight into the cell.The closer he got, the stronger the strange odor coming off Julian became.It was overwhelming and nauseating.And with the peak of summer in full swing, the stench inside the holding cell was unbearable.He nearly gagged on the spot.But remembering the task Lucas had given him, he clenched his teeth and pushed through.After all, not just anyone earned the right to stay by Lucas’ side.Even this kind of thing was a test of qualification.Desmond exhaled slowly, focused only on getting this over with as quickly as possible—there couldn’t be any mistakes.He crouched down and saw that Julian’s eyes were completely unfocused, staring off into nothing.He was clutching something tightly in his arms, refusing to let it go.When Desmond reached out to touch it, Julian jerked back violently, making it clear he wasn’t going to allow anyone near it.Hector, watching from the side, shook his head. “Mr. Watson, I’d let it go if I were you. We’ve tried ever
