Dumping My Ex to Flash Marry the Untouchable CEO Chapter 128
At those words, the smile on Tessa's face completely cracked.Even Aurora herself was caught off guard.She didn’t have any real connection with the CEO of Vanguard Group—why would he be sending her anything?“Could there be a mistake?” she asked aloud, unable to stop herself.After all, she was just a low-level employee. She barely knew the man.Tessa’s eyes lit up with hope—maybe the gifts were meant for her? Maybe they had simply mistaken the two of them.But the bodyguard shook his head with unwavering certainty. “No mistake. The president gave clear instructions—these gifts are for Miss Aurora Walton.”Tessa nearly shattered her molars, her eyes burning with jealousy so intense it was practically visible.Around them, guests turned toward Aurora, their gazes filled with admiration and envy.Even her coworkers stood stunned, completely thrown off.The bodyguard looked to Aurora, his tone respectful. “Miss Walton, these are from our president. Please feel free to inspect them.”“The

Grace gave Aurora a subtle look, gesturing for her to change into the gown that had just been gifted.Her current dress was soaked, and continuing to wear it was simply inappropriate for the occasion.Aurora agreed—she couldn’t go on like this. After offering a quick word of thanks, she followed the attendant to change.This time, Tessa didn’t follow.Her freshly manicured nails dug deep into her palm.But the pain in her hand couldn’t compare to the ache twisting in her chest.She had seriously underestimated her darling sister.So, Aurora had managed to climb into the good graces of the man behind Vanguard Group?All this time, she'd kept a low profile, hiding behind work and humility, only to come out with a move like this?“Fine. Let’s see who has the last laugh,” she thought.Grace, meanwhile, was feeling nothing but satisfaction. The timing of the CEO’s gift delivery couldn’t have been better—it was even more impactful than if he’d come in person.Now, everyone clustered around

With all eyes on her, Grace stepped proudly onto the stage.“Everyone, may I have your attention.”The crowd immediately quieted, curious to hear what she had to say.She turned her head toward Aurora, who was gracefully approaching, and extended her hand.Aurora understood the gesture and smiled—a soft, melting smile, like the first snow of winter giving way to spring. Then she gently placed her hand in Grace’s.Grace turned back to the guests and spoke with composure and pride.“Tonight’s business cocktail party was held for more than just celebration. I have two important announcements to make.”“First, I’d like to officially introduce the young woman standing beside me. This is the younger heiress of the Walton family and of Walton Corporation—Aurora Walton!”A collective gasp echoed across the hall.Some who already knew the truth reacted calmly, even remarking that the resemblance between Grace and Aurora was unmistakable.But those who hadn’t known were visibly stunned.“What?S

When Joseph Hunt brought his first love to the birthday banquet, Aurora Walton knew she had lost.In the corner of the room, she glanced at the messages from her mother, Grace Williamson."Aurora, you lost.”"Three years, and Joseph still doesn’t love you. As agreed, it’s time for you to come back and take responsibility."Out of the corner of her eye, Aurora looked at the girl in Joseph’s arms.This was the first time she had seen Joseph’s first love.She was pure, with a soft and gentle demeanor, quiet and serene. Even in cheap clothing, she stood out effortlessly.So, this was the type Joseph liked.A faint bitterness spread across Aurora’s lips.She suddenly remembered four years ago when a bold socialite flirted with Joseph and confessed her feelings. He lazily flicked his cigarette, his eyes holding a trace of detached amusement as he smirked, "Sorry, lady, I like girls who are quiet and ordinary."At the time, Aurora was secretly in love with Joseph for two years.However, Grac

Aurora didn’t linger in Westbridge for long. She only stayed in the city for Joseph, but now that she had graduated and he had someone else, there was no reason for her to remain. That night, she booked a flight home to Ravenshore. When she stepped off the plane, Megan Quinn was already waiting for her. "This time, are you staying for good?" "I am." For years, Aurora spent most of her time chasing after Joseph, rarely returning to Ravenshore. Her time with Megan had been scarce. But now that the bet was lost, she had no reason to leave again. Megan heard about what happened with Joseph and couldn’t help but sigh. Still, she only smiled and looped her arm through Aurora’s. "Forget the bad luck. Tonight, we celebrate."Aurora returned her smile and didn’t refuse. Megan took her to the most exclusive club in Ravenshore, ordered the finest drinks, and threw her a single-life party. One drink in, and the frustration Aurora had been carrying for years finally started t

Megan had always found her cousin a little intimidating. The moment she got into the car, she stayed quiet, not daring to say a word. Inside the vehicle, the silence felt oddly heavy. Aurora’s gaze drifted to the leather-wrapped rosary bracelet around Lucas’ wrist. There was something familiar about it, but with the alcohol clouding her mind, she couldn’t quite place it.Still, a hazy memory surfaced as she recalled the first time she had ever met him.Years had passed, yet he remained just as striking, his presence just as commanding. Megan’s house was close by. After dropping her off, Lucas continued driving, now heading to Aurora’s hotel. With just the two of them left in the car, his voice suddenly broke the silence, casual yet unreadable. "Planning to stay in Ravenshore?" "Yeah." Aurora hesitated for a moment before nodding. They weren’t particularly close, so after that brief exchange, the silence quickly returned. The air conditioning was on full blast, and

How did he know about her and Joseph? The thought flashed through Aurora's mind, but she simply smiled and said, "No, Lukey. It's just that you've had your fun too, so let's just leave it at that." She blinked, though a hint of guilt still lingered inside her. Lucas was different. Brilliant, accomplished, and famously unattainable, he was like the cold moon hanging high in the sky. She had committed a sin. Aurora cursed silently in her heart. Lucas flicked the ash off his cigarette. He didn't confirm or deny it—his gaze simply darkened."Whatever," he said coolly. Aurora let out a quiet breath of relief. After getting dressed, she left the hotel and took a cab back to the Walton estate. Just as she got into the car, a short distance away, Judy caught a glimpse of her and froze for a moment. Then, biting her lip, she tugged at Joseph. "Joseph, I think I just saw Miss Walton." "Aurora? What would she be doing here?" Joseph frowned slightly. This was a five-sta

Aurora remained calm. "Don't worry, I’m done with Joseph. But since I’ll be taking over the Walton family, my marriage should at least be stable. I’d rather choose someone I don’t dislike." Grace had never approved of her being with Joseph. Part of it was her disdain for Aurora allowing emotions to cloud her judgment.The other reason was that the Hunt family was a direct competitor to the Waltons. Though the Hunts weren’t as powerful as the Waltons, they were still considered rivals. In truth, when it came to marriage, Grace wasn’t overly controlling. She wasn’t as invested in Aurora’s affairs as she was in Tessa’s. Her sharp gaze swept over Aurora, assessing her for a moment. "Fine, you can choose whoever you want to marry, but a bet is a bet. Don’t let me down, Aurora." Aurora nodded. Grace had other matters to attend to and turned to head upstairs. Now, only Tessa and Aurora remained in the living room. Though they were sisters in name, their relationship had a

With that thought, Lucas’ gaze swept toward Tessa, who instantly felt a chill crawl down her spine.Meeting his eyes, she unexpectedly flinched.And when she realized she had, Tessa nearly laughed out loud.She was a proud heiress of the Walton family.How could she possibly feel intimidated by some nobody?Straightening her back, she was just about to speak when a new wave of commotion erupted outside."What? The CEO of Vanguard Group is here?""Seriously? I need to go see for myself!"The crowd buzzed with excitement, and even Tessa’s heart skipped a beat.Sure, Julian was already impressive—but who didn’t crave more power? Who didn’t want the best?Self-preservation was human nature. Of course she wanted the best option available.She craned her neck with the rest of the crowd, eyes fixed on the entrance.Even Aurora felt a twinge of surprise.She murmured, "Didn’t expect the CEO to show up in person. He never makes public appearances."Lucas glanced at her, watching her lost in th

But Tessa wasn’t about to let Aurora off the hook so easily, not when her plan had just fallen apart.She quickly caught up, still clinging to her act of concern as she reached for the zipper at the back of Aurora’s dress. "Sister, let me help you. I’ll come with you. This hall is huge. It’s better if we look out for each other."As she spoke, she naturally moved in closer, her right hand inching forward.Aurora saw right through her. She sidestepped without hesitation, irritation flickering in her eyes. "I said I’ve got it. I don’t need help."She’d already arranged for someone to wait in the dressing room. The moment she put the dress on, something had felt off.So, she played along, just to confirm her suspicion that it was her dear sister who’d tampered with it.Judging by Tessa’s urgency, she had guessed right.Meanwhile, the dance continued behind them, but the subtle tugging between the two had already begun to draw attention.Aurora noticed the curious stares and didn’t want t

Aurora gave a slight nod and stepped into the room to meet with Grace.Grace's eyes lit up at the sight of her—Aurora looked absolutely radiant. Her delicate features, touched up just right, gave her an almost ethereal beauty. Grace felt a deep sense of satisfaction."Don’t be nervous tonight. You need to perform well during the opening dance."Aurora nodded. She understood how important the opening dance was—it was the first step in putting her in the public eye."By the way, has Lucas arrived yet?"Aurora recalled the message Lucas had sent her and explained, "Almost. He’s on the way. He just texted me.""Good. You know how we do things in the Walton family. It wouldn’t make sense to have you officially step in without that."Aurora nodded again, fully understanding. Then the two of them walked together toward the banquet hall.By the time they stepped out, most of the guests had already arrived.Grace felt a wave of pride and joy in her heart. These people all knew Walton Corpor

Hearing that the Chairwoman was looking for Aurora, Joseph stood frozen on the spot, completely caught off guard.His eyes widened, mouth slightly agape, and his voice shot up in pitch, making him look rather ridiculous. "You’re the second heiress of the Walton family?"Aurora raised an eyebrow and nodded without hesitation. "What, are you shocked?"It was almost laughable. After three years together, he still had no idea who she really was.The hall manager also looked at Joseph in surprise, wondering why this man was making such a fuss.Joseph’s overly loud voice had drawn attention, and soon the area became a small spectacle.Thinking back to those three years with Aurora, Joseph remembered how plain her clothes had been, how she lived in a rented place until he couldn’t stand it anymore and let her move in with him.How could someone like that possibly be the rumored second heiress of the Walton family?When he finally processed everything, his expression shifted from shock to disd
Dumping My Ex to Flash Marry the Untouchable CEO Chapter 123
As soon as those words were spoken, a wave of murmurs spread through the crowd."Is that true?"Someone voiced their doubt. "Exactly. The CEO of Vanguard Group never attends events like this. No one has even seen what he really looks like.""That’s just what I heard. Who knows if it’s true or not.""If he really shows up at this party, Walton Corporation’s status will be on a whole different level."Everyone nodded in agreement.Who in Ravenshore hadn’t heard of his decisive methods?Not to mention his standing in the city—he was a force above the elite families.Upstairs on the second floor, Tessa watched the scene below. Her beautiful features twisted slightly with frustration. She knew all too well what the purpose of this event was.But why?They were both heiresses of the Walton family, so why was Grace so biased?The resentment in Tessa’s heart was about to overflow.She turned and saw a row of rooms on the second floor. When her eyes landed on the one labeled “Dressing Room,”

Aurora stood to the side with a constant smile on her face. This time, she could finally breathe a sigh of relief.She had passed Grace’s test. What came next was the real challenge.Once the excitement died down, Grace looked at Aurora with a smile in her eyes. “Aurora, come to my office.”Aurora was a little surprised but simply replied, “Okay,” and followed her mother out.“The Chairwoman’s definitely going to reward her with something.”“I think there’s a good chance she’ll get promoted.”“You’re probably right. We’ve all seen what Aurora’s capable of.”“Exactly. Aurora’s ideas played a huge role in securing this project!”No one in the department thought otherwise. Everyone genuinely felt happy for her.As Aurora followed Grace into the office, she understood that her mother was about to honor the bet.But ever since what had happened last time, there was still a thorn in her heart.“Madam Grace, what do you need from me?” Aurora shut the door behind her and looked calmly at Grace
