Dumping My Ex to Flash Marry the Untouchable CEO Chapter 50
Several days passed without any news of Joseph.Word had it that he had been temporarily detained and wouldn’t be released for a few more days. Aurora’s life gradually returned to normal. Lucas remained as busy as ever, rarely showing up at home. With thoughts weighing on her mind, Aurora found herself increasingly distracted. The days slipped by, and soon, the day of Grace’s birthday banquet arrived. Just as Lucas was about to leave for work, he turned to her and said, "Mrs. Carter, I have some matters to handle today. I might be late to the banquet." The words that had been on the tip of Aurora’s tongue were swallowed back. Thinking of the messages Tessa had sent her before, her expression dimmed slightly, and her fingers unconsciously curled into a fist. But in the end, she didn’t say anything. She figured Lucas was probably busy entertaining his so-called first love. If she chose this moment to make a fuss, she would only embarrass herself. With that thought,

The moment those words left Aurora’s, Tessa’s smile stiffened. She frowned, staring at Aurora in disbelief, momentarily at a loss for words. "Aurora, did you come back just to bully your sister?" Julian spoke up, his voice sharp and cutting. He held Tessa protectively by his side as he struck where it hurt most. "Your sister was only thinking of you. You were the one who insisted on chasing after Joseph for three years, throwing away your dignity just to be by his side. And in the end, what happened? You came crawling back, humiliated." His words were deliberately cruel, meant to expose her past in front of the crowd. By now, their conversation had drawn the attention of many guests. A hushed murmur spread through the room as people whispered among themselves, their eyes flitting between Aurora and Tessa. "Isn’t that Madam’s Grace second daughter? I heard she once abandoned everything for love." "And the guy she chased didn’t even like her. He ended up dumping her."

"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

Grace’s smile gradually stiffened as her gaze shifted between the Baccarat crystal vase Julian gifted her and the one Lucas Carter had just presented.Her expression grew increasingly serious.Because Lucas had gifted the exact same vase."How is this possible? They both gave the same thing? An antique like this is already incredibly rare—how could there be two?""I’ve heard of this vase before. There was only one ever recorded, right? It was auctioned off years ago to a mysterious buyer for an astronomical price. It’s supposed to be one of a kind!""Which means one of these has to be a fake."Tessa quickly caught on, her brows furrowing in disapproval."Mr. Lucas, whether your car and gifts are rented or not, at least put some effort into choosing something real for Mom’s birthday."Giving her a counterfeit in front of so many people—aren’t you just embarrassing my sister? Or do you not care about how this makes her look?"Julian’s expression darkened as he spoke in an equally cold to

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

With the truth exposed, Grace lost all interest in the celebration, and the banquet ended on a sour note. Lucas and Aurora drove home in silence. The moment they stepped through the front door, Lucas’ gaze turned intense and possessive. His dark, brooding eyes locked onto Aurora, as if he wanted to consume her whole. "You looked beautiful tonight." His voice was deep and magnetic, each word carrying an undeniable weight. Aurora felt a faint heat creeping up her cheeks under his unwavering stare. She pushed against his chest, attempting to put some distance between them. "Let me go. I’m exhausted and just want to sleep." But Lucas had no intention of letting her off so easily. Without warning, he scooped her up in his arms and strode toward the bedroom with determined strides. His gaze burned with unmistakable desire. "Too late for that." Aurora let out a startled gasp, instinctively wrapping her arms around his neck. "What are you doing? Put me down!" Lucas plac

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 lifted her gaze subtly, her expression unreadable as she took in the sight of a man standing outside the store.He wore a baseball cap and a face mask, his posture slightly hunched as he watched her and Megan intently.Something about him felt familiar.A second glance confirmed it.It was Joseph.Her brows furrowed.Hadn’t he just been released recently? Was he already looking for trouble?Though from the way he was lingering outside, he didn’t seem bold enough to make a scene.Deciding he wasn’t worth her attention, Aurora shifted the conversation smoothly. "See that dress in the display across the street? That’s the new collection from A&Co. It’d look amazing on you."Megan, a devoted fan of A&Co., immediately perked up. "Wait, they released a new line? Why didn’t I hear about this?!"Without hesitation, she grabbed Aurora’s arm and dragged her across the street, completely forgetting about picking out a tie for Lucas.Which had been exactly Aurora’s intention.She had no int

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

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
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

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
