Dumping My Ex to Flash Marry the Untouchable CEO Chapter 77
Grace nodded in satisfaction at Aurora’s response. “Alright, I’ll be waiting. Just let me know in advance.” Aurora inclined her head, though inwardly, she wondered if Lucas would even have time for this. After all, he might still be busy entertaining his so-called true love. “By the way, Mom.” Aurora suddenly spoke up, looking at Grace. Grace arched a brow, signaling her to continue. “My sister… What do you plan to do about Julian?” Aurora had almost wanted to address him as her brother-in-law out of habit but quickly corrected herself. A man like him wasn’t worthy of that title. At the mention of Julian’s name, Grace’s expression darkened, her authoritative demeanor returning in an instant. “Don’t worry about that. I’ll handle it.” She paused for a moment before adding, unable to suppress herself, “Your sister already admitted that she failed to keep things in check.” “She’ll give us an explanation. Give her some time, she was just as deceived as the rest of us.”

Tessa was never one to wallow in self-pity. Julian’s heart skipped a beat. Up until now, he had been quite satisfied with Tessa. Her family elders adored her, always speaking highly of her. Though she wasn’t as stunning as Aurora, she was still a well-bred socialite of Ravenshore, and being engaged to her elevated his own status significantly. Giving her up wasn’t something he was willing to do. With that in mind, Julian pulled Tessa into his arms, his voice dripping with tenderness. “Tessa, it was Aurora who seduced me. You’re the only one I love.“Don’t say such things. We’re already engaged. I want to be with you for the rest of my life. My heart belongs to you, and only you.” Julian had always been handsome, but it was his eyes that were his greatest weapon—no matter who he looked at, there was always an illusion of deep affection in them. Under his gentle coaxing, Tessa let herself believe him. She took a deep breath. “Fine, I’ll give you a chance. But what abo

“You’re overthinking it. I’ve just been busy with work these past few days.”Aurora averted her gaze, not wanting to look at Lucas’s face. “Now let go of me—I’m going to take a shower.”But Lucas didn’t loosen his grip.He studied her carefully, sensing that she was hiding something.But if she didn’t want to talk, there wasn’t much he could do.He raised an eyebrow, debating whether to press further. He didn’t want things to be so tense between them.It had been fine before—comfortable, even. But now? She had clearly misunderstood something.“Rora, I don’t want any misunderstandings between us.”His deep voice carried a trace of warmth as he nuzzled into the curve of her neck.“If something’s on your mind, just tell me.”His tone was rich and low, like the deep notes of a cello, each word tugging at her heartstrings.Aurora’s pulse skipped.But then she remembered the way he had walked away that night.What was the point of clarifying anything?This was a marriage of convenience—noth

Faced with that expression, Aurora couldn’t bring herself to refuse.“Alright, I got it.”Lucas’s lips curved into a smile, even his eyes carrying a trace of warmth.“Mrs. Carter, I’ll be waiting for your message.”Aurora gave a simple hum in response before turning and heading toward the office.Lucas remained in place, watching her until she completely disappeared from sight. Only then did he finally drive away.The moment Aurora stepped into the company, she was a different person.She wore a tailored, light-colored business suit that accentuated her sharp, professional demeanor.Her hair was pulled into a sleek updo, exposing her smooth, elegant forehead.With a light touch of makeup, her features appeared even more refined—polished with a distinct air of competence.As she walked past her colleagues, she returned their greetings with polite nods and faint smiles.No one could help but admire her striking presence.Taking her seat, Aurora immediately got to work.She pulled up the

At first, everyone assumed that the second daughter of the Walton family’s matriarch was just here for show, playing at starting from the bottom.After all, heirs born into wealth rarely took their jobs seriously. With family money as a safety net, most of them treated work as a mere pastime.But Aurora was nothing like the people the project manager had seen before.In fact, she completely overturned his expectations.It was rare to see someone as dedicated as her.With her background, she could have coasted through her position at Walton Corporation, doing the bare minimum.Yet he saw her seriousness and diligence firsthand.Not only that, but she was genuine. She treated people with warmth and respect.The project manager found himself looking at her with newfound admiration.Aurora, however, didn’t care how others viewed her.To her, work was about responsibility—doing what needed to be done.She carried herself with unwavering poise, like a steadfast pine tree standing tall agains

Right. She was here to deliver the documents.Vanguard’s project was the priority—everything else was secondary.She needed to stay focused.Besides, it had only been a fleeting glimpse.Maybe she had seen wrong.But then again… could she really mistake a face like Lucas’?A sudden thought struck her.Vanguard’s chairman also had the last name Carter.The same one as Lucas.Aurora’s eyes narrowed slightly.The coincidences were piling up.She recalled the extravagant gesture Lucas had made at her mother’s birthday banquet—the genuine antique bottle he had gifted.Even Julian, who had spent a fortune, had ended up with a fake.Yet Lucas had easily produced the real deal.She always knew the Carter family was well-off, but this level of extravagance wasn’t common.Her thoughts swirled as she arrived at the 15th-floor conference room.Maybe she really did see wrong…But the moment the elevator doors slid open, her breath caught.Standing in the center of the crowd outside was a familiar f

Aurora didn’t say anything else.With so many people watching, there was no need to continue the conversation.“Alright, get back to work. I have things to do as well.”She lifted the documents in her hand as a gesture, reminding him of her purpose for being here.Lucas studied her, taking in the sharpness of her gaze—different from her usual carefree demeanor. There was a seriousness to her now.“Alright. Good luck.” Then, as if casually, he added, “With how dedicated you are, Rora, you’ll succeed in anything you do.”Aurora met his deep gaze, sensing something layered beneath his words. But she couldn’t quite place it.Her mind briefly flickered back to the Lucas surname.Her lashes lowered slightly, masking her thoughts.Forget it.Even if Lucas’s family was well-off, at most, he was probably just part of a distant branch.That legendary, top-tier Carter family—the one that controlled Vanguard Group—was far beyond the reach of someone like her.With that thought, the tension in her

Aurora’s words landed well, putting everyone at ease.Many looked at her with newfound respect.It seemed Walton Corporation had a strong chance this time.The representative they had sent wasn’t just capable, she also knew how to carry herself with restraint and professionalism.Aurora noticed the shift in their gazes but responded only with a polite nod.She knew all too well how ruthless the business world could be.People loved tearing others down when they were vulnerable.Maintaining surface-level relationships was enough—cordial but distant.There were no unnecessary enemies and no unnecessary entanglements.Stepping out of the meeting room, Aurora immediately spotted Lucas waiting for her.“You’re done?”“Yes, everything’s settled.”Lucas took her bag from her naturally, as if it were second nature.Aurora paused for a brief second but said nothing.Well, if he offered to carry her bag for free, why should she refuse?However, as she glanced around, something struck her as odd.

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

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
