Dumping My Ex to Flash Marry the Untouchable CEO Chapter 10
Aurora hung up abruptly before Megan could finish speaking.Out of the corner of her eye, she caught a fleeting trace of amusement in Lucas’ gaze.Megan’s shocked outburst echoed in her mind, and for some reason, a hint of embarrassment crept in, especially when her gaze, entirely by accident, landed on his collarbone.He was dangerously tempting.Her ears burned. She cleared her throat. "Do you need something?""It’s late. I saw you were still up." Lucas’s lips curved slightly, the usual coolness in his features softening just a touch. "Chatting with Megan?""Yeah, just small talk," she replied vaguely.Lucas’ gaze flicked to the faint redness on her ears, and suddenly, he spoke. "Shouldn’t Megan be calling you her cousin-in-law now?"Aurora choked at the thought.That did make things… a little complicated.Lucas’ lips curved into a subtle smirk. He leaned down, his fingers tilting her chin upward, his voice low and smooth."It doesn’t matter if she doesn’t. But, Mrs. Carter… it’s

"That won’t be necessary," Aurora said coolly. "He doesn’t like those kinds of events."And she meant it.Lucas always seemed distant and unattainable, refined yet indifferent—he truly wasn’t suited for such social gatherings.Tessa’s smile deepened.Of course, she heard about Aurora’s sudden marriage.But the fact that it was handled so discreetly only made her more convinced that Aurora’s husband wasn’t worth showing off."What a shame," Tessa said, feigning regret. "Your brother-in-law was hoping to meet him."Aurora turned to Grace, her tone calm. "You once said I got married because of the Walton family’s traditions. “In your eyes, it doesn’t matter who my husband is, so I’d rather not let Walton family affairs interfere with him."Grace frowned slightly but remained indifferent. "Your sister was just being considerate. If you don’t want to, that’s fine. There will be opportunities in the future."Aurora’s expression remained unreadable.She truly didn’t want the Walton family'

Aurora glanced at the list before speaking slowly and deliberately."On November 8, 2022, I took care of you when you had a high fever, so the standard caregiver rate is $120.“On November 23, I made three round trips to deliver urgent documents for you. It’s twelve kilometers in total, which comes to $60.“From 2022 to 2024, I cooked and delivered homemade meals and nutritious soups for you every single day for three years. That comes to $16,600."Her expression remained calm as she read each line aloud, but in her mind, flashes of the past three years played out.She had wasted three years on a man who was never worth it.She had poured time and effort into him, learning to cook, making soups, delivering meals day after day, all for someone who never truly appreciated it.And now, here they were—settling old debts in front of an audience.At first, Joseph listened with an air of indifference. But as Aurora continued listing item after item, his brows furrowed, his expression darkeni

Joseph clenched his jaw, his eyes locked onto Aurora with barely contained rage.Beside him, Judy had gone pale.As more people gathered, Joseph finally gritted his teeth and spat out, "Bank transfer."Aurora remained unfazed, her expression calm as she pulled out her phone and opened her banking app, holding it up for him.The moment the transfer notification appeared, she glanced at the screen, then let out a soft chuckle, amusement flickering in her eyes."Much appreciated, ex-boyfriend."It was not so bad.After wasting three years of her life, she still walked away with $22,700.Joseph’s face was as dark as a storm cloud as he stormed off. Judy, sensing the weight of the stares around them, hurried after him, flustered.In the bright, upscale restaurant, Lucas’ gaze landed on Aurora from a short distance away.Beside him, his business partner followed his line of sight, curiosity flashing in his eyes.Then, with growing interest, the man’s gaze naturally settled on Aurora."Lucas

Lucas froze for a moment before a slight smile appeared on his face.Suddenly, he wrapped an arm around her waist, leaning down, his voice cool and laced with laziness. "Rora, I've never pursued anyone before. Whether it's infatuation at first sight or feelings that grow over time, give me a chance. Let’s turn this act into something real, alright?" Rora was her childhood name. When she was young, her family loved calling her that. She hadn't expected Lucas to bring it up again. How did he even know about it? Aurora’s heart trembled slightly as she met his gaze. Her red lips parted, but she couldn't bring herself to refuse. She lowered her eyes, her long lashes trembling slightly before she finally spoke. "Alright." …Meanwhile. After leaving the restaurant, Joseph dragged Judy away with a dark expression. There was quite a crowd inside, all eager to watch the drama unfold. Someone even recorded the moment Aurora confronted him and later uploaded the video onl

She remained calm, but there was an undeniable presence about her—nothing like a fresh graduate just entering the workforce. Chuck frowned, a flicker of doubt crossing his mind. Was she somehow connected to the Walton family? But Tessa had never mentioned anything about it. The brief hesitation quickly vanished. He let out a cold laugh. "Walton Corporation has no use for trash like you." Aurora said nothing. She simply picked up the documents and turned to leave. Not long after, the termination notice was officially issued. When the project manager heard about it, he was completely stunned. Others might not know Aurora’s true identity, but he certainly did. She was the Walton family’s heiress. Had Chuck lost his mind? Grinding his teeth, the manager stormed over to Chuck. "Do you have any idea who Aurora Walton is? You just fired her? Are you trying to get yourself kicked out of Walton Corporation?" "She’s just another college graduate," Chuck sneered. "What

That evening, Megan invited Aurora out for some shopping, helping her pick a gown for Vanguard Group’s event the next day. By chance, they ran into Judy and Joseph. Judy glanced at Aurora with a soft smile. "You’re in quite the good mood, Miss Walton. Even after getting fired, you still have the energy for a shopping spree." Beside her, Megan’s face turned pale. What the hell? The Walton matriarch’s younger daughter fired from Walton Corporation? Aurora narrowed her eyes slightly, her gaze shifting to Joseph as she spoke in a calm tone. "This was your doing?" "You should know your place," Joseph said with disgust. "Aurora, I never wanted to make things difficult for you, but you just couldn’t stop clinging to me." As Aurora’s best friend, Megan knew all too well the mess between the two of them. She rolled her eyes. "Are you out of your mind? You are a spoiled piece of leftovers no one wants, yet you think Aurora is desperate for you? Get over yourself.""Oh really

His voice was deep and smooth, sending a shiver down Aurora’s spine as her heartbeat stuttered. "Lucas…" She blinked up at him, hooking her arms around his neck. "I remember you promised me that if I wasn’t ready, we’d take things slow." That night in the attic, the atmosphere had been too perfect. She wasn’t able to refuse him. Lucas had coaxed her in a low voice, assuring her he would never push her into anything she didn’t want. Now, he let out a soft chuckle. Tilting her chin up, his gaze remained cool and composed yet laced with undeniable temptation. "So… you don’t want to?" His breath, warm and teasing, brushed against her ear. A tingling sensation spread through her, making her shudder. It felt like a feather had swept across her heart. Heat curled through her body, something unfamiliar and impossible to ignore. Grinding her teeth, Aurora thought, “So much for his aloof, unattainable act.” This man was a menace. After a brief pause, she tightened her

Lucas turned on his heel and strode out of the building, pulling out his phone to call Desmond."Check the surveillance footage from Walton Corporation’s underground parking lot. Find Aurora’s location."Hearing the urgency in his boss’ voice, Desmond immediately ended the call and got to work.Lucas wasn’t idle either. His lips pressed into a tight line, brows furrowed as he opened his laptop, attempting to track Aurora’s phone signal.Moments later, Desmond called back."Boss, I found it. Miss Walton was taken. The location is...""Westside warehouse." Lucas’ voice was dangerously low."Bring the police. I’m heading there now."He ended the call without another word.Desmond fell silent for a moment, sensing the suppressed rage in Lucas’ tone.Having worked for him for years, Desmond knew him well enough—whoever had dared to kidnap Aurora was as good as dead.He silently prayed that the kidnappers had tough lives because Lucas had plenty of ways to deal with them otherwise.Lucas’ e

Aurora scanned her surroundings, quickly realizing she had been kidnapped. She ran through the list of people she had offended—it wasn’t a long one. She could count them on one hand. When Chuck appeared, Aurora’s gaze remained calm, as if she had expected this all along. Her expression barely changed, looking at him the same way one would at a pathetic clown. Chuck noticed the way she looked at him and grabbed her chin in irritation, his voice dark. "What’s with that look? Are you trying to threaten me? Hmm? Say something." Aurora let out a cold snort from her chest, then glanced downward, signaling with her eyes that her mouth was still gagged. At that moment, Linda stepped forward and ripped the cloth from her mouth, her face full of smug satisfaction. "What’s wrong? Where’s that arrogance you had back in the conference room?" She even patted Aurora’s cheek, a mocking smile on her lips. Aurora spat to the side. "What, you think kidnapping me will get you back into Wal

It was a perfect timing.Joseph had been urging Chuck to find an opportunity to deal with Aurora, and he was struggling to come up with an excuse. Now, Linda had practically handed him one. After comforting the still-sniffling Linda, Chuck stepped aside to call Joseph. Watching him, Linda’s eyes darkened. She always knew that Chuck’s arrogance at the company wasn’t just because of his connection to the Walton family—he also had Joseph backing him. As long as they got Joseph involved, Aurora wouldn’t stand a chance! On the other end of the call, Joseph glanced at Chuck’s name on his phone, irritation flashing across his face. Seeing the caller ID reminded him of how he had been trying to track down Walton younger heiress, but to no avail. Ever since that brief encounter at the front desk, there had been no further news. And that only fueled his frustration. When he finally answered, his tone was full of disdain. "Useless. Why the hell are you calling me?""I told you

Linda was thrown out of the company—right at the front entrance. A group of security guards shoved her outside. The receptionists craned their necks to watch the commotion, eager to find out what had happened. After all, this was the first time they had ever seen something like this. The next second, the guards tossed Linda’s belongings onto her, the items scattering messily around her. "You can scram now. And don’t bother showing up near the company again." With that, the security guard clapped his hands together and walked away with a smug air. Everything had been carried out exactly as the manager had instructed. Mission accomplished. In all his years on the job, this was the most disgraceful way he had ever seen someone leave a company. Linda sat there, humiliated, her gaze falling on the two receptionists at the door, who were looking at her with amusement and curiosity. She bit her lower lip hard, clenched her fists, and swore silently to remember this humili

"Please, Miss Walton, forgive me! I was wrong—I swear, it won’t happen again!" "Oh? There will be a next time?" Aurora narrowed her sharp eyes slightly, her expression unmoved by Linda’s desperate pleas. She was no saint. If she hadn’t been prepared, she might not have been able to turn the situation around today. And what if the person Linda had tried to replace wasn’t her, but some inexperienced intern? That person’s career might have been completely ruined. At that thought, a cold light flashed in Aurora’s eyes. Linda frantically shook her head. "No, no, Miss Walton! This was the only time, I swear! I’ll never do it again!" Tears and snot streamed down her face as she sobbed. But not a single person in the room spoke up for her. Clearly, she wasn’t well-liked to begin with. Lucy, on the other hand, felt incredibly satisfied. She had been itching to speak up earlier, but Aurora had held her back. Now, she realized Aurora had been saving this as her final mov

Linda couldn't help but sneer. "Ha, just an empty bluff. I'd love to see what you can actually show us!" Aurora ignored her and continued opening the PowerPoint presentation. A brand-new proposal appeared on the screen. Not only was it more refined than Linda’s, but it was also meticulously detailed—right down to the fact that the celebrities had already been contacted. Aurora’s cool voice rang out steadily, "What Linda stole was just my initial draft.""But this—this is my final version. The hot spring resort can't just focus on luxury; we also need to consider accessibility for most families. That’s why my final proposal is broader in scope and far more feasible."As for the brand collaboration, I’m already in negotiations and have made substantial progress with them." As soon as she finished speaking, the room erupted into applause. Everyone stood up and clapped for her, their appreciation genuine. The applause was even louder than when Linda had presented her so-calle

After flinging Linda aside, Aurora gracefully took out a wet wipe and carefully wiped her fingers, one by one. That action only infuriated Linda even more. Once she recovered, she charged forward, ready to confront Aurora. "Aurora, you bitch! How dare you! I won’t let this go!" Her mind was consumed by rage. At this moment, she had completely forgotten that she was the one who stole someone else's work in the first place. But just as she was about to pounce, Ben stepped forward and grabbed her, speaking with righteous conviction. "Alright, Linda, we’re all colleagues. There’s no need to make things so embarrassing. Besides, maybe Aurora had a reason for doing this." The moment he said that, many people sensed something was off. Aurora, however, simply stated, "Of course I have my reasons. Linda’s proposal was plagiarized from the start." "Bullshit!" Having her secret exposed was like having the last shred of her dignity ripped away. Her voice grew louder. "You have t

"Because you are not even qualified for this proposal." Aurora slowly stood up, her delicate face indifferent. She watched as Linda jumped around, as if watching a clown performing at a circus. Linda clenched her fists, her expression filled with indignation. "What do you mean by that?" Her face suddenly twisted with rage. "You must be jealous of my proposal, that's why you're saying this. Aurora, you’re so petty." At first, Linda was a little afraid when she saw Aurora stand up. But the next second, she suddenly remembered that she had already transferred Aurora’s documents. And she had spoken first. No matter how angry Aurora was, what difference would it make? Whoever presented the proposal first owned it. The project manager also turned to look at Aurora, his eyes darkening slightly as he considered the situation. "Aurora, you mean to say..." "Mr. Gardener!" Linda couldn't help but shriek, interrupting him. "Aurora is slandering a colleague! Why are you still g

Aurora remained silent, resting her right hand against her chin as she lazily observed Linda.Every now and then, she lifted her gaze, exuding the air of a relaxed Persian cat—elegant yet indifferent.Linda carefully studied Aurora’s expression. Seeing her so calm and composed, she couldn’t help but clench her fists.“Fine, Aurora Walton, enjoy your arrogance while you can. In a moment, you won’t be able to say a word. “Let’s see what you amount to once this proposal is mine in front of the manager,” Linda thought.With an air of confidence, Linda strode onto the stage, her chin lifted high.Aurora found it utterly amusing.As soon as Linda plugged her USB drive into the computer and projected the proposal onto the screen, a glint of realization flashed in Aurora’s eyes.Just as expected.So, Linda really did steal her proposal.Aurora showed no obvious reaction—she merely raised an eyebrow, a faint, unreadable smile playing at her lips.It was as if she hadn’t even noticed Linda’s p
