Chapter 41

"Mr. Joseph… I… I really didn’t expect that girl to…" Chuck swallowed hard, his voice shaking. "She… she’s nothing like she was when she first joined the company!" "Nothing like before? What do you mean? Spit it out!" Joseph cut him off impatiently, his tone dripping with disdain. "Didn’t you tell me before that you had her wrapped around your finger? Now you can’t even handle one woman? What the hell do I need you for?" Chuck felt his stomach churn. His hands trembled as he tried to explain. "Joseph, she… she’s different now. I… I’m no match for her at all." He then exaggerated the events of that morning, emphasizing how Aurora had effortlessly flipped him over her shoulder and completely humiliated him in front of the entire office. "Over-the-shoulder throw?" Joseph’s voice carried a hint of disbelief. "A grown man like you got thrown by a woman?" He sounded as if he had just heard the most ridiculous joke of his life, his words laced with mockery. "Chuck, y

Lucas’ deep voice came through the receiver, laced with a hint of exhaustion and a faint smile. Aurora paused, glancing at the time in the corner of her screen. "Aren’t you busy today? How do you have time to pick me up?" She clicked open another document, her eyes scanning through its contents. "I planned this ahead of time," Lucas said, his voice softening. "There are too many shady people around lately. I don’t feel safe letting you go home alone." A subtle warmth rose in Aurora’s chest. She absentmindedly touched her earlobe, the corners of her lips curving up. "I need to work a little longer. This report is due tomorrow." "Then I’ll come up and keep you company." Before she could stop him, the call ended. "Wait—" Aurora tried to protest, but the line had already gone dead. She stared at her phone for a moment before instinctively scanning the office. Even though it was after hours, a few coworkers were still at their desks, finishing up their work. If

Aurora took the piece of bread from Lucas and took a small bite. The warm, toasty flavor mixed with a subtle sweetness, instantly washing away the fatigue of working overtime. Lucas watched her intently, his gaze soft and gentle, a faint smile playing at the corners of his lips. The last rays of sunlight filtered through the glass windows, casting a golden glow over his sharp features, making him look even more striking. The faint scent of his cologne, mingling with the rich aroma of coffee, created a calming and intoxicating presence. With broad shoulders and a strong, upright posture, every inch of him exuded the quiet confidence of a mature man. "You got this from downstairs?" Aurora swallowed her bite and looked up at him, a hint of surprise in her voice. Lucas nodded, a trace of warmth flickering in his deep-set eyes. "I was going to come straight up, but I saw a few of your coworkers still around. I figured you wouldn’t want the attention, so I went to grab some

Aurora leaned back in her seat. "It's so late. Where are we going?" "I have a friend who runs a racetrack in the mountains. Want to check it out?" Lucas turned the steering wheel. "The view at night is stunning. You can see the entire city skyline from up there." Aurora paused for a moment, then her eyes lit up with excitement. "Street racing? Seriously?" She straightened in her seat. "I used to race with my friends back in college, but after I started working, I barely had time for it." "Perfect. Tonight, you can relive the thrill." Lucas smirked and increased the speed slightly. The car sped toward the mountain racetrack. The cool night air drifted in through the half-open window, carrying the crisp scent of the hills, sweeping away the fatigue of the day. Before long, the black Maybach pulled into the racetrack’s parking lot at the mountaintop. As the car came to a stop, Lucas got out first and walked around to open the door for Aurora like a gentleman. A man dres

Aurora leaned drowsily against Lucas, her warm breath brushing against his neck, carrying a faint trace of alcohol. She lifted a hand and lazily poked his chest, her fingertip tracing circles on his shirt. "Lucas, why… why are you so tall?" Lucas’s gaze darkened slightly. His Adam’s apple moved as he swallowed, his voice deep and steady. "You’re drunk." "I’m not drunk!" Aurora muttered in protest, wrapping her arms around his neck and hanging onto him completely. "I’m perfectly clear-headed! I just… just think you look really good." She tilted her head up, her hazy almond eyes gazing at him. The corners of her eyes were slightly flushed, carrying a hint of intoxication that made her look irresistibly sweet and delicate. Lucas felt a sudden warmth surge through his chest, a current of electricity running through his body. Suppressing the emotions rising inside him, he kept his tone as calm as possible. "Stop messing around. Let’s get you inside." With that, he scoope

The next morning, Aurora was jolted awake by the sound of her alarm.She rubbed her sleepy eyes and reached out toward the other side of the bed, only to find it empty.Lucas hadn’t come home last night.A flicker of unreadable emotion flashed across her eyes.Throwing off the covers, she stepped onto the cool floor and walked to the wardrobe. She casually picked out a beige knit sweater and a pair of black wide-leg pants.After washing up, she grabbed a quick breakfast before heading out the door.At the office, Aurora sat at her desk, powered on her computer, and started working.But no matter how hard she tried, she just couldn’t focus.Images of Lucas’ cold expression from last night when he answered that call, his hurried departure—it all kept replaying in her mind.She made herself a cup of hot coffee, the warmth gradually clearing her head, allowing her to finally immerse herself in work.As the end of the workday approached, her phone screen lit up with a messenger notification

Aurora's expression turned icy the moment she heard his words.She met Joseph’s gaze head-on, her eyes sharp as blades. "Joseph, watch your mouth. My life has nothing to do with you. How I live is none of your damn business."Joseph was momentarily stunned by her retort, but he quickly recovered, putting on his usual condescending act."Capability? Aurora, what capability do you have? You’re nothing now! Without me, you’re just a worthless nobody!"His words were sharp, but they didn't faze her.She had long seen through Joseph’s hypocrisy and arrogance.Once, she had thought he was her salvation, her guiding light.But in the end, he had only ever seen her as something to manipulate and control at will."Joseph." Aurora’s voice was calm as she spoke."Three years ago, I was blind to ever like you. But now, I see clearly. You mean nothing to me. And I, Aurora Walton, am not someone you can insult however you please."Something in her resolute gaze seemed to sting Joseph. His expressio

"Let go! Joseph, you’re disgusting!" Aurora struggled to break free, but his grip was too strong, pain searing through her wrist. Meanwhile, hiding in the shadows, Chuck quietly stepped out, discreetly pulling out his phone, ready to record the scene. That’s right—Joseph hadn’t come alone tonight. He had already arranged for Chuck to capture the perfect footage, something that would be enough to ruin Aurora completely. He was determined to make sure Aurora had no way to talk her way out of this."I’m going to let everyone at Walton Corporation see you for what you really are, Aurora. This is what happens when you cross me!" Joseph’s voice was nearly unhinged as he reached for her collar, attempting to tear it open. But before he could even get a proper grip, a powerful kick sent him flying backward. The next moment, a broad suit jacket was draped over Aurora’s shoulders. Still shaken, she found herself pulled into the protective embrace of Lucas. "You okay?" His dee

Aurora instinctively wanted to stop him, but Lucas grasped her wrist before she could move. The warmth of his touch sent a fleeting sense of calm through her heart. Joseph called the police, distorting the truth as he exaggerated his version of events. He conveniently left out his own despicable behavior. After hanging up, he remained seated on the ground, his gaze dark and venomous as he glared at them. "The cops are on their way. Aurora, you enjoy keeping a boy toy, huh? Let’s see how you manage to protect him this time. I refuse to believe you can bribe the police too!" He let out a malicious laugh, his expression twisted with satisfaction. Lucas, however, remained completely unfazed. He casually pulled out his phone, typed a message, and sent it before waiting patiently for the authorities to arrive. The police arrived swiftly. The moment Joseph saw the uniformed officers, he scrambled to his feet, launching into an exaggerated plea for justice. He pointed at his

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,
