Dumping My Ex to Flash Marry the Untouchable CEO novel Chapter 171

Chapter 171

The manager looked a little puzzled. “Sort of. We do have quite a few conflicting projects with Walton Corporation, but don’t

worry, Miss Shaws, we and Walton…”

Before he could finish, Wendy cut him off. “I already know the rest. Just assign me to the projects that go head–to–head with

Walton Corporation.”

The manager was stunned.

To be honest, Walton Corporation was indeed a formidable competitor.

On top of that, they’d recently aligned themselves with Vanguard Group.

Their standing in Ravenshore had surged dramatically.

“Miss Shaws, you haven’t been in the country much, so you might not be too familiar with Walton Corporation. They’re actually

quite capable.”

Wendy replied with obvious displeasure, “So what? If they weren’t, I’d find it boring. I want this project. You don’t need to worry

about the rest.”

Here, Wendy was putting on her full heiress airs.

The manager clenched his fists, recalling what the higher–ups had said.

In the end, he nodded without realizing it. “Right, got it. With your intelligence and boldness

the project‘

Wendy clearly enjoyed the flattery.

The corners of her lips lifted uncontrollably.

Seeing this, the manager finally figured her out and quietly let out a breath of relief.

So that’s all it was–just someone who loved to be praised.

And just like that, Wendy took on the role of director at Seafront Corporation.

Miss Shaws, I’m sure you’ll land

Walton Corporation.

After finishing her day at work, Aurora hesitated.

She wasn’t sure if she should go home.

Last night when she stayed at home, Grace had already grown suspicious. If she went again today, who knew what Grace might

think?

Aurora wrestled with the decision for a long time, then finally chose to return home.

After all, avoiding it forever wasn’t a solution.

It wasn’t in her nature to keep running away.

When she got home, she found the place completely empty, not a single light on.

She didn’t know why, but a wave of bitterness welled up inside her.

Was it because his little childhood sweetheart had returned? Was that why the two of them were out, ready to spend time alone together?

Aurora let out a cold laugh.

More than ever, she felt that both she and this marriage were nothing but a joke.

Taking advantage of their absence, she headed to the guest room she used to stay in and went into the master bedroom to grab a

few clothes.

When she walked in, she assumed no one was there.

She turned on the light and went straight to the walk–in closet.

What she didn’t notice was the large lump under the covers on the bed.

Lucas sat up, lifting the blanket.

His face was flushed unnaturally, and his eyes were slightly unfocused.

The sounds coming from the closet stirred a hint of clarity in his

gaze.

Was Aurora back?

He got out of bed barefoot and walked quietly toward the closet.
