Dumping My Ex to Flash Marry the Untouchable CEO novel Chapter 375

Chapter 375

What Tessa didn’t know was that Aurora was, in fact, completely unaware of everything that had happened.

After leaving the company, she’d wandered aimlessly, without any real direction.

Grace’s words had cut deep. If she stayed at the office after that, wouldn’t it make her seem shameless?

She simply couldn’t bring herself to linger there any longer.

As harsh as her mother had been, Aurora couldn’t deny that the online situation hadn’t been handled well either.

In a way, Grace wasn’t wrong.

Aurora had come to terms with that, but after their argument, she’d I stormed out and hadn’t figured out how to make amends.

With a weary sigh, she felt a creeping sense of unease, as if something bad had happened.

She glanced at her phone and there were still no messages.

She had been gone from the company for quite some time now, and yet Grace hadn’t reached out, not even once.

Aurora had been secretly hoping her mother might soften, send her a message, ask her to come back and keep working.

After all, even if she hadn’t performed miracles, she’d worked hard, put in the effort, taken the heat.

But staring at her empty inbox, that little sliver of hope quietly shattered.

Had she expected too much from her mother?

Aurora pressed her lips into a thin line and tucked her phone away, walking on in silence, her expression bleak and quietly miserable.

She looked like a lost soul on the street until a sleek sports car slowed beside her.

Behind the wheel was Joseph, with Judy in the passenger seat.

Joseph was driving with dark sunglasses perched on his nose, his hair slicked back to reveal a clean, confident forehead.

He hadn’t changed much, but there was something different now. He carried himself with a kind of smug confidence.

That was Aurora’s first thought when she saw him again.

And when Joseph saw Aurora in such a pitiful, beaten–down state, he couldn’t help but mock her, his tone dripping with amusement.

“Well, well, who do we have here? Isn’t this our famous Miss Aurora Walton?”

“What happened? You look like you’ve hit rock bottom, wandering alone by the river?

Aurora let out a cold laugh, but seeing the smug satisfaction on his face, she found herself at a loss for words.

So, it was true–being decent would make anyone an easy target.

Judy sat smugly in the passenger seat, arms crossed, looking down at Aurora with a self–satisfied sneer.

She could only hope Aurora had truly fallen from grace.

That way, she’d finally have a legitimate reason to mock her outright.

As long as Aurora was suffering, Judy would be delighted.

“Aurora, I used to think that as the second heiress of the Walton family, your life would be on the upswing. I never imagined I’d see you wandering alone by the river like this… how pitiful.”

Her tone was soft and syrupy. “If you’re really struggling, why don’t we give you a lift? We’ve got a car, after all.”
