Dumping My Ex to Flash Marry the Untouchable CEO novel Chapter 4

How did he know about her and Joseph?

The thought flashed through Aurora’s mind, but she simply smiled and said, “No, Lukey. It’s just that you’ve had your fun too, so let’s just leave it at that.”

She blinked, though a hint of guilt still lingered inside her.

Lucas was different.

Brilliant, accomplished, and famously unattainable, he was like the cold moon hanging high in the sky.

She had committed a sin.

Aurora cursed silently in her heart.

Lucas flicked the ash off his cigarette.

He didn’t confirm or deny it—his gaze simply darkened.

“Whatever,” he said coolly.

Aurora let out a quiet breath of relief.

After getting dressed, she left the hotel and took a cab back to the Walton estate.

Just as she got into the car, a short distance away, Judy caught a glimpse of her and froze for a moment.

Then, biting her lip, she tugged at Joseph.

“Joseph, I think I just saw Miss Walton.”

“Aurora? What would she be doing here?” Joseph frowned slightly.

This was a five-star hotel, and given Aurora’s background as a struggling student, there was no way she could afford to stay here.

“Maybe she still can’t get over you. I think she heard you came to meet Mr. Carter, so she might have been waiting around on purpose…”

“Ignore her,” Joseph said, his expression darkening.

He had no patience for women who didn’t know their place.

Causing a scene at his birthday party was bad enough, and now she was playing this desperate clingy act?

Besides, he had treated her well enough.

Otherwise, a woman like Aurora would never have the chance to be in a relationship with someone like him.

Thinking about what his grandfather had instructed him, Joseph furrowed his brow.

“I should go meet the CEO from Vanguard Group. Grandpa said that no matter what, we must secure this project with the Carters.”

The Hunt family had been on a downward slope for the past two years.

If they could establish a connection with Vanguard Group, there might still be a chance for them to turn things around.

However, Joseph ended up making a trip for nothing.
