Dumping My Ex to Flash Marry the Untouchable CEO novel Chapter 6

For the first time, Aurora found it hard to reconcile the man before her with the one in her memories—the man who once comforted her, over and over, when she was temporarily blind.

Back then, after the earthquake, Joseph had saved her, staying by her side and reassuring her as they waited for rescue.

That was why she had been devoted to him for so long.

But she never imagined that the man who accompanied her through the darkness would turn out to be so arrogant and cruel.

“Aurora, a woman should have more self-respect,” Judy said with a sigh, her expression one of helpless understanding, as if she were generously tolerating a clingy, unreasonable ex-girlfriend chasing after her boyfriend.

Aurora was just about to set the record straight when, suddenly, someone leaned in and whispered something to the manager.

The manager’s expression shifted.

He turned to Joseph, his tone polite yet firm.

“Apologies, Mr. Hunt, but your membership invitation has been revoked. You are no longer a member of this restaurant. Please leave.”

Revoked?

This restaurant was well-known, and its owner was notoriously elusive and private.

Joseph’s expression darkened, but he forced himself to remain composed. “What does your boss mean by this?”

“My apologies,” the manager said again, extending a hand toward the door.

“These are our owner’s instructions. I must ask both of you to leave.”

Aurora paused for a moment, then let out a quiet laugh, watching the way Joseph’s face twisted with emotion.

Joseph shot her a sharp glance, clenched his jaw, but in the end, he didn’t dare make a scene.

Without another word, he turned and left with Judy.

As they stepped out of the restaurant, Judy hesitated.

Remembering the way Aurora looked just now, Judy felt aggrieved, her eyes turned slightly red as she asked, “Joseph, do you think this was Aurora’s doing?”

“Impossible,” Joseph said coldly, his patience wearing thin.

“What kind of power would she have?”

“But isn’t the owner of this place supposed to be extremely wealthy? What if Aurora is still bitter over your breakup and deliberately got close to him? She does seem… different now.”

Joseph frowned, thinking back to the way Aurora had carried herself tonight.

She really did seem like a different person.

Even her presence felt stronger than before.

“She wishes,” Joseph said flatly.

“With her background, no one would take her seriously. She’s just a passing amusement. Just ignore her.”
