Aurora Walton and Lucas Carter novel Chapter 1561

Since the corporation had large investments across multiple regions, Lucas owned properties in many cities.

Otherwise, having to stay in hotels every time he traveled would’ve been far too troublesome.

Aurora had been about to ask where he planned to stay, but when she heard that, she couldn’t help clicking her tongue.

Of course, rich people really did treat buying houses like buying groceries.

…

Meanwhile, back in her own room, Yvonne slammed her fists angrily against the bed.

Her face was blotched with red and purple, seething with frustration.

She hadn’t expected things to turn out this way.

She’d assumed Aurora would be easy to deal with.

After all, their backgrounds and education were completely different, and Aurora’s company was nowhere near as big as hers.

Handling someone like her should have been effortless, or so she thought.

But things had gone completely opposite to what she’d planned. Aurora turned out to be far more capable than she imagined.

And right in front of everyone, Aurora had humiliated her.

The more Yvonne thought about it, the angrier she became.

At first, she had seen Aurora as nothing more than a pretty face. Now she realized just how wrong she had been.

The bitterness gnawed at her as she grabbed her phone and started scrolling through the online comments.

Sure enough, the tide had shifted, from doubting Aurora to doubting her.

It was obvious that most of those comments came from casual viewers. If they were her fans, they’d never post such brainless remarks.

They were siding with Aurora, taking her opponent’s side.

No one ever doubted their partnership. Whenever they appeared together, there wasn’t a deal they couldn’t close.

Just the sight of the two of them was enough to make competitors back down.

But everything had changed.

After she decided to expand overseas, Lucas had grown distant, their contact fading bit by bit.

During that time, it was Edwin who stayed in touch with her.

And now, as she thought about it, something clicked—was Lucas still upset that she’d left the country without telling him?

She had only done it for her career. After all, she’d been beside him for so many years and had never once seen any woman dare to approach him.

Everyone knew about their connection, so no one tried to interfere.

Yet now, out of nowhere, Aurora had appeared, and her presence sent Yvonne’s sense of threat surging to the surface.
