Dumping My Ex to Flash Marry the Untouchable CEO novel Chapter 1911

As expected, Charles’ expression darkened as well.

He had not imagined that the Carter family would speak against him for the sake of an outsider.

“Edward, are you really going to ruin our many years of friendship over a woman?”

“What do you mean, over a woman?”

Hearing that, Edward hurried to distance himself.

“It’s not my wife. I’m not siding with him. I’ve always stood with our daughter-in-law.”

After all, he was very clear about his standing in the family.

With both his wife and daughter-in-law watching, how could he possibly side with outsiders over his own family?

If word of that got out, he would become a laughingstock.

“At least you know better.”

Diana shot him a teasing look.

That single glance was enough to lift Edward’s spirits.

It had been a long time since he had seen his wife act that way toward him.

Unexpectedly, with all these outsiders present, he had managed to turn misfortune into fortune.

Meanwhile, Aurora remained calmly seated.

Even with the whole family present, she did not react at all.

She knew Diana would stand up for her.

Not to mention Lucas and his parents were all here.

No matter how things were arranged, it would never be her turn to speak.

Someone would always shield her.

In this family, Aurora felt an absolute sense of security.

It was not just Lucas who gave her that sense of safety, but his parents as well.

Standing to the side, Yvonne watched Aurora eat with quiet composure, looking thoroughly pleased with herself, and resentment surged within her.

She could not help blurting out, “You must be feeling very pleased with yourself right now.”

Hearing that, Aurora was utterly baffled.

But Yvonne was already blinded by anger.

She had lost all restraint.

All she wanted now was to bring Aurora down, especially with Lucas right there, she did not want to embarrass herself.

There were so many eyes were on her.

Besides, she had met Lucas first back then.

So why did Aurora end up overtaking her?

Did everything they once had really count for nothing now?

Aurora slowly rose to her feet.

However, Lucas stepped in front of her instinctively, a hint of concern on his face.

Aurora gently shook her head at him, signaling that it was fine.

“Don’t worry. With so many people watching, and this is ourterritory, there’s nothing to be afraid of.”

Hearing that, Lucas felt she had a point.
