Dumping My Ex to Flash Marry the Untouchable CEO novel Chapter 1917

The others were already starting to grow dissatisfied with Yvonne.

It was obvious she was wasting everyone’s time.

Yet Yvonne refused to acknowledge it.

She was holding her ground, clinging to what she believed she had to protect.

Yvonne took a deep breath and smiled at everyone.

“Don’t I at least have the right to keep my own secrets?”

“Of course you do. Miss Song is doing very well.”

That single use of “Miss Song” instantly put distance between them.

It was clear Lucas was already displeased.

Anyone with eyes could see that.

Hearing this, Yvonne felt even worse inside.

She slowly clenched her hand.

She never wanted things to turn hostile with Lucas.

So how had it ended up like this?

Before Aurora came into this family, things had never been this way.

Back then, both Lucas and Edward had taken good care of her.

But now everything had changed.

Lucas no longer looked after her, and even Edwin had changed.

One had his own life now, while the other wanted to force her into his.

The thought made Yvonne’s head ache.

Now she had brought her entire family to the Carter residence to seek Philip’s help.

If they failed to see Philip today, then all their efforts would amount to nothing.

“Dad, Mom, trust me. Let’s wait a little longer, alright?”

Yvonne’s voice carried a pleading note.

Seeing her like this, Michelle could not hide the pain in her eyes.

“Lukey, I didn’t expect Grandpa to look so energetic. He really is aging well.”

Lucas’ lips curved slowly.

“Of course. Grandpa has always kept up his exercise habits.”

When Philip walked into the living room, the Song family could no longer contain their excitement.

“Mr. Carter Sr., you’re finally here.”

Charles was the first to step forward, his eyes filled with emotion.

He had thought his daughter’s matter would fall through today.

He never expected the situation to turn around at the last moment.

How could he not be moved?

Yvonne’s eyes were already rimmed with tears.

Philip, however, remained calm.

“Didn’t I tell you three o’clock in the afternoon? Why did you come so early?”
