Dumping My Ex to Flash Marry the Untouchable CEO novel Chapter 1550

Chapter 1550

But behavior like Yvonne’s-timid and overly cautious-tended to rub people the wrong way.

It was like being in an office where coworkers whisper after a meeting, “You’re trying too hard to outshine everyone, aren’t you?”

In today’s society, no one liked being part of the rat race; everyone preferred to take things easy.

Yvonne’s behavior, unfortunately, hit everyone’s nerve.

After all, what she was doing was a textbook example of dragging others into competition while refusing to show what she herself was learning.

Because of that, people’s opinions of Aurora began to change.

They finally realized what kind of person Yvonne really was.

Standing in the crowd, Lucas watched the scene unfold and couldn’t help nodding in approval toward Aurora.

As he expected, Aurora would never be bullied.

He trusted her capability and knew she would know how to fight back.

But even so, every move she made still managed to exceed his expectations.

And she knew that Yvonne was trying to shift the topic, so she simply steered the conversation right back again.

This left Yvonne with no room to escape.

Lucas, satisfied, withdrew his gaze.

But when his eyes accidentally met Yvonne’s dark, resentful face, he felt a jolt of unease.

He couldn’t shake the feeling that Yvonne was brewing some kind of scheme in her mind, though after being apart for so long, he couldn’t guess what she was planning.

For some reason, a sense of foreboding crept into his chest.

Could it be that Yvonne was plotting something against Aurora again?

Lucas silently made a mental note to keep an eye on her.

He wouldn’t give Yvonne any chance.

Now that Aurora stood under the public eye, he had already anticipated the risks.

Just as Desmond had once said, Aurora was both his weakness and his armor.

But a weakness exposed before others would only give them an opening.

He had to protect her at all costs and never let anyone have the chance to harm her.

Yvonne ended up embarrassed over the whole thing and could only leave everyone with one last remark.

“I didn’t expect Miss Walton to be so sharp-tongued. I really underestimated you.”

“Sharp-tongued might be too much. I just think some of your words didn’t sound quite right, Miss Song. I only wanted to explain things properly on behalf of my friend.”

Aurora’s smile deepened. “After all, my friend isn’t good with words, so it’s better if I clarify things with myself. Otherwise, people online might start misunderstanding again.”
