Dumping My Ex to Flash Marry the Untouchable CEO novel Chapter 1640

He had never spoken to her in such a harsh tone before.

All this time, Lucas had always been composed and gentlemanly toward her.

He had never raised his voice or said anything cruel. After all, they were partners in name, and professionalism was supposed to be mutual.

But now, he was being downright ruthless.

The realization made Yvonne’s chest tighten. If Lucas could treat her this way, then she couldn’t afford to be softhearted anymore.

If she kept holding on to her feelings for him, the only one who’d end up getting hurt would be herself.

Lucas had no affection left for her.

Ever since Aurora entered his life, he was no longer the same man he once was. The warmth and familiarity he used to show her were gone, so was the loyalty to their shared past.

Understanding that, Yvonne’s expression darkened.

“Lucas, if you can be this heartless, then don’t blame me for being cruel in return.”

She had already made up her mind; she needed to find a way out for herself.

If she let Lucas keep controlling the situation, her studio would be finished.

Her reputation online was already in shambles, and if she didn’t act soon, she’d lose her place on the show as well.

Swallowing her anger, she called Lucas again.

But to her fury, he didn’t answer.

Watching the call go unanswered, Yvonne’s resentment only deepened.

So, she typed out a message instead.

As a man, if he couldn’t even protect the woman he loved, then what right did he have to be with her?

If that were the case, he’d rather let Aurora live freely than keep her bound to him.

Maybe then her life would be easier and happier.

Even if he didn’t want to admit it, deep down Lucas knew most of the chaos surrounding Aurora stemmed from him.

If his world hadn’t been so tangled and complicated, Aurora would never have had to endure all this.

She could have lived a simpler and better life.

But the thought of someone else standing beside her in the future sent a dull ache through his chest.

His hand tightened into a fist, and with a sharp motion, he hurled his phone aside.
