Dumping My Ex to Flash Marry the Untouchable CEO novel Chapter 1850

Thinking of that, Tessa could barely keep the smile off her face.

But Aurora didn’t spare her a second glance.

Dressed in a pale blue strapless gown that traced every elegant line of her figure, paired with seven-centimeter heels, she stood before Tessa with effortless hauteur, looking down at her from above.

She knew perfectly well that everything Tessa said was nothing but bravado.

Right now, Tessa was barely holding herself together like a performer at the end of her act, all glitter gone, running on fumes.

One wrong move, and she would crumble.

And girls like Tessa was what Aurora found funniest of all.

“I don’t have the time to trade petty words with you here.”

Aurora’s calm voice snapped the crowd’s attention back to her.

Her remark took everyone by surprise.

They had assumed that a woman who’d once severed ties with her mother so decisively must have been wild, uncontrollable.

Yet here she was, offering a composed, almost polite response.

It wasn’t what anyone expected, especially given her reputation outside these walls.

Many had always assumed she was arrogant, impossible to manage, yet the way she spoke held more poise than rumor ever allowed.

Seeing her like this, the crowd remembered how the Walton Corporation had risen to new heights under her leadership.

And during that same period, Tessa had reportedly been in poor health, resting quietly at home.

Sure enough, Aurora didn’t bother softening her words.
