Dumping My Ex to Flash Marry the Untouchable CEO novel Chapter 1849

The two of them echoing each other like that was practically throwing her onto a fire, leaving her no way to step down.

The thought left Tessa unsettled; she hadn’t expected Lucas and Aurora to be this ruthless.

“Then tell me, how should I have said it?”

Before Tessa could answer, Lucas spoke on his own.

“You said it yourself—this is a family meeting. So what issue is there with Aurora and me being here?”

“My point is that my sister normally doesn’t attend these meetings. She even fell out with Mom before.”

As she spoke, Tessa’s expression was full of troubled concern, as if Aurora had done something unforgivable.

To anyone who didn’t know the truth, the scene looked entirely like Aurora was at fault.

After all, if her own sister described her this way, Aurora must truly be difficult.

Otherwise, who would speak of her like that in public?

Aurora, however, knew exactly what Tessa was doing.

She was putting on a perfectly polished sweetheart act—sweet on the surface, poisonous within.

Saying all this in front of everyone was nothing but an attempt to humiliate her.

Every word was calculated, each sentence pushing the story in her favor.

Her goal was simple: ruin Aurora’s image on the spot.

And her methods were undeniably skilled.

Hearing Tessa’s words, the people around them quickly recalled why it all made sense.

Everyone in high society had heard about Aurora cutting ties with Grace.

Aurora became the target of everyone’s criticism with almost no effort at all.

And this, of course, was exactly what Tessa wanted.

Where no one else could see, the corner of her lips lifted ever so slightly.

“Aurora, oh Aurora, let’s see how you talk your way out of this. Everyone here knows exactly how you cut ties with Mom.

“Never thought your little rebellion back then would become the perfect weapon for me to use against you.

“Let’s see how you plan to escape responsibility in front of so many people.”

After all, everyone attending today was a prominent figure of the Walton family.

The Waltons were a long-standing elite family with decades of influence.

With all of them criticizing Aurora now, walking away untouched was never going to be easy.
