Dumping My Ex to Flash Marry the Untouchable CEO のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 2221 - チャプター 2230

That was why Lily was certain the receptionist would be fired.Back then, the director’s attitude had been firm as well, clearly stating that he would find a way to dismiss the receptionist later on.After all, the company had strict rules—staff could not be dismissed casually. If they wanted to terminate her employment completely, they needed a legitimate reason.Otherwise, the matter would never be resolved so easily because Lily understood how serious this was, she would not speak recklessly.Each time she heard others complain about the receptionist, coupled with the receptionist’s current downfall, she could not help but say it out loud.Thinking of this, Lily let out a cold snort.“Don’t take yourself too seriously. We’re all in the same company. If you hadn’t gone too far on a regular basis, I wouldn’t have said any of this.“And besides, the way you usually behave at work—and whether anyone actually likes you—you know that better than anyone, don’t you?”The receptionist said,

Lina’s thoughts fell into complete chaos.With everyone raising their arms and shouting, how could she not be afraid?The scene felt like a full-blown uprising.Was this the moment the oppressed finally rose up?…Meanwhile, Aurora lifted her hand and knocked on the door of the director’s office.She knew the director should be inside at this hour.But she and Lucas had been standing outside for quite some time now, and there was still no response from within. Aurora’s heart skipped, and she sensed that something was wrong.Under normal circumstances, the director would have opened the door long ago.There was no way he would stay inside and ignore them like this.Either something had happened, or something was going on inside.No matter which possibility it was, neither was good news for Aurora.The director was her partner. If anything had gone wrong, she would feel responsible.“Why are you hesitating out here? Let’s go in.”“I knocked, but there’s no response.”Aurora hesitated.S

Now that Lucas and Aurora were both blocking the door, if he still refused to step out and meet them, it would only make him look unreasonable as an elder.If word got out, it would also affect the Carter family’s reputation.By then, his image as the Carter family’s young master would no longer look as polished as it seemed.Once people found out, it would only become fodder for gossip and ridicule.Edwin understood this clearly.In Philip’s eyes, Lucas naturally mattered the most.After all, Lucas was far more capable than him and could bring tangible benefits to the family.If Edwin were in the old man’s position, he would favor Lucas as well.Between the two, Edwin knew exactly where he stood.But faced with a situation like this for the first time, Yvonne’s mind went completely blank, and she had no idea what to say.She glanced around and found nowhere to hide.The office was empty and open, with everything visible at a glance.“Edwin, maybe we should just face it directly.”Yvon

In his view, he had always believed his abilities surpassed Lucas’. Why should he be barred from inheriting Vanguard Group?It was nothing more than Philip’s bias.If Philip had shown him even a little more patience, he would not have ended up like this.In the end, he even had to resort to every possible means just to pursue the woman he liked.How could Edwin accept that?So now, when facing Lucas, his feelings had shifted from initial shock to calm acceptance.He should have realized it long ago that the director worked with Aurora.And Aurora was already married to his nephew.With that in mind, it was hardly surprising that Lucas was the backer.After reaching this conclusion, Edwin slowly curved his lips.“What a coincidence. I didn’t expect to run into you here, my dear nephew.”Lucas replied, “It is quite a coincidence. I didn’t expect to find you in someone else’s office either.”“I’m curious—what exactly are you doing here?”Lucas’ lips curved in a faint, teasing smile, his g

Otherwise, given Lucas’ detached temperament, how could he possibly turn his gaze toward her at a moment like this?“Lucas… I knew you’d be willing to listen to me, at least for a moment.”As she spoke, Yvonne’s voice turned affected and cloying, so deliberately soft it was almost sickening.The moment her voice rang out, everyone present—except Lucas—shuddered.Even Edwin looked at her in shock.Since when did she talk like this?Was she putting on some tragic-heroine voice all of a sudden?In front of him, she had always been rough and blunt, never bothering with any pretense.She had never spoken with this kind of forced gentleness.Something like this would never have happened with him.It was only now that Edwin truly realized what position he was in.Yvonne’s attention had never been on him at all.Sometimes, love and indifference were painfully obvious.Toward Lucas, she was endlessly patient, the smile on her face far brighter than anything she ever showed him.Toward him, her
