บททั้งหมดของ Dumping My Ex to Flash Marry the Untouchable CEO: บทที่ 2231 - บทที่ 2240

“Yvonne, calm down.”The sharp crack echoed through the office.The room was already small, and with four people crowded inside, it felt even tighter.That solid slap left everyone frozen in shock.Even Edwin could not help turning to look at Lucas.“Lucas, have you lost your mind?”After all, Yvonne had grown up with them since childhood. How could Lucas strike her like that?Not only was it disrespectful to Yvonne—many would see it as a lack of respect toward women in general.And Aurora was standing right there. How humiliating must this have been for Yvonne?More importantly, they had known each other since they were young. Even if there was no romance, there was still friendship.Yet Lucas had been utterly ruthless.That slap stunned everyone present.Even Aurora could not help glancing at Lucas a few more times.She had always thought the bond between the three of them was something formed over years, not something she could easily step into.So long as certain things were not dr

It was obvious that Aurora was the rope that could restrain Lucas.Edwin also realized one thing clearly—if he softened his stance in front of Lucas now, it would be hard for them to bring today’s situation to a clean end.Some things, once they happened, stayed broken. There was no easy way to undo them.“Lucas, look at you,” Edwin said with a forced smile. “I’m your elder. How could I possibly hurt my nephew’s wife?”As he spoke, he put on a gentle expression and looked at Aurora.“Aurora, you see, Lucas is just too emotional right now. Try talking to him properly.”The ingratiation on Edwin’s face was unmistakable.Standing to the side, Jason nearly laughed out loud.So, this was the so-called heir.The outside world had exaggerated him into something formidable, yet in front of Lucas, he still had to keep his head down.In the face of absolute power, everything else became meaningless.At that moment, Jason felt even more certain that siding with Lucas had been the right choice.Fo

If she could lose control like this in front of so many people, who knew how twisted and malicious she might be in private?What was more, Lucas was someone she had once loved. Was it really fine for her to behave like this?Did she no longer need to maintain that carefully crafted image in front of him?At times, Jason even wondered whether Yvonne had some kind of split personality.Otherwise, how could she swing so wildly between extremes?Whenever he interacted with Yvonne normally, she had never looked like this.But the way she was spiraling now made even Jason instinctively take two steps back.Even Edwin frowned and barked sharply,“Yvonne, what are you doing? There are so many people watching. Don’t you feel ashamed at all?”Those words made Yvonne freeze on the spot.She stared blankly at Edwin, as if she could not believe the words had just come out of his mouth.“What did you say?”After a moment, she finally parted her lips and asked.Although she spoke softly, her eyes wer

This was something Edwin could never accept.Being forced to live without freedom was worse than death to him.Moreover, Philip was inherently stubborn.Edwin had finally managed to return, and if Philip became set on sending him abroad again, there would be no way to change his decision.Philip had always been someone who meant what he said.Otherwise, he would never have been able to run the Carter family so successfully.The Carter family was enormous.With countless branches and offshoots, it was not something one person could easily manage.Yet Philip had carried it on his shoulders all the same.That alone showed how formidable he had been in his youth.This was not something ordinary people could ever compare to.Because of that, Edwin did admire Philip at times.But admiration did not mean agreeing with everything Philip did.It was undeniable that Philip also admired Lucas, who reminded him so much of his younger self.And precisely because Lucas possessed that same decisivene

In that instant, Edwin immediately changed his tune. “Alright, I understand.”All things considered, Edwin was someone who knew when to read the room.He could see the situation clearly now—pushing back any further would bring him no benefit at all.Rather than wasting time here, he might as well go check on Yvonne.Even though Yvonne had treated him harshly, Edwin truly did care about her.He was not willing to give her up so easily. After all, she was a woman he had genuinely liked.With so much happening all at once, she must have taken a heavy blow.Edwin also thought it through carefully—if he went to comfort Yvonne now, perhaps he could regain a bit of her goodwill.As he walked out, Edwin felt deeply unsettled.He could not believe he had been trailing after Yvonne all this time.Even now, at this point, he was still chasing after her like a pathetic hanger-on.If Philip ever found out, who knew what he would say?After all, he carried the Carter name, yet he was capable of acti
