Dumping My Ex to Flash Marry the Untouchable CEO novel Chapter 238

Chapter 238

Julian reluctantly tore his gaze away from Aurora and gently reassured, “Alright, go ahead. I’ll stay right here. I’m not going

anywhere.”

Only then did Tessa nod sensibly and head off to the restroom with her purse.

When she caught sight of her twisted expression in the mirror, she flinched in shock.

Was that really her?

All she ever wanted was more attention–was that really such a crime?

Everything was Aurora’s fault.

If not for her, how could she have ended up like this? How could she have become so consumed with jealousy?

“Trying to secure an international project, are you?”

Tessa’s lips curled into a cold smile. “Don’t worry. The more you want something, the more determined I am not to let you have

it.”

She wiped away the twisted smirk on her face, pulled out a designer lipstick, and calmly retouched her makeup.

When she stepped out again, she had transformed back into the radiant Tessa.

In seven–centimeter heels, she carried herself with an air of absolute confidence.

Julian glanced at her glowing smile, feeling slightly puzzled.

She only went to the restroom, didn’t she?

Then why did it seem like she came out a completely different person?

“What is it?”

Tessa caught his gaze and asked with a faint chuckle.

Julian quickly snapped back to himself. “Nothing. Just thought you looked especially stunning today.”

Tessa sneered inwardly.

Wasn’t his attention glued to Aurora just moments ago?

“We’ve been together for so long, and now you suddenly say something like that?”

She played the part of the bashful girlfriend.

That expression dispelled any remaining doubt Julian had.

Chapter 238

Meanwhile, Aurora approached the crowd with John by her side, ready to introduce him to everyone.

“It’s an honor to have you all here at Walton Corporation’s banquet,” Aurora began.

“Today’s event is mainly to introduce someone to everyone–this gentleman beside me, Mr. John York, Director at LC

Corporation.”

She gestured toward John, who graciously nodded and said, “Hello, everyone. I’m John.‘

Aurora picked up the thread again. “I believe most of you have already heard of Mr. York. To say the least, he’s signed several

major international projects abroad–some of which I’m sure you’re familiar with.”

John looked a little embarrassed by the praise, but inside, he was beaming.

He hadn’t expected Aurora to speak so highly of him.

And judging by the crowd’s reactions, it seemed he had made quite a favorable impression.

Just as Aurora had said, if they wanted to break into the domestic market, Walton Corporation was the perfect partner.

Aurora gave him a subtle look, as if to say, “Be patient. The best is yet to come.”

Now that the partnership was on track, it was time for Walton Corporation to showcase their full capabilities.

With the two of them perfectly in sync throughout the event, it felt as though Aurora had completely secured John’s support.

Watching this unfold, Tessa could no longer stay still.

With the Vanguard Group project still in progress, if this new deal went through as well, there would be no place left for her in the

company.

The thought made her heart race with unease.

She finally understood that if Aurora had brought John to the banquet, it meant she was absolutely confident the deal would be

signed.

Tessa stepped forward, casually remarking, “Sister, if you were going to discuss a business collaboration at the banquet, why didn’t you arrange to meet Mr. John somewhere else from the start?”
