Dumping My Ex to Flash Marry the Untouchable CEO novel Chapter 324

Chapter 324

Kenneth stared at the phone screen for a long time after the call ended, frozen in place before finally picking up again and dialing his assistant.

“Look into John York from LC Corporation. Report any movement or activity to me directly.”

“Yes, sir. Leave it to me.”

With that, the call ended.

Kenneth’s gaze darkened.

This time, he would meet John in person.

He wanted to see for himself whether the man lived up to the rumors of being a powerful force in the industry.

Without John, Walton Corporation was just another small, unremarkable name

That thought alone lifted his mood.

“Don’t worry, sister,” he thought. “I’ll handle what you asked personally.”

Walton Corporation.

“Have you heard? There’s a problem with the overseas project!”

“What? I thought everything was going smoothly?”

“Exactly! What happened? Our general manager and that director, John, already confirmed the collaboration at the banquet how could there suddenly be issues?”

The office was buzzing with speculation. No one could tell whether the rumors were true or not.

At the center of it all, Aurora remained seated in her office, calm and unreadable, her expression giving nothing away.

Her assistant, on the other hand, was pacing back and forth in front of her desk, clearly agitated.

*I mean, seriously, how can you still be this calm, Miss Walton?”

Aurora raised her eyes slightly and replied with steady poise, “Then tell me, how should I be reacting?” The ouestion left him momentarily speechless

The question left him momentarily speechless.

Meanwhile, she took a slow sip of the freshly brewed tea by her side, completely at ease, while he stood there nearly tearing his

hair out.

“That may be, but you definitely shouldn’t be this calm,” Ian snapped, throwing his hands up.

“John going back on his word like this–how is that even acceptable? We already had everything confirmed!”

Aurora stood and walked to the floor–to–ceiling window, watching the traffic flow outside. A wave of quiet reflection settled over her.

“In business, people pulling tricks like this is nothing new. And even if I were to lose hair in chunks from stress, would that fix

thin

ght off guard. “Well… when you put it like that… So, what do we do now, Miss Walton?”

or now, we wait.”

ora’s eyes narrowed slightly.

Something about the timing didn’t sit right with her.

They weren’t even at the final signing stage yet, and already LC Group dared to back out so

blatantly?

She’d be lying if she said she wasn’t angry.

But it wasn’t the time to lose her head, not yet.

Taking a deep breath, she said, “Reach out to John. See when he’s available. Tell him I want to meet in person.

“And shut down those rumors flying around outside. Make sure people aren’t spreading nonsense.”

She stretched her arms casually. “Now more than ever, we need to stay calm.

“There are too many eyes on us right now. If I lose control or fail to deliver this project, do you really think I’d survive under the weight of their scrutiny?”

lan paused, then nodded. “You’re right. I’ll get it done, Miss Walton.

“I’ll get that meeting with John set up, and I’ll take care of the office gossip. You don’t have to worry about a thing.”
