Aurora Walton and Lucas Carter novel Chapter 1700

Lucas refuted her immediately.

“What’s happening online has nothing to do with me.

“Besides, I’d appreciate it if you stopped interfering in my life. You already know I’m married.

“If you keep reaching out to me, do you really think that’s appropriate?”

He added bluntly, “Aurora’s sitting right next to me right now.”

Hearing that, Yvonne felt a sting in her chest.

She hadn’t expected that while she was abroad, lost in thoughts and tangled emotions, Lucas and Aurora were already deeply in love with each other.

Their relationship seemed to be burning hotter than ever.

If that was the case, then was everything she once shared with Lucas nothing but an illusion?

Taking a deep breath, Yvonne was just about to play the emotional card when Lucas cut her off.

“If you called today just to say pointless things like this, I’m hanging up.”

At those words, Yvonne completely lost her nerve.

“Actually, I called to ask if you’ve found the judges for your side yet.”

Lucas exchanged a glance with Aurora, both instantly understanding what she meant.

But Aurora had already made up her mind.

She had no intention of discussing the judging panel anymore.

Besides, with so much talent in the country, did she really need to worry that the show couldn’t find a proper replacement for her?

Not to mention, with Lucas’ connections, there was nothing to fear.

It was Yvonne who should be worried. After all, the uproar online had already shaken public opinion.

Lucas’s tone was firm. “If you have nothing else to say, I’ll hang up.”

And without waiting for her reply, he ended the call.

After hanging up, he turned to Aurora with a look that said he was waiting to be praised.

Aurora obliged, reaching out to pat his head.

“Impressive. You handled it cleanly and decisively.”

Receiving her praise instantly lifted Lucas’s mood.

He raised his chin slightly, looking rather proud. “Of course.”

“People like Yvonne can’t be humored. The moment you show an inch of weakness, she’ll take a mile and keep testing how far she can go.”

Aurora teased him on purpose. “From the way you said that, it sounds like you know her very well.”
