Aurora Walton and Lucas Carter novel Chapter 1647

Ever since Aurora decided to accept Lucas’ help, everything had become clear to her.

If a problem couldn’t be solved, then she would use every resource available to fight back, on her own terms, not through anyone’s pity.

The world didn’t reward weakness.

People didn’t sympathize with the powerless; they respected those who rose above them and strong enough to make them afraid to cross the line.

The only way to earn respect was through power.

Fear was worth far more than pity.

Aurora had already figured out what Yvonne was trying to do, which made her even less interested in wasting another minute here.

She simply said, “If that’s all, I’ll be leaving. If you really want to know about Lucas, just call him yourself.”

Then she turned slightly and smiled. “Don’t worry, I won’t get jealous. After all, you’re his dear business partner, aren’t you?”

The last few words came out sharp and deliberate, meant to sting.

Aurora knew perfectly well that Yvonne had been using that so-called partnership as a weapon—hinting, both openly and subtly, that she shared something special with Lucas.

But the truth was, they were only business partners and nothing more.

What she and Lucas shared was something entirely different—they were husband and wife.

There could be many partners, but there was only one spouse.
