When Desmond entered with the police, he saw Lucas carrying Aurora out.The woman had a man’s suit jacket draped over her shoulders.
She looked so small and delicate, nestled against Lucas‘ chest, and the two of them looked perfect together.
Desmond had to admit that much.
“Mr. Carter, I brought the police,” Desmond quickly said the moment he spotted Aurora in Lucas‘ arms.
Sure enough, Lucas nced at him with a look of approval and gave a slight nod. “Don’t let a single one of them get away.”
With that, he strode off with Aurora in his arms.
Her clothes werepletely ruined.
Lucas knew she wouldn’t want to stay here another second.
And he was right.
At that moment, Aurora had buried her face into the crook of Lucas‘ neck.
Getting pped across the face was a humiliation!
“I know what you’re thinking, Rora. Don’t worry. Once you’ve rested, we’ll make sure they pay.
His deep, gentle voice sounded above her head.
He had noticed the tension in her body and said that just to calm her.
Aurora couldn’t help but marvel at how attentive this man was.
She gave a soft “mm” and let him carry her away.
By the time Chuck woke up, he was already at the police station.
Linda had also been brought in.
During the interrogation, her role was considered failure to report a crime, so she was detained for a little over ten days.
In the end, both Chuck and Linda were brought to justice.
Back at home, when Joseph received the news, he was so furious that <b>he </b>mmed his phone to

the ground with a loud bang.
“Useless idiots!”
Judy Moore walked in to see his chest rising and falling in anger.
Her eyes flickered slightly before she stepped forward, gently touching his chest as she casually asked, “What’s wrong? Why are you so worked up?”
Joseph felt slightly soothed by Judy’s gentle touch and soft words.
“It’s nothing. Just business. I’ll handle it.”
With that, he brushed her hand aside.
Judy’s expression stiffened.
She hadn’t expected Joseph to push her away this time.
And Joseph didn’t know why either–he just wasn’t in the mood today.
Even when faced with Judy’s sweet and innocent face, what popped into his mind was Aurora’s radiant and spirited smile from the banquet.
But the moment he remembered Aurora secretly seeing another man behind his back, a wave of bitterness surged within him.
And Chuck kept screwing things up again and again.
Judy tried tofort him. “It’s alright. That’s how business works. There are ups and downs. You’ll get through it.”
“You’re right, Judy. You always know how to say the right thing.”
With that, Joseph turned and headed back to his room, leaving Judy alone in the living room.
Lately, he’d been caught up with everything rted to Aurora and trying to dig into Tessa’s situation.
He hadn’t spent proper time with Judy in a while.
But now, with all the rumors spreading through the social circles in the capital, Joseph was determined to win over Tessa.
After seeing her that one time, he hadn’t been able to get her out of his head.
Back in the living room, Judy could clearly feel how distant Joseph had be.
She knew her family background didn’t match his, so she’d been trying hard to fit into his
world, hoping to get closer to him.
She’d been doing everything she could to be the perfect socialite.
But in the end, nothing ever seemed to go her way…
