Light 359_Dumping My Ex to Flash Marry the Untouchable CEO

“If you really saw him, then post the photo. Let’s see if the man in your so–called ‘sighting‘ actually matches the one in her post.”

 That <bment silenced the crowd.

 It was a valid point.

 Why hadn’t Aurora spoken up earlier? Why wait days before addressing the rumors?

 But Aurora didn’t see any of that. After posting her rification, she had put her phone away.

 Right now, her only focus was saving Walton Corporation’s crashing stock.

 Unless the market rebounded, her mother wouldn’t let her off the hook, and her position as general manager would remain on the line.

 If she didn’t handle this properly, that seat would feel more like a guillotine.

 So, Aurora poured herself into work, choosing to ignore the shifting tides of online opinion.

 She’d already seen the first wave of reversal–anyone withmon sense could figure the rest out on their own.

 But Lucas hadn’t looked away from the chaos for a second.

 He had been watching every update, every <bment. And now that the bacsh had begun to shift, his demeanor changedpletely.

 “Desmond, track down the IDs of those leading the smear campaign,” he said calmly, but with unmistakable authority.

 Desmond pulled out his phone, scrolling through the

 Sure enough, a few users stood out, clearly pushing the narrative.

 “Got it. Don’t worry, sir. I’ll get to the bottom of this.‘

 Lucas gave a slight nod. “Also suppress the trending heat on this.” 

 “Understood.”

 Desmond left immediately to handle it.

 After so many years working by Lucas’s side, he knew exactly what needed to be done- -discreet, thorough, and fast. 

 Not only did he need to trace the people behind the posts, but he also had orders to shut them down entirely.

 This might be the digital age, but that didn’t mean people could throw around false usations without consequence. 

 Everyone had to be responsible for their words–no one got to hide behind a keyboard and escape ountability.

 A short while <bter, Desmond returned, efficient as ever.

 “Sir, I’ve found them.” 

 In less than twenty minutes, Desmond had the full report.

 He’d uncovered exactly who was stirring the pot behind the scenes. 

 Lucas turned to him, his gaze sharp and expectant.

 Desmond pushed the <bptop toward him. “Sir, take a look. All of these ounts were directed by Tessa Walton.” 

 “Her sister?” Lucas‘ tone cooled instantly.

 Desmond nodded with solemn certainty. 

 At first, even he hadn’t believed it.

 After all, they were sisters.

 And yet, Tessa had been behind a smear campaign involving her own sibling and her sibling’s fiancé. 

 It was unthinkable, Desmond himself had been stunned when the results came in.

 “I understand,” Lucas said calmly. “Suppress the trending tags first.” 

 With that, he gave no further instructions.

 He couldn’t tell Aurora the truth yet.

 Not while she was still preupied with the general manager position, something that had already been weighing heavily on her.

 Thest thing she needed was inore emotional chaos on top of it.
