Dumping My Ex to Flash Marry the Untouchable CEO Novel

Chapter 1048 Albert felt a chill settle deep in his chest . He already knew how this day would end . That useless woman Carol - she couldn't do anything right . Now she was unconscious , lying in the bedroom . +15 BONUS Honestly , it was probably a relief for her . Thinking that made Albert laugh at himself . Since when did passing out become a kind of blessing ? Why hadn't he realized it sooner ? The thought alone made Albert feel ridiculous . He stood in the living room , watching Grace and her group slowly approach .

The butler , trembling , asked , " Sir , should I close the living room doors ? " Albert shook his head , signaling no . With the way Grace looked today , there was no hiding from her . He had hoped to dodge her once , but who would've thought she'd come back around again ? Of course , this woman wouldn't rest until she got what she came for . " There's no escaping this . Let's just give it up . " Albert didn't bother reading the butler's expression . He walked straight toward Grace , a fawning smile plastered across his face . " Madam Grace , what a pleasant surprise . Long time no see .

" Grace didn't even know how to respond to that . She had just been here earlier , and now this man had the audacity to say such a thing ? " What , the doors locked just now - wasn't that your doing ? " Grace let out a cold chuckle . This old bastard really had no shame . He could lie through his teeth without blinking . Why hadn't she noticed that before ? Tessa crossed her arms and looked Albert up and down , her gaze full of disdain . 1/3 Chapter 1048 +15 BONUS She still remembered how different things had been during her last visit to the Hayes residence .

Back then , the old couple didn't act like this at all . Back then , both of them were eager for her to finalize the engagement as soon as possible . But now , facing her mother , why was he acting so spineless and submissive ? Tessa found it laughable . So , this was human nature after all . She really hadn't misjudged them - neither of them were any good . If she had married into that family , it would've been like throwing a lamb to the wolves , like a rabbit tossed into a den of predators . But now , she had come to understand something . These things were never hers to avoid .

Being born into a family like the Waltons meant the man she married could never be ordinary . He had to be someone who matched her status , nothing less . That was exactly why Tessa carried herself with such pride . For some reason , an image of Lucas suddenly flashed through her mind . Only someone like him was worthy of being her fiancé . A man like that was someone she could spend her life with . As for Julian ? No , thank you . That man was pathetic to begin with . Life with him would be nothing but dull routine , a future so predictable it wasn't worth imagining .

That kind of life was never what Tessa wanted . Meanwhile , Albert , hearing Grace's words , could only rub his hands together awkwardly and say , " Of course not . I was just resting earlier and didn't hear anyone knocking . " If it was my mistake , then I take full responsibility . " Grace rolled her eyes inwardly at such a pathetic excuse . Did he really think she'd believe that ? 2/3 Chapter 1048 But now wasn't the time to argue over nonsense like that . There was no point . Right now , her only goal was to make sure Julian ended up behind bars .
