Dumping My Ex to Flash Marry the Untouchable CEO novel Chapter 514

Chapter 514

“I won’t let anyone take it from you.”

With that, Lucas stepped out and made a call to Desmond.

Desmond was still at the company, neck–deep in work.

He already felt drained, and when he saw Lucas‘ name pop up on his phone, he nearly blacked out.

Seriously? Was this never going to end?

He took a deep breath, trying to collect himself, then finally answered.

“Mr. Carter, what’s going on? What do you need?”

Lucas spoke in a low voice. “I won’t be able to return for now. Keep a close eye on the company for me.

“Also, find someone to monitor Walton Corporation. We can’t let anyone make a move while Aurora’s down.”

With that, he hung up.

Leaving Desmond standing there in stunned silence, winded like he’d just been punched in the gut.

He stared at the black screen, speechless.

What the hell was this? Were these two taking turns tormenting him?

He was already juggling everything on his own, and now they wanted to dump even more work on him.

Seriously, were this husband and wife tag–teaming just to ruin his life?

Desmond was filled with resentment, but he had no choice.

The truth was, Lucas paid him very well.

If he left this job, who knew where he’d find another one like it?

Might as well stick it out.

Just as he was about to find someone to keep tabs on Walton Corporation, a new message from Lucas popped up:

“I will increase your salary by tenfold this month.”

The moment Desmond saw “tenfold,” his

eyes lit up.

Suddenly, his back didn’t ache anymore, his headache vanished, and the world looked brighter than ever.

The future was promising he was still young, he could keep going.

Now, no matter what task he took on, one thing echoed

Desmond’s mind:

“Tenfold.”

And just like that, energy surged through him.

Desmond replied to Lucas with a cheerful message:

“Mr. Carter don’t worry. You just focus on staying by Mrs. Carter’s side. I’ve got both the company and Walton Corporation covered. If anything comes up, I’ll inform you right away. Money’s not the point–it’s all about loyalty.”

Lucas glanced at the message but didn’t reply.

He’d long understood that money could move mountains.

Spending a bit to get things done was worth it.

To him, money was nothing more than a string of cold numbers.

Rather than letting it sit idle, he’d rather put it to good use.

He stood up and looked at Aurora, still lying unconscious.
