Light 221

Alright, no rush. Just go ahead and use the materials,” David said with a smile, his tone clearly ingratiating Hearing that, Aurora’s suspicion only deepened 

Was this really the same David she used to know? Why did he seem like a completely different person now? 

Back then, his tone was always so arrogant. 

At best, he was indifferent–never once did he sound this eager to please 

Even after the call ended, Aurora was still staring at her phone, momentarily dazed. 

As for David, he finally breathed a sigh of relief. 

The supplies had been delivered. 

Aurora would probably say something nice on his behalf. 

If he could use this chance to get close to Vanguard Group, it was only a matter of time 

That thought alone lifted his spirits. 

Once he built a connection with Vanguard, he definitely wouldn’t forget Aurora, the one who linked them. 

This plan had been long in the making. 

It was exactly why he’d been acting so accommodating toward her. 

But on Aurora’s end, she was simply puzzled 

David really did seemn different now. 

Even her assistant had noticed it.

Aurora waved it off. “It’s fine. Let’s not overthink it. Since he gave us the supplies, we’ll use them. Worst case we’ll make up for it elsewhere down the line.” 

Since Aurora said that, her assistant had nothing more to add and could only follow her lead. 

Everyone at the company looked at Aurora with admiration in their eyes 

After all, no one had believed in her. But she had proven them all wrong 

It was just like last time–when she secured the Vanguard project 

No one had seen it coming 

When the news reached Tessa, she was so furious that she swept everything off her desk in the violent motion. 

The usual calm on her face vanished, replaced entirely by bitterness and jealousy. 

“Why is it that Aurora always manages to turn things around?” 

Tessa clenched her fists. 

Something wasn’t right. It felt like someone was secretly helping Aurora. 

Otherwise, how could she always come out on top so easily? 

Reading the message sent by ber informant, Tessa knew full well that Grace would now see Aurora in a whole new light 

After all, in Walton Corporation, capability was everything 

Chapter 221 

Even if she’d once had Grace’s favor, it was never something she could count on for the long run. 

Tessa was painfully aware of that. 

Clearly, she needed to come up 

a new plan….

Every time she pictured that smug look on Aurora’s face, Tessa felt if needles were pricking her chest. She couldn’t stand it. 

She wouldn’t allow this to contime. 

During this time, the project had been progressing smoothly. 

Even within Walton Corporation, people were treating Aurora very differently now. 

At the very least, they showed her more respect than before. 

Even her assistant was being treated better by the other companies 

After all, seeing that David had reconciled with Aurora and that their new contract was once again publicized online, all those rumors about internal strite at Walton Corporation crumbled on their own. 

Witnessing all this, many of those who had backed off earlier now returned to her door, hoping to pick up where they’d left off 

Aurora held no grudges and welcomed them back 

As the old saying goes, “One more friend means one less enemy. Why make things harder for herself?”
