Beyond the Divorce Chapter 462 Suffer at the Brink of Death
Matthew could only hang his head, unable to argue.“You’re a man, and you can’t even protect your mother? She raised Melanie, and this is how she’s repaid? Melanie, Melanie... Is the whole Murphy family indebted to her?” My words were bitter, but I just couldn’t keep quiet at a time like this. How did I ever fall for such an idiot?"Do you know how humiliated she has been her entire life? Her husband cheated on her right in front of her, keeping his mistress under the same roof. In the end, she had to raise that woman's bastard child.”I was enraged, even yelling words I never thought I would say. My outburst surprised me.“Now, this despicable Melanie, along with that woman who brought her a lifetime of shame, are ganging up on her. How could Grace not fall ill?”Matthew looked at me without saying anything back."Ask Melanie why she insists on taking Grace to the hospital. Does it come from a sudden sense of duty to treat her right and save her life?" I glared at Matthew.He

I frowned and went to check. Melanie's fiery presence greeted me as I swung open the office door.Two junior employees were holding her back. Eleanor and Carol were both there, witnessing the scene. Melanie looked as if she had come here ready for a fight.I glanced at Carol and nodded. “Let her go!”Melanie shook her shoulders and adjusted her sleeves once she was free. “Chloe, you shameless woman. Did you seduce Matthew again? What did you say to him?”Turning to Benjamin, I said, “Call Matthew and have him come pick up his dear wife. She may not be ashamed of her behavior, but I certainly am!”I could see that people from other floors were already sneaking glances at us.“Stop fucking pretending! Do you think you’re a saint?!” Melanie was fuming as she yelled, “You two are divorced. Why are you still meddling in our family affairs? What did you say to Matthew that he came home berserk?" I understood what she meant. It seemed like Matthew had taken action after returning from

"Do you think Grace had an easy time raising you?" I continued, “Your mother only gave birth to you and caused havoc to the Murphy family. But you’ve teamed up with your mother to bully Grace? Do you think you would be here today if Grace weren’t so kind?"“Chloe, spare us your nonsense! Our family matters are none of your business!”I pressed on. “When you can’t sleep at night, reflect on your past. How many times have you been on the brink of life and death? Has Grace ever given up on you? "She took you to the hospital tirelessly, though she couldn’t even buy clothes for herself. Even I have spent time and money caring for you countless times. And I was an outsider who only joined the Murphy family later. Do you have an ounce of conscience regarding Grace?”Others in the office joined in, criticizing her. After all, most of the people in this building were familiar with her. Melanie had lost all moral integrity.“Chloe, don’t pretend to be righteous. You’re no saint, either. Yo
Beyond the Divorce Chapter 465 Pushed to the Edge
Just then, the elevator dinged, and a figure strode over. “Chlo, stop it, let her go!”It was Matthew. He rushed over, prying my hands apart. After he flung me aside, I lunged at Melanie again.Matthew glared at me, shouting, “What are you trying to do? Chloe... I’m warning you, let go!”Melanie was now in Matthew’s arms, panting and coughing. Her face, once purple, was returning to its normal color. After catching her breath, she pointed at me and cried out to Matthew, “Matt, hit her! You saw it. She was trying to kill me. She’s been plotting against me. Make her pay!”Once more, I charged at her. I had never felt so out of control in my life, even when Matthew was violent toward me. No one could stop me. Melanie’s face turned pale with fear.Benjamin, Carol, and Eleanor tried to restrain me, holding onto my trembling body.Matthew was taken aback. He shouted at everyone, “What are you all trying to do? Ganging up on a defenseless woman? You’re really...”Before he could
Beyond the Divorce Chapter 466 Another Episode of Chaos
Matthew’s slap sent Melanie sprawling. Her body skidded across the floor before she finally stopped. She lay there and writhed in a fit of hysterical sobs. She cursed, drawing disdainful gazes from everyone present.Benjamin spat, “Leave, all of you! Listen to me, Melanie. It’s not over. The cops will dig up every detail. As long as you’re involved, you’ll pay. Matthew, take your bitch and get lost. You’re the reason your mother fell so ill.”Benjamin did not flinch nor stutter as he continued, “I’m not afraid of you. Sooner or later, that bitch will ruin you.”Matthew realized how humiliated he was with a crowd of furious onlookers staring at him. He grabbed Melanie by the hair and dragged her into the elevator, leaving our office floor in defeat.Carol waved to disperse the crowd, saying, “All right, that’s enough! Let’s get back to work, everyone!”I returned to my office and sank into my chair, panting. I had to suppress my fury.Meanwhile, Carol and Eleanor entered. The latt

An hour later, I left and visited Ivanna. When I arrived, I saw the composed Jared standing at her bedside. He usually looked like that, but I saw his slight panic that night.The two seemed to be enjoying each other’s company at that moment. When I entered, Jared rose and told Ivanna, “You two chat. I’ll be back in a bit.”Then, he nodded at me and left the ward.I gazed at Ivanna and noticed she looked much better. She asked, “Where’s Lauren?”“Well, Oliver’s wife isn’t doing well, so she left for their place yesterday. I didn’t get the chance to call Lauren today,” I replied while taking a seat, “Tell me about your progress.”Ivanna smiled bitterly and shook her head, her complexion growing pale. I consoled her, “Don’t rush. Try to take it easy.”I wanted to change the subject, but she interjected, “I had prepared myself for this since I started seeing him. Still, I never expected Trinity to…”Although she trailed off, I understood she lacked the courage to continue. Even an

Ivanna sat up and looked at me, saying, “Matthew will regret it one day. His protectiveness over Melanie is just an expression of his insecurities. He always feels his inadequacies around you.“You outshine him in every way, whether it’s Tanum Corporation’s founding or your decision-making skills.”“I didn’t mean it that way, Ivanna.” I was puzzled, wondering how my abilities could pressure Matthew.“That’s the unfortunate truth. Matthew fears you but doesn’t want to accept it. That’s why he’s constantly trying to change that. He wants to surpass you and be a real man, but he can’t do it,” Ivanna said.I couldn’t agree more and added, “Add Melanie’s deliberate seduction to that.”“You’re right. So, Matthew finds a sense of masculinity with Melanie. He revels in a woman’s adoration and dependency. That was why he wanted to take the lead when you were pregnant. Matthew showed his fear of you surpassing him.“It’s not just his vulnerability, but his whole family’s. That’s why they’r

We spent the afternoon openly sharing our thoughts, turning it into a ranting session. After a while, we smiled at each other knowingly.As it was getting late, Atlas called, saying he would pick me up for dinner. I excused myself, and coincidentally, Jared returned to the ward at the same time.When I got downstairs, Atlas was waiting. Amidst the crowd, he always stood out, shining like a star.Seeing me, the cold demeanor on his handsome face immediately softened, and he extended his hand to me. "Tired?""Definitely hungry." I replied with a coy smile."Then let's feed you quickly." He smiled warmly. "And later, you'll have the energy to feed me too."I was about to explode at his suggestive remark. This man and his constant innuendos.He playfully pulled me into his arms and we got into his car. His entourage took my car back home.As soon as we sat down at the restaurant, someone approached. When I looked up, I met a pair of gloomy eyes, none other than that of Harmony. It

Beyond the Divorce Chapter 1558 The Finale
Four months later, at a hospital in Foswood.After being wheeled out of the delivery room, I saw my entire family waiting for me outside.My grandmother, supported by Hana, walked up to me, trembling. "Chlo, my Chlo, you've been through so much!"Beside my grandmother was a girl who looked a lot like me, standing silently beside my grandmother. She was the one who had been crafted to be my counterfeit.What was even more dramatic was that the DNA test results had revealed that she was actually my parents' daughter. When we found out, we cried tears of joy. It was truly heaven-sent. From then on, I gained another sister, who was like a twin to me.Feeling a little weak, I looked at her kind smile and said, "Grandma! It's two boys!""We all saw them. They’re very handsome and healthy! I can finally rest assured. My daughter has a life partner now," Ivanna said as she eagerly squeezed by my side.Everyone burst into laughter. Jared reached out his long arm and pulled her back. "Com
Beyond the Divorce Chapter 1557 Finally Finding It
I closed my eyes, trying hard to recall my dreams. Usually, this scenario always appeared in my dreams, but now I couldn't remember any details.Atlas looked at me indulgently. "Take your time, don't rush. Your mom will help us."I took a deep breath, clearing all the distractions from my mind. I seemed to see my mom holding my hand, eagerly walking into the woods, looking around and at the treetops. As we ventured deeper into the woods, I asked, "Where are you taking me, Mom? The woods are so dark. I'm scared! Don't go in, Mom. There might be wild animals!""Don't be afraid. I'm here with you. We need to find the tallest tree.""Why do we need to find the tallest tree?""So you can remember!""But I can't walk anymore. I'm scared!""Go sit on that rock for a while. I'll come to you.""A rock," I murmured as I suddenly opened my eyes.I quickly stood up, searching for a place with rocks."Search where there are rocks," Atlas instructed the others.Everyone dispersed quickly,
Beyond the Divorce Chapter 1556 I Know Where It Is
I gazed at Atlas's anxious face, his features wavering before my eyes. "Chlo... tell me what's wrong," he said, concern etched on his handsome face. I glanced around the room, noticing all our loved ones present, their faces filled with worry, both inside and outside the door.Closing my eyes, I nestled into Atlas's embrace. I felt exhausted like never before. With a soft murmur, I confessed, "I'm... I'm okay." My head throbbed fiercely with an unbearable sensation."I'm fine," I repeated before settling back into his arms, still as a statue. In my ears, the echoes of my dream lingered.A team of medical staff rushed in. Atlas patted me gently. "Let the doctors check you out, sweetheart. You've been out for 48 hours! Let them examine you, okay?"He eased me onto the bed. After the doctors finished their examination, they briefed Atlas on the results.I drifted back to sleep, this time for real, unaware of anything.When I woke up again, the room was bright. Blinking, I look
Beyond the Divorce Chapter 1555 Kenzie’s Death
Ernest was truly shaken by the sight before him, visibly trembling in fear."Everyone in the car, get out! You have one minute." After Atlas's words, several red dots appeared on the foreheads of the people inside the car.The driver immediately wet himself in fear, raising his hands. "N-No... please!..."As his hand reached for the door handle to exit the car, Kenzie shot him dead. I screamed in terror, but at the same time, the man in the passenger seat slumped over, also dead.However, that shot came from a sniper outside.The others were dumbfounded. The two men beside me immediately grabbed their heads and crouched down."Get out of the car!" Kenzie shouted loudly.The two men beside me acted as if they had been granted clemency, reaching to open the car door and shouting, "Don't shoot!" Then, they rolled out of the car, clutching their heads."Kenzie... release Chloe... save me!" Ernest wailed, his appearance filled with disdain.Kenzie's voice trembled. "Ernest...""

"I really haven't seen anything. What are you talking about? My dad never told me about this!" I gritted my teeth, holding onto this secret, but it was clear they already knew about the existence of the survey maps."If you want your children to live, you better tell me the truth. Otherwise, I won't hesitate to show you no mercy. Let me tell you the truth, I didn't plan on leaving alive!" Kenzie's admission was chilling."Then if I die, bitch, I'll take you down with me. Oh... no, scratch that. It'll be you and your children. Haha… So, tell me!" She hit me with the back of the gun."Kenzie, you know how Atlas feels about me. He wouldn't let me be harmed. Do you really think he'd tell me too much? About those maps you mentioned, not only do I not know, but I haven't even seen them. “Even if they exist, my father would only tell him..." I appealed to Atlas's protective feelings toward me, a reasonable plea since most men would be protective of their loved ones, especially Atlas.Ju

I adjusted my breathing and asked, "What do you want to know?"Although I asked this, my mind raced. "He's been back for some time now and has said too much... You've got to tell me, what exactly do you want to know?""Louis and Rory had a secret between them. What was it?" Kenzie said, her voice dripping with malice."They…" I deliberately gasped loudly, buying myself some time. I knew Atlas would come to rescue me. My priority was to protect my children."They... two of them had a... sizable sum of money..." Since that money was already in our hands, I thought it would be futile even if they knew.Kenzie completely released her grip and then shoved my head forward abruptly. My body plunged forward, but quick reflexes saved me as I grabbed onto the front seat, steadying myself."What money? How much?" Kenzie seemed very interested."The amount is significant, but I don't know exactly." I played coy with her. After all, everyone was interested in money matters.Of course, Kenzi
Beyond the Divorce Chapter 1552 A Sudden Kidnapping
The screech of brakes pierced the air, and a gray car halted right in front of me. Instinctively, I stepped back, unable to discern the make of the car before two individuals leaped out and swiftly pulled me into the vehicle. Simultaneously, a panicked cry sounded from behind me, "Chlo…"Before I could even assess the situation inside the car, it bolted forward."What do you want? Who are you people?" I struggled and shouted.Suddenly, a hand reached out from behind, gripping my neck tightly, and a chilling voice whispered, "Enough."With just those words, I instantly recognized the person. The voice was all too familiar.I steadied my nerves and spoke with feigned calmness, "Kenzie, you've got some nerve, attacking me in broad daylight. It seems like you're really desperate. What? Your plan failed, didn't it?"My neck was forcefully pulled backward. The sudden suffocation drove me to claw at the arm, choking me instinctively."Don't move! If you don't want to die so soon, beh
Beyond the Divorce Chapter 1551 Across the Road
Atlas's face darkened as he uttered a curt "Hmm" and hung up the phone.Turning to Tristan, he said, "Escort Mrs. Chloe back to the office."He looked at me and softened his tone, "You go back to the office first, I'll come to pick you up later." Atlas expressed a hint of apology."Okay." I nodded.Tristan escorted me to my office and gave me some instructions before leaving.Then, my phone rang. It was a call from Trinity. I quickly answered, "Chlo, I'm about to head to the airport, I’m going to Yare. Do you have any messages for the old lady?"Her sudden question caught me off guard. I really didn't know what message to convey. After all, the old lady of the Avila family to me was just an impression from a photo."No. Let's talk after everything's settled. I'll arrange a time to visit her," I said lightly.Although the travel ban for me had been lifted with the situation becoming clearer, Yare was in turmoil, and I was pregnant. I didn't want to make any promises to the old l
Beyond the Divorce Chapter 1550 Who is the Biggest Shareholder?
Atticus carefully watched the agitated Mia as he sat in the wheelchair. He pulled out a document and held it out for the media to see."ATL Empire invested 10 billion in Echelon Group a month ago, intending to work together to build a new real estate development and construction field in Zydan. I regret to inform you that you’re no longer a significant shareholder in Echelon, Miss Mia."Even I was shocked by that investment certificate. I looked at Atlas, who seemed confident."To be more accurate, Echelon Group had already signed this agreement before I went to Celestis Island. The real largest shareholder of Echelon Group is ATL Empire. I’m just a partner."As you planned, the shares had long been diluted, but unfortunately, not by you, but by ATL Empire. But I still want to thank you for helping me remove the scum from Echelon Group and purifying Echelon’s ranks."Mia suddenly stood up and banged her fist on the table. She shouted, "Impossible! Atticus, are you playing me?""Y
