Beyond the Divorce Chapter 489 A Sudden Confrontation
Upon hearing my reminder, she seemed to think I was trying to oppress her and instantly became furious, raising her voice several notches."Chloe, don't think that just because you rely on Atlas's connections to come here today, you feel like your worth has doubled. What are you? An outsider trying to establish yourself in Foswood? You really have some nerve. Even Matthew could easily shoo you away with a kick. Do you really think you can come and go as you please, you despicable wretch!"Liora's words were extremely cutting, but I paid them no mind. I was well aware of her character and had seen enough of her. There was no need to stoop to her level; I couldn't afford to lose my dignity here.I continued to speak softly, "I have always known how to put myself in the right place. It's true I'm an outsider, but I started my business with my own wisdom, aboveboard and honest. I would expect you to have a bit of decorum. At least, show some respect for Atticus. No matter what, we shoul

Rose pulled me to sit down, her face still grim. I glanced around the table, not seeing Liora, but I did notice Atticus still there. His eyes were fixed on me, and it seemed he must have noticed what had transpired.Fearful that Rose might continue her outburst and embarrass Atticus, I quickly reached out and poured her a cup of tea. "Grandma Rose, please have some tea."She sighed and looked at me, seemingly complaining, "You are such a considerate girl. If only I had a granddaughter like you."Upon hearing Rose's words, Bella suddenly smiled and said, "Grandma Rose, you and Mr. Archie are so similar. You always dwell on shortcomings. Since you like Chloe so much, why don't I suggest that Mr. Archie just accept Chloe as his daughter?"This statement completely stunned me. What was Bella thinking? She continued to smile gently. "Having a granddaughter would make you happy, and Mr. Archie would have a daughter too. If you care for her, it would give her support and prevent others fr
Beyond the Divorce Chapter 491 Striking a Deal
The next day, I had just walked into the office when Atticus followed suit.I wondered why he was here or if it had anything to do with yesterday’s events.After sitting on the couch, he said, “Congratulations, Ms. Chloe!”I smiled. Indeed, these past few days have been filled with so much good news that it was almost overwhelming.Taking a seat on the couch, I looked at him. “Mr. Atticus, you’re not just here to congratulate me, right?”Carol brought in some tea, and I said. “The tea here is sourced from the Vanderberg Palace. Have some.”"You certainly have your ways. You got tea from the Vanderberg Palace. You only recently met Bella, but your relationship with her has already progressed." Atticus’s words held a deeper meaning.“Are you referring to yesterday’s incident?” I scrutinized his face. “For me, that was an accident.”Atticus affirmed, “I’m here because I need your help with something.”“How can I assist you, Mr. Atticus? If I can, I’ll give it my all.”He looke
Beyond the Divorce Chapter 492 Every Man for Himself
Atticus opened up to me, revealing all of Liora’s actions over the past few years. Some were truly shocking.“So all I need is a starting point to remove her from the Cole family completely,” Atticus said. “And you, Chloe, are the one who can make it happen. That’s why I put on a brave face and came to seek your help today.”Atticus chuckled awkwardly. “I must admit, she’s tarnished my reputation beyond repair!”“She’s the one in the wrong, not you,” I assured him.After some contemplation, I agreed with him. This wasn’t just helping him. It was also helping me. Based on what Atticus had confided in me, if I didn’t deal with her, she would become an obstacle. She was a potential threat to me.Atticus handed me the evidence of her collusion with Stella and Celine. Especially with the recent addition of Trinity, if these three joined forces against me, I wouldn’t stand a chance.As Atticus put it, it was best to nip this problem in the bud. It was every man for himself.After bi
Beyond the Divorce Chapter 493 Drunk with a Clear Mind
Alarmed, I pounded on the door forcefully. "Lauren, open up! I know you're in there! It's me, Chloe!"I pounded for an eternity and finally heard some shuffling from inside. I breathed a sigh of relief. "Lauren, it's me, Chlo. Please open the door, okay?"Finally, the door clicked open. I was flooded with relief and quickly pushed the door open. What I saw inside made me gasp.As the door swung open, I found Lauren lying on the floor, looking disheveled and far from herself."Lauren!" I rushed in and lifted her, gently brushing away the tangled mess of hair on her face. "Lauren, what have you done? Lauren..."My hand stroked her cheek, but the room was heavy with the odor of alcohol, making it difficult to breathe. I set her down and rushed to open all the windows. Then I hurried back to hold her. Not letting Carol stay was a mistake. I quickly pulled out my phone, intending to call Carol and ask her to return. I was worried about Lauren in this state. However, she clumsily
Beyond the Divorce Chapter 494 Reclaiming My Dignity
If it weren’t for her, I might not have moved on. So, I resolved to stand by her from now on. Lauren was a wonderful friend.As I tidied up the messy room, I fed her the hangover soup. She seemed to recover.“Lauren! Are you feeling better?” I tried to talk to her.She made a couple of sounds, then fell silent again. I wanted to take her to the hospital, but I just couldn’t move her. After observing her for a while, I still wasn’t sure. So, I had to call Atlas and tell him about Lauren’s condition. He drove over.Seeing Lauren’s condition, he picked her up and took her straight to the hospital. It wasn’t until she received an IV that I could relax.Ivanna found out and came to Lauren’s room. We both kept her company as she slept.Lauren didn’t wake up until the following day. She still didn’t look too good.She looked around, confused. “Why am I in the hospital?”I replied a bit impatiently, “Where else would you be? Did you think we’d leave you at home to die? Don’t you know
Beyond the Divorce Chapter 495 Stand Up for Yourself
Lauren’s gaze was fixed on a spot for a long time.“Before his wife passed away, she called me to her side. She told Oliver that after she’s gone, he should marry me and give me my rightful status. She said she had occupied my position for so many years, living a half-dead existence. She urged Oliver not to let me down.”Lauren’s voice was hoarse and hopeless. I started to worry.“She also said that Oliver can’t touch the current house or their savings. After all, they have a son, so those things will go to him. She asked me not to be angry and that she was being selfish. She said that once she’s gone and Oliver marries me, she can’t interfere anymore.”I thought that his wife was wise."She mentioned the bracelet given by the Hansen family when they got married. She gave it to me, saying it was something only a true Hansen family daughter-in-law could have. She passed it down so I could be a part of the Hansen family..."She looked at me as she blinked back tears. “Do you know w
Beyond the Divorce Chapter 496 The Beringer Family’s Pet
We returned to the Beringer family’s residence, and this time was truly a family dinner.I wasn't as nervous this time. Key figures like Archie were genuinely kind and amiable, while Grandma Rose had already instructed her own cooks, bustling about with the preparations.Upon seeing me and Atlas enter, she happily pulled me over. "Why are you here so late?""Grandma, sorry for keeping you waiting. A good friend of mine suddenly had an issue, and I helped her, which made me a bit late." She pulled me to sit in the living room, appraising me as if she hadn't quite remembered my appearance from that day. "You’re truly a kind girl.”Then she sent a servant upstairs to call for someone, while Atlas and Archie were chatting on the side.Before long, footsteps came from the staircase. I looked up and saw two imposing, handsome men coming down from upstairs. However, the two of them had entirely different demeanors.One was scholarly and reserved, while the other was energetic and fashio
