Beyond the Divorce Chapter 586 She’s Different Now
When we returned to Lauren's new home, she was instantly stunned by the spacious, bright, and luxurious surroundings. She turned around and hugged us both, choking up with emotion."Thank you! I finally have my own home." Her words made me suddenly feel sentimental and teary-eyed.I patted her back gently and said, "You can be at ease now. This is your world. You don’t need to think about anyone else while you’re here. We’ll both support you, no matter what decision you make."That night, Ivanna and I stayed by Lauren's side. We had a heartfelt conversation in that comfortable environment.We talked until dawn.In the morning, I watched them sleep peacefully, then sighed quietly and left. I needed to go to the hospital to see Trinity.My heart hurt when I saw Trinity. In just a few days, she had lost a lot of weight. Her eyes looked like they were bulging out of their sockets, and she seemed as though she had transformed into a different person.The lack of makeup revealed her t
Beyond the Divorce Chapter 587 A Friend She Longed For
I looked at her lively expression, and felt relieved. It seemed like all the barriers between us had completely disappeared."I know you're a straightforward person. You’re not looking to take advantage, and this definitely isn’t for personal gain. But I want to make one thing clear. You don’t need to feel the need to become my friend just because I took a hit for you. I’d rather not have a friend like that." Her hand emerged from the blanket, grabbing mine. "That was how it was at first," I admitted without reservation. It felt wrong to hide anything from someone like Trinity. I needed to be honest with her. "I didn't expect you to take the hit for me with no hesitation. It made me feel guilty. I felt bad that I said those cold words to you the night before and made you feel that we couldn't be friends.""That did bother me a lot. It hurt my self-esteem." Her face turned cold."But even though you said we couldn't be friends, you still saved my life. So I felt regretful and gui
Beyond the Divorce Chapter 588 You Need to Help Me
I thought for a moment and didn’t refuse. Instead, I asked, "Where should we meet?"Matthew seemed surprised that I had agreed so quickly and eagerly provided the location.I headed straight to the location he mentioned, which turned out to be a club.As a precaution, I called Johnson again in the car to check on the current situation with Matthew.Since I had been busy with matters in Bourdamun, I hadn’t had time to pay attention to them these past few days.As I suspected, Matthew's call was related to the withdrawal of funds between him and Liora.Sure enough, Johnson informed me that the situation was still deadlocked. No one was willing to back down. Strangely, Liora had not signed a contract for Avalon Hills despite not moving forward with the withdrawal of funds.He said that he had followed my advice and was working on stabilizing other projects for Matthew.After ending the call with Johnson, I felt more confident. It seemed that Atticus's prediction was correct. Liora

I responded with a distant smile, acknowledging that his sources were well-informed.Without delving into the specifics of how he knew about my success in Bourdamun, I casually said, "The decision to hold on or let go depends on what aligns with your own interests. I always choose a path that better suits my personal development."Matthew seemed somewhat disgruntled at my response. "It looks like you still have reservations about me, Chlo."I asked, "What do you mean?"I understood what he was implying. He had been unsettled by my smooth journey. He chuckled awkwardly. “I don’t think I could have endured being overshadowed by a woman if you were as helpful as you are now during our time together. Sometimes, I really don’t understand how everything happened the way it did. We were a good match, and you’re still important to me. When we were building the company together back then…”"Let's remain focused on the matter at hand, Matthew," I interrupted, avoiding any reminiscing abou
Beyond the Divorce Chapter 590 Outrageous Thoughts
Matthew's expression grew somber, revealing a mix of bitterness and deep-seated resentment.“We’re dealing with Liora here. Attempting to outmaneuver her, especially after she proposed withdrawing funds, will definitely be an uphill battle. Do you really believe there's any chance of success?" I bombarded Matthew with questions, strategically hitting his vulnerabilities to make him feel the weight of the situation.I also delved into his past ruthless tactics to secure Avalon Hills and the substantial financial investments he had made. "Have you ever thought about why Liora suggested withdrawing funds?" I questioned, adding another layer to his dilemma.My analysis of Liora's motives was rooted in Atticus’s speculations. He had lived with Liora for over a decade, and now he wanted to kick her out of his sphere of interests. That alone spoke volumes about Liora's strategic prowess.I looked at Matthew and continued, "She clearly intends to leverage Avalon Hills to negotiate with you
Beyond the Divorce Chapter 591 The Butterfly Effect
I was about to refute him when he interrupted me again."A project as large as the Bourdamun development landing in your hands, Chloe... Do you really believe it’s not because of the Beringer family's influence? You're just lucky, that's all!""Why do I have to ask you to help smooth things over? Isn't that a bit too much?" He gave me the impression that I was obligated to charge into battle for him.I angrily cut him off. "Put away your petty mindset! I was able to be in charge of Bourdamun because of my capabilities. “I worked hard to build my qualifications. It’s also because of my sincerity and perseverance in collaborating with ATL Empire to further Tanum's reputation. It's based on my hands-on approach, good quality, and reputation. No shortcuts… I despise those vile methods.”That was when I realized that Matthew hated this standing the most. It was unlike him, who cut corners and had an extremely poor reputation."That is enough!" He said, “Don’t act all righteous. Could
Beyond the Divorce Chapter 592 The Mastermind
I was seething, and our exchange was nothing short of a verbal sparring match."You should know better than anyone that it's never too late to mend fences. Don't dwell on irrelevant things," I countered sharply."I conduct myself with transparency. Please don’t judge my integrity based on your small-mindedness. It was my work, not some personal connection, that got the project in Bourdamun. Don’t try your tricks on me!"The only way to defeat Liora is through your own actions. Use your brain. Why do you think she is withdrawing funds now? She clearly believes she has secured Avalon Hills, and she’s trying to capitalize on this opportunity to take over Ardora.”Both of us were aware of the unspoken truth, but we were avoiding the issue. If I were to gloss over it, he wouldn't realize his mistakes."Matthew, your current situation is entirely your fault. How could the wolf have entered the house if you had pursued development without colluding with the Thompson family?"Matthew cou
Beyond the Divorce Chapter 593 A Good Person
It was understandable for two rival companies, especially fierce competitors like us, to be cautious. So, I approached the topic differently. "You don't have to give me the details. I'm just using it as an example. You shouldn’t be concerned if you’re in charge of these projects, have signed contracts, and have the power to negotiate and oversee construction. Stand tall, use it as leverage, and negotiate with her."As I continued eating, I offered Matthew advice and suggestions.Matthew finally disclosed a few unfavorable aspects, and I pondered, providing him with guidance and a well-thought-out plan.Matthew's face lit up, smiling and feeling somewhat triumphant. I glanced disdainfully at him, set down my utensils, and reached for a few napkins to dab at the corners of my mouth."Now, it's up to you on how to proceed. You must establish a solid foundation with the subcontractors. That's crucial. If the partners don't turn against you, you've won," I explained clearly. This wa
