Beyond the Divorce Chapter 64 Heartbroken and Alone
I was nervous as I waited in bed. Closing my eyes, I tried to calm myself and whispered, "Everything happens for a reason. Don't force what's not meant to be."Lost in my thoughts, the two men finally reentered the room. My heart leaped to my throat, but I forced a smile.Fred spoke first. "Ms. Chloe, I have urgent matters to attend to, so I must head back. I’d like you to come to our company if you feel better tomorrow. I won't disturb you further today. Please take care of your health."My heart sank. I nodded while releasing my clenched hands. "Alright. See you tomorrow." "I'll be waiting for you at my office," he said before rushing off as if racing against time.His detachedness made me realize how harsh the business world was. The room fell silent, and my emotions hit rock bottom. It seemed I had utterly forgotten about Atlas's presence.After a while, I heard Atlas ask, "Aren't you curious about what we discussed?"I shook my head faintly, not wanting to reveal my feel
Beyond the Divorce Chapter 65 The Game Has Officially Begun
My life drastically changed when I entered the Urban Builders office. The surprise that Fred had in store for me left me utterly speechless.He signed an exclusive agency contract with me. Not only that, a construction company worth 150 million dollars was registered in my nameFred also dispatched a professional team for structural design and construction for me. I struggled to find the right words to express my gratitude.He shook my hand and said, "We mutually benefit from this, so you don’t have to say anything. You’ve saved me from a critical situation yet again, and being able to help you is an honor. "After we both overcome these challenges, visit me in the city. Please stay in touch and let us know if you need anything.”He handed me a comprehensive set of documents about steel windows and the paperwork.I sincerely thanked him and said, "Okay. Then there’s no need for me to say anything else. Until we meet again!"As I left the Urban Builders office, I said to myself,
Beyond the Divorce Chapter 66 The Show is Starting Soon
“That’s nonsense. You’ve become pretty sensitive, you little devil,” Matthew teased while playfully patting my butt. “I’ll pamper my lovely wife tonight.”I smiled and nestled into his arms, saying, “I’m hungry and feeling under the weather. How could you do that to me?”He scrutinized me. "Are you genuinely not feeling well? Why didn't you bring Ava back with you?""You wouldn't believe it. Ava's having a blast with my parents and doesn’t want to leave. She didn’t even glance at me when I left. Our neighbors have several kids, and she's obsessed with hanging out with them, so I let her stay there for a while.”I had another reason for leaving Ava at my mom’s place—it freed me from distractions."We’ll do as you say. Take a break while I prepare dinner," Matthew comforted and hugged me before heading to the kitchen.Shortly after, I went to the bedroom, changed the sheets, and tossed them into the washing machine. The thought of tainted sheets made me queasy. Matthew came to call
Beyond the Divorce Chapter 67 Drifting Away
As expected, Matthew didn’t return that night. Meanwhile, I tossed and turned, unable to sleep.The following morning, Ivanna called with some news. She told me that Melanie had caught Matthew and Lauren in the act. I felt conflicted, unable to decide whether to feel delighted or sad. Despite my plans going smoothly, I couldn’t find joy.After washing up and getting dressed, I headed to the office. I only returned to my senses when I realized Matthew was not at the company building. Soon after, I realized a painful truth. Matthew had already slipped away, even if I hadn’t set him up.However, I reminded myself not to give up on my revenge. I instructed Johnson to call and inform Matthew to come to work, saying there was a rumor about ATL Empire only choosing two companies for the project.I also wanted Matthew to think Tanum Corporation and another company were out of the picture. Since I knew Matthew’s ambitions, I was confident he wanted to secure the collaboration with ATL Empir
Beyond the Divorce Chapter 68 Adding Fuel to the Fire
I realized my question was a mistake. However, Matthew’s lips twitched before he regained his composure and said, “It was Lauren’s lover!”His answer shocked me.“Honey, please believe me and give me another chance. We must secure ATL Empire instead of letting this small issue distract us. You founded Tanum Corporation, so I’m sure you want to expand. I made a mistake, but you can’t give up on our goal because of it.”After a pause, he held me tightly and said, “Chlo, I was wrong.”I didn’t know how to respond since Matthew knew my weak spots. Soon after, I pushed him away and left his office, reminding myself to stay clear-headed. I couldn’t afford any mistakes, especially since Matthew still protected his sister.When I returned to my office, I revisited all the online trending topics and realized we had missed something—the person who had caught Matthew and Lauren in the hotel.I asked Ivanna to push for more information. Soon, a post asking about the identity of the person wh

Matthew started but seemed to lose his confidence and trailed off. I continued with my task and refrained from speaking. After all, I was the victim, so it would be illogical for me to offer advice or help.Suddenly, we heard knocks at the door, and Matthew hurried to open it. We were surprised to see Ivanna at the house.She entered, slammed the door, and shouted at Matthew, “You’re a heartless bastard! I don’t even know what to say right now!”Matthew knew she was always fiery and straightforward. Moreover, her outburst didn’t surprise him because he knew she and I were best friends. Instead of retorting, he lowered his head and looked remorseful.“Didn’t I tell you not to fool around behind Chlo’s back?! Do you remember what you promised me?” Ivanna continued to defend me, “How could you do that to her?! She moved to Foswood and struggled with you all these years.“You’re everything to her, yet you’ve never considered how hurt she would be when you slept with that woman last ni
Beyond the Divorce Chapter 70 A Mere Shield
Ivanna urged us to eat when the food arrived, “No matter how big the problem is, you two must fill your stomachs before solving it. Chlo, I haven’t seen you in a few days, and you’re already as thin as a toothpick.”I realized she was trying to make Matthew feel even more guilty.He stole a glance at me and served me food while Ivanna spoke, targeting Matthew’s weak spot, “Matthew, you must find a way to stop things from escalating. This problem will affect Chlo and the company’s reputation.“Nonetheless, the business must go on, right? I know how hard you two have worked to build Tanum Corporation.”“I considered that, but…” Matthew stole a glance at me. “But I’m afraid Chlo won’t be happy.”“I don’t give a damn! You knew cheating would crush her, but you did it anyway. Why didn’t you think about her feelings then?” Ivanna continued to criticize him.Matthew turned flushed as he gritted his teeth."I don't know much about your company, and Chlo hasn't told me anything. Chlo, yo

Ivanna looked at me sympathetically while I stared back. I was trying hard not to cry."Chlo, don't be upset. We're in this together now," she said, trying to console me. My eyes welled up with tears, and I rushed into the bathroom.I quickly texted Johnson, washed my face, and returned to the room."What should we do?" I asked, my voice trembling. "I-I'm ready to do whatever it takes. I don't care about my pride anymore."Tears streamed down my face, and I felt utterly helpless.Suddenly, Matthew's phone rang. He glanced at the screen, then hurriedly answered. Although I couldn’t hear what was said, I saw him turn pale. Then he said through trembling lips, "I understand." After hanging up, Matthew’s head bowed in defeat. Ivanna shot me a glance, and I raised an eyebrow at her.He lifted his head and said, "I need to step out for a moment. I'll be back soon. Ivanna, please stay with Chlo. I have something to take care of.""Where are you going?" I asked with a hint of disp

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
