Beyond the Divorce Chapter 69 Incredible Assistance
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
Beyond the Divorce Chapter 71 Dying in Glory Is Better Than Living in Dishonor
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
Beyond the Divorce Chapter 72 Protecting Her
She yelled at me. "Chloe, you seem pretty comfortable, huh? Acting all high and mighty as the boss. Do you think you’re qualified?"I sat calmly in my chair and looked at her. Johnson followed her inside, attempting to mediate. "Ms. Murphy, why are you here? Can't you resolve it at home? There are so many people here, and it's not the right place. Besides...""Is she afraid of causing a scene? Who does she think she is?" Melanie was on a roll, her words cutting.I could see the employees standing and looking at us through the frosted window. I turned to Johnson and said, "Tell them to go home early."Johnson quickly went to disperse the curious employees. They left the office reluctantly. Typically, they’d vanish even if there were only twenty minutes left in the workday.I relaxed in my seat and watched Melanie. "Please go on with what you just said."Johnson sensed the tension and positioned himself between us, just in case.Melanie looked at me with the arrogance of a bull
Beyond the Divorce Chapter 73 Ganging Up
"Both of you, shut up!" Matthew shouted."So you're protecting her, huh? You cradle your sister and let her call the shots. Honestly, she doesn’t seem like your sister at all. From the looks of it, she's the one sleeping by your side. You do whatever she says! You're like her lapdog!" I couldn’t help but point it out."Come on, Chloe... What are you talking about? Can’t you show a little restraint? Think about the bigger picture?" Matthew's face suddenly changed color, and he shoved me away, causing me to stumble. "Ms. Chloe!" Johnson gasped, offering support as I steadied myself and glared at Matthew.Melanie hid behind her brother and whispered venomously in his ear. "Matt, can't you see she's only after your money? She only cares about herself. Has she ever genuinely worried about you?"She turned to me. "Chloe, remember that Tanum Corporation belongs to the Murphy family. It legally belongs to Matt. It has nothing to do with you. So what if you were the founder? You can't eve
Beyond the Divorce Chapter 74 A True Mystery of a Man
I marveled at the lush greenery, with birds singing and flowers in full bloom."Where is this?" I asked softly."Utopia," he replied, his voice captivating.I turned to the tall man standing next to me. In his presence, I felt safe.My heart raced as a realization hit me. Whenever I was with Atlas, it felt like my soul was being pulled to him. I lost myself, wanting only to follow his lead.I was ashamed of my lack of self-respect. As someone who had hit rock bottom and been abandoned by everyone, I was about to fall for someone else. However, he was undeniably attractive, which made resisting him difficult. He smiled warmly at me, and I stared at him like a deer caught in headlights. Atlas gently brushed a strand of hair from my face. "You've lost weight in just a few days, haven’t you? You look like a damsel in distress!"His words made me smile awkwardly and pull away. "Well, I’m still beautiful, aren’t I?”I cringed at my own words. Did I just call myself beautiful? As
Beyond the Divorce Chapter 75 Revenge
He grabbed my wrist just as I turned. I avoided his eyes, feeling awkward and powerless. We stood there for what seemed like an eternity. He gently pulled me back into his embrace, resting my head on his chest."You need to leave him as soon as possible," Atlas urged, and it softened my resolve."But I need to expose his true colors. Only then can I justify the time I've wasted on him. I won't allow them to continue humiliating me. I want them to pay for their actions and reclaim everything that belongs to me and my daughter.""I said I'd help you," he reassured me.Suddenly, I embraced Atlas and felt an unfamiliar sense of safety."I must cleanse this shame alone. Do you understand?" I looked at him with tears in my eyes. "This is the only way I can do right by myself and my parents, who have supported me.""Come with me." Atlas released me and took my hand. He led me through the breathtaking resort grounds to a small building. I barely paid attention to the stunning beauty arou
Beyond the Divorce Chapter 76 Too Meticulously Planned
After some hesitation, I asked, “Why are you treating me so well?”Atlas smiled at me before ruffling my hair. At that moment, my world felt bright again. He was skilled at flirting, and I felt he had enchanted me."Because I like you. Is that okay?" Atlas asked.My face lit up when he said that. Although I was married, his charisma affected me. I couldn’t believe it when he said he liked me. Such sweet nothings might work on young and innocent girls, but my daughter was almost old enough to understand what love was.I knew my marriage was ending, and I would soon become divorced. However, the outstanding man before me told me he liked me. Even I could sense the irony of the situation.Atlas noticed my silence and pulled me into his arms. "Why do you always torture yourself by overthinking everything? There can be countless reasons to like someone."I rolled my eyes, freed myself from his grasp, and enjoyed the delicious meal. It would be a waste not to savor it. He watched me re
