Beyond the Divorce Chapter 700 One in A Million
The atmosphere at the party was lively. Glasses were clinking and people were mingling in the splendid hall.When Ivanna and I entered, it was already pretty late, and many guests had arrived.I recognized some faces at the gala, but I had to admit that I was not acquainted with most of the people here.As we walked into the venue, I overheard people whispering, "What beautiful women.""Who are those two? I don't think I've seen them before.""They’re gorgeous. They might be from a prestigious family, and they might have just returned to the country recently."I realized the whispers were talking about us. Of course they hadn't seen us before since I had never attended events like this. But I wasn't interested in their discussions and had no intention of drawing attention to myself. I simply smiled and ignored them.I glanced around and looked for Trinity. It seemed she hadn't arrived.I asked Ivanna, "Will Jared be here today?"Ivanna shook her head. "He usually avoids things

I turned to the source of the voice, only to find that the person greeting me was Melvern.I greeted him with a slight smile and said, "Hello."At this moment, he looked at me endearingly, as if we were old friends. "Before coming here, I was wondering if I’d see you. It seems my wish has come true."His charming gaze remained fixed on my face as he spoke.While I didn't mind Melvern's presence, I disliked how he looked at me intensely. His gaze gave me goosebumps.Ivanna glanced at the person who approached me and gave me a questioning look.However, I could not introduce him to Ivanna as I didn't officially know him. Nevertheless, during our brief conversation, I noticed he addressed me as "Ms. Chloe," indicating that he had investigated me.I nodded slightly at Melvern and said, "It’s nothing strange, it's just a social gathering and anyone can be here.”Upon sensing my tone, Ivanna understood this person was not someone I favored.To steer the conversation away, Ivanna pol

Liora's voice echoed behind me, laughter accompanying her words, "Hi. You're too kind. It's just something that had to be done. With all that money invested, what else could I have done?”I silently cursed her shamelessness. She had taken over someone else's property and pretended to be innocent now."Indeed, it's still because of your capability, right? I heard that the couple had done quite a few shady things. Maybe Tanum should be investigated, too. Who knows if they’re doing the same thing?" Someone remarked sharply."Oh, please don't say that! The CEO of Tanum is present, so be careful with your words." Liora played the role of a good person.Her provocations were directed toward me, who had my back turned to her.But some people just didn't know their limits. Upon hearing Liora's words, someone immediately said, "So what? Everyone knows about the Murphy family’s dirty deeds. Tanum’s ex-CEO has been running the company for so many years. I bet the foundation has long been cor

Liora probably hadn't expected me to be so calm. However, the woman named Vicky, who was with her, seemed to recognize me and was a bit surprised.Staring at me with displeasure, she asked, "How can it be you?"I shifted my gaze from Liora to Vicky and asked, "Why can't it be me?"Liora glanced at Vicky and interrupted her, "Do you two know each other?""We met at Arkadia Plaza yesterday," Vicky said. "She couldn't even afford a dress there and dare to wear a knockoff here.""Tsk tsk, Vicky, what nonsense are you saying?" Liora immediately interjected. "You may not know this, but Ms. Chloe is a nouveau riche with strong ties. In the future, Ms. Chloe might be the center of attention at such gatherings. How could she be wearing knockoffs?"Liora's ambiguous words suggested a wealthy benefactor was behind me. Otherwise, I could not attend such events. She implied that I had some secrets or connections that others didn't know.Ivanna couldn't stand Liora's sarcastic tone and was ab

"You arrived a bit late. Ms. Liora and I chatted for quite a while," I casually added, throwing more fuel to the fire.Stella's eyes glanced at Liora. Although she maintained a smile, a shadow clouded her eyes.Moreover, I noticed that Liora seemed off since the arrival of Trinity and Stella. Her attention wasn't on us. Instead, she briefly glanced at Vicky, who had been following her.Soon after, Vicky discreetly left our group.I added, "How is the matter in Muborough handled? Putting Matthew in prison involves many projects, and it's not wise. There are mixed reactions about it—some happy, some not so much."My words were direct, implying that Liora may have done more harm than good by implicating Matthew. Celine was deeply involved in the Muborough projects, and the current situation was undoubtedly distressing her.This incident, after all, was instigated by Liora.Even though I spoke plainly, Liora didn't catch on, showing that her attention was elsewhere.Stella couldn't

Back in the hall, my gaze swept over to where Trinity was. She raised an eyebrow at me, looking cunning, like a sly fox.As I turned, I noticed Liora walking in from outside. I was puzzled—she hadn't gone to the restroom, so where had she been? However, at the moment, she didn't look too well.I took a glass of red wine from a waiter's tray, sipping it slowly while my eyes casually observed Liora. Simultaneously, I scanned the hall filled with elegance and sophistication.Ivanna whispered to me, "I'll go find out."I nodded, and she walked into the crowd.Just then, a voice sounded beside me, "I didn't expect to see you here, Ms. Chloe."Upon hearing this, I sensed an underlying meaning in the tone.Involuntarily, I turned to look, and a seductive woman was walking toward me from behind.I recognized her. She was Madison Ballard. She used to be one of Liora's followers.Madison's father was also involved in real estate but dealt with second-hand houses. Over the past few years

I remained silent and stared at Madison calmly.When she saw that I didn't respond, Madison grew even more arrogant. "Do you really think you've become a socialite just because you’re running a company and have won a few projects?"Her imposing demeanor carried a certain air of authority."Just wearing a branded dress doesn't make you sophisticated. Someone who's both an ex-wife and a mistress should be more cautious. I'd advise people like that to control themselves and stay low-key," Madison said, looking quite pleased with herself. After her remark, I couldn't help glancing at her expensive attire.To my surprise, it was luxurious from head to toe.When I still didn't respond, she shook her head and added, "That might help them not end up like Harmony one day, manipulated, deceived, and ruined.”One of the sycophants beside her chimed in when she saw my continued silence. "Exactly. Some people shouldn't have any grand illusions. In Foswood, there are many legitimate socialites

Liora was visibly shaken, and all eyes turned toward the source of the commanding voice. It was none other than Atlas. He walked into the crowd with his dominating presence. His intense gaze was fixed on me as he approached and pulled me into his embrace.I noticed that Madison turned even paler, and she instinctively took a step back."You’re Madison, aren’t you? It seems that the Ballard family's real estate business is thriving." Atlas's eyes, sharp and piercing, focused on Madison. His words were laden with meaning.Suddenly, there was a commotion in the crowd. An elderly man pushed through, walked up to Atlas and said with a smile, "You're a great man, Mr. Atlas. Don't lower yourself to her level. She... she's just talking nonsense.""You feel like you’re on top of the world, huh, Mr. Gary? How about you check your taxes? I heard that’s under someone else’s control, isn't it?” Atlas's chiseled and stern face turned icy, which caused the atmosphere to plummet."No... Mr. Atlas

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
