Beyond the Divorce Chapter 77 A Shameless Request
I lay in bed and eventually fell asleep. My nightmare consisted of Matthew and Melanie tormenting Ava and me. I woke up crying but could not release my suppressed anger and frustration.The chirps of birds and the morning sun gradually calmed my racing heart. When I got dressed and went downstairs, I realized I hadn’t appreciated this place’s breathtaking beauty. I knew I shouldn’t miss such a magnificent view.It was already dawn when Atlas found me. He observed my face with concern and asked, “Did you sleep well?”I smiled. "I slept wonderfully! Thank you.""Here we go again with the unnecessary thanks," he said, taking my hand. "Are you hungry? Let's have breakfast."Breakfast at this place was sumptuous, and I enjoyed it. I needed all the energy I could get to face what lay ahead. On our way back, Atlas reminded me, "Take care of yourself and don’t be too stubborn.”I was unsure what he meant by "stubborn," but I did not inquire further. It was my first time being out overnig
Beyond the Divorce Chapter 78 A Voice Recording
Matthew sent his family away after achieving his objectives. However, I didn’t bother to see them off, thinking celebrating our wedding anniversary was great for my plan. Since Matthew wanted it to be lively, I would give that to him.After all, I had nothing to lose because he had tarnished my reputation.Matthew left for work in high spirits after coaxing me. Immediately after, I called Johnson and asked about the progress.He said, “Chlo, I did my best, but he won’t reveal his intentions. I couldn’t do anything about that either. I recorded the conversation you wanted and will send it to you soon.“Also, he knows about your…meet up with Mr. Atlas from ATL Empire. Matthew said…Well, you should listen to the recording yourself.Johnson hung up and sent me the voice recording. Johnson’s voice sounded first, “Mr. Matthew, the representatives of ATL Empire and another company are meeting for dinner tonight. I have a bad feeling about it.”"Find out the purpose of the dinner.”“Wil
Beyond the Divorce Chapter 79 Meeting Melanie Alone
I answered the call and heard Melanie’s usual arrogant tone, “I have something to tell you. Let’s meet.”"Why didn't you tell me that when you were at my place just now?" I asked.“It concerns us, not something suitable to say in front of the others. Come to Midnight Bar now!” She hung up without waiting for my response.While holding my phone, I wondered what Melanie was up to. Still, I wanted to know what she had to say, so I rolled out of bed and checked the time. It was almost noon, so the bar wouldn’t be open at this hour.After some thought, I decided to play it safe and changed into jeans, a T-shirt, and a pair of casual flats. I tried calling Ivanna as I drove in case something went wrong. Unfortunately, she was out of town.I hesitated while holding my phone and finally called Atlas. Immediately after, I decided against it since Melanie knew I had met with him before. I knew it was best not to complicate things and hung up the call as I arrived at the bar.I had never be
Beyond the Divorce Chapter 80 I’ll Let You in on a Secret
Melanie grinned as she spoke, and I knew her following words wouldn’t be pleasant. Still, I remained unfazed, saying, “I don’t think coming here makes a difference. Just say what you must, and don’t beat around the bush. Your family isn’t here.”"Haha! You always act all high and mighty. Matt can't stand you acting like a princess. You're boring and awkward, even when you're trying to act cute!" Melanie smirked."Melanie, do you even know what shame is?" I was furious. "I've never seen anyone as shameless as you.""Chloe, why do you always act superior to everyone? You used to be so patient and enduring. How did you feel when you found the condoms in Matt’s pocket? He said you two never used those."Her words made me nauseous. I never expected Matthew to share our sex life with her. It was disgusting.Melanie swirled her wine, noticing my glare. She continued to grin, saying, "Are you angry? Let me tell you something. I put them there without his knowledge.”She laughed as if she
Beyond the Divorce Chapter 81 To Get What's Coming
She was simply intolerable and seemed a lot like the devil. It left me deeply unsettled."Secrets? Why would someone as shameless as you still have secrets?”"Chloe, I know you're a smart woman. I’ve sent you many lovely photos, but you’ve ignored them. Why are you still pretending to be clueless in front of my brother? Are you afraid of leaving him?" She sipped her drink and grinned impishly.I was on the verge of breaking. This devil was hard to control."Come on, have a drink to calm your nerves!" She urged me with a smirk, seeing that I was still guarded. "Are you afraid of me? It's just a bottle of wine. I'm drinking it myself, so what's there to be scared of?"She looked at me mockingly when I remained unresponsive. "Well, suit yourself!"Then she leaned in closer and said, "Did you know? Matt and I had our first time right here."My brain buzzed. I had often wondered how they got involved, but Melanie's answer was too much to accept.While my body shook violently, my ear
Beyond the Divorce Chapter 82 Godsent
I struggled to get up, but the men held me down. I fought them desperately, but the more I struggled, the weaker I felt. Giant, grimy hands reached out and ripped my t-shirt.My body trembled, and I cried in despair, "Get away... Help me..."Although I screamed, I was too drained to resist. The men were like savage wolves, and they ignored my pleas.One large man had already undone my jeans, and another was pulling them down.Suddenly, the door burst open with a deafening crash. I knew someone had arrived. Desperately, I cried, “Help me…”There was another loud noise, as if the entire room were shaking. "Let go of me... Help!" I screamed as I clawed at the hands holding me.Then, I heard a voice."Chloe, don't be scared. It's me!" Strong arms enveloped me, offering solace. I sobbed, and the familiar voice whispered, "Don't be afraid. I’m here!"I clung to him, feverishly whispering, "Hold me. Please don’t leave..."Atlas quickly took off his jacket and wrapped it around me.
Beyond the Divorce Chapter 83 Malicious Intent
I was finally done with my IV drip. However, before I could ask Atlas to head back, Ivanna burst into the room. "Chlo, what's going on..."Her words trailed off as she noticed Atlas in the room. She fixed her gaze intensely on him with a strange look.I could tell what she was thinking, so I quickly changed the topic. "Why’d you come back so quickly?"Atlas replied instead, “When you were unconscious, she called to check on you out of concern. I told her you were indeed in trouble.”"So, you're the one who answered the call!" Ivanna looked at him with curiosity. "Can you tell me who you are?"I blushed as I briefly introduced Atlas to Ivanna. They exchanged polite handshakes, and Ivanna asked, "Is that his jacket?"I nodded silently.Then I turned to Atlas and told him Ivanna would take me back. Atlas gave me some instructions before we left the hospital room.Ivanna started questioning me about the whole incident. After I told the story, Ivanna was furious and asked why I ha
Beyond the Divorce Chapter 84 A Slut Playing the Victim
Matthew had a hunch that something was about to go down. He looked at me coldly and asked, "Honey, what are you doing?"I looked at Matthew and said, "What do you mean? You'll find out once Melanie arrives. It's not me causing trouble. It's her."Matthew sensed my determination and turned to Ivanna. "What's going on here?"Ivanna stood behind me with her arms crossed. She replied, "You're asking me? Maybe you should ask your dear sister when she gets here."The atmosphere in the office became extremely awkward. It was clear that I was an unwelcome guest.Just then, Melanie strolled into the room. When she noticed the crowd in the office, she froze and glared at me. "Chloe, what are you up to? What's all this about?"I wished I could tear Melanie apart when she pretended nothing had happened. I locked eyes with her and said, "You've done something extraordinary, and I'm here to note your achievements. Are you scared now?"“Scared? Why would I be?" Melanie rolled her eyes.She qu

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...""
Beyond the Divorce Chapter 1554 Heart in My Throat
"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
