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

I had to keep Johnson here. He was my ace in the hole.As for why I didn't insist on keeping everyone else, I wanted to leave myself an escape route. I wanted Matthew to reconsider his actions without pushing him to the point of no return.To my surprise, the next person to speak up was Henry, Matthew's father."Why bring this mess into the office? Can't it be discussed at home? It seems like people have lost their sense of decorum," Henry said in a commanding tone, his nose in the air.I spoke respectfully but firmly, "Dad, is that directed at me? You'll see soon enough if I have 'decorum.' But you should listen and watch closely. Who lacks decorum here?"Matthew immediately grew uncomfortable. Perhaps it was because I had never spoken like this since joining the Murphy family. They were used to my soft-spokenness.I stood up and said, "Matthew, are you accustomed to my mild nature? Do you think I'm a pushover? Do you think you can take advantage of me wherever you please?"My

Melanie’s words displeased Matthew. He glared at me, asking, “What else do you want to say?”"Your sister knows it, and I bet you do too!" I looked firmly at him. "When you engage in such disgraceful activities, it's only a matter of time before it comes to light. You should have prepared yourself for this."I didn’t expect Melanie to still be there when Atlas rescued me.Grace sensed the tension and looked at me. “Chlo, don’t be upset. Did she provoke you again? She’s such a stubborn child.”Henry, who had always spoiled Melanie, yelled at Grace, “Why are you talking about our daughter like that?! You don’t know what happened, so stop making such accusations. Chloe’s a married woman, but why is she fooling around instead of staying home?”Henry smirked, thinking I was the one being unreasonable. I thought Melanie might not have fallen so low if he hadn’t pampered her so much.“Hmph, like father, like daughter. She’s a mess now because of you,” I said, “Before you comment on othe

The voices in the recording were clear and had no background noise, recounting the scene inside the bar. Melanie’s laughter echoed through the office, and her every word caught everyone’s attention.Meanwhile, I focused on Matthew’s expression.Melanie’s words became increasingly unbearable as the recording continued. Although I knew the contents of the recording, hearing it again sent shivers down my spine. I was heartbroken as tears streamed down my face.“You set me up, Chloe! I’m going to kill you!” Melanie was shocked but quickly retaliated.However, Ivanna had prepared for her reaction. She kicked Melanie and sent her flying to the couch. Melanie’s eyes were bloodshot as she grabbed an ashtray from the table and threw it at me.I turned away, and the crystal ashtray crashed onto the floor, shattering into pieces. Everyone else in the room froze and gasped.Matthew stared at me and gulped. He avoided my gaze, not daring to look back at me. Suddenly, he stepped forward and re

I gazed at her calmly and responded. "You should probably ask your brother that.”"What do you mean? Don't try to play games with me," Melanie retorted in frustration.Johnson interjected and told me, "Ms. Chloe, calm down.”I understood he was worried I might lose it and reveal too much information. Still, would I need to sell him out to expose those two idiots?I glanced at Johnson, then stepped forward to lock eyes with Melanie. I questioned her, "Remember when I was alone at the airport on that rainy night? Wasn't he sleeping with you on my bed?"When Ava was in the hospital with a high fever, he didn’t leave us a single cent but was having sex with you at a hotel in Operose. Do you remember those photos you sent me, Melanie?”Melanie looked at me helplessly as her confidence faded.I sarcastically continued, “Perhaps you two have slept together too often that you’re unsure which pictures I’m referring to. Is that it? To secure ATL Empire’s project for Tanum Corporation, I m

Matthew’s scream echoed through the room. Before I could turn, a tall figure blocked my path and kneeled before me with a loud thud. “Chloe, please don’t leave! I was a fool for doing all those things.”Matthew grabbed my hand and looked at me guiltily. “Honey, please forgive me!”He slapped himself and added, “I-I’ll change! I won’t repeat those stupid mistakes. Let’s start over!” Melanie rushed over and pulled his arm, saying, “Matt, what are you saying? You promised you’d divorce her once we secure ATL Empire’s project. You told me you never loved her, right? You only married her for our family’s future. Since she knows everything, there’s nothing to fear.”I glared at Melanie and asked Matthew, “Is that what you said?”“Don’t listen to her nonsense! I won’t leave you. We still have Ava,” Matthew desperately pleaded, “You and Ava are my family. Let’s start over!”"Matt, what are you afraid of?" Melanie asked while looking at him. "Can you honestly say you don't want me anymor
Beyond the Divorce Chapter 90 Retreat Equals Defeat
Meanwhile, Lauren, who had remained silent since the scandal broke out, began her counterattack. First, she exposed the fake financial verification certificate Matthew made. Then, she revealed Melanie’s secrets and exposed her questionable actions and my messy private life.Matthew desperately tried to cover up the truth. With only two days remaining before the contract signing with ATL Empire, he had no intention of fulfilling my demands.On Monday, he received an email from ATL Empire postponing the contract signing. He was shocked and anxious when he realized the lucrative deal was slipping away. He was absent-minded when he visited me at the hospital.I told him to arrange my discharge because I wanted to go home. I didn’t want Ava to spend all day with the Murphys, either. I couldn’t forget Melanie telling me that the Murphys only cared about sons compared to daughters. I would only feel at ease with Ava beside me.Before Matthew completed my discharge paperwork, Johnson arriv
Beyond the Divorce Chapter 91 All That Glitters Is Not Gold
When Grace dropped Ava off, she also brought a heap of groceries. There was wine, fresh seafood, and many other things. She had put a lot of thought into the gesture, but I thought little it. After all, it was my money being spent, so I was not feeling particularly grateful. Even now, eighty percent of Tanum Corporation's customers were the ones I had pulled in the early days. It wasn't an exaggeration. I suspected that there was going to be a celebration here tonight.As soon as Ava returned, she rushed into the room and chattered away. She told me how much she missed her grandma. I knew she was trying to cheer me up.My mother-in-law was busy outside, and Henry had been here since the afternoon. I haven't had a good impression of my father-in-law since that day.Today, Matthew got off work early, but Melanie was nowhere to be seen.At the dinner table, Matthew smiled and said our anniversary banquet would be on Friday at the Feusaka Hotel. However, I kept silent and allowed t

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,

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
Beyond the Divorce Chapter 1553 Put a Gun to My Head
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
