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

To my surprise, I saw that tall figure standing out in the crowd. My heart raced, yet I wanted to avoid him. I felt too embarrassed to face him in such a setting.Matthew spotted Atlas as he entered. He rushed to greet him since today's event was to impress Atlas. I had not seen Nick, but I knew Matthew was anticipating Atlas’s attendance more.They exchanged a handshake. Despite Matthew's courteous words, Atlas maintained his composure. One of Atlas's attendants handed me a gift, but he didn’t pretend to offer congratulatory remarks.Honestly, it made me quite comfortable.Everything was transparent with Atlas. I imagined it would be awkward to put on an act with him. Matthew and Atlas exchanged polite pleasantries while I stood on the sidelines. Someone gently linked their arm with mine. A tender voice inquired, "Chlo, who is this gentleman?"I was taken aback, turning to find Melanie's smiling face. I had never seen such a shameless smile before.Seeing me unresponsive, Matt

He pressed me against the closing door with a resounding thud. A fresh scent filled my nose.I looked up in alarm, and his perfect face was inches from mine. "Let me see where you're hurt.""What do you think you're doing? You're putting me in an awkward position!" "Where are you hurt?" He insisted, completely disregarding what I had just said.I reluctantly brushed the hair from my forehead, revealing the wound. He frowned, and then his eyes turned ominously cold. I had never seen him like this before.I quickly let my hair fall back to cover the wound and feebly said, "It's nothing!"His tone turned icy as he said, "Are you out of your mind? You’re saying a wound this size is nothing? Are you a masochist?"I shot him an incredulous glare but felt an unfathomable sorrow in me.Atlas narrowed his eyes, his voice softening slightly. "Why didn't you call me?"I turned my face slightly away, a touch petulant. "I'm a married woman. What would it mean if I kept calling you? I didn

I discreetly opened the door, slipping out of that private room and back into the main hall.Then I carried on as if nothing had happened, warmly greeting the guests and old clients. The long-time clients had become like family to us, supporting the entire Murphy family over the years.Everyone in the Murphy family was beaming with pride, especially Matthew. He proudly introduced our daughter to the guests, and I shook my head in disbelief.He thought that dressing Ava up like a little lady made her one. I was sure many people were watching the recent social media buzz. However, I hadn't caught a glimpse of Melanie.As Ava sat on her grandmother's lap, people were admiring her. My daughter's angelic beauty captivated everyone. Every time I saw her, my heart melted. If only she could remain this happy forever.Twenty minutes later, my phone rang, and I saw it was Atlas calling. I suddenly felt a mixture of nerves and apprehension. What was this man up to? Why insist on meeting me i

I heard screams and curses from the room across the hall. Flashes from cameras flickered relentlessly. People were still squeezing in.I panicked and lifted my dress as I was swept into the room with the crowd. It was chaotic inside. Two naked bodies curled up, the woman's head buried behind the man, screaming nonstop.The man shielded the naked woman while pointing at the people taking pictures. "All of you get out!"A defiant Lauren stepped on the large blanket that should have been on the bed. Two others were at her side, standing on a pile of clothes.I stood there, dumbfounded, staring at the scene before me. The man was none other than Matthew, who was celebrating our anniversary with me. He was looking great in a sharp suit just moments ago. Now, he was exposed to everyone.The woman was none other than my sister-in-law, Melanie. She was dressed elegantly today, but she was utterly repulsive now.Lauren stood smugly with her arms crossed, directing the chaos. "Keep shootin

My reaction caught Atlas off guard while Ivanna ran over to pick up my crying daughter. She glanced at Atlas and then pulled me away.I was still trembling and vomiting when we reached Ivanna’s place. Since I had nothing to eat before, I could only vomit bile, leaving a bitter taste in my mouth.Ava stayed beside me with widened eyes, concerned as she pleaded, “Mommy, go find Daddy!”I held and reassured her, “Be a good girl, okay? Mommy will always be by your side.”I couldn’t bear to tell her she might not have a father anymore. Once I calmed down, I called Adrian and asked him a few questions. Then, I asked Ivanna to help me with some tasks. She was the only one I could trust at that moment.She carried my bag the whole time. When I checked it, I noticed she had taken all my necessities. Afterward, I told her I wanted to go home, which startled her. “Why would you want to do that?”“I meant my home here,” I clarified.When we left Ivanna’s apartment, I was surprised to see At

Matthew had carefully prepared everything in the house, but it was a love nest. However, they never expected me to claim it one day.This place marked the beginning of my new life. I smiled bitterly and considered it a gift from Matthew, not to celebrate our anniversary but as a witness to our impending divorce.Ava was thrilled when I told her this was our new home. She ran around joyfully while I was grateful for children being unaware of the pain that often burdened adults’ hearts.As Ava drifted off to sleep that night, Matthew came over. Although he looked neat, his face was bruised from a beating. Matthew ignored Ivanna and approached me, eventually dropping to his knees. That was the second time he had resorted to begging.I looked at him with disdain and exhaustion, saying, “If you intend to repeat your plea, stop. You can leave now.”“Honey, please don’t say that. Where can I go? I want to be where you are—you’re my home,” Matthew pleaded like a misbehaved child. However,

Everything happened just as I had anticipated. Matthew’s scandal dominated the headlines of every major news outlet. I couldn’t help but admire the clever headlines the publishers created.Sure enough, I couldn’t escape this disaster either. After all, I was also the main character on our wedding anniversary. Although I was the victim, the humiliation was unbearable.The online posts were full of images and truths. One showed us gracefully welcoming our guests in our finest attire, while the other exposed our vulnerabilities. The news had tarnished the Murphys’ reputation.Fortunately, I had moved to Amethyst Apartments. I knew the reporters were searching for me and Matthew.Matthew wanted to say something, but a phone call from his father interrupted him, asking him to return home.

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.

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

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

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!
