Semua Bab Beyond the Divorce: Bab 1061 - Bab 1070

Before the end of the afternoon, Lauren came to my office. She had been working and studying at ATL Empire, so she spent most of her time there.As she walked in, she asked, "I didn't see Atlas at ATL Empire today. How are we handling that news?""It's in progress. If you're free tonight, I'll take you to watch an interesting show," I said with a satisfied smile. I figured someone might be keeping an eye on me."What kind of show?" Lauren asked eagerly."You'll find out when the time comes," I said mysteriously. I had checked with Cane. Those pinhole cameras could only capture images, not sound. That was why I felt so free to say whatever I wanted.In the afternoon, I saw Adelaide had returned to the office, looking calm. It seemed she had already spread the news.Without asking about it, Lauren inquired about the situation in Gerby. Mentioning this matter immediately soured my mood.Shaking my head with a sigh, I said, "Beatrice is in deep trouble.""Why do you say that?" Laur

Rose saw we were all back and quickly instructed Nigel to prepare dinner.Having an elderly person at home really made a difference. My mom had been away for so many days while Rose had been taking care of the kids at the villa.There were quite a few servants in the villa, and they could take good care of Ava. But I always feel more at ease with Rose around."Thanks for holding the fort, Grandma Rose. Otherwise, I don't know how to deal with this little troublemaker." I looped my arm around Rose's, looking at Ava, who was still whispering secrets to Lauren.It seemed like Lauren needed to have her own child. While I was away these few days, I didn't know if she had made progress with Oliver.Rose patted my hand. "Being busy is a good thing. Recently, I've delegated many things to Arnold, and it's been very relaxing. The air in this yard is refreshing, and I feel light and healthy."Lauren walked in. She looked at Rose and said, "Madam, you don't look like an 80-year-old. To stil

Seizing the moment, I called my mom.My mom promptly answered. "You’re back early today."I chuckled and replied, "Mom! How did you know I came back early?""How? It's been a few days since you called. I thought you were busy, so I didn't want to bother you." My mom knew me well."I was on a business trip for three days. I’ve been pretty busy, so I didn't have time to call you. How are things over there? Does it seem like we can sell the house soon? If we can’t, you should come back. We can entrust it to the Phillips family.""We had a few potential buyers, but nothing was finalized. Looks like we won’t be able to sell the house as quickly as we thought. Will it be too much trouble for the Phillips family? They're already helping us look at houses.""In that case, find a neighbor you can trust, leave the keys with them, and let them take care of it. Or you could hire a reputable real estate agent and let them handle everything," I suggested, knowing that if it were me, I would de

It was my first time entering the warehouse district from the outside. I used to access it through the secret passage from my home.Lauren was utterly astonished as she also experienced it for the first time. I explained that this place was an absolute secret and she couldn’t tell anyone about it. There was no need for me to say any more. Lauren understood.Atlas asked me to check on Anya while he went to the main building.I got someone to fetch Anya for me. It had been quite a while since I last saw her.She arrived quickly. She probably knew it was me. Her face lit up with joy as she ran over to me with a big smile on her lovely face, making her even more charming.Lauren stared at her and asked, "Where did you find such a pretty little girl?"I kept it brief.Anya looked completely different. Her complexion was brighter. She spoke to me in still awkward English. "You’re here, Madam!""Oh, you can speak English now?" I looked at her in delight, pulling her over and introdu

Melanie had a private room, and two police officers guarded the door. They knew who I was since I had handed her over to them last night. After a brief exchange, one of them accompanied us inside.Melanie still hadn't woken up. She looked solemn.The bandage on her head made her look even paler. If it weren’t for the beeping of the machines by her bed, you wouldn’t even have realized she was alive. Lauren said disdainfully, "I never thought she'd end up like this. She brought it on herself. I didn't know until now. What do you think her reaction will be when she wakes up and discovers the truth? When she realizes she was manipulated and silenced? Her life is a complete mess. Do you think she'll regret it?"As I looked at the motionless Melanie, I thought about Lauren's question and didn't know what to say.Sighing, I said, "It's really sad. People like her all end up the same way. You need to get to the end to realize how foolish you've been. You're right. She doesn't deserve any
