Beyond the Divorce Chapter 769 Alcohol is King
Atlas noticed my anxious demeanor and comforted me with a pat on the back. “You can sleep first. I’ll see who it is.”He got up, put on his slippers, and approached the door. I couldn’t help but wonder who could be visiting so late at night. After all, we hadn’t lived here for quite some time. While contemplating, I got out of bed and straightened my sleepwear before leaving the bedroom.When I reached the landing, I peeked downstairs and saw Atlas opening the door. A figure then entered with a bottle of alcohol. It was Oliver. His lean silhouette appeared even more frail in the dim light. He looked desolated.Oliver forced a bitter smile when he saw Atlas, asking, “You’re still awake?”Atlas walked into the living room and said indifferently, “How can I sleep if you ring the bell like that? Why are you here?”I felt a pang of pity for Oliver. The once prominent figure had fallen so far. His former grace and eloquence were non-existent. I suspected he had lost his nightly destinat
Beyond the Divorce Chapter 770 A Horrifying Nightmare
Oliver's tone conveyed impatience. "I admit I was wrong, but Lauren won't give me a chance."I took a step forward, eager to confront him about where he went wrong. However, I found myself frozen. I suddenly realized I had lost my composure. I had no right to say certain things, especially since Oliver came to talk to Atlas.Atlas spoke tactfully, "I don't know how you hurt Lauren, but some words and actions are irreversible.”I had confided in Atlas about their issues before, and he understood the complexities between Oliver and Lauren. Irreversible was probably Atlas's advice to Oliver. I turned around to go back, realizing conversations between men might be more straightforward, and I couldn't interject. Besides, I believed Atlas would handle the talk well.I lay on the bed and pondered Lauren's grievances. I couldn't help but sigh and shake my head. I had to admire Oliver's deceased wife for being a formidable woman. She left a lasting impact, even in death.Perhaps Lauren w
Beyond the Divorce Chapter 771 The Special Day
For some reason, the lingering smell of blood in my memory was too intense, making the breakfast in front of me tasteless.After a few bites, I pushed away the breakfast. Atlas asked, "Why are you eating so little? Don't you like it?"I shook my head, looking at him. "It's not that I don't like it. I just can't eat."Instinctively, I reached for my temple and rubbed it.Atlas nervously grabbed my wrist. "What's wrong? Another headache?""Yeah, maybe I had a nightmare. I didn't sleep well. It'll pass in a bit. Don't worry!" I quickly perked up, fearing he would make a big deal out of it.Atlas quickly finished his meal and placed the used dishes in the sink.Just as he finished cleaning up, the doorbell rang again. I was about to answer it when he grabbed my arm. "I'll go!"Atlas strode toward the front door. I turned curiously, thinking about how noisy today had been. It seemed like the doorbell hadn't stopped ringing since Oliver came and rang it at midnight.I saw Atlas open
Beyond the Divorce Chapter 772 Anxious
Atlas disdainfully remarked, "Let him sleep here. I don't think he'll be waking up anytime soon."I chuckled lightly. Who would have thought that the high and mighty tycoon of Foswood would end up passed out in my home?Oh well! We didn't have time to babysit him.Upon exiting the front door, I noticed the driver and a fleet of cars had been waiting. As our car pulled out first, I realized that Lauren and Ivanna's cars were also part of the convoy.I asked Atlas, "Why are they here too? Did you invite them?"Atlas's lips curled up as he embraced me, whispering, "They came on their own accord. I didn't arrange anything."My heart warmed instantly. Having such supportive friends was heartening. Our convoy headed towards the county clerk's office, and I couldn't help but feel touched and a bit embarrassed. Did we need such a grand procession just for a marriage certificate?Upon arriving, I asked Lauren and Ivanna, "Why did you all come?"Ivanna cheerfully replied, "What's the mat
Beyond the Divorce Chapter 773 Too Comfortable
I asked in bewilderment, "Who?"With a serious expression, Carol repeated, "Melvern is requesting a meeting."Hearing her repeat Melvern's name, I was genuinely surprised. I had a premonition that he would appear before me sooner or later.While Liora was joyfully bustling about during this period, he remained unusually quiet, which didn't make much sense."Let him in," I calmly said.Carol walked out and soon brought Melvern in.He looked dashing in a well-fitted suit. His eyes, however, were something I couldn't quite appreciate, almost repulsive.As he entered, I conducted myself professionally, stepping away from the desk and gesturing for him to sit.Seated at my desk, I asked, "Mr. Melvern, what brings you here?"I cut to the chase, as I had no intention of being polite with him. I did not know much about him, but based on his investment in Liora and his methods of seizing other companies, I could not form a favorable opinion of him. Moreover, the funds he invested w
Beyond the Divorce Chapter 774 A Smile That Is Full of Secrets
However, his attitude left me unsure of how to proceed. I had no choice but to reach for the cup and sip from it.As a second-best option, I waited for him to continue.Sure enough, he said, "Ms. Chloe, you don't have to act so distantly. Since I've come to you for a collaboration, I have enough confidence to bring out a project for us to work on."His words did shock me a bit. He sounded a bit arrogant and self-assured.I smiled, set down the cup, and felt relief. "Well then, Mr. Melvern, why don't you share the details of the collaboration you have in mind.""I wanted to talk to you about the possibility of my independent development on acquired projects or land. Could I have your company handle the design and construction?"He sounded very confident. "Since I've just returned to Foswood, I can say I'm in a tough spot. Once I secure a project, I don't have the conditions for design and construction."Melvern's words flowed seamlessly, and he seemed genuinely sincere. "My retur
Beyond the Divorce Chapter 775 Atticus's Land
I nodded. "I have no intention of making things difficult for you, Mr. Melvern. However, this is Tanum Corporation's current situation. Since you've candidly assessed the situation, you must also know that this is the prerequisite for cooperation with Tanum Corporation.""I do." Melvern stared at my face, his emotions unclear. "Currently, there's a pressing project. I would like Tanum Corporation to design a plan for it, and I believe you will be interested.""Oh?" I intentionally expressed interest and asked, "Where is the project?"Melvern's smile was intriguing. He paused briefly, then said, "In Rivendell."I felt a sudden chill. Without thinking, I asked, "Rivendell?"Melvern smiled triumphantly. "Yes, Rivendell! Have you heard of it, Ms. Chloe?"I suddenly felt that I had overreacted."Yes," I responded to salvage my composure. "I heard rumors about a new development project in Rivendell but didn't pay much attention. After all, our current projects are in the consolidation
Beyond the Divorce Chapter 776 Tricked
Rivendell was Atticus' top priority. He had given up every other opportunity, waiting patiently for this chance. The last time I saw him, he seemed confident, but Melvern's recent attitude indicated that he was certain of success.The more I thought about it, the more I realized this situation wasn't as simple as it seemed.Glancing at the time, I pressed the intercom button to summon Carol. After giving her a few instructions, I told her to get Lauren, who was starting work today. I would take her out with me as cover. If Melvern noticed my absence, it would not raise suspicion.It was better to be safe than sorry.Lauren soon appeared in my office. I looked toward her. "Come with me." I grabbed my bag and hooked her arm before heading out of the room.As Lauren and I took the elevator down, she asked, "Where are we going?""I want to see Atticus," I said.The elevator went straight down to the underground garage. I dialed Atticus' number, but once again, there was no answer. I
