Beyond the Divorce

From a different perspective, this was a chance for Oliver to mend things, and Lauren couldn't do anything about it, because she knew just how influential and powerful Jared and Atlas were. It had to mean something that they were meddling in her business. And Oliver himself was the God of Wealth in Foswood. Naturally, his assistants would be great people as well. If Atlas provided him with an opportunity like this, he wouldn't let it go to waste.

He quickly stepped forward. "I love her. I also know that Lauren has endured a lot for me over the years. She's faced a lot of criticism and hardship. I know all this, and it's a pain engraved in my heart."

When Lauren saw Oliver immediately declare his stance, she glanced at me, her face burning red.

"My emotions were conflicted at that time. When I was faced with that life and death separation, I wanted her to leave peacefully, and I overlooked Lauren's feelings for me. But when Lauren left me, my whole world collapsed. It was like I had lost direction, like I lost my soul. "I can't live without Lauren. We've been apart for over half a year, and my life and work has been chaos. Please come back to me, Lauren."

Oliver took Lauren's hands. She struggled a little, but Oliver held on tightly, refusing to let go.

His eyes were filled with deep affection as he stared at Lauren's slightly lowered face, softly saying, "Marry me, and we'll start a new life. Nothing will come between us this time. If you entrust your life to me, I'll make sure this is a bet you'll never lose." Atlas looked at Oliver. "Well said."

Oliver gulped when he heard Atlas. Lauren was dumbfounded at the assistance from Jared and Atlas.

She wanted to react, but she didn't have the courage to embarrass herself in front of Atlas and Jared.

Oliver's hands that were holding Lauren's trembled visibly. He held her small hands tightly in his large ones and looked at her, softly saying, "Lauren, marry me."

He went down on one knee right in front of us. He took out a ring from his pocket, but hesitated to put it on Lauren's finger, waiting for her to nod.

We were all dumbfounded, and Lauren was too. It was a difficult choice for her to make.

She glanced at me, and I said, "Marry him. I hope you two will be happy together."

Ivanna chimed in. "Stop being silly, Lauren. Are you really that foolish?"

Lauren's face was red. She lowered her head and said to Oliver, "Get up. Stop kneeling. I... I really can't stand you. Can you give me some time?"

"Do you really need more time? I'm hungry. Hurry up, Oliver. Are you afraid of what she's going to do? Don't you know she loves you?" Ivanna hurriedly added fuel to the fire.

"We've said it before. If she didn't

love you, could she have endured all those years of criticism and

hardship for you? She's not craznet

Ivanna's words were straightforward but reasonable. "Stop making us worry about you!"

Then Ivanna looked at Oliver, speaking solemnly. "I'm telling you, Oliver. Chloe, Atlas, Jared, and will all be watching. If you ever dare upset Lauren even little bit you'll face our wrath!" NôvelDrama.Org is the owner.

"Ivanna." Jared stopped her from going overboard.

To be honest, only Ivanna could say these things. After all, Ivanna was the youngest among us, and someone needed to speak up for Lauren.

Ivanna glanced at Jared. She completely ignored his warning and continued, "I don't care if you're some bank president or whatever. I only care about my best friend, my sister from another mother.

"If you want to be my brother-in-law, take good care of her. Otherwise, it won't work, even if you beg her to come back to you. Do you understand?" Ivanna was acting like a worried little sister.

Oliver, inspired by Ivanna, hurriedly

slipped the ring onto Lauren's finger.

When Oliver put the ring on her, he seemed to shine brightly. He kissed Lauren's hand affectionately and stood up, hugging her tight
