Beyond the Divorce

Chapter 585



Ivanna said, "Mr. Atlas is right! I just remembered. I can offer you opportunities too. While our PR department and cases might differ from ATL Empire's, we lean more toward sudden social anomalies." I nodded. "Ivanna's right." "Our PR scope might be broader. Having more mentors is not a bad thing, right? Everyone has different strengths. Mr. Atlas is more business-oriented, and we lean more toward societal issues. Haha... If you learn well, you'll be a top-notch PR professional." Lauren smiled. "I don't care about being top-notch. I just want to work hard and live a meaningful life." I discreetly glanced at Oliver. Lauren's words hit him square in the face. After all these years, she had been living too modestly and unfairly.

I did harbor sresentment toward Oliver for this. It was tfor Lauren to speak her mind, and Oliver needed to recognize her value.

We chatted happily. Later, Atlas, Ryan, and Oliver went to the living room for drinks. The three of us women continued talking endlessly.

When Molly prepared a late-night snack, Oliver returned to Lauren. He seemed to have had a lot to drink, his eyes fixed on Lauren like a child reluctant to part.

Lauren looked at him and said, "I'll take Oliver back. We'll chat later." She looked at Oliver with a sweet smile and whispered, "Lettake you home.

Oliver's eyes lit up, and he nodded eagerly, his voice gentle. "Sure." We stood there watching Lauren walk down the hall to put on her shoes. Oliver quickly stood up and bid my parents farewell, and they left together.

"Hey, do you think they still have a chance?" Ivanna asked. She looked like she wanted to gossip.

I pondered for a moment and shook my head uncertainly. Yet, an indescribable heaviness weighed on my heart.

After dinner, Atlas and Ryan also headed home. I escorted the two little ones back to their rooms.

Once I was sure they were asleep, I went back downstairs. Lauren had yet to return. Ivanna was becoming increasingly impatient.

"Oh no, this is bad. They've ruined everything. Lettell you, Oliver is sly. He swept Lauren off her feet again." I glanced at her disdainfully. "Do you have so little faith in Lauren?" Although I said that, I felt uneasy. She had been gone for quite a while. Could it be that Ivanna was right? Helpless, I instructed the older folks to go to bed and not wait for Lauren. After all, Grace wasn't suited for staying up.

Her health hadn't been great lately. She had lost weight, and I planned to take her for a checkup in the next few days.

They obediently went to their rooms. Lauren finally pressed the doorbell, and I breathed a sigh of relief.

When Lauren entered, Ivanna rushed over. "You're finally back! Why did it take so long? Be honest. What did you talk about? I thought you went hwith him." Ivanna continued to ramble behind Lauren, incessantly nagging.

Lauren glanced at Ivanna, her tone merciless. "Did I scare you last time, and now you're paranoid?" I watched her expression and then е looked at vanna, who was being put in her place. Unable to contain myself, I laughed. "The point is, you were gone for too long." S Lauren looked atin surprise, angrily exclaiming, "Don't tellyou were thinking the sthing?" I admitted, "Not as certain as she is, but I started thinking that way!" She shook her head helplessly. "You guys are the worst!" "What do you mean?! It's just that I was worried you'd get hurt." Ivanna coldly snorted.

"No matter how indifferent I may seem, I wouldn't return to the spath. Do you think that road is easy? I did go through a lot," she said, sitting on the sofa, looking weary. Not wanting her to feel sad as soon as she returned, I said, "Enough! Do you want to go home?" She suddenly tooked atand i.ne et exclaimed, "Oh my gosh! I forgot there's a hto go back to! Yes, let's go back. I can't wait! We're family now. Stay at my place tonight and keepcompany. I've been lonely for too long." After saying that, she jumped off the sofa, her face filled with joy.

Watching her expression, Ivanna and I exchanged glances and smiled in unison.
