Beyond the Divorce

The woman's eyes narrowed and she gave Lauren a hostile glance.

Lauren lifted her eyebrows in defiance.

The woman smiled with disdain and said, "This is a case of birds of a feather. Both of you are skilled at seducing men. You are truly the degenerates of society!" These remarks implied that she must be familiar with us.

The woman shifted her gaze to my face and sarcastically said, "You should learn the lesson from her bad example. Behave yourself!"

I said confidently, "Don't be so snarky in front of me, no matter who you are. You will only embarrass yourself!"

The woman said, "Well, let's wait and see. Don't be too confident."

"You behave in such a weird way, yet I'm not afraid. You should be more sensible and avoid looking for trouble. It's better to keep your mouth shut," I warned her.

"Good luck to you!" She glanced at me threateningly, then turned and walked out of the boutique.

The salesperson in the boutique had already packed our items.

Lauren asked the salesperson, "Do you know this woman?"

The salesperson shook her head and replied, "No, I don't know her. She probably saw you come in and followed you!" The salesperson looked at me while saying this. She had observed it. After we settled the bill, we left the boutique. Lauren frowned and asked me, "Who is she exactly?"

"When you were talking to her, I observed her carefully. She doesn't seem to be the Harmony I know. Harmony is not as cunning as her!" I had to say.

"Moreover, this person seems to be very familiar with both of us!" Lauren said it with certainty.

"But we've never met her. Is there someone like that that you can recall?" I asked.

Lauren confidently shook her head. Although I don't know her either, she resembles Harmony in height, walking style, and eyes.

I gathered my thoughts and said to Lauren, "Whatever! We can't let her affect our mood!"

Lauren smiled. "Right! Let's continue!"

As soon as they left, my phone rang. It was Atlas. I nodded at Lauren before leaving the store and picking up the phone.

"Have you had lunch?" he asked softly.

"Yes, I ate with Lauren! How about you?" I asked sweetly, feeling genuinely delighted to hear him.

"I'm having lunch with Mr. Brown, summing up some things!" His voice was very gentle.

"Oh, you're with him!" I exclaimed.

"Want to join us?" he asked.

"No, you take care of it. I'll stroll around with Lauren then head back to the company."

After hanging up, Lauren teased me, "You two can't be separated even for a moment! Inseparable!"

"He and Mr.Brown are discussing

the case together. Besides, isn't Liora still there?" I had always tried to avoid being too affectionate in front of Lauren. After all, deep down, she was still healing.

At that moment, Johnson's call came in. I released Lauren's arm and answered.

"Ms. Chloe, Mr. Matthew wants to go to the company tomorrow, and I-I wanted to ask for your opinion!" Johnson's tone was a bit hesitant.This belongs © NôvelDra/ma.Org.

I held the phone and gave it some thought. "I don't have any objections. The company is his, and he should think for himself."

"Mr. Matthew asked for my opinion, so... that's why I called you! Those who perjured themselves in court..."

Before hanging up, I couldn't help but ask, "How did you arrange things for him?"
