Chapter 105
Beyond the Divorce
Whoâs the Wife Here? Glaring at us, she snapped, âMatt, what the hell are you doing?â
Matthew quickly let go of me and stared stupidly at Melanie.
His flustered look was hilarious.
He looked like his wife caught him cheating.
âChloe, have you no shame? How dare you try to seduce Matt again?â She stepped inside the door and glared daggers at me.
up with âYou got my dad jailed and swindled all the money.
Isnât that enough? Also, youâve hooked up someone new, havenât you? Why are you back here seducing my brother, you whore?â Shut your mouth!â I stared back at the evil bitch.
â1 have no interest in any man you sleep with.
Of course, if you could steal him from me, others could do the same to you.
A tiger canât change its stripes after all.â âChloeâ¦â âYou stupid cunt!â Melanie almost threw herself at me.
Staring at her stomach, I said coldly, âDonât forget youâre pregnant, all right? Who knows if I might hurt you?â Hearing this, Matthew quickly held Melanie back and glared at me.
I chuckled and added, âThatâs more like it.
You should protect your child.
Donât forget to do a paternity test when theyâre born, okay?â âYou littleâ¦â I walked away with a cold smile, dragging the two suitcases behind me.
Melanie struggled with Matthew and cursed at me, drawing the attention of a group of downstairs neighbors.
As the suitcases were too large, I struggled to carry them downstairs.
Fortunately, some helpful neighbors arrived quickly to assist me.
One of them even said, âJust get a divorce, Chlo.
This family doesnât deserve you.
By the way, howâs Ava?â I told them how my daughter was and thanked them.
I never expected them to gather and see me off.
I was crying as I started my car.
I considered them family after ten years in the neighborhood.
Just when I thought I was done crying, I pulled over to the side of the road and sobbed uncontrollably.
I saw it as my way of saying goodbye.
Although I was now staying in a lovely apartment, my marriage was ruined.
The silver lining was that it When I was about to start the car again, Lauren called to meet up.
I drove straight to the agreedâupon location, and she looked surprised upon seeing me.
I knew I must look haggard because of recent events.
Letting out an embarrassed smile, I sat across the table.
âChloeâ¦â She hesitated, then said, âDonât dwell on it, okay? That man doesnât deserve you.â I I smiled.
âThanks.
Perhaps every person who has experienced a failed marriage goes through this.
We know itâs not worth it, but we still canât get over it.
Itâs more about the loss of our time and youth than the marriage.â She nodded in agreement.
After a moment of silence, she smiled at me.
ny way âIâve got some good news for you.
Iâve taken care of the matter, and you can discuss the details with them tomorrow.â Lauren seemed pleased with herself.
âI hope it can be of help to you.
Consider it my of making amends, okay?â It was both ironic and a relief that I received help from the woman my husband cheated with.
I had to admit that the news was a moral booster.
It ensured that my interests would not be compromised in the slightest.
âThank you so much! This helps a lot!â I said it sincerely.
âHey, donât thank me.
Women shouldnât make each otherâs lives difficult, should they? Youâre the biggest victim here, and I made one hell of a mistake!â She laughed, covering her mouth.
âIâm so ashamed of myself.â 2 I smiled at her.
Everything went smoothly.
My name was on all those assets, and I was Tanum Corporationâs legal representative.
So, as I walked out of the bank, my construction and renovation company had received the boost it needed.
Before I could call Ivanna and tell her the good news, I received a call from Grace.
