Chapter 278
Beyond the Divorce
Go All Out Against Her Ivannaâs question surprised me. I looked at her in disbelief and asked, âWhat do you mean? Is she moving to Amethyst Apartments?â
Not only thatâsheâs also staying in the villa zone in your area! It should be pretty close to your place,â
Ivanna said, frustrated, âThe company has been too nice to her!â
Hearing that made me uncomfortable. I had a strange feeling I might have conflicts with Harmony.
Although she and I looked similar, I felt uneasy when I first saw her. I couldnât help but wonder if Ivannaâs impression of her had influenced my feelings.
Still, I knew others couldnât influence me so easily. However, seeing Annaliseâs photo gave me a sense of familiarity.
Lauren interrupted Ivanna, saying, âI thought we came here for a relaxing meal. Can we change the subject? Talking about Harmony affects my appetite.â
I obliged and said, âHey, guess what? Melanie gave birth.â
âWhat?!â Ivanna exclaimed. I succeeded in shifting her attention.
âIs it time already?â she asked, wideâeyed.
I casually replied, âIt was a premature birth by cesarean section.â
âHow do you know?â Lauren also became interested. After all, we were familiar with Matthew and Melanie. Mentioning them always riled us up. Nonetheless, I explained what had happened in detail.
1 canât believe it!â Ivanna slammed her spoon on the table. âI knew it wasnât that simple!â
I found the surveillance footage Johnson had sent me on my phone and showed it to them. Lauren and Ivanna were furious.
Well. Matthew finally has a son this time. Hopefully, heâll simmer down now,â Ivanna said, âItâs good as long as he bothers you less Hahaha Who knows if the child is even his? Not to be rude, but that kid could belong to someone else.
ing Melanieâs behavior, Lauren expressed her disdain, âSheâs capable of anything.â
Hey, you and I are on the same page. I suspected she was involved in various shady things. meeting her at the bar I knew she was somewhat involved with the man she âHahaha, maybe itâs their family tradition. His mom raises kids for other men, and Matthew takes over!â
Ivanna couldnât help but burst into laughter.
I echoed her laughter, saying âItâll come to light sooner or later.â
âItâs good that sheâs given birth. Now, we can retaliate if she dares to mess with us again. Sheâs not the only one who can be evil. We shouldnât show people like her mercy!â Ivanna spoke passionately. âDonât forget what I told you.â
I wiped the comers of my mouth, unable to contain my laughter.
Lauren added, âSheâs right. Weâll make Melanie tremble in fear and regret ever crossing you!
Ivanna continued, âDonât be softâhearted at times like these, Chlo. Sheâs a homewrecker, hurt your daughter, and assaulted you! We wonât let her do what she pleases The three of us brimmed with determination. After the meal, we headed to my car, and I prepared to send Ivanna back to her company. However, Lauren needed to use the restroom first, so I had to wait by the car with Ivanna.
We chatted while waiting for Lauren to return. Unexpectedly, I saw the wellâdressed Harmony leaving the building with her assistant. Although I had only seen Harmony once, I quickly recognized her because of her familiar features.
She saw Ivanna and me standing outside and glanced at us with disinterest. Harmony and I stared at each other silently. We had nothing to say to each other. Unexpectedly, she approached us.
Ivanna and I watched, but Harmony focused on my face. When she reached me, she arrogantly asked,â Are you Chloe Hartz?â
