Chapter 331
Beyond the Divorce
Strange Information âHey, how many folks are here for the meal? Most are curious to see Matthewâs son! Initially, it was all a setup by Liora. She knew what kind of situation Melanie was in when she gave birth!â
âSo it was Liora?â I had thought it was Stella behind this.
âKeegan has officially become a shareholder in Ardora Construction and invested a whopping seven million dollars. He even brought in a major project! Thatâs why Matthewâs head is in the clouds right now!â
âThatâs why Matthew mentioned he has two major projects on hand. Seems like itâs true.â
Johnson was a bit disgruntled as he grumbled, âSome people have all the luck, even the smallâminded ones.â
âThatâs not necessarily true!â I retorted.
I was secretly overjoyed because this was fantastic news. It would be ideal if Keegan was in charge of Matthewâs projects.
I wanted to make these three forces unbeatable. This was all thanks to Lioraâs trap today. She helped me make up my mind.
Little did I know that plans were about to change, and someone else was even quicker on the draw than I The next day, I went into the office. I received a call from Bryan, the CEO of Alliance Corporation, whom Atticus had introduced me to at the banquet. He wanted to talk about the project.
With all the chaos of the past few days, I had completely forgotten about it. After ending the call, I hurried to Ryanâs office, only to discover he wasnât there.
His secretary informed me that he was out discussing a project, so I drove to Alliance Corporation with Carol Before I even reached Alliance Corporation, Graysonâs call came in. He had been busy, and I hadnât seen.
him for two days.
He mentioned that there was something important he needed to discuss with me. I quickly checked the time and realized I was running out of it.
Since I had already scheduled a meeting with Bryan, I asked Grayson to walt for me at the office.
Our meeting with Bryan was pleasant. He briefly introduced the project, and I shared our firmâs credentials. Both parties were eager to move forward with the collaboration Bryan was genuinely sincere, providing me with some relevant documents. Without lingering, I arranged for our next meeting and took my leave.
I said my goodbyes to Carol and left. What Grayson wanted to talk to me about weighed heavily on my mind.
When I returned to the company, Grayson glanced at the time and said, âChlo, could you please take me to the airport? Thereâs a project in Solaris that I want to try to secure. Letâs discuss it on the way.â
We headed back downstairs together. When we got into the car, Grayson said, âChlo, the information Iâve been looking into regarding Annalise⦠Something feels off.â
Graysonâs words caught me off guard.
I looked at him in surprise. âWhat do you mean by that?â
I had already had a hunch that something was amiss with Annalise. While I had no connection to her personally, this intuition was powerful.
Grayson frowned, and his face was grave.
He shook his head.in disbelief and spoke cautiously, âHow do I put it? Itâs as if sheâs been stripped of her identity, only existing within that welfare home. Outside of it, thereâs no trace of Annalise to be found in any records, let alone any connection with Mr. Atlas. And to suggest that they shared any kind of affection?â
Grayson continued to shake his head. âItâs simply impossible. Aside from that welfare home, thereâs not information on Annalise anywhere else!â
His words led me to a bold hypothesis.
âCould it be that this person was fabricated?
