Chapter 398
Beyond the Divorce
After work, Ivanna called to inform me that Stella had returned to Foswood. I called Grayson and asked him to watch Stellaâs movements closely. I had a hunch she wouldnât return without taking some action.
In the evening, Ryan and I arranged a dinner at Al Dente to thank Joyce and her team. When we arrived, I received a call from Ivanna as we entered the elevator. I gestured for Ryan to take our guests upstairs and stayed in the lobby to answer the call.
After the call, I stepped into the elevator, and a couple entered with me. The man was tall and slender, with a scholarly look. However, his eyes were mysterious.
The woman was tall and voluptuous, dressed in trendy attire, and had heavy makeup. Her perfume was so intense that it made me feel suffocated. After all, I seldom used perfume.
The elevatorâs mirrored interior reflected our figures as I stood before them. They seemed like a well-

Her Regarding their outward presence, the two were wellâmatched. They possessed an intimidating aura that kept others away.
I instinctively compared Ivannaâs delicate figure with Trinityâs voluptuous one. In comparison, Ivanna couldnât compete with Trinity regarding appearance.
Indeed, Jaredâs demeanor complemented Ivannaâs, as there was a sense of security in their partnership. However, Ivanna was no match for Trinityâs fierceness.
Lauren was rightâthe woman embodied malevolence. How could Ivanna stand up to someone so ruthless? I couldnât help but shudder as a sense of foreboding arose. Before entering the private room, I called Grayson and asked him to gather detailed information on Jared and Trinity.
However, Grayson informed me of another piece of news during the call.
