Beyond The Divorce - Season 3 Episode 35

I had an idea and casually remarked, “It seems that Matthew’s luck knows no bounds!”

“Absolutely! Otherwise, he’d be in a tough spot. He mentioned during the meeting that he’s focusing on projects outside the city to avoid competition. Now he’s busy preparing for it.”

“I heard his mom isn’t doing well,” I said casually.

“Yeah, not too good.” Johnson nodded.

After some small talk, I left the restaurant. My mind was filled with thoughts about Grace. Maybe I had been too stern and shouldn’t harbor ill feelings. However, there wasn’t a single Murphy worthy of pity.

Back at the office, I summoned Grayson. ‘Look into who Matthew contacted after he was attacked. Also, find out which companies are handling projects in Muborough.”

Grayson nodded. “Is there anything wrong?”

I replied, “Matthew secured a contract in Muborough while in the hospital. Find out how he got it, especially who he interacted with during his hospitalization. He went on a business trip right after being discharged and returned with the contract,”

Grayson nodded in understanding.

The reason I was interested in Matthew’s contract wasn’t because I wanted to snatch the project. It was because I sensed something was amiss.

It seemed unusual that he could secure a contract while in the hospital. His words about not being able to compete with “them” intrigued me. I wanted to know who “they” were and their connection with him.

The incident where someone tried to harm me in the past still bothered me, and I wanted to know why.

“Any new developments on Stella’s end?” I asked.

Grayson shook his head. “No trace. I can’t crack it.”

“And what about the delivery guy?” I asked Grayson.

I

I had been monitoring ATL Empire’s activities regarding that matter, but it seemed to have faded away,

and nobody was talking about it anymore.

However, I wasn’t willing to let it go because a large batch of windows couldn’t just disappear without a

trace.

The affair between Atlas and Harmony was still escalating. According to the rumors, they had already been in contact a month ago, before Christmas.

Some even said that Harmony went to Nocturnia because of this and spent Christmas with Atlas. In any case, various speculations began.

I doubted the rumor about Harmony going to Nocturnia, especially since it was so close to the anniversary of Atlas’s parents‘ passing. It didn’t seem likely that he would bring a woman to spend Christmas with him then.

I remembered Atlas telling me to trust him no matter what happened. I couldn’t help but chuckle at that

ving to comfort thought. Why was I still thinking about those words now? What was the point? Was I trying

myself?

I recalled the day at the hot spring resort when I had seen Atlas and Harmony together. There was no

reason for me to seek comfort now.

Watching them enter the luxurious room, a man and a woman alone…

I threw the phone hard on the table, turned around, and left the office. I went to see Ryan.

Ryan set aside what he was working on and walked over. “Should I have them bring you a glass of water?”

“No need. I had some water in my office just now,” I said as I sat on the sofa. “Ryan, I have an idea. What do you think about bringing your parents over for the New Year? We can celebrate together with both our

families.”
