Beyond The Divorce - Season 4 Episode 95

Myra hesitated but then spoke with determination. “Melanie is in charge of the materials. She secretly manipulates things and often sends Johnson in to handle it.”

I understood what Myra said right away. This was my chance. I needed this evidence to catch Melanie

and her cohorts in the act.

Johnson’s distress was understandable to me. After all, this was not a small–scale project but a

substantial endeavor.

This was one of Celine’s few major city projects. When Liora got it, she secretly handed it to Matthew, using him to open another front for her younger brother. If anything went wrong with this project, all three would be implicated.

My body tensed up. I hadn’t expected it to be so effortless.

While I had plans for these three businesses, I never expected things to work out so well. My scheme hadn’t been this ruthless. Now, I could bring their entire operation to a halt.

Myra became concerned when she saw my dazed expression, fearing she had said something wrong. Chlo, I–I had no choice but to come to you because I trust you. I’m just feeling so uncertain…”

I patted Myra’s hand as I gathered my thoughts. After a brief moment of reflection, I spoke with purpose. Myra, be patient.”

It was almost 7 p.m., and Johnson should be finishing work.

So, I told Myra, “Give Johnson a call, ask him to come over, and we’ll have dinner at my place.”

“No… Chlo, he doesn’t even know I’m here! He’ll be mad at me… I should head home!” She stood up to get her child.

I quickly pulled her back. “Myra, don’t be nervous. Johnson won’t blame you. Relax. Since you’re here, I’ll have Johnson come over for a chat, too! Make the call and ask him where he is. It’ll be fine!”

Myra looked at me nervously. It seemed like she didn’t want Johnson to know she came to see me.

“We need to resolve this. Since you trust me, I want your full trust. Currently, I want to talk to Johnson!”

Myra gulped and looked at me anxiously. ‘Chlo, Johnson…”

Johnson is actually working for me!” I couldn’t hold it in any longer.

Myre was taken aback, and I quickly followed up with an explanation.

“Johnson has always been close to me, so I can trust him. If he’s available today, I’ll talk to him about

Matthew’s company. It’s been a while since I’ve seen him, and he discreetly helped me at the last baby party. I haven’t had a chance to thank him yet.”

Myra smiled. “Chlo, are you telling the truth?”

“Yes, Johnson and I have always gotten along well,” I reassured Myra. “I’m hesitant to call him in case

he’s with colleagues from the company. It might be awkward.”

“Alright, then I’ll give him a call!” Myra said with a smile, pulling out her phone to dial Johnson.

I couldn’t miss this opportunity. However, I did have a slight concern.

After all, Liora is married to Atticus. He had helped me with recent incidents, and making a move against

Liora might not sit well with him. It appears that I will need to consult with Lauren on this.

Myra had already called Johnson. He quickly answered, and Myra immediately put the call on speaker.

“Just got off work, and I’m heading out now. Don’t wait for me for dinner. It’s a busy day for me.” I could.

hear the frustration in Johnson’s voice.

“Honey, is it convenient to talk?” Myra cautiously inquired.

“Yeah! What’s up?” Johnson said, his tone clearly showing his discontent.

“Honey, hold on, Chlo wants to talk to you!” Myra said, passing the phone to me.

I I reached out to take it. Johnson, are you done with work?”

“Chlo… Oh!” Johnson realized that calling me by my name might not be wise.

I quickly whispered, “I met Myra and your son outside today, so I brought them to my place. Why don’t you come over too? Let’s have a meal together. We’re looking forward to seeing you!”

I said this on purpose, to ease Myra’s nerves.

“Huh? Alright, I’ll be there soon!” I could tell Johnson was excited. “I’ll hang up now. See you in a bit!”

I could tell he said this intentionally for the benefit of the people around him.
