Beyond The Divorce - Season 5 Episode 66

~ Matthew’s slap sent Melanie sprawling. Her body skidded across the floor before she finally stopped. She lay there and writhed in a fit of hysterical sobs. She cursed, drawing disdainful gazes from everyone present.

Benjamin spat, “Leave, all of you! Listen to me, Melanie. It’s not over.

The cops will dig up every detail. As long as you’re involved, you’ll pay. | Matthew, take your bitch and get lost.

You’re the reason your mother fell so ill.” Benjamin did not flinch nor stutter as he continued, “I’m not afraid of you.

Sooner or later, that bitch will ruin you,”

Matthew realized how humiliated he was with a crowd of furious onlookers staring at him. He grabbed Melanie by the hair and dragged her into the elevator, leaving our office floor in defeat.

Carol waved to disperse the crowd, saying, “All right, that’s enough! Let’s get back to work, everyone!” I returned to my office and sank into my chair, panting. I had to suppress my fury.

Meanwhile, Carol and Eleanor entered.

The latter looked at me and said, “Chlo, why didn’t you call the cops? Now everyone knows that witch caused Ava’s kidnapping.” I uttered through gritted teeth, “I’d be letting off easy by handing her to the cops. She must experience genuine

horror and lose everything before | get her arrested.” Carol brought me a cup of coffee and said, “Take it easy, Chloe. She won’t get away with it, and the cops won’t sit still either.” Eleanor sighed, “I never thought Melanie would have the guts to do that.

To think she’d dare to harm a child is insane.” Truthfully, I knew Melanie was not the mastermind. The kidnapper was from Jitador, far from her reach. Still, I wouldn’t let her off, even if she were just an accomplice. I told Carol and Eleanor, “I’ll be fine. I just need a moment alone.” It took me a long while to finally calm down and clear my mind. Afterward, 1 called Johnson to arrange a meeting

with him. Later, I called Grayson and instructed him to do something for me discreetly.

With that, I became mentally exhausted but still lost in thought. It seemed the connection between the incident with Liora and Stella was undeniable.

Before I could understand the situation between Stella and Melanie, another unexpected development occurred. The minor scene from the supermarket the other day became exaggerated.

Someone had posted a short video of me shopping there. The post simply mentioned running into Harmony at the supermarket, nothing more.

However, the video quickly became viral, People began to slander me and even

dig up my details to portray me as a horrible person. These people even posted pictures of me with different men, claiming I had spiraled into degeneracy since my divorce.

The internet trolls also posted a picture from the last press conference with Ryan embracing me. I initially knew nothing about these posts. However, reporters waited for me when I went to meet Johnson at Galar Tower.

They converged when they saw me exiting the building. Since I had experienced such a thing before, I quickly entered my car and drove off to escape the frenzy. The situation had unfolded rapidly, and I knew someone was behind it.

After meeting and discussing my plan’s progress with Johnson, he

assured me everything proceeded smoothly. I also heard Matthew had taken over a theme park project through the Thompsons, leaving him little time to deal with the Muborough’’s affairs.

Melanie and the Thompsons’ influential figure overlooked the project, making it nearly impossible | for others to intervene. Meanwhile, Liora still strived to secure the Avalon Hills project by investing significant effort.

After discussing things with Johnson, I asked him to leave. Then, I sat alone in the room to ponder my options.

Suddenly, a bold new idea struck me, and I reached for my phone.

Immediately after, I realized Ryan’s number was still unavailable.

I remembered he was still on a flight, so I clutched my phone and considered my next move. It appeared I needed a way to uncover Liora’s secrets. Belongs t
