Beyond The Divorce - Season 8 Episode 2

Liora’s voice echoed behind me, laughter accompanying her words, “Hi. You’re too kind. It’s just something that had to be done. With all that money invested, what else could I have done?”

I silently cursed her shamelessness. She had taken over someone else’s property and pretended to be innocent now.

“Indeed, it’s still because of your capability, right? I heard that the couple had done quite a few shady things. Maybe Tanum should be investigated, too. Who knows if they’re doing the same thing?” Someone remarked sharply.

“Oh, please don’t say that! The CEO of Tanum is present, so be careful with your words.” Liora played the role of a good person.

Her provocations were directed toward me, who had my back turned to her.

But some people just didn’t know their limits. Upon hearing Liora’s words, someone immediately said, “So what? Everyone knows about the Murphy family’s dirty deeds. Tanum’s ex-CEO has been running the company for so many years. I bet the foundation has long been corrupted.”

“Exactly. Liora did the right thing by taking over Ardora. Otherwise, such evil things would happen again.”

“I heard it was Matthew’s wife who did it.”

“Oh, don’t talk nonsense. Let me introduce everyone properly.” Liora’s voice fell when someone gently tapped my shoulder.

Turning around, I was surprised to find that Liora was tapping me. She stood behind me, smiling and saying, “Ms. Chloe, long time no see.”

I gave her a faint smile and replied with a double entendre, “Ms. Liora, you’re quite forgetful, aren’t you? We just met when I was injured.” Moreover, I intentionally addressed her as “Ms. Liora,” knowing well that her preferred title was “Mrs. Liora” in such situations. Surprisingly, she didn’t mind and warmly pulled me over, introducing me to the group of women.

“Let me introduce you all. This is the rising star in Foswood’s construction industry, the

remarkable Chloe Hartz, who is just as good as any other businessman. Oh right, she’s the ex-wife of the former CEO of Tanum.”

Her introduction was indeed purposeful. In such upper-class circles, there were many people I didn’t know. Her introduction instantly attracted attention, especially with the title she gave me.

Many people’s favorite pastime at

the time was gossiping about Matthew. He was not well-known, but the recent scandal involving shady construction company, subpar materials, the couple’s imprisonment, and several projects being halted made headlines.

This had become common knowledge recently, and Liora’s introduction was undoubtedly intentional. People who were just speculating about my identity now looked at me strangely.

Upon hearing such an introduction, those who couldn’t resist gossiping had already started discussing it privately. After all, my divorce from Matthew had been widely known and discussed in Foswood. They were quick to gossip and quick to forget. The divorce period had been my peak of popularity, but it had faded. However, with Liora’s introduction, she ensured I wouldn’t be forgotten.

Some realized who I was, and the gossip mills started turning again.

It seemed that Liora had succeeded. However, I wasn’t bothered by it. Instead, I calmly added, “It seems you’re quite familiar with me, Ms. Liora. But you forgot one thing I’m also the ex-wife of the former CEO of Ardora. Thank you very much for pushing Ardora during difficult

times.” en.s.net

As soon as I spoke, everyone’s attention turned to Liora, and her smug smile froze on her face.
