Beyond The Divorce - Season 8 Episode 41

Once he hung up, I lamented, “I can’t believe I forgot such an important matter.”

He walked away from the desk, sat me on the sofa, and held me. “The children’s matters are the most important.”

I could see that there was a hint of jealousy in his words.

“Of course, I know the children are the most important. Do you think I helped Matthew because I felt sorry for him?”

Upon hearing my words, Atlas smiled.

“But after what happened with Ava, I won’t go easy on Liora anymore,” I said somewhat to myself. “She’s despicable to hurt the girls. She crossed a line there.”

Atlas raised an eyebrow slightly and said, “Then let’s repay her in kind.”

I was puzzled and asked, “What do you mean?”

“I meant it literally,” he said casually.

I quickly added, “I won’t stoop to her level.”

“There are a million methods to deal with her. There’s always one that will hurt her the most, especially the kind she can’t bear to face,” Atlas said casually. “The evidence from the online posts has been verified, and we should document every detail for her.”

“Matthew brought this upon himself, but let’s set aside his matter for now.” I pushed aside the issue with Matthew and updated Atlas on the situation in Bourdamun.

I told him we needed to step up our efforts for the Bourdamun project, expand the new urban area, and develop it into a modern city as requested. “Our initial plan and design only cover the first phase. Next, we need to design the entire administrative district.”

From the contentment in his smile, I could tell he had known about this news. But it seemed like this wasn’t exactly ‘good news’ for him.

I sat up and looked at him, asking, “Did you already know about this?”

He immediately dropped his smile

and solemnly said, “Not really. When

I discussed this with Arthur and Archie, it was just a preliminary suggestion and hadn’t been included in the implementation plan yet. That’s because everything depends on how we handle the rotten foundation of the old Bourdamun.”

I was somewhat surprised. “Are you saying my godfather knows about Bourdamun and this project?”

Atlas shrugged. “Of course. So, for this idea to truly materialize into a practical plan, we must thank Noah.”

I agreed with that. Noah’s recent workload was unimaginable, and his speed impressed everyone.

“He did act swiftly. The crackdown on those people was ruthless and thorough.” I expressed my approval.

Atlas pinched my cheek. “You’re

getting smarter. Not only did he act

swiftly, but it was a complete

cleanup. At least, anyone associated with Nelson has been dealt with. So, to eliminate any local threats expanding the scale is a must.”

“This sets a good precedent for my plan,” I added.

He looked at me and left a peck on my lips. “Then you should thank me, your husband.”

I blushed and avoided the topic, “What… husband?”

“Why not? Ava already calls me Daddy, so am I not your husband? You little troublemaker.” He teased, leaning in for another kiss.

Seeing me still avoiding the topic, he flipped me over and pressed me onto the sofa. In a provocative tone, he said, “If you keep hiding, I’m going to deal with you right here.”

“H-Hey! Not here… Let’s go back to the room!” I screamed in panic.

Seemingly taking it as an order, he swiftly carried me and headed toward our room. With a

mischievous grin, he said, “I’ll listen to my wife. She wants us to do it in the room, and we’ll do it there Wherever she wants me, I’ll be there.”

From his triumphant manner, I suddenly realized I had fallen into his trap.
