Beyond The Divorce - Season 9 Episode 27

I couldn’t help but chuckle. I looked at her as I asked, “So you’re saying Stella did that all by herself? Didn’t you recruit plenty of accomplices? If you’re trying to say that it was Stella, you’re an accomplice too!”

Her mouth twitched. “You-”

“And that dump truck? Do you really think it won’t be traced? Don’t forget, the heavens are always watching. Also…”

I locked eyes with her, making it impossible for her to look away.

“Do you want me to keep going? You came to talk, didn’t you, Liora?” I cooled down my expression, leaving her no room for thought.

I narrowed my eyes and probed, “Oh, maybe you don’t know this, but Melvern has already placed Ardora’s shares on my desk. Didn’t you discuss this with him?”

“What?” Liora looked at me in shock, a sinister hostility in her eyes.

She clearly had no idea what Melvern had done. It seemed like it was all a coincidence.

I backed off from the topic of Melvern and tried to pressure her instead. “You’ve squandered so much of his money, so you must owe him an explanation. Think about how he’ll deal with you if Ardora doesn’t end up in his hands.”

I smiled at her and watched her face turn pale.

“But don’t forget, Ardora isn’t yours. You can’t take what isn’t yours, even with your cunning ways. What you did in the dark will eventually come to light,” I added, stoking the fire.

“So what on earth gave you the confidence to come to me for money? I’m not your mom! There’s no reason for me to support you,” I said disdainfully with a touch of wickedness in my tone. Liora erupted. She stood up abruptly, grabbed the tea cup from the table, and flung it at me.

I was ready for her and dodged aside. The water splashed along my shoulder and a few drops landed on my face. However, it was meaningless.

I seized the opportunity to pick up the large cup of hot water I had just received and retaliate unapologetically. Every drop of the scalding water found its mark and landed on her face. She screamed as the water hit her. “Ah! Chloe, how dare you splash me?”

“Oh, you wicked woman!” Liora wiped her face, pointing at me angrily. “How could you ”

“Why wouldn’t dare?” I looked at her unflinchingly, maintaining my provocative tone. “You have a

terrible memory. I warned you. Don’t provoke me. If you do, I’ll retaliate, every time. Do you think I’m here to exchange pleasantries with you?”

I sat down, slamming the handkerchief on the table and startling her. Then, I grabbed the teapot and poured another cup, staring at her with a measured gaze.

She took a step back, looking at me in fear. “W-What are you doing?”

“What am I doing? Who are you to challenge me like this? I’m not the type to get angry just because I don’t see eye to eye with someone, but it’s a different story when it comes to you

flipped the script, my face growing dark.

Her face reddened and her eyes fixed on me malevolently.

I continued, “And remember this. Ardora is something I want. I have my ways, so don’t waste your efforts. I have a bad temper, so don’t challenge me. If you do, you’ll find yourself at a dead end.

“If there’s nothing else, I’ll take my

leave. See you at the court the day after tomorrow! You’re right. I am sentimental. I’m dealing with that heartless ex-husband. I don’t need anyone else to worry about it. How I punish him is my business. Don’t interfere.”

“Chloe!” Liora roared.

I frowned at her. “Shh! Stop that. You might not have any shame, Liora, but I do. The people who come here are pretty important. Stop screaming like a shrew. See you the day after tomorrow.”

I stood up, grabbed my bag, and headed out. I took a step and paused, turning back to look at her. “You’ve done many terrible things, Liora. It’s time to pay the price. What do you think?” After I said that, I walked away with a cold smile.
