Beyond The Divorce - Season 9 Episode 28

Lauren looked surprised when she saw me come in and asked, “Why are you back so soon?”

“There was nothing worth discussing with her,” I replied disdainfully.

I quickly greeted Bella. “Long time no see, Bella. What are we having for lunch?”

I walked over to her and watched her busy herself gracefully. Every move she made exuded a captivating beauty.

Bella smiled elegantly, glancing at me. “It’s been a while. Have you been busy lately? I hear construction has already started in Bourdamun.”

“I’m busy as always. While they’re working over there, Avalon Hills will be up next,” I reported.

My impression of Bella was improving, and I had become increasingly captivated by her.

“Matthew’s trial is coming up soon, isn’t it?” She put down what she was holding and wiped her hands. “Are you feeling confident?”

“Since Ardora’s legal representative is Melanie, all I can do is ensure Matthew’s freedom and prevent him from going to jail. But Melanie will have to pay for her mistakes,” I explained. Bella shook her head. “You’ve got it tough.”

Then she casually mentioned, “I baked some cake and made porridge with two simple vegan dishes. We’ll have a light lunch.”

I sat down. “That sounds perfect. It’s exactly what I was craving.”

Lauren joined us and handed me a cup of tea. “What’s the deal with Liora? What is she really up to?”

“She’s doing the same thing as Melvern. She’s trying to convince me to take over Ardora.”

“Why do they suddenly want to let Ardora go?” Lauren pondered, her brows furrowing.

“Those two aren’t in cahoots. They just happened to have a similar plan,” I said, thinking as I spoke.

Lauren looked at me, puzzled. “You mean they didn’t communicate with each other, and even though they both want to act, their goals aren’t aligned?”

I nodded in response.

“So they both think you’re an easy target?” Lauren scoffed.

“Could she have some plan that makes her want to give up Ardora?” I muttered to myself.

I couldn’t quite figure out the plot here. She had made a significant effort to secure Ardora, only to suddenly decide she didn’t want it. That didn’t make sense. Had she really fallen out with Melvern? Or were they trying to set a trap for me? I couldn’t get to the bottom of this.

But it was definitely unusual that both of them wanted to get their hands on Ardora.

Bella checked the time and said, “Let’s eat and talk.”

The three of us enjoyed a fantastic lunch. Betta’s cake was especially exceptional. It was soft and sweet, with a lingering fragrance. I wanted to learn how to make it and share it with my family.

Life would always be merrier if you had a family.

I had asked myself these questions many times.

Can’t I take a step back? Why am I getting myself involved in these life-and-death struggles? But some people just love to stir up trouble!

It all made me feel weary.

Ivanna had just woken up and called me. She asked where I was and when I would see her tonight.

We agreed on a time to meet, and I asked if she wanted to join us for dinner, but she said she was still in bed.

After ending the call, Bella said, “Is there any news from Trinity?”

“You know about that too?” I asked in surprise.

She nodded. “Jared happened to be here that day.”

Suddenly, I asked her, “What do you think about Jared and Ivanna’s situation, Bella?”

Lauren also looked at Bella, waiting for her response.

Bella looked at me, smiling indifferently, and said just two words, “It’s complicated.”

My heart sank. This was a situation I really didn’t want to face.

“The Huffman family already sees Jared as one of their own. It’s deeply ingrained in him. Besides, there’s no way to separate them in business.” Bella’s voice was gentle, but@ach word pressed heavily on my heart.

I couldn’t help but feel weighed down.

“Many have feared Jared these past few years, especially those under the Huffman family. Trinity is ruthless, but there are some people she can’t touch. But Jared is different, and…”
