Beyond the Divorce

Chapter 1215 Tragic Fate



As soon as the words left my mouth, I regretted them. I shouldn't have rubbed salt in Anya's wounds like that.

Arton had already opened two coconuts, handing one to Hana and another to Anya.Content held by NôvelDrama.Org.

"I'm sorry," I said sincerely.

Anya shook her head. Tears rolled down her cheeks as she said, "It's not your fault, Mrs. Chloe."

Then she continued, and Hana continued to translate for me.

"It's because, one day, the person who robbed that crate of goods appeared before Navi and recognized my father.

"My father also recognized him, but he couldn't speak by then. He was mute, pointing at that person and trying to explain to Navi, gesturing and making noises. He wanted to tell Navi that the person was the one who robbed us and that he was innocent.

"At first, that person was nervous, but when he saw my father's condition, he became brazen. He accused my father of embezzling his money right in front of him."

I shook my head helplessly, knowing the likely outcome.

As Anya looked at me, I noticed her eyes were hollow like black holes. "Even though they had stolen that crate, he accused my father instead, claiming he had already paid my father. And he blamed Navi for not protecting his people.

"Navi immediately pulled out a gun and shot my father. My mother lunged at that man, wanting to fight him, but Navi shot her too."

Anya's hands trembled as she held the coconut, her fingernails digging into it.

"My brother and I were both there, serving them dinner, and we watched helplessly as our parents died in front of us. My brother wanted to fight that man, too, but an old woman grabbed him and saved his life.

"I was so frightened. I was about to cry when my brother covered my mouth and saved us both. Afterward, my brother said he would avenge our parents." Anya was now choking with sobs.

Hana translated this segment, her face turning pale, and my heart felt heavy.

After calming down, Anya said, "My brother said that Navi knew that the person framed my father. But Navi to intimidate that person, killed my parents in front of him just so the man would continue to work for him." Content belongs to

"What a deceitful man," Hana commented.

Swnt

But from what I knew of the situation, it probably wouldn't be that easy.

Navi's roots ran deep. Over the past 20 years, his influence was extensive. Killing Anya's parents wasn't just to intimidate that person but to silence him.

No wonder Atlas was hesitant to take action. Unless we completely got rid of him, he would remain a threat in the future.

While Hana comforted Anya, I didn't want to say anything. The best comfort for her fragile heart would be to get rid of Navi.

I turned to look out the window and saw that Atlas and Arnold were no longer in confrontation. They were leaning against the railing outside and talking calmly.

That was just how they were. They

were absolutely in sync when it came to serious matters. But Atlas seemed particularly averse to Arnold being near me, as he was always

overly clingy. Content belongs to

I took another sip of coconut water and then set it down. I was about to leave when the two of them walked in.

Atlas walked to me and said softly, "If you're tired, you can return to our room and rest for a while. It's still hot outside at this time. I need to go out for a bit, probably for about two hours." Content belongs to

I scrutinized him, wanting to ask where he was going, but I couldn't appear too clingy with so many people around.

Besides, Atlas's people were here, so there must be something he needed to take care of. I just nodded and didn't say much.

Atlas seemed to sense my displeasure, pondered momentarily, and then said to Arnold, "You can take them out for a walk, but don't go too far or stay out too late."

I felt relieved to hear that. "Okay, you go ahead with your work. We'll make our own plans."
