Beyond the Divorce

After I disclosed everything to Matthew, I felt somewhat at ease and thought that this wasn't happening because of my indecision. At least when Ava grew up, I would have an explanation for her. As I was about to call Grayson, he hurriedly walked in.

"Chloe..."

"I was just about to call you." I looked at Grayson and said, "I have a few things to discuss with you."

"Go ahead."

We both spoke at the same time and smiled at each other.

"You go first." I let Grayson speak.

Since he was rushing in, I thought he might have some news.

"Chloe, I've confirmed the authenticity of that photo, and there's absolutely no problem. We've apprehended one of Keegan's underlings. We've got them."

He said further, "Liora and Celine have been in close contact recently. The person supporting Ardora on Liora's side is an overseas investor named Melvern Sunny. According to the investigation, he's Liora's first love. Currently, he has immigrated to Monora."

"Wait a minute..." I interrupted Grayson.

"Melvern Sunny... right?" I asked, and suddenly, I remembered that Grandma Rose had mentioned the Sunny family, one of the four major families in Foswood.

"Yes, he's a Foswood native." Grayson nodded confidently.

"Check carefully. Which generation of the Sunny family is he from? Investigate him," I instructed Grayson. I hadn't expected this to involve the Sunny family. How did this declining family get involved in our affairs? What a small world.

"He's the second son of the Sunny family," Grayson answered without hesitation, clearly having done a detailed investigation.

"The Sunny family used to be a

prestigious family in Foswood. Later, they immigrated to Monora. Lance is the eldest son, and Melvern is the second son. Lance is a very stable businessman, while Melvern is more unusual and involved in various businesses.

"They say that some trouble began because of Melvern, and the Sunny family was almost completely ruined. Afterward, the Sunny family had no choice but to migrate."

My mind suddenly became clear. No wonder Grandma Rose had said that the Sunny family later went downhill. There was a story behind it.

"Did you find out what trouble he got into?" I asked.

Grayson replied, "It's a very closely held secret. Konly know that Melvern and Liora were classmates back then. Later, Liora married Atticus and that's when she broke up with Melvern. But no one knows whether they really broke up. Melvern is

supporting Liora this time.

My mind was spinning rapidly. So that's why Atticus had parted ways with Liora long ago. Melvern seemed to be the real reason behind that.

It appeared that every family had its difficulties.

In this case, Atticus didn't have a grudge against the Thompson family for no reason.

"What happened is related to what I

want to tell you. It seems we've

connected the dots again. Matthew might suffer soon. Once Liora successfully takes control of Ardora, we'll provoke her. We don't need to rush anything right now, but we need to monitor them closely to see what Liora and Celine are planning," I told Grayson.

"Celine has been busy lately. She didn't come to Foswood from Nocturnia this time; she came from Monora," Grayson reported.

"Last time, we noticed that Stella met Keegan in private." I suddenly remembered the time when I caught Stella giving something to Keegan.

"I've been keeping an eye on that, but I haven't found any significant clues. However... I've found another lead," Grayson said, looking a bit uneasy.

My mind raced, and I looked at him. "Why did you hesitate before saying that? What did you find?"NôvelDrama.Org holds this content.

Grayson continued to ponder and seemed conflicted. I assumed that whatever he was struggling to say was related to me.
