Beyond the Divorce

I smirked and locked my phone while the car smoothly left the mall's underground parking lot and headed straight back to the company.

When I returned to the office, I eagerly unlocked my phone again and carefully read the detailed information about Melvern.

The records were thorough, detailing the Sunny family's history, status, and influence in Foswood. But there was no information about what trouble Melvern had caused here.

It seemed like that incident was something they wanted to keep hidden, or they wouldn't have covered it up so thoroughly. That made me very curious.This content belongs to Nô/velDra/ma.Org .

I picked up the phone again and called Grayson. He answered promptly. "What's up, Chloe?"

"Can you investigate Melvern's past?" I asked. I believed his return to Foswood must be related to some past incident.

"That might require a special plan," Grayson replied. "I'll think of a way."

His mention of a "special plan" implied he had something in mind.

"Okay. This is related to Liora. Melvern has invested a lot in her. I believe he must have a plan." I explained.

"Alright. I'll deal with it. I'll check his profitable projects overseas as well. I'll dig deep into his background since he's investing such a huge amount. There must be something behind this."

"That would be great." I felt excited. Then, I asked Grayson, "Do you know anything about the situation in the Lido area?"

"Aren't Mr. Atlas and Dylan there right now?" Grayson answered, giving me the information I needed.

I suppressed my inner dissatisfaction and I continued, "I know, but I wanted to ask if there were any new developments."

I didn't want Grayson to know that Atlas had left without telling me. I was afraid he might hide things like this from me in the future. I understood that their intentions were for my own good, but this involved my father.

"The situation there is still unclear. Mr. Dylan went there in person because he wanted to act quickly. Our people have reported that the address exists, but we can't confirm if the person is there. Clark probably wouldn't dare lie to us, especially since Jarvis is already in our hands."

Grayson's words added to my worries. What if my father wasn't around, and Atlas missed him?

"Can we trust our people there?" I asked with some concern.

"The ones most familiar with that place are the Huffman family's people. But as far as I know, Mr. Pei didn't contact anyone from the Huffman family for this trip," Grayson informed me honestly.

"Don't worry, Chloe. I'm sure Mr. Atlas will take care of it. He wouldn't take risks if he weren't confident. Afterall, he cares a lot about your father's safety."

"Alright, notify me immediately if there's any news," I requested.

"Sure."

After hanging up, I thought over Grayson's words. If the Huffman family was familiar with that place, why hadn't Atlas informed them? That made me question his decision.

But I quickly realized that the

Huffman family's familiarity was due

to their business interests in that area. Considering Atlas's disdain for that type of business, it made sense that he didn't want the Huffman family to know too much.

I understood Atlas's perspective. Perhaps he didn't want to get the Huffman family too involved in this.

But I had an odd feeling that this situation was more complicated than it seemed.

After work, I went straight to the hospital. I wasn't sure if Lauren had gotten better.

I also scheduled a check-up for my injured arm. The doctor said my recovery was going well, and I could now remove the cast. I felt relieved.

I was finally free to move.

Lauren wasn't doing so well, and I had the driver take my mother home while I stayed with her at the hospital.

Suddenly, I remembered Melvern. I asked, "Lauren, do you know Melvern?"
