Beyond the Divorce

The atmosphere at the party was lively. Glasses were clinking and people were mingling in the splendid hall.

When Ivanna and I entered, it was already pretty late, and many guests had arrived.

I recognized some faces at the gala, but I had to admit that I was not acquainted with most of the people here.

As we walked into the venue, I overheard people whispering, "What beautiful women."

"Who are those two? I don't think I've seen them before."

"They're gorgeous. They might be from a prestigious family, and they might have just returned to the country recently."

I realized the whispers were talking about us. Of course they hadn't seen us before since I had never attended events like this. But I wasn't interested in their discussions and had no intention of drawing attention to myself. I simply smiled and ignored them.

I glanced around and looked for Trinity. It seemed she hadn't arrived.

I asked Ivanna, "Will Jared be here today?"

Ivanna shook her head. "He usually avoids things like this unless it's necessary or if there's someone special he must meet."

I nodded, realizing that Jared had always been low-key and wouldn't attend events like this unless there was a compelling reason. Today's gathering had been organized by several renowned companies, but it wasn't significant enough to draw his attention.

Key individuals in the business and entertainment circles were present, and I exchanged greetings with some familiar faces.

I spotted Liora unexpectedly. What surprised me more was that she was accompanied by someone familiar-Vicky, the woman I met yesterday.

I found that puzzling. How was Vicky connected with Liora? They did seem like they were birds of a feather.

Ivanna noticed my gaze fixed on a particular spot and asked me in a low voice, "Do you know any of those people around Liora?"

I looked over at Liora. Apart from Vicky, who I met yesterday, I didn't know any of the others.

I shook my head playfully, saying, "Her circle changes too quickly."

At that moment, Trinity finally made her entrance, capturing the attention of many attendees.

I turned to Ivanna, and we shared a knowing smile. "Yes, she's very ambitious, and she has a lot of tricks up her sleeve."

We exchanged glances, acknowledging Liora's approach in everything she did.

I could see her chatting animatedly with several gentlemen from a distance, exuding an air of pride. I was certain she felt that Ardora was securely within her grasp, and this was undoubtedly her moment of triumph.

Just then, a commotion near the entrance caught my attention. As I looked over, I noticed three glamorous women walking in side by side.

As soon as they entered the hall, they immediately attracted the attention of many eager male guests. It seemed that those three beauties had a considerable presence.

Ivanna snorted disdainfully. "These so-called upper class events are nothing special. Anyone can just show up. See the tall one in the middle? She's not even a socialite. She's just a celebrity."

"Oh, no wonder..." I squinted my eyes. "No wonder she's so popular."

"They've come here with a stronger purpose than Liora. They're trying to 'hook up' with the 'big shots' here, hoping to marry into a wealthy family. These gatherings are a feast. It's the best place for them to showcase themselves." en.s.net

"It's also a shortcut." That was the highlight of events like this.

Suddenly, it clicked in my mind. "Poppy Quinn?"

"Yes. That's her, She and Harmony

were once fierce competitors from different companies. But that woman, is even more of a schemer than Harmony. Unfortunately, Harmony was ruined by Stella." Ivanna looked at Poppy's face with hint of helplessness. en.s.net

"Otherwise, given her popularity at that time, she would have been

more famous than this woman. Now that Harmony has fallen, she's standing out on her own, riding a wave of good luck. Resources are

flowing like water toward her."

As Ivanna delved into the intricacies of their industry, I couldn't help but admire her knowledge.

While I was engrossed in observing the three beauties, a familiar voice greeted me, "Hey. Ms. Chloe, we meet again."
