Beyond the Divorce by Third Blossom novel Chapter 1012

Evelyn shot me a glance, still glaring at me angrily.

"You're no good either. A divorced woman with a kid daring to seduce someone like Atlas! None of you are any good!"

She seemed determined to keep things vague.

I took a step forward. "I'll ask you again, who told you this?"

She stubbornly refused to make things clear. "It doesn't matter who told me. You two are just a pair of scheming women, trying to climb the social ladder by seducing men."

Another resounding slap echoed.

Philip was genuinely shocked by his wife's antics. It seemed like he had invited trouble upon himself.

"Why don't you tell me who said these things?" Philip shouted, his eyes blazing. I knew he was trying to divert attention, but his foolish wife wasn't cooperating.

"Why are you hitting me?!"

"Speak up!" Philip abandoned his usual refined demeanor and roared.

I saw Vicky's mouth twitching as she quietly retreated into the crowd, attempting to blend in.

Evelyn, covering her face, scanned the surroundings before suddenly pointing at Vicky.

"It was her who approached me, saying someone was seducing my husband and then said all those things!"

Vicky, unable to escape any longer, bit back.

"Are you insane? Do you just accuse whoever you see? I don't even know you! I don't know those two. Stop your ridiculous accusations!"

"You shameless woman! How dare you deny it?" Evelyn was furious, especially after being publicly slapped by her own husband.

I calmly looked at Vicky. "I really don't understand. This is a business cocktail party. How could someone like her infiltrate the event?"

My words caught the organizers' attention, especially those who knew who I was.

The executive in charge of the event stepped forward, addressing Vicky, "Excuse me, which company do you represent? How did you receive the invitation?"

Because of his actions, the attention was now focused on Atticus and Liora.

Liora's gaze was fixed on Atticus, but she did not dare to speak. It seemed like she had learned her lesson this time.

The trouble lied in Vicky. She was quite spirited. Sensing trouble, she looked at the silent Liora. "Aunt Liora, what does he mean? Why won't he let me call him uncle?"

In an instant, Liora became the center of attention, her face changing colors. She was caught in a dilemma.

Liora had no choice but to grit her teeth and ask, "Atticus, what do you mean by this?"

"Liora, why are you bringing disgrace upon yourself? Don’t you understand?" Atticus stared sternly at Liora. "Let me advise you, take care of yourself and leave yourself a way out. Otherwise, you'll find yourself with no place to hide one day."

"Atticus, are you threatening me?" Liora was losing her composure.

The onlookers couldn't help but question why Atticus said such things to Liora.

Everyone stared, dumbfounded, awaiting his response.
