Beyond the Divorce by Third Blossom novel Chapter 1028

When Poppy heard those words, she didn’t look pleased, but she couldn't refute it.

But even if she felt that way, I didn’t think she regretted coming out with us. After all, she had tried to get close to me just to meet Atlas.

But Arnold didn't care whether she felt awkward or not and continued, "If you’ve been an actress for a long time, you end up acting both on and offstage. I’m sure you’re no exception, Ms. Poppy."

Arnold looked at Poppy with a playful smile. "Come over to my side. I'm better for you than him. Why bother chasing a married man?"

I chuckled, leaning into Atlas's embrace. "That's enough, Arnold. Ms. Poppy is my friend. Don't cross the line."

"Are you really so naive or are you just pretending, Chlo? She’s your friend? If she really is your friend, why is she still interested in your husband?" Arnold continued bluntly. "There's a saying that goes, never dip your pen in company ink. If she's your friend, why is she pining after your husband? Isn't that just courting disaster?"

Lauren was clearly trying to hold back her laughter. Her eyes fixed on me with a triumphant expression.

"It would be a wise choice to come to me, Miss. Why embarrass yourself further? I'm richer than him. You won't get another chance like this. I’m the key to the upper class. Choose wisely."

Just as Arnold finished speaking, the door opened again, revealing Oliver.

Surprised, I immediately looked at Lauren. She had been laughing moments ago, but froze instantly, turning into a statue.

Arnold obviously knew that Oliver would be here, or he wouldn't have said what he did.

"Are you here to pay the bill, Oli?" Arnold teased.

Oliver didn't hold back either. "That’s right! I'll pay your bills for a year. Then everyone can see how the Beringer family's youngest son freeloads."
