Beyond the Divorce by Third Blossom novel Chapter 1149

"Hah, it was even worse than that. When she got out, she was barely breathing, and you could even see her ankle bones. She looked more like a corpse than a living person. She hasn't fully recovered yet, but she’s just taken over the businesses from the Keller and Chandler families, so it's been a little overwhelming for her."

It tugged at my heart to think about Beatrice looking so helpless when I had left.

"I want to see her. It's been too many years, especially in times like these. It's a pity I can't help her," Ivanna sighed. "It would be nice if she were still in Foswood."

"I invited her to come back to Foswood, but it might not happen anytime soon. After all, she’s never managed such a large company before. Now, the weight is on her shoulders all of a sudden, and she needs to deal with their mess. It'll be really tough for her. The crucial part is she doesn't have a good grasp of many insider details. Those people are still Byron’s subordinates. I’m worried."

"Doesn’t she have anyone by her side?" Ivanna asked.

"There is a man who has been secretly in love with her. He’s my business partner too, and he’s good at his job. But... she might not be ready for that right now. After all, she suffered a significant setback in her love life, and it’s taken a toll on her."

When I left Beatrice with the Bullock family before leaving, she hadn’t seemed enthusiastic about it.

"Well, let's have a meal together if you have some time tomorrow. I’ve been thinking of solving Lauren’s issues. We can’t just leave it like that anymore.”

Ivanna was talking about Lauren and Oliver.

"Sure. Let's meet tomorrow and talk about it." I was getting tired.

As soon as I hung up, Beatrice called. I quickly answered. "Hi. Have you had dinner?"

She sounded a little tired. "I have. Paula made me soup, and I had a big bowl. Don’t worry. I can take care of myself."

"After Paula and Toby came back, they invited a few good loyal employees from the Keller family back. They all returned this afternoon. They treat me like family, and they’ve been looking out for me. You don’t have to worry about me."
