Beyond the Divorce by Third Blossom novel Chapter 1193

"That means Clark Norton had collusion with him!" Atlas analyzed.

"And me? I was still smugly thinking that I had completely escaped!" My dad chuckled, "Now looking back, I've never really escaped his clutches!"

"So, when you saw me pursuing Chloe, you already knew who I was?" Atlas looked at my dad and asked.

"I didn't know! I didn't even know who Rory White was, or how he ended up in Navi's hands later! But this time, Navi told me who Rory White was! We had a candid chat all night."

“Why did he tell you these things?” I looked at Atlas and asked, "In theory, he shouldn't have revealed Rory White."

Atlas's eyes suddenly lit up, "Oh? Are you saying that this formula, instead of being toxic, is actually for detoxification?"

My dad nodded, "Yes, that's why, even though I wanted to become a chemistry teacher in Bibury, I was tirelessly hoping to correct my mistakes using the laboratory there! To atone for the heinous crimes I've committed! To alleviate my sins!"

"Fight poison with poison?" Atlas mused.

My dad remained silent for a long time before raising his head again. "Well... once you rescue Rory White, I-I'll go back to Bibury with Moira! We've already discussed it last night. Navi won't desire that house anymore. I can still go back there... and live a simple life. I..."
