Beyond the Divorce by Third Blossom novel Chapter 284

Chapter 284 The Culprit Is Here

I was taken aback as Atlas walked in with a stern expression. It seemed he was not surprised to find

Stella here.

Stella had been sitting by my bedside with her back to the door. When she heard someone approaching, she turned around. Seeing Atlas, she appeared genuinely surprised. “Atlas, you’re here?”

She quickly stood up and positioned herself by Atlas’s side. She held onto his arm. “I came to check on Chloe. Why didn’t you tell me it was this serious?”

Atlas’s gaze remained focused on her delicate face, and the corners of his mouth twitched.

“This isn’t the best place for you to be. Dylan, take Ms. Stella back!”

With that, she glared at Lauren and then left the room.

As I watched her departure, I couldn’t help but feel a sense of cynicism. I had to admit that Stella had a

bold spirit. There was no way she was unaware of the perfume incident. How else could that bottle of

Atlas’s tone softened considerably.

I looked at him, unable to suppress the simmering anger in my heart. “I’m not that high–maintenance. It’s just that this person has repeatedly targeted me, and I don’t have such a big heart to accommodate her

constantly.”

Atlas hadn’t expected me to lose my temper suddenly. My outburst left my mother speechless, and she

looked at Atlas, bewildered.

Lauren realized I still had something to say and quickly told my mother, “Laura, let’s go downstairs to buy

some snacks for her!”

My mother clooked worriedas Lauren pulled her out of the room. The atmosphere in the room suddenly

grew very awkward.
