Beyond the Divorce by Third Blossom novel Chapter 489

Chapter 489 A Sudden Confrontation Upon hearing my reminder, she seemed to think I was trying to oppress her and instantly became furious, raising her voice several notches.

"Chloe, don't think that just because you rely on Atlas's connections to come here today, you feel like your worth has doubled. What are you? An outsider trying to establish yourself in Foswood? You really have some nerve.

Even Matthew could easily shoo you away with a kick. Do you really think you can come and go as you please, you despicable wretch!" Liora's words were extremely cutting, but I paid them no mind. I was well aware of her character and had seen

enough of her. There was no need to stoop to her level; I couldn't afford to lose my dignity here. : | I continued to speak softly, "I have always known how to put myself in the right place. It's true I'm an outsider, but I started my business with my own wisdom, aboveboard and honest. I would expect you to have a bit of decorum. At least, show some respect for Atticus.

I swiftly grabbed her wrist before I could even speak, only to hear a low, chilly voice interject,

"Ha. I didn't expect that even at my place, you would dare to be so insolent. I'd like to see who dares to be so overbearing here." As the voice fell, Rose appeared at the

door, accompanied by Bella. Her sharp gaze fixed on the two of us. | The old lady's eyes were extremely sharp, with a trace of distinctive hostility. She cast a disdainful glance at the arrogant Liora. She instructed Bella, who was with her, "Bella, call Atticus over." I could feel Liora's arm tense in my grasp, her face turning pale.

I let go of her hand and quickly said to the old lady, "It's okay, Grandma Rose.
