Beyond the Divorce by Third Blossom novel Chapter 589

I responded with a distant smile, acknowledging that his sources were well-informed.

Without delving into the specifics of how he knew about my success in Bourdamun, I casually said, "The decision to hold on or let go depends on what aligns with your own interests. I always choose a path that better suits my personal development."

Matthew seemed somewhat disgruntled at my response. "It looks like you still have reservations about me, Chlo."

I asked, "What do you mean?"

I understood what he was implying. He had been unsettled by my smooth journey.

He chuckled awkwardly. “I don’t think I could have endured being overshadowed by a woman if you were as helpful as you are now during our time together. Sometimes, I really don’t understand how everything happened the way it did. We were a good match, and you’re still important to me. When we were building the company together back then…”

"Let's remain focused on the matter at hand, Matthew," I interrupted, avoiding any reminiscing about the past. I hated it when he did this.

"I do have a real problem, Chlo. You have to help me. I'm in a bind right now. Otherwise, I wouldn't have come to you!" Matthew tried to grab me, but I dodged.

"Tell me, then. How can I help?" I started with a hint of impatience. "Don't expect too much from me. My abilities are limited. Just get straight to the point.”

Matthew looked frustrated and said, "Did you know about Liora's plan to withdraw her investment?"

I feigned ignorance and inquired, "She wants to withdraw? Weren't you two having a great collaboration? Why would she want to withdraw? I didn’t know about that. I'm not interested in other people's affairs."

"You're talking as if this is someone else's problem," he remarked with a wry smile.

I couldn't be bothered with him. "I really don’t care about your affairs. I've been avoiding them to stop your wife and her allies from coming after me. I'm a bit of a scaredy-cat."
