Beyond the Divorce by Third Blossom novel Chapter 607

Ryan and Hana were reviewing the design drawings when I arrived at the company. When he saw me enter the room, Ryan instructed Hana, "Make the modifications and send this to the Design Division for review."

Hana agreed and quickly left.

I looked at Ryan. "The notice was issued today? That means Liora already knows she's out of the game. Then…”

Before I could finish my sentence, the phone rang again. I checked the screen. It was Matthew. I instantly realized that Matthew had already found out. It seemed like news had spread fast.

I answered the call. Matthew sounded very excited. "I didn't misjudge you, Chloe. You really did pull this off."

I knew what he was talking about, but I couldn't admit to it.

"What do you mean? What's going on? Can you explain?" I pretended not to understand.

"Oh, don't play dumb. You pulled off the Avalon Hills deal, didn't you?" He continued delightedly. "Let me tell you, Liora is furious right now. She's calling for help all over the place."

"What are you trying to say? What happened?" I questioned further.

"Didn't you mess up the signing of the Avalon Hills contract?" Matthew seemed a little surprised. "Liora delayed the signing, and now things have fallen apart."

"When did this happen?" I continued my act. "Didn't you bribe the right channels and get it all settled?"

"It seems there's something fishy going on. It's definitely not that simple," Matthew speculated. "If you don't want this project, help me out. I want to handle it myself to stop that woman from causing any trouble."

Matthew was shamelessly trying to use me. "Help you? Your wife slapped me yesterday. Did you forget about that already? Do you really think I'd help you get the project?" I berated him.

"Oh. That was no big deal for you. It's just a little give and take, right?" He was still on Melanie’s side.

"Do you think I'm your servant, Matthew? You've been pointing fingers all this time, and now you want my help to win a project? Please. I've already helped you get out of trouble, so handle the rest yourself! I’m helping you take care of your mother, raise your child, and now I have to care for your business? What are you thinking? Melanie slapped me, and there’ll be consequences for that," I said, and hung up the phone.

I disdainfully tossed my phone onto the table, muttering, "Shameless."

Ryan looked at me. "Was that Matthew?"
