Beyond the Divorce by Third Blossom novel Chapter 690

Lauren did not give him a chance to speak and continued in a weak voice, "You don't need to feel guilty or anything. You don't have to take a woman like me to heart."

Her words were self-deprecating.

"Lauren..."

"Even if you do want to break your promise to your wife, you can easily find someone more suitable for you since you’re an important man. I’m sure it won’t be me. In the eyes of you and your wife, I'm just a shameless, lowly socialite. I'm not good enough to step into your home, let alone be your wife."

"It’s not like that. Please don't misunderstand me," Oliver seemed anxious, and took a step forward to explain.

Lauren raised her hand to stop him, "You don't need to explain anything. Your words and actions have already said it all. I'm sure that I’m still smart enough to figure out what you want. Your wife is formidable. She triumphed over me even in death. She’s looking down on me from beyond the grave. I have to admit defeat."

As Lauren spoke, a sad smile appeared on her lips. It was heartbreaking to watch.

"I was driven by vanity in the past, but I’ve grown up. I knew I had no value to you back then. I was just a tool, just an accessory, but I have no complaints." She took a breath and her face grew even paler.

"But now, I want to live for myself. I want to live with dignity, and I don’t want to depend on anyone else. I used to be just trash, but now I want to change.”

Oliver watched as Lauren's face turned colder and more desolate. “I’ve never looked down on you, Lauren. I just thought you would understand me no matter what I did."

Lauren suddenly burst into laughter. "Understand you? No matter what you say or do? You overestimate me! I don't understand you, and I don't want to understand your game with your wife."

"Chlo, please escort Mr. Oliver out. I need some rest," she said, looking at me.
