Beyond the Divorce by Third Blossom novel Chapter 698

Lauren furrowed her brow. "Melvern, the second son of the Sunny family? Didn’t the Sunny family move overseas? Why are you suddenly asking about them?"

I realized that Lauren did know him. I quickly explained, "Yes, they moved, but Melvern’s been active in Foswood recently. Do you know about his past relationship with Liora?"

I looked at Lauren, holding onto a glimmer of hope that she might have some insider information.

Lauren frowned. "I don't really know much about Melvern. When I came to Foswood, the Sunny family was already showing signs of decline. I hadn't met Oliver at the time, so I didn't have any contact with the Sunny family. But everyone knew that they had to move. The Sunny family were still important in Foswood."

Her words left me somewhat disappointed. It seemed that this matter with the Sunny family was a well-guarded secret.

"As far as I know, Melvern was Liora's first love, and she married Atticus later. I think something must have happened there.”

"Oh, is that so? I had no idea," Lauren said with a hint of surprise.

I continued, "I suspect that Atticus's rejection of the Thompson family must have some hidden secrets. Apparently, after Liora married Atticus, she would still contact Melvern in private. Atticus definitely wouldn’t tolerate that."

Lauren nodded. "Atticus is a proud man; he wouldn't tolerate being cuckolded.

"So, I think that Melvern's return is related to the substantial sum of money he secretly invested in Liora’s plan. I'm convinced he has an ulterior motive."

I analyzed the details with Lauren, who frowned while she pondered the situation. Finally, she turned to me and suggested, "I think you should ask Atticus about the Sunny family, Chlo. You might be able to find out something from him."

Lauren's words enlightened me.

She was right. I could use this opportunity to get some information and delve deeper into Atticus.

But...
