Beyond the Divorce by Third Blossom novel Chapter 759

Poppy had an interesting expression on her face as she said that. Her smile seemed both playful and sly as she looked at me.

I knew exactly what was going on. She was trying to play mind games and engage in subtle rivalry with me.

I understood what she was thinking. Her words had a bitter undertone to them despite her radiant smile. The true purpose of her visit was likely not as simple as it appeared. She had come all this way to see me, and I didn’t believe it was just a casual visit, especially since we didn’t really know each other. What she said seemed like a joke between friends, but it could also be a provocation between rivals in love. It even sounded like she was gloating.

I remained indifferent, pretending not to care. After all, Poppy was no friend of mine.

I casually took a sip of the coffee and calmly responded, "Well, Ms. Poppy, it depends on where you heard that."

My nonchalant demeanor left Poppy a little perplexed, and I could sense her frustration. I refused to give her an opening, which made it difficult for her to proceed.

In an attempt to salvage the situation, she said, "I just heard some gossip. You know how it is in our circles. Gossip is inevitable, and I can't help but listen."

She finished with a smile, acting as if this was a trivial matter while concealing her true intentions.

I found it amusing. It was like she was like a snake, peeking out and quickly retreating.

She seemed to realize that if she didn't probe any further, her visit might be in vain, so she added, "I heard a lot, especially when Harmony and Mr. Atlas had that intense affair. There were all kinds of rumors circulating back then."

I chuckled. "Looks like you paid quite a lot of attention to these stories."

I was subtly hinting that she was overly concerned about the people involved in the gossip.

I casually remarked, "But I’ve never seen them having an affair. Maybe I've just been oblivious."
