Beyond the Divorce by Third Blossom novel Chapter 760

I was convinced that she didn’t believe I could be so confident. Maybe I even seemed a little arrogant to her.

But I had no intention of backing down. I continued, saying, "It’s just fate. Take Harmony, for example. Even if she transformed herself to be like me, she would still be Harmony, not me."

"Harmony transformed herself to be like you?" Poppy asked incredulously.

"You probably understand Harmony better than me." I chuckled, throwing the question back at Poppy. Then, I explained, "As the saying goes, know yourself, know your enemy, and you will never be defeated. Harmony is your competitor. Don't you understand her?"

A moment later, I asked her again, "Was that confusing?"

Poppy seemed uneasy. "I envy you for having such confidence."

I smirked. "It's not just confidence. If you don’t do anything out of line, nothing will happen to you. Harmony is a tragic example.

"She also came to me for advice back then, but unfortunately..." I shrugged. I used this example deliberately. Smart as she was, she wouldn't fail to grasp the message I wanted to deliver.

To my surprise, while we were talking, Atlas walked in with an imposing air as if he had been summoned by our discussion.

Poppy and I were both stunned when he pushed the door open and walked in.

Atlas rarely visited my office unless it was a special occasion.

He must have wanted to surprise me and assumed I would be in the office alone.

Poppy, on the other hand, probably hadn’t expected her target to appear. The surprise in her eyes was clear.

Atlas was dressed in a well-tailored and stylish suit, exuding a captivating charm. His thick, casually combed-back hair revealed a full forehead, and his incredibly handsome face was impossible to ignore. He radiated an air of sophistication and aloofness from head to toe, like a king possessing an undeniable majesty.

He was completely unaffected by the ‘outsider’ in the office and continued to stride in naturally. Every move he made left Poppy infatuated. She seemed to momentarily forget where she was and that I was still there.

She probably thought Atlas's confident steps were meant for her. Suddenly, her face flushed with a mix of infatuation and greed. The longing in her eyes intensified with every step Atlas took. It was as if she wanted to pounce on him.

Her unmistakable desire to conquer him was evident, and I was sure she must be trembling with excitement.
