Beyond the Divorce by Third Blossom novel Chapter 775

I nodded. "I have no intention of making things difficult for you, Mr. Melvern. However, this is Tanum Corporation's current situation. Since you've candidly assessed the situation, you must also know that this is the prerequisite for cooperation with Tanum Corporation."

"I do." Melvern stared at my face, his emotions unclear. "Currently, there's a pressing project. I would like Tanum Corporation to design a plan for it, and I believe you will be interested."

"Oh?" I intentionally expressed interest and asked, "Where is the project?"

Melvern's smile was intriguing. He paused briefly, then said, "In Rivendell."

I felt a sudden chill. Without thinking, I asked, "Rivendell?"

Melvern smiled triumphantly. "Yes, Rivendell! Have you heard of it, Ms. Chloe?"

I suddenly felt that I had overreacted.

"Yes," I responded to salvage my composure. "I heard rumors about a new development project in Rivendell but didn't pay much attention. After all, our current projects are in the consolidation process, and some are about to start. So, it slipped my mind. Is it true?"

I skillfully shifted the focus, turning the tables. Deep down, I felt a bit nervous. Could he be eyeing Rivendell because it belonged to Atticus?

"If you trust Tanum Corporation, you can provide the relevant information to our General Manager, Mr. Ryan. Let him assess it. I can introduce you to Mr. Ryan. You can communicate directly with him regarding the project. He's more professional and authoritative."

I delegated this responsibility to Ryan because he was undoubtedly more authoritative. Additionally, by doing so, I left myself a way out.

I needed to talk to Atticus privately about this matter.

Melvern nodded. "No problem. Thank you, Ms. Chloe."

I stood up and said, "Please wait a moment, Mr. Melvern."
