Beyond the Divorce by Third Blossom novel Chapter 812

Arnold was dismissive of my skepticism.

"The affair between that woman and Melvern isn't as big a feud as it seems. Just because he stole his wife? Nonsense. Melvern sees Liora as nothing more than a piece of clothing."

Arnold seemed quite repulsed.

"Why is that? Atticus doesn't seem afraid of Melvern. But from what I see, there's a possibility that Atticus is right about Melvern coming back for revenge. Could it be because of this report from back then?" I questioned.

"This incident was the main factor that led the Sunny family to leave Foswood."

I had to admit that fact. Arnold looked at me calmly, then continued, "Atticus's greatest resentment was Liora’s family forcing him into marrying her."

"Forced?" I questioned this statement. "Why?"

Arnold chuckled. "It's hard to believe that a distinguished CEO like Atticus was 'forced' to marry Liora, right?"

I nodded. "Yeah!"

"That's now. At that time, Atticus was just a small contractor, barely making a name for himself."

I nodded repeatedly. "That's true."

"How do I put it? The situation here is especially complicated, involving too many people with connections. Especially the subsequent events, which made some people unforgettable for a lifetime, and Atticus is one of them." Arnold looked detached from the matter as he spoke.

He added, "They were all children from wealthy families and even some high-ranking individuals. Just imagine that the mastermind behind this incident was Melvern. It was a period when he was having an affair with Liora, so you can imagine how Liora feels."

"Grandma used to say that Liora was the root of all troubles. She can't be controlled." I repeated Rose's words to Arnold.
