Beyond the Divorce by Third Blossom novel Chapter 825

My question seemed to enrage her. She glared at me, her face flushed.

"Chloe, I invited you here today with sincerity. Never mind where my confidence comes from. I want to discuss Ardora with you because there's some connection between Ardora and you."

I took a sip of water, signaling her to continue.

Seeing my silent approval, she relaxed.

"After all, it was your ex-husband's. I understand the bond between husband and wife. He’s also your child's father! Moreover, isn't it a convenient way to settle the score if you take over Ardora?"

As she spoke, a trace of disdain involuntarily appeared on her face.

"It’s not easy being a woman from out of town struggling in a city like this, especially if you have a child. Opportunities like this aren't always readily available. Expand your influence while you can. After this opportunity passes, you may not get another one."

Her words sounded a bit like tough love, all for my sake. But, at the same time, it hinted that I climbed up the ladder through my association with Atlas.

"Is this a concern for me?" I replied with a distant tone. "Though if someone else said it, I might be moved."

"Don't deny it. Haven't you relied on men? Otherwise, how could Bourdamun fall into your hands?" She didn't bother hiding the disdain in her eyes, adopting a condescending demeanor.

I remained unfazed, watching her with a calm expression. The more she acted this way, the more I understood the urgency in her heart.
