Beyond the Divorce by Third Blossom novel Chapter 837

We arrived at the warehouse and met Anya. She had become less reserved and could now say a few sentences in our language. This surprised me, but it just proved her intelligence and eagerness to learn.

I was sure we would be able to speak without a translator soon if she kept progressing at this pace.

The person Atlas wanted to meet was from Bermuda, and unfortunately, there was still no good news from there. Meanwhile, Loak had been insisting that he wanted to go back.

His reasoning was simple. He was familiar with that place and might be able to find someone quickly.

However, Atlas had consistently refused his request.

On our way back, I asked Atlas why he didn't want to let Loak return. He said it wasn't the right time, and Loak had been away for too long. He needed an opportune moment to return; otherwise, those people could be ruthless, and he feared for Loak's safety.

We returned to Pleca Park at a very late hour, and I received some shocking news.

Melanie had escaped from prison!

I held the phone tightly for a while before running to the study. Atlas had said he needed to handle an urgent document and hadn't returned to our room.

As he saw me rushing in, he asked concernedly, "What's wrong?"

"Melanie has escaped!" I said urgently, "Will this affect Matthew's trial?"

After all, Matthew's case was directly related to Melanie.

Atlas frowned and said, "The fact that she escaped during this time will definitely have an impact on this case. This seems to be premeditated."

I walked to his side, feeling worried. Atlas pulled me into his arms, then picked up the phone as he comforted me, "Don't worry. I’ll find out what happened."

Then he thought for a moment and made a call to have someone investigate the details of Melanie's escape.

I called Adrian to get more information as well. He said he’d work on it and would call me back shortly.

"Why are you monitoring Keegan?" I asked in confusion. "Do you think this has something to do with the Thompson family as well?"

"Yes, it's too much of a coincidence. Melanie escaped right as Matthew's trial was approaching. That suggests that the Thompson family is on alert, and Keegan may be making a move."

I had to admire Atlas's quick thinking.

"Maybe this is a breakthrough." Atlas mused to himself, then looked at me. "You go rest. I'm heading out for a while.”

"Where are you going?" I asked.

"I need to deal with the aftermath. This incident will have many repercussions. I need to be prepared," Atlas explained. "You wait for Adrian's call. I'll be back soon."

I nodded, and he escorted me back to the room before going out. I didn’t see his car leaving through the main gate from upstairs, so it was likely that he had taken the secret passage.
