Beyond the Divorce by Third Blossom novel Chapter 876

When I arrived at the Huffman residence, Anson was sitting alone on a recliner in the backyard gazebo. He looked lonely.

He immediately perked up when he saw me walk in. "Why are you here, Chlo? Aren't you busy?"

"I came to have lunch with you." I smiled, walking over and taking a seat across from him.

He sat up and looked at me, smiling. "That's nice of you, Chlo."

"I've been busy and I haven't had a chance to see you. I don't know how you've been feeling. I have to go to the capital tomorrow, so lunch is the best I can do." I reached over to pour him a cup of tea.

"Yeah, I know you're busy. I heard Bourdamun went smoothly." Anson looked at me, aware of my project in Bourdamun.

"Don't even talk about that. I almost didn't make it here to see you. But luckily, everything turned out okay." I sighed, taking a sip of tea.

"What happened?" he asked, sitting up straight and putting down his teacup.

"You know Bourdamun. There's always someone manipulating things behind the scenes. That led to a series of chain reactions. I took over the project, and naturally, someone was unhappy, which led to some trouble," I explained.

"Who's causing trouble?" Anson's eyes showed a hint of ferocity.

"It's hard to say for sure right now, but the prime suspect is Liora, pulling strings from the shadows," I said frankly.

"You mean Eugene's daughter?" Anson asked.

"Yeah! Do you know Eugene?" I asked.

Anson sneered dismissively. "He's not a good man!"

"People say he's a crook." I chuckled, remarking on his actions. "He's done some unscrupulous things."

"He's just a terrible man! He's thrived on scheming against others, and he’s been cunning and morally corrupt all his life. He's proficient in all the wrong things. He’s never done a good deed in his life," Anson spoke frankly, revealing his strong disapproval of Eugene.

"I didn't expect him to have such a bad reputation. I thought what I heard was biased," I said, surprised.
