Beyond the Divorce by Third Blossom novel Chapter 923

I sighed with a bitter smile. In the end, human relationships are all about using and being used.

However, reflecting on the events surrounding Liora and the incident with Atticus, his assistance to me is indeed a drop in the ocean.

No wonder Atlas has been observing Atticus's moves. It seemed that Atlas was my true behind-the-scenes support, the one manipulating the situation.

Atlas was the one pulling the strings.

I assumed that Atticus would never dare to act rashly against me. If Atlas wanted to push him into bankruptcy, it would only take a few minutes, and I believed that Atlas was capable of that.

Judging from the fact that he could pocket such a big project in the capital, it was trivial for him to give up on a project in Rivendell.

On top of that, I was in trouble at that time. Of course, he wouldn't let anyone succeed. He retreated in order to advance.

That was the real reason why Atticus had always treated me differently.

To be honest, Atticus has constantly scrutinized my relationship with Atlas, just like Melvern was observing my relationship with Atticus. Everyone has their motives.

If it weren't for Atlas behind me, Atticus wouldn't bother looking twice at a minor figure like me.

From a series of events, whether the Beringer family or the Huffman family, Atticus was undoubtedly an influential figure. Otherwise, he wouldn't be where he is today.

However, the hint he gave me just now surprised me. He must be following Matthew's case and preparing all along.

He was genuinely hoping for Liora to face retribution. This was understandable.

I unconsciously picked up the phone, dialed a number, and only realized afterward that I was equally anxious.

"Ms. Chloe!" Annika's cheerful voice came through the phone.

After a while, she choked up and said, "Since my husband passed away, Arton has become much more gentle. Even when he goes out, he rushes back home as if someone will snatch the child away if he's not there."

I also smiled. "Is he home now?"

"He is. He's feeding the baby milk," Annika quickly replied. “Charlie seems to have a good appetite. He's growing well."

I laughed. "I'll drop by one of these days."

"Okay, come over. We really miss you." Annika didn't hide her happiness.

"Alright! I'll see then if Charlie still recognizes me."

After saying this, I thought of Atticus's matter just now. If I were to mention this to Arton, how would he and the Reese family react to my intentions?
