Beyond the Divorce by Third Blossom novel Chapter 986

I knew several of the Murphy family's properties had been sealed, and Matthew was homeless.

John understood what I was asking and immediately responded, "He’s been renting a small house for now. He says he doesn't care about any other property. He just wants to reclaim the small house you two used to live in."

A wry smile twitched at the corner of my mouth. I silently sighed at his realization that had come too late.

"I’m hanging up." I told John.

Laurie realized it was John on the phone, so she turned to me and asked, "What's going on?"

"Let's go back to the company. We'll talk in the car," I said. In truth, I felt uneasy.

Matthew had regained his freedom, but seeing him in a predicament like this worried me.

I was concerned that Matthew would have a hard time in the future. He was like a giant baby who refused to grow up. Once he calmed down, he would regret this if he still had a conscience.

I explained John’s intentions to Laurie. She glanced at me, and I could tell what she was about to say. I spoke first. "I won't get involved! Do you think I have nothing better to do?"

Laurie chuckled and said, "I'm not saying you shouldn't get involved, but you need to weigh the pros and cons. I explained the logic to you at the very start. If you keep meddling, he'll only become more dependent on you. Eventually, it will affect your relationship with Atlas. Think about it!"

Laurie’s words were straightforward but reasonable.

I nodded. I know that this was the kind of thing a real friend worried about.

I believed that this wouldn’t come between me and Atlas, but I couldn’t take advantage of the situation.

Laurie suddenly looked at me and asked, "What if Ardora can't sustain itself?"

"They’ll have to deal with that themselves!" I said decisively.

"Don’t you want to acquire it?" Laurie asked tentatively.

"I used to think about that just to vent my anger. But I don't want to anymore. It doesn't benefit or help Tanum Corporation in any way, and I won't act impulsively. I’m sure that acquiring Ardora Construction would only be a burden! What do I need it for?" I replied.
