Beyond the Divorce

I sighed as I put down my phone. Ivanna looked at me.

"We need to come up with a plan to reconcile those two. They need to patch things up and move on with their lives. I can't stand seeing them like this. They're not getting any younger, and if we delay things further, Lauren might end up an old hag."

I chuckled. "You're quite something. You've thought so far ahead."

"Well, what do you think? Doesn't Lauren want children?" Ivanna said.

I nodded. Lauren had mentioned it. It was a sensitive topic for her.

"If you think about it, Oliver is still a man, and he and Lauren are a good match. Let's not forget, they were doing well together before. They were always in the public eye and widely accepted. We can't just watch them fall apart like this."

I nodded.

"We should think of a solution. But Oliver needs to step up too! To be honest, Lauren's not wrong at all. What he did back then was very hurtful," I added.

"Well, better late than never," Ivanna remarked.

At that moment, Eleanor walked in.

When Eleanor saw Ivanna, she said, "Long time no see, Ivanna!"

Ivanna realized it was Eleanor and greeted her with a smile. "I've been away from Foswood for a while. How have you been?"

"Great! Working with Chlo is amazing."

Eleanor looked content.

Then, she turned to me and said, "When are you free? Let's go check out Jaxford Doors!"

I thought for a moment and told her, "Hold on a second. Let me check Solaris. I'll ask Fred if they've finalized their schedule. If they can't make it anytime soon, we should go to Jaxford right away." "Sure," Eleanor agreed.

I dialed Fred's number. He didn't pick up, so I decided to call later.

In the meantime, I asked Carol to fetch the clothes I bought for Ivanna from my car.

I suddenly remembered something. "Ivanna, there's something I almost forgot, but you were right on the money."

"What is it?" Ivanna looked at me.

"I got news yesterday that Harmony had plastic surgery, and it was very successful, We couldn't even

recognize her. Oh, and remembonet

Harmony at the supermarket? It was her.

My words hit Ivanna like a bomb, making her gasp. She stared at me wide-eyed, asking, "Really? That was Harmony?"

I nodded solemnly. "Yes, it was Harmony. We've had our clashes. It seems she's gotten more cunning now."

"Damn, was that really her?"

"Liora took her in!"NôvelDrama.Org owns © this.

"She's up to something for sure! If Liora took her in, she must have ulterior motives," Ivanna quickly concluded.

At that moment, my phone rang with a call from Fred. I answered immediately.

"I was just wondering about your upcoming trip, Fred. Have you made any plans?"

I had been back in Foswood for over ten days and Fred hadn't come to see me yet. It seemed something was going on.

Fred paused for a moment before

should arrive in Foswood tomorrow and stay for... three days, maybe."

He made a decisive statement.

I wanted him to come to Foswood to encourage him.

The way he had handled the situation with Hugo was sure to have consequences.

"Has anything happened?" I casually inquired.

"Let's discuss it in detail when I get to Foswood." Fred's reply made it clear that something had definitely come up.

Hugo was an obstacle to Fred's career.

"Okay, let's talk more when we meet tomorrow."

After hanging up, I thought for a moment.

I had planned to meet Dominic Fred together. It would be more and it would also make conducting the inspection more manageable.

But as I considered Fred's desire for a heart-to-heart conversation, I decided to forget calling Dominic this time.

I turned to Eleanor and said, "Schedule a visit to Jaxford in three days."
