Beyond the Divorce

Just as we were talking, the police arrived surprisingly quickly. I exchanged glances with Carol, who promptly explained the situation to the police. She handed a small USB drive to the officer and personally removed a pinhole camera right in front of them.

Adelaide started to panic. She hurriedly approached me, grabbing my hand. "Please spare me, Ms. Chloe! I know I was wrong! I won't do it again next time..."

"Next time? There won't be a next time!"

I shook off her hand and sternly said, "Don't play your tricks where you shouldn't. I knew what you were up to the day you stepped into Tanum. If it weren't for you, we wouldn't have captured your master so quickly."

"What are you talking about?" Adelaide looked at me with a despairing gaze.

"Evil deeds will bring about self-destruction. Get that?" Carol looked at her. "Just stay inside, Liora's accomplice."

Her words made everyone understand what was going on.

The police, indifferent to her pleas, only recognized evidence in front of the law.

As we watched the police escort Adelaide out of our office, Carol hugged my arm. "I thought you changed, Chlo."

I glanced at her. "Look what you've become. You really need proper training to deal with someone like her."

Everyone laughed when they heard my words and quickly cleaned up the water stains on the floor.

After finishing my water, I told Carol, "I need to go out for a bit."

But before I could leave, Johnson walked in.

I sat back down and looked at Johnson, asking with a smile, "Why are you here? How's everything?"

Johnson smiled as he sat at my desk. "Things have mostly been settled. Thanks to Liora's case, those companies haven't sued Matthew. It's a good thing, so they didn't go all out."

"That is good news." I breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that we should be grateful for Adelaide's timely actions in handling Liora. Without her, we wouldn't have been able to deal with Liora so quickly.

"As for the house you used to live in, the bank was lenient, and I worked hard on it. It's now outside the debt, so he can move back," Johnson said proudly.

I nodded approvingly. "Thank you."

"Hey, Chlo, don't thank me. About the child's household registration, Matthew was angry about the child when he first returned. He claimed. he never said he wouldn't support the child, but reality was different. In the end, I managed to move the child's registration, and it's now under the Reese family's household. He's filed for divorce from Melanie, and that should be finalized soon. Everything seems to be going smoothly."

"Where is he planning to go?" I asked Johnson. It was something I had been curious about.

To be honest, I didn't want him to leave Foswood. His relationship with Ava had just improved, and I didn't want her to be disappointed in him.

"He wants to go abroad, experience

life out there," Johnson said bluntly. "When we drink a lot these days, he keeps talking to me about his regrets. He cries a lot too."

I smiled. I had no words.

"I don't think he can stay in Foswood any longer. He doesn't have a foothold anywhere. He's a man who cares about his pride," Johnson said regretfully. "I actually think going abroad will be good for him. He wants to make a fresh start. There's no way he can rise again in Foswood with no money and no connections. You know him. He can't work for anyone else." NôvelDrama.Org content.

"Has he decided where he wants to go?" I asked Johnson.

"He wants to go to Pharica."

"Pharica?" I was a little surprised.

"He wants to join a mining venture," Johnson said. "That shows he's still not giving up."

Yeah! How could he give up?

They say that going from simplicity to luxury is easy, but going from luxury to simplicity is difficult.

He had nothing, then possessed everything, but had now fallen into the abyss. I wasn't surprised that he couldn't accept it.

I couldn't describe the feeling in my heart, but I didn't express my thoughts.

After some contemplation, I spoke up...
