Beyond the Divorce

Chapter 1338 Clear Target, Take Action



"I was afraid of this. What do you mean, once bitten, twice shy? You just misjudged him!" Ivanna poked directly at Beatrice's weak spot. "For a guy, his appearance, family background, social status... none of that matters. As long as his character is solid and he genuinely cherishes you, you'll experience a different life. Really, Beatrice, trust me!"

"Looks like you've experienced a great awakening," I teased.

"Aren't you the same?" Ivanna asked. "Beatrice knows about your legendary love life. Could you be where you are now if it weren't for Atlas? He spent eighteen years looking for you and never gave up. Aren't you happy?"

Both Beatrice and I burst into laughter. I retorted, "So what you mean is, when you encounter the wrong person like I did, you should cut your losses, strengthen your resolve, and fight on bravely?"

"What's wrong with that? Don't focus on the process, look at the result!" Ivanna said emphatically. "A good nail does not fear the hammer. You just need to have a strong will!"

Both Beatrice and I laughed heartily.

"That's rich, coming from someone who was on the brink of death and had given up back then!" I poked fun at her weak spot.

"You always choose to highlight my less glamorous side!" Ivanna looked at me in displeasure. "Are you trying to say that your current choice is wrong? Isn't Matthew just like that person she encountered?"

Ivanna continued questioning me. "You always went above and beyond in your previous career, but you ended up with nothing. What's the use of a career? Isn't it all because the people around you were wrong?"

I had to nod. "Yes! I was at my wits' end back then. I wanted a divorce but I got taken advantage of instead. Ivanna saw it all. She has the most say about this."

"Imagine if that situation had continued. Chloe, would you have gotten the chance to rescue Beatrice, who was suffering just like you?" Ivanna's words were very practical.

Then she grabbed Beatrice's hand. "So, you need to find someone who cherishes you!"

Beatrice's lips twitched, and I understood her. Gabriel seemed to be doing well on the surface back then, but...

"Don't just look at what a man says and does on the surface, Beatrice. What you see may not be true. What's more important is a man who waits silently without

complaint, and acts with sincerity.

That's what's really v

My

words had a deeper meaning, and I believed she understood.

When the quick-witted Ivanna saw that I was being vague, she bluntly said, "I think Finn is a really good man. The Bullock family are pragmatic and kind-hearted. You can tell from their eyes that they genuinely care about you."

"That's right!" I quickly added.

"In my opinion, regardless of family background, career, character, or status, they're all better than that heartless Gabriel. The Russell family supported those evil deeds and saw you as a pawn. Maybe Gabriel targeted you in the first place because you were from the Chandler family." Ivanna's words were rough but reasonable. I admired her directness.

"But the Bullock family is different! They're sensible, capable, and certain!"

I seized the opportunity to continue. "What Ivanna said is right. Finn has had eyes for you since high school He studied hard just to keep up with you. He was a rebellious child, but he buried himself in his studies. He's always regretted not being able to go to the same university as you despite his best efforts.

"He came back to Gerby after graduating from university because he knew you were coming back too, but then you had that accident.

"He's always believed you weren't

insane. He tried his best to find a way to get into that psychiatric hospital to find you, but there were too many people in the Chandler family's pockets, and Byron almost crushed the Bullock family. He had to stop fighting publicly, but he never gave up. He quietly searched for opportunities, and finally, when I came, he told me about all the clues. That allowed us to investigate the Chandler family quickly and save you! NôvelDrama.Org © content.

"The Bullock family has had your back throughout your entire journey. They've provided manpower, resources, and financial support. Finn has even silently visited your mother's grave on your behalf for the past eight years."

At this point, I found it hard to continue. After a pause, I said with deep sincerity...
