Beyond the Divorce

Liora's attire today was elegant, and the cast on her hand had been removed.

She appeared calm, as if the criticism online didn't bother her at all. Her face showed no signs of embarrassment or guilt, and she seemed to have treated the insults as if they were directed at someone else. On the other hand, Vicky carried herself with arrogance.

As she entered, she greeted the members of the socialite circle confidently.

Then, she headed straight for a tall and elegant woman. Her back was turned to me, but her graceful silhouette and well-defined curves were visible. She had neatly coiled black hair with a few pearl accessories interspersed among it, creating a charming look.

This hairstyle was not very common nowadays, but she managed to make it seem elegant and stylish, emphasizing her slender neck. Two pearl earrings dangled from her ears, adding a touch of charm to her overall appearance.

Unfortunately, I couldn't see her face, but judging by her figure, she seemed to be a beauty.

She was wearing a conservative apricot-colored dress, appropriate for a business networking event.

Judging by Liora's expression, it seemed like they were familiar with each other.

Liora headed straight for this woman. It seemed like they had planned to meet beforehand.

After exchanging pleasantries with my old friends, I turned to Lauren, asking her, "Who is that woman?"

Lauren shook her head slightly and replied, "I didn't see her face clearly, and I don't think I know her. But don't you think she's familiar?"

I stared at the silhouette. I did think she seemed familiar, but I couldn't recall who she was.

Lauren lowered her voice. "Doesn't she look like the woman from the clothing store?"

My eyes narrowed, still fixed on the woman.

I thought that being so close to Liora at a time like this probably meant they had a special relationship.

Just then, Nick approached me and said, "Please come with me, Ms. Chloe."

He spoke to me with the utmost respect, since I hadn't publicly disclosed my marriage to Atlas. That was why he still addressed me as "Ms. Chloe."

I quickly nodded and followed him. We walked over to a group of people near the front desk. Nick smiled and introduced me to them. They were official representatives from another city in the province responsible for a development project.

I learned that they were representatives from a neighboring city of Bourdamun.This is from NôvelDrama.Org.

We had a pleasant conversation, and I discovered that they wanted to understand more about the architectural philosophy of the Boudamun project.

Since they were interested in

↓

learning about Bourdamun, which was my project, I felt confident that they were considering a partnership. I firmly believed that the experience gained from Bourdamun's construction process would be valuable, and currently, Bourdamun's project held significant weight in their minds.

I took the opportunity to invite them to our office for a more in-depth discussion, as we couldn't really talk here. They gladly accepted my invitation, and during our conversation, I learned that they

were not all from the same city,

Which surprised me.

I was pleasantly surprised that this social event had turned out to be a good one. I developed an even greater respect for Nick, who had efficiently handled official communications on behalf of Atlas. After Nick briefed me discreetly, emphasizing the need for a follow-up, I nodded solemnly. We scheduled a meeting time, and they bid us farewell.

As I turned around to look for

Lauren, I saw that she was engaged in conversation with a middle-aged man with a smile on her face. Just as I was about to walk toward her, I saw Liora with the woman whose beautiful back I had admired earlier. They were heading toward Oliver. I couldn't help but fix my gaze on them.
