Beyond the Divorce

 Let the Drama Unfold

I silently praised her.

Good! She was composed.

Andrea also stared at Eleanor, surprised to see her carefree attitude. Eleanor didn't take the bait, leaving Andrea with no opportunity to expose Eleanor's flaws.

This woman wasn't wise. Liora is more clever in this regard. No wonder she fell into Liora's trap.

Seeing that Eleanor didn't respond, Andrea turned to Vernon.

"What? Vernon, haven't you figured it out yet? She doesn't respect you at all!"

Vernon's face darkened.

"You've been played by Eleanor. When she left Surface Solutions, she never wished well for it. Did you really think Eleanor would take your side? She's a backstabbing opportunist. Why else do you think she ended up at Tanum? Liora already mentioned it. Some people are just—"

Vernon couldn't bear it any longer, turning to Andrea and shouting, "Shut up!"

His loud reprimand startled me, and I observed Andrea's defiant expression.This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org: ©.

Andrea froze for a moment and suddenly screamed, "How dare you yell at me?! Why don't you question this slut? She's climbing up the social ladder! Does she still care about you? Are you kidding me?!"

I saw Vernon's face turn blue, then white, then red.

Ricky was so frightened that he dared not even breathe.

"Mrs. Andrea, calm down," I quickly interjected, as the situation was awkward for everyone. "Regarding Ms. Eleanor coming to Tanum, you should let me explain."

"Explain my ass! You two are colluding. Do you think I don't know? Who exactly do you think you are? Where were you when we were working for Surface Solutions?"

Andrea's face was disdainful, revealing her true colors when the business talk failed. Her face instantly darkened, and she spoke rudely.

I ignored her attitude and demeanor. Still, with a serious tone, I addressed Vernon.

"Mr. Vernon, I hired Eleanor because of her professionalism in handling the situation after Surface Solutions breached the contract. She immediately called me to cancel the agreement and explained the reasons tactfully. 

"Cancellation of cooperation is normal for me. After all, it's business. But honestly, Eleanor handled it very humbly, showing her professional ethics and personal qualities. I highly value her dedication to serving the company that could employ her." 

Vernon nodded slightly, forcing a strained smile.

Looking at the man in front of me, I couldn't help but feel a sense of pity.

"Mr. Vernon, you may not fully understand the situation then," I said.

"Ms. Chloe, please elaborate."

Vernon, after all, was a businessman, so he hid his emotions, maintaining his composure. However, I knew full well how difficult it was for him.

"At the time, we were able to negotiate with Surface Solutions due to a senior veteran at our original Tanum. He had been recommending Surface Solutions to me. During our last negotiation, Ms. Eleanor argued on Surface Solutions' behalf, showcasing their advantages."

Eleanor interrupted me with a light touch. "Ms. Chloe, enough."

I continued without caring. "So, given the large quantity required, I decided to collaborate with Surface Solutions. I considered using their tiles as the primary material for our flagship project.

"Ms. Eleanor said their supply could guarantee quality and timely delivery, citing extensive experience in large-scale projects." Vernon's expression became extremely unpleasant, believing that my statement had hit him where it hurt.

"This was the result I wanted. I wanted a peaceful resolution, so I did not intend to approach business this way today. I even considered doing Eleanor a favor and allowing them to enter our market.However, here she was with guns blazing.Well, let the drama unfold."
