Beyond the Divorce novel Chapter 1247

Tristan immediately shielded me, facing off against the intruders.

This sudden turn of events made me nervous. I stared in astonishment at the menacing group before me, led by the same man I'd seen confronting Cane earlier in the day.

His fair complexion contrasted sharply with the intense malice in his eyes. Peering past Tristan, he locked eyes with me while grinning wickedly.

Tristan stood firmly in front of me, ready for combat.

The old man unexpectedly rose in fury when he saw Millard. He positioned himself in front of Tristan, glaring angrily at the intruders and shouting at them, clearly agitated.

The leader, faced with this sudden defiance, glared back. His smile was sinister, sending shivers down my spine.

He cursed under his breath.

I whispered to Tristan, "They're Navi’s men."

Tristan remained calm, standing steady in front of me. "Don't worry, Mrs. Chloe. Navi seems to have many tricks up his sleeve. This guy's just a vicious mutt."

His words made me realize Tristan was right. Navi was cunning and was clearly prepared for any trickery from Atlas.

The man in front of us was just Navi's attack dog. They realized they'd been deceived when they found that the cars were empty.

The leader glanced at us both, raising his eyebrows provocatively.

I couldn't help but feel nervous, not about being caught by Navi, but for Atlas's safety. If Navi was prepared, would it be dangerous for Atlas to return to the base?

Before I could gather my thoughts, an unexpected turn of events unfolded.
