Beyond the Divorce novel Chapter 151

Chapter 151 An Unreachable Star

I then met with all my employees and told them the farce was over.

As for Matthew, I was sure he and Echelon Group were too busy to target me. To be safe, I called Lauren and asked her to look into the company. I needed precautions to know how to act in the future.

Lauren impressed me with her ability to gather information. She was good to me, and I trusted her.

However, I was still reeling from last night’s shock. Although Carol was all smiles, I felt troubled.

I called Ivanna that afternoon and asked when she could get off work. She knew something was up and

agreed to meet up.

I got some beer after work and met her by the river. When she arrived, she exclaimed, “What a lovely

spot!”

She then went to her car and changed into long pants. We drank while sitting on the riverbank. Being my

best friend, Ivanna knew I was troubled.

She asked me about Atlas. Seeing that I was silent, she admitted, “I don’t think you’re right for each other.

You live in different worlds, and even if you try to make it work, it will take a toll on you. You’re both too

different, Chlo.”

I knew it all along, but hearing it aloud by a third person made me feel worse. Though I couldn’t deny that

he was like a bright star in the sky, we did share something.

Ivanna asked drunkenly, “Do you know why Ryan returned?”

“He came back for you!” she said.

Ivanna noticed my silence and turned her gaze to those tall buildings. “He was into you, but you ended up

with that asshole. That was why he left the country!” Ivanna seemed indignant on Ryan’s behalf.
