Beyond the Divorce novel Chapter 1518

Without giving Trinity a chance to argue further, I issued the order for them to leave.

Although Ross seemed reluctant, he stood up with Trinity. Trinity looked at me with some reluctance, her lips moving slightly. Ross glanced at her and shook his head. They left together.

I stood still, watching their departing figures.

To be honest, my feelings were complex. I should have been happy to finally meet relatives from my mother's side, but their visit seemed to come with ulterior motives, which left me feeling unsettled.

After Jim escorted Trinity out and returned to the living room, he respectfully said, "Mrs. Chloe, the guests have left. You should rest early."

I faintly nodded in response.

Back in my room, I quickly freshened up and lay down on the bed. I was tired after today's events.

Ross's face and words kept replaying in my mind. I regretted being too hasty and not asking him about the brooch. Why ahd the Avila family suddenly appeared after so many years of neglect?

But then again, it didn't matter. I didn’t have the brooch, and I couldn’t do anything about it.

Unexpectedly, I saw Hana in my office the next day. She seemed to have come to see me on purpose.

I looked at her calmly, gesturing for her to sit.

She sat in front of my desk with a bright smile. That radiant smile left me feeling a bit dazed. No wonder I had found Hana beautiful when I first saw her. Her smile seemed so familiar.

My sixth sense had been spot on. That intuitive feeling was always right.

“Chloe.”

I smiled, scrutinizing her. I couldn't deny that we looked alike, especially when we smiled.

Hana continued to smile at me. "I'm sorry. I wasn't sure about it before, so I didn't dare claim we were related. But when I saw you for the first time, I knew you had to be my cousin."
