Beyond the Divorce novel Chapter 181

Chapter 181 Forced to Drink With Them

Everyone turned to me. Carol got up, took my glass, and held me gently to my seat. “Let me do it, Ms.

Chloe.”

With a smile, she raised my glass. “Hey, everyone, I’m Carol, Ms. Chloe’s assistant. Please let me propose a toast to all of you for everything you’ve done for Tanum Corporation! Cheers!”

She downed the wine. Carol then refilled her glass and approached Keegan with a smile. “Mr. Matthew is

right. We should toast to you, Mr. Keegan. It’s an honor to meet you today.”

“However,” she continued, “Ms. Chloe hasn’t been feeling well. As you all know, she’s been hospitalized. multiple times, and her doctors advised against alcohol. So, allow me to propose a toast on her behalf.”

I was surprised at how well Carol had handled this. I was sure anyone could tell she implied that Matthew

was being a jerk

Given his experience, Keegan must have realized that Carol was trying to help me.

He gave me a longing look. Although he was upset, he knew better than to act rudely now. “You’re lucky to

have an employee who cares about you so much, Chloe.”

“Cheers!” Keegan clinked glasses with Carol and sipped his wine while looking at me.

It was time for him to back off, but Matthew was too eager to impress Keegan. He slammed his glass

down on the table.
