Beyond the Divorce novel Chapter 322

Chapter 322 The Show Has Just Begun

Lauren was aware of the situation and offered to accompany me, but I declined. I didn’t want her to get

involved.

I suspected she had ulterior motives for wanting to be there, but I told her to let it go. There was no need for her to get mixed up in this mess.

Lauren relented, so I brought Carol, who used to work at Tanum Corporation. I had my reasons for bringing her, and I didn’t have to explain them. Carol was perfectly capable of handling the situation on

her own.

The party for the baby took place at La Dolce Vita. The venue was packed, and Matthew stood at the entrance, welcoming guests from all directions.

When Johnson brought my car to the entrance, Matthew rushed down the steps and opened the car door.

He seemed a little unhappy when asked. “Chlo… where’s my little girl?”

I calmly said, “Everyone already knows you have a son and a daughter.”

He forced a smile and said, “Well, you better come in!”

Carol quickly stood by my side and handed two cash envelopes to Matthew.

I asked Carol in a hushed tone, “When did you prepare these?”

“Well, I couldn’t show up empty-handed, could I?” Carol smirked mischievously.

I teased her, “You’re so generous! But you’ve just wasted your money.”

Carol just grinned devilishly without replying.

Many people stared at us as we entered the hall, surprised I was there. Their looks felt like a slap in the face. Luckily, Myra saw us and waved us over, making things less awkward.

She took my hand and whispered, ‘Chlo, I didn’t expect you to come. You’ve got guts!”

Ismiled, “Just a token gesture.”
