Beyond the Divorce novel Chapter 453

When I got to Ardora Construction, I took a moment to compose myself, neatly arranging the documents on Grace.

With everything in hand, I stepped out of the car and walked straight in.

This was my second time here.

The first was to request my daughter's school transfer, which caused quite a commotion throughout the building.

Who knew what awaited me this time? Whenever I showed up, things were bound to get lively.

Whenever I met Melanie, I was in for another fierce battle.

I couldn't imagine what family situation had pushed Grace to develop liver cancer.It must have been quite a mess.

If it were my mother, I'd demand justice.It was truly too much.

Abby had ruined her life.

When I got to Matthew’s office, I asked his secretary if he was in.

She had no idea who I was.

I knocked on the door several times and said, "No, but it’s urgent!"

I could tell he was in by the secretary's tone.

The secretary quickly stood by the door.

"Please wait a moment, miss.May I have your name?"

"Chloe Hartz!"

Before the young secretary could check, the door swung open.

Melanie stepped out.

When she saw me, she crossed her arms and blocked the doorway.

"Oh! Look who it is! I didn't expect—"
