Beyond the Divorce novel Chapter 54

Chapter 54 The Big Showdown I couldn’t wait to get to the office in the morning.

I called Johnson and asked for detailed information about Lauren.

I picked up on the hidden meaning behind his words and learned that Lauren had her sights on Matthew.

Considering what I witnessed between them the other day, I remembered Matthew looking slightly shifty.

After all, once a man stole a kiss, he would likely crave more.

My heart stung again.

I once thought overcoming difficulties would solidify our love.

I never expected Matthew not to be my soulmate.

Still, I didn’t have time for sorrow and had to take matters into my own hands to save myself.

The information Ivanna uncovered shocked me even more.

Indeed, all three Murphys had accounts.

Melanie owned properties and had a construction and renovation company registered with a capital of 1.5 million dollars.

Though the company didn’t have many projects, its cash flow was substantial.

It was clear where the money was coming from.

With a registration amounting to 1.5 million, it was evident that Matthew had been profiting over the years.

The deposits under Henry and Grace’s names even exceeded seven figures.

I burst into laughter when I saw the data.

Matthew was ruthless and calculating.

It was an all–out family affair.

All their accounts were full except for mine, the legally wedded spouse.

His intentions were apparent to everyone else, while I remained oblivious.

A chill ran down my spine because he had deceived me so mercilessly.

Even if I forgave him, I had lost my youth, marriage, and deep affection for him.

I clenched my teeth as I slammed the table.

Since I couldn’t salvage our marriage, I would have to fill the void with material possessions.

Before seeing this information, I was conflicted about keeping a complete family for my daughter.

I couldn’t bear the fact that my family was collapsing before me.

I clung to that warmth.
