Beyond the Divorce novel Chapter 67

Chapter 67 Drifting Away +15 BONUS As expected, Matthew didn’t return that night.

Meanwhile, I tossed and turned, unable to sleep.

The following morning, Ivanna called with some news.

She told me that Melanie had caught Matthew and Lauren in the act.

I felt conflicted, unable to decide whether to feel delighted or sad.

Despite my plans going smoothly, I couldn’t find joy.

After washing up and getting dressed, I headed to the office.

I only returned to my senses when I realized Matthew was not at the company building.

Soon after, I realized a painful truth.

Matthew had already slipped away, even if I hadn’t set him up.

However, I reminded myself not to give up on my revenge.

I instructed Johnson to call and inform Matthew to come to work, saying there was a rumor about ATL Empire only choosing two companies for the project.

I also wanted Matthew to think Tanum Corporation and another company were out of the picture.

Since I knew Matthew’s ambitions, I was confident he wanted to secure the collaboration with ATL Empire.

Simultaneously, pictures started circulating on the internet.

The headlines read, “CEO and An Unknown Woman Caught Spending the Night in a Hotel–Woman Hospitalized From Brawl.” Although the pictures were slightly blurry, they showed an intimate scene and the following fight.

From the pictures, I knew Melanie had played her role well and caused quite a scene.

Meanwhile, reporters had already gathered at the Galar Tower lobby.

Matthew appeared at the office an hour later, trying to slip in unnoticed.

Then, I timed it perfectly and stormed into his office while clutching my phone.

When I entered, I saw Matthew dejectedly sitting on the couch with Johnson beside him.

I guessed Jonson had already played his part in the act.

When Matthew saw me burst into his office, he stood up and stammered, “H–Honey, I…” I only noticed a few bloody scratches on his face when I looked at him.

I had never seen him so pathetic before Matthew, do you have something to tell me?” I stared at him.
