Beyond the Divorce by Third Blossom

Chapter 489 A Sudden Confrontation Upon hearing my reminder, she seemed to think I was trying to oppress her and instantly became furious, raising her voice several notches.

"Chloe, don't think that just because you rely on Atlas's connections to come here today, you feel like your worth has doubled. What are you? An outsider trying to establish yourself in Foswood? You really have

Even Matthew could easily shoo you away with a kick. Do you really think you can come and go as you please, you despicable wretch!" Liora's words were extremely cutting, but I paid them no mind. I was wel aware of her character and had seen

enough of her. There was no need to stoop to her level; I couldn't afford to lose my dignity here. : I I continued to speak softly, "I have always known how to put myself in the right place. It's true I'm an outsider, but I started my business with my own wisdom, aboveboard and honest. I would expect you to have a bit of decorum. At least, show some respect for Atticus.

let go of her hand and quickly said to the old

scene, and don't spoil everyone's mood. Let's also give Atticus some respect." Bella whispered behind her,
