Beyond the Divorce by Third Blossom

The incident happened because of an unusual disturbance.

When our engagement ceremony ended, Archie started to negotiate with Atlas over me, which made all my family members chuckle. But in the midst of this celebratory atmosphere, a group of individuals in a corner began discreetly discussing my somewhat controversial past.

The woman who had initiated the confrontation pointed at Lauren arrogantly and verbally attacked her. "Who do you think you are? How dare you interfere in my affairs? Take a good look at yourself.
