Beyond the Divorce by Third Blossom

Lauren burst into laughter but immediately clutched her chest, wincing.

I looked at her nervously, "What's wrong? Does it hurt? You shouldn't laugh too hard."

Lauren continued, "Because he trusts you, he chooses to work with you. It might just be a mutually beneficial cooperation, but you two should still communicate about the information on the shares and resources."

I nodded. "You make a valid point."

"You can already guess that Atticus's desire for a divorce from Liora is related to Melvern. If you reveal this information to him, he should respond accordingly. After all, you two have mutual goals." Lauren's words shone a light on the situation. It seemed I needed to communicate with Atticus.
