Beyond the Divorce by Third Blossom

Eleanor said with a hint of helplessness, "Ms. Chloe is the wife of the CEO of ATL Empire."

Her words shattered Andrea's arrogant demeanor.

I calmly added, "Mrs. Andrea, it's not easy for us to meet today. There are a few things I'd like to say to you. Regardless of your relationship with Liora or what kind of friend you are to her, I can tell you that Avalon Hills has always been Tanum's project."

The atmosphere in the room became incredibly awkward, and Vernon's face had darkened beyond recognition.

For a businessman, this was the most frustrating moment.

"I do not know the specifics of your negotiations when she persuaded you to move into Ardora. But from what I understand, she used you as bait to achieve her goal-to take over Ardora." Unfortunately, you've been used."

"That's impossible..." Andrea's voice trembled.

"She's about to face a trial for trying to take over Ardora. If you're interested, I can notify you to attend as an observer. You can get a closer look at the misdeeds of your good friend," I spoke coldly.

I didn't need to protect the dignity of someone like her.

Eleanor and Vernon's past affair was morally questionable, but I could see that it took two to tango.

"Mrs. Andrea, you may not have realized the real reason for the downfall of Surface Solutions. Reflect on yourself and cut your losses in time. I suggest you tone down your arrogance. Don't follow Liora's path. She has no way to turn back."

"What do you mean?" Andrea continued to struggle against my words.

"Because she will pay the price for her arrogance," I said firmly.

Having delivered this speech, I stood up, picked up my bag, and said, "Mr. Vernon, I'm sorry. Since we can't collaborate and the conversation is unpleasant, let's skip the meal today."
