Beyond the Divorce

I hung up the phone, and Carol remarked, "Johnson is truly clever. Back then during Matthew's era in Tanum, he was nothing but a smooth talker, adapting his words to different people. Surprisingly, he has changed a lot now. At least he's not annoying anymore." I chuckled. Carol was spot on. If I hadn't seized the opportunity to put pressure on him back then, I couldn't imagine how Johnson would be today.

"People deserve a chance to change," I sighed, "It's fortunate that he turned over a new leaf."

"That's because you intervened in time. Otherwise, where would he be today?" Carol commented, "Those of us who can be by your side, to be honest, it's our blessing. I'm no exception. If it weren't for you, I might be in a completely different situation now." I glanced at Carol and said, "And I wouldn't have been able to handle things so effectively without your support."

"That's true. It's all about fate. Back then, I was almost bullied to the brink by that devil, Melanie. Just when I was thinking of resigning, I met an angel." Carol playfully looked at me.

Before entering Foswood, I received a call from my mom. As soon as I answered, her laughter filled the line. "Chloe, where are you? When are you coming back?"

"I went to Bourdamun and I'm on my way back. Why are you so happy?" I inquired.

"Haha... our house, the one in our hometown has been sold at the price we set. Alas, my persistence paid off. Mike said the deposit has been paid, and the final payment will be settled once the ownership is changed."

"That's great." I was excited too. "Finally, I can put that worry to rest."

"It's all thanks to Mike."

"Are you two going back?" I asked.

"Your dad said he could handle it himself and he doesn't need me to go. After all, Mike is there."

"Alright, when will Dad go back?"

"Tomorrow. The buyer is in a hurry, and besides, your dad said everything can be handled after the transfer is complete." My mom said, "Come back soon and we'll celebrate today."

"I can't be back anytime soon.

Ivanna wants to meet up today. I

haven't seen her in a month, and I need to check on her. Besides, we've been celebrating a lot lately. Can't it wait for another day?" NôvelDrama.Org: owner of this content.

"Once you're back, it's like you're a ghost, invisible!" My mom complained; but she also

understood my relationship with et

Ivanna, so she reluctantly conceded, "Alright then. Oh, is Atlas going too?"

QUMS

"Yeah! Ivanna wants to play matchmaker for Oliver and Lauren because they are still at odds. Everyone else is doing well, but they still haven't sorted things out. There needs to be a resolution!" I came up with a perfect excuse, "We'll be back early tomorrow, I promise

"Okay, let's wait for your dad to come back before deciding." She hung up the phone.

Carol chuckled, "Looks like you've stirred up a protest from your mom."

"Yeah. I've been spending too little time at home lately," I sighed, "But it's beyond my control."

"Chloe, are we really going to develop the Old Bourdamun?" Carol asked.

"Yes, after the assessment, we'll discuss it. It's still just an idea for now."

"But Noah's eyes lit up when he heard about it. He knows how to seize the opportunity. He had just been appointed, and he meets such a big benefactor right away." Carol exclaimed.

"I don't even know where my luck comes from," I scoffed, leaning back into the seat, "But I have a feeling this might be another new beginning."

"Opportunities don't come twice. If we can turn it into a scenic old city, it would be amazing!"

We chatted excitedly all the way back, arriving in Foswood just before 6 p.m. Ivanna had set our dinner right at that time.

As soon as Carol dropped me off at the hotel, Grayson called, "Chloe, my car broke down. Can you send someone to pick me up? I'm at the intersection near the airport."

I laughed when I heard this. "Wait a moment."

Then I said to Carol, "Go, save the bachelor in distress at the intersection near the airport. Grayson's car broke down."

Upon hearing my words, Carol quickly got back into the car and sped away. I smirked, seeing that she was in such a hurry to leave.
