Beyond the Divorce

Trinity sensed my concern and refocused her attention. She said, "I've already gotten someone to monitor her. They'll notify me immediately if anything unusual happens." I asked, "Are they reliable?"

"Of course," Trinity assured me, "I'm investigating her background now. That's our priority."

I glanced at Trinity's phone, asking, "Can you send me that photo?"

"Sure thing," she agreed, "I have a lead, Chlo."

"Are you referring to this person?" I raised my gaze and looked at Trinity.

She sought my opinion. "I received a call from Stella yesterday inviting me to meet. I'm stringing her along. I think there's something fishy going on. She's trying to manipulate me, so I want to get close to her. What do you think?"

I understood that Trinity did not want me to be suspicious. After saving the photo, I returned her phone and said, "Do you still doubt our trust?"

"Not at all. I just wanted to hear your thoughts. Stella isn't smart but seems mysterious. I want to dig into her background," Trinity sounded playful, "I won't object if she's playing tricks with me. I'll play along instead."

I reminded her, "That's fine. Still, as you said, there's probably something amiss about her. Be cautious since it was her people who made a move last time and caused you to get hurt. The organization she's with is likely from Jitador."

Trinity snapped her fingers. "That's the plan. I'll probe Stella and see how deep I can get."

I cautioned her, "Be careful with everything. You know how deep the waters run in the organization. Safety first, all right?"

Trinity disdainfully said, "Stella isn't that capable yet. Last time was purely an accident."

However, I had a frightening thought. If that were the case, some of Atlas's investigations might be heading in the wrong direction. I glanced at Trinity and asked, "Do you have any news about Rory? Here, I can give you his photo."

"I already have it," Trinity said, "There's still no news about him. It seems the information about whether or not he's alive may be inaccurate. Otherwise, my people would've found something."

My heart was in my throat as I asked, "What do you mean? Are you saying he "

Trinity said matter-of-factly, "Don't be disheartened. We'll keep looking, okay? There will be traces of him if he's still alive."

I then informed her about the current situation with Matthew's company, "By the way, could you help me spread the news through Liora?"Content bel0ngs to Nôvel(D)r/a/ma.Org.

"Hah! That's interesting. There's a

celebrity gathering the day after

tomorrow join Stella there and give Liora a hard time before dropping a hint. I want her to stew in frustration." Trinity reveled in tiora's misfortune. "Liora is so unpleasant to be around."

I asked, "What do you plan to do?"

She playfully said, "You'll know when the time comes."

I chuckled at that. Although Trinity seemed younger than me, her experiences surpassed mine. Indeed, she was a Huffman. I

thought her approach was wild net

enough. Since she wanted me to enjoy the show, I would happily oblige.

While we talked, my phone rang. When I lowered my head to check, I saw Ivanna's name and quickly answered, "What's up?" "Chlo, where are you?" Her tone sounded odd.

I glanced at Trinty and replied, "I'm out. Did something happen?"

"Come to the police station if you're free." Ivanna sounded a little irritated.

I was surprised, asking, "What are you doing there?"

"I need you to bail me out," Ivanna said, losing her patience.

I bolted upright from the sofa. "What happened?! How'd you end up needing bail?!"

"Oh, you'll find out once you're here. Hurry to the station on Ladbroke Road." Ivanna hung up immediately after.

I looked at the smug Trinity. I knew

е

she had guessed who the caller was. Still, I didn't tell her that it was

Ivanna. "Um, I have to leave for a bit. It's an urgent matter."

Trinity said disdainfully, "Ha! Your friend is something else, huh?"

I didn't appreciate her mocking tone. "Don't gloat, Trinity. Everyone has their moments. All right, I'm off."

I then rushed out of Vanderberg Palace and headed straight to Ladbroke Road.
