Beyond the Divorce by Third Blossom
Chapter 588 You Need to Help Me

I thought for a moment and didn't refuse. Instead, I asked, "Where should we meet?"

Matthew seemed surprised that I had agreed so quickly and eagerly provided the location.

I headed straight to the location he mentioned, which turned out to be a club.

As a precaution, I called Johnson again in the car to check on the current situation with Matthew.

Since I had been busy with matters in Bourdamun, I hadn't had time to pay attention to them these past few days.

As I suspected, Matthew's call was related to the withdrawal of funds between him and Liora.

Sure enough, Johnson informed me that the situation was still deadlocked. No one was willing to back down. Strangely, Liora had not signed a contract for Avalon Hills despite not moving forward with the withdrawal of funds.

He said that he had followed my advice and was working on stabilizing other projects for Matthew.

After ending the call with Johnson, I felt more confident. It seemed that Atticus's prediction was correct. Liora wanted to negotiate with Matthew, which was why she hadn't signed the contract for Avalon Hills.

I thought it would be hard for Liora to get this contract if Ardora Construction wouldn't support her. If I hadn't already had a comprehensive plan in place, I would have taken back Avalon Hills at this crucial juncture and let Liora face her downfall.

With that thought in mind, I immediately called Ryan, both to inform him that I was dealing with something outside and to prepare him for this. If Liora didn't sign the contract quickly, we would be able to pressure her. I believed she wouldn't be able to hold out for much longer by then.

I could even help Matthew with this if it was necessary.

Ryan quickly nodded and said, "Got it."

Matthew was already waiting at the club. When he saw me enter, he stood up quickly. "That was fast, Chlo. Were you nearby?"

I sat down and responded nonchalantly, "Yeah, I just came from the hospital. I went to see Trinity."

When he heard about Trinity, he casually asked, "By the way, I heard she was injured because of you. Is it serious?"

I glanced at him and sneered at his question. Whether I was hurt or not had no significance to him anymore. If he hadn't wanted to meet me today, he probably wouldn't have cared at all.

With a skeptical smile, I responded, "Of course it's serious! But she's much better now. So, what brings you here?"

As I expected, he did not probe any further. He forced a grin and said, "Well, there's something I need to tell you."

I reached for the bell, summoning

the waiter to order a few of my

favorite dishes. I needed to eat

something quickly and seize a

moment to rest back at the offnet

later A sleepless night had left my head heavy.

"Go on, I'm listening," I said, massaging my temples.

Leaning in, Matthew said, "Chlo, can you help me figure out a way to secure the contract for Phase Two of Avalon Hills?"

"Phase Two?" I glanced at him questioningly. "Haven't you secured that?"

He chuckled awkwardly, "Well, not exactly. It's still pending. What I mean is, can you think of something to help me acquire it directly without having to go through Liora?"

His request caught me off guard. I looked at him, seeking clarification. "Are you asking me to assist you in directly obtaining the contract for Phase Two without involving Liora?"

He nodded eagerly.

"Don't overestimate me," I replied self-deprecatingly.

He met my gaze with a hint of embarrassment. "I know you can do it. If it weren't for the Bourdamun project, you wouldn't have let go of Avalon Hills, right?"
