Beyond the Divorce by Third Blossom
Chapter 808 Dirty Tricks

Melvern looked at me delightedly. "Yes, Ms. Chloe?"

I stood up, picked up the document bag he had brought, and handed it to him. "You forgot this, Mr. Melvern."

"I don't need that. Those are copies. You can keep them. If you need anything, please let me know." Melvern smiled at me.

"It's fine. I'll just contact you if I need something."

"Alright then." Melvern took the document bag helplessly. "I'll take my leave now."

He then walked decisively toward the exit, and I saw him to the door, instructing Carol to escort him out.

Carol nodded and followed Melvern while I returned to my office.

Arnold looked at me and asked, "What did he come here to discuss?"

"Ardora's equity. He wanted to transfer the shares to me, but I declined," I said casually. "I really don't like him. He left thanks to you."

As I finished speaking, Carol knocked on the door and walked in holding a familiar document bag.

"Mr. Melvern just gave this to me again, Chloe. He said you should keep it. He thinks you might have second thoughts about it someday." Carol looked a little nervous as she spoke to me. "He handed it to me just as the elevator doors closed, and he already left by the time I could react."

I nodded. "Just leave it there. Looks like he deliberately left it here. It's not your fault."

Carol visibly relaxed and placed the document bag on my desk.

She turned around and asked, "Would you like a cup of coffee, Mr. Arnold?"

"Sure." Arnold nodded at her. They had known each other for a while now, and Arnold was generally friendly with everyone.

Oh. Except for Melvern, of course. I had never seen him being so mean with his words before.

When Carol left, Arnold warned seriously, "You have to be careful when dealing with Melvern. What said just now wasn't a joke. He unscrupulous, and I deliberately said

ét

all that in front of him to make sure

he doesn't go too far."

"It looks like you're very familiar with him," I said as I looked at him. I had a good impression of this brother who was the same age as me, but I couldn't help but wish he were my elder brother.

"Too familiar. After all, the Sunny

family was one of the four major families in Foswood for a while. Melvern is two years older than me, but we've known each other since we were children. He looks

harmless, but he plays dirty tricks,"

Arnold described Mely tricks,"

accurately.

"That's why my brother and I don't like him. Plus, our dad is gaining more influence, so he doesn't dare mess with us anymore," Arnold explained.

"Was the Sunny family influential at that time?" I asked. "What kind of business did they have in Foswood?"

"They were the first family to open a big hotel in Foswood, and they're also in the catering industry. They basically have a monopoly," Arnold said.

"They were pretty powerful, weren't they? To have a hotel back then... No wonder the Sunny family became one of the four major families." I couldn't help but sigh. Carol brought in two cups of coffee, placed them in front of us, and quietly left the room.

"Earl wasn't a simple man," Arnold said. "Melvern isn't like his father. He never plays by the rules, and in his eyes, there's no such thing as a true friend."

Arnold took a sip of coffee and continued, "He gave the people behind him a hard time back then, especially the second-generation nouveau riche. But his elder brother is an upright man. The brothers are totally different."

"Do you know the real reason why the Sunny family suddenly emigrated back then?" I asked Arnold curiously.

Arnold instantly looked at me. "You really want to know?"

I nodded earnestly. "Yes. I always feel like everyone avoids this question, which makes it all very mysterious. So I've become even more curious about this."
