Beyond the Divorce by Third Blossom
Chapter 826 Confrontation

She stared at me, her gaze unwavering.

Then, she let out a disdainful snort. "Looks like things are really tough for you, Chloe. You were dumped, but you're still very devoted to your cheating ex-husband. It's clear that you worry about him. Unfortunately, it didn't matter how clever you were. He still walked away with the assets. Do you really think you're so smart? You're just a wife he cast aside. It's a pity Ardora has nothing to do with you." Liora used the opportunity to belittle me smugly.

I wasn't bothered at all.

I played with the cup on the table and casually responded, "You got one thing right. Ardora has nothing to do with me. But it has even less to do with you. If Ardora's going on the market, I'd discuss it with Melanie or Matthew, not you."

I glanced at Liora with a sly smile and added, "What? Did you really think you could do whatever you wanted after infiltrating them? There's no way that would happen."

"So what? Even if you want to help Matthew turn things around, Melanie can just testify against him. He'll have to stay inside," Liora said fiercely. "Don't forget, Melanie is the primary witness and the legal representative. If she insists, you won't stand a chance."

I just stared at her and withheld the words that were on the tip of my tongue. I couldn't say too much now. Loose lips sink ships. I couldn't risk tipping my hand.

"I just want Matthew to taste the bitterness of betrayal and lose everything for a lover's whims. And this will be all because of his sweetheart's actions. Haha... You should thank me, Chloe. I helped you get revenge for your stolen husband!"

I nonchalantly replied, "There's a saying that would fit this situation perfectly, Liora. 'Those who commit many wrongs will bring about their own destruction.""

"Haha... But they're the ones inside, not me!" She laughed triumphantly, drank the tea in her cup, and poured herself another.

I took a sip of water, calming my emotions.

Then, I casually poured myself another cup of hot water and said, "You've seized someone else's property and shamelessly put it up for sale. You won't be able to get that dirty money."

Liora was not willing to concede and retorted, "Don't you act all righteous, Chloe. Didn't you rely on your looks to replace a backer to get to where you are today? Don't forget how

Matthew played you!"

She couldn't miss a chance to strike at me. Through gritted teeth, she said, "You can reject Ardora, but it will never return to Matthew's hands.

"Don't forget that the issue with Harmony is far from over!" She reminded me vehemently.

I smiled indifferently, neither humble

nor arrogant. I'll sell my looks to

anyone who will willingly buy it. You're right. The matter with Harmony is far from over indeed. But it's not just about Harmony. Nothing will be swept under the rug so easily."

Liora's eyes remained fixed on me, and her hands clenched on the table.

This confrontation needed a bit of edge. She might think she had the upper hand if I was too soft on her.

I glanced at her and said with a

smile on my face, "Maybe you don't know me that well. I'm someone who takes things very seriously. T want to understand something won't let go until it's crystal clear. I won't let anyone try to pin

something on me."

I deliberately emphasized, "I'll give no quarter, especially when it comes to my own safety. For example, when I fell into the sea...'

She immediately interrupted, "What does you falling into the sea have to do with me? That was Stella's doing-"

As the words escaped her lips, she seemed to realize she had let something slip and slammed on the brakes. Her eyes met mine, trying to retract what she said, but it was too late.
