Beyond the Divorce by Third Blossom
Chapter 860 She's Just Bait

When she heard my question, Myra fell silent for a moment. I could tell that she must be feeling a little sad.

After a brief pause, she sighed. "Well... you're right. But still, he has family. He's a treasure, and no matter how good he is with me, it's not the same as living with his own family. Blood is thicker than water, after all." I could hear the helplessness in her voice.

"That's right. Talk about it with Johnson and consider having a second child soon maybe," I said softly, "Don't worry; your burden will only get lighter, and you'll do well with Johnson in the future."

I intentionally hinted at something with my words. Since Johnson had turned over a new leaf and passed the test of time, I believed he was someone worth trusting. It was clear that he could handle things on his own, especially after Matthew's incident. He had been Matthew's right hand, but he was no longer as important after Melanie joined the company.

I had plans for his future.

I was confident that Myra could pick up on the implications in my words.

After I hung up, Atlas looked at me tenderly and asked, "Thinking about something again?"

"Can you let me have some secrets?" I looked at him in distress.

He laughed even more triumphantly. "You say you don't want Ardora, but I see you've already planned everything out."

I said, helplessly, "It's better than having it fall into someone else's hands. After all, that was my initial investment. I have no reason to give it up."

"Have you thought about how Matthew will face the future if he's acquitted?" Atlas asked me seriously.

I glanced at him and said sincerely, "I don't need to think about that since he's not important to me anymore. I just want his case to end quickly so we can put an end to this trouble." Atlas was moved and rubbed my head affectionately.

"I have no reason to get involved with the Murphys. I've done what I can, and it's not fair to you that I keep dealing with this messy affair. Trust me, I know what's important."

Atlas smiled contentedly. "I don't

doubt that at all, my darling. You don't have to go out of your way

me. As long as you're happy het

enough for me."

"Speaking of which, I need to replace my father now that this business with Matthew is ending," I said softly.

The issue of my father had been weighing heavily on my heart.

"Oh, Arnold left today! I forgot to see him off." I suddenly remembered that Arnold was leaving for Monora today.

Atlas's phone rang just as he was

about to say something. I saw him pick up without hesitation, andd

vaguely heard the person on the line

say Keegan's name. Conten

"Good. Release the news." Atlas's expression was calculating, which indicated that it must be good news.

After hanging up, he told me, "Keegan has been arrested."

"What? When did this happen?" I was startled at this big news.

"He was caught at the airport, attempting to flee." Atlas fed me a piece of sea cucumber as he explained.

"You guessed he would try to escape, didn't you?" I said as I chewed on the sea cucumber and looked at Atlas's handsome face "Oh well, Liora probably didn't think that her family would be in prison now in exchange for Melanie's freedom. By the way, do you know where Melanie is?"

"Yeah. The cops know too, but she's just bait," Atlas said casually.

As Atlas spoke, my mind raced. Melanie was just bait?

I suddenly thought of something and looked at him. His eyes gleamed with satisfaction, as if he had carefully calculated everything.

This strengthened my suspicions.

I leaned toward him and asked him something.
