Beyond the Divorce by Third Blossom
Chapter 874 A Blind Worshipper

Ryan chuckled even more triumphantly. "The good news is that the Hartz Group in the capital received a massive development project, three times the size of Bourdamun." Upon hearing this, I was completely fixed in my chair.

Three times the size? In the capital? This seemed a bit exaggerated, didn't it?

"So, we need to go to the capital. Grayson has already made some preliminary arrangements. I just received the good news. It looks like it's time for Hartz Group and Tanum to merge," he said with enthusiasm.

That got me lost in thought. When I initially registered Hartz Group, it was purely to win the divorce lawsuit against Matthew.

In reality, the results had little impact, so I had completely overlooked the situation at Hartz Group in the capital.

I had delegated management of Hartz Group to Grayson, and I had entrusted Ryan with many major decisions. Although Ryan would seek my final approval on major issues, they had already taken care of everything.

After reporting it to me, I would just sign it.

Unexpectedly, Hartz Group had taken root in the capital. I knew that this had something to do with Atlas.

I didn't have much influence in the circles of the capital, and Hartz Group being able to secure such a massive project wasn't just a coincidence. There was probably more to the story.

In that case, a merger should be reconsidered.

I said, "I'll go to the capital too. I've been wanting to go for a while, but it keeps getting delayed. It seems this time I must go. Let's not rush into the merger. We can discuss that later." I said this to allow myself to discuss my thoughts with Atlas later that night.

Ryan asked, "Can you? What about Matthew's situation?"

"It's okay. Adrian still needs some procedures to apply for the trial. It's not too late to deal with both matters in the evening," I decisively said.

"Alright, I'll have Carol book the flight tickets."

"Go ahead," I said confidently.

Ryan picked up the phone and called Carol, asking her to book two flight tickets to the capital.

Back in my office, Carol walked in. "Ms. Chloe, did you see the news?"

I looked at her in confusion. "What news?"

Carol looked somewhat surprised. "It

seems you don't know. You should check the news quickly. There's something about the arrest of Melanie, and it has exposed many secrets of the Murphy family."

She walked to my desk, turned on the large screen in the office, and switched to the local news channel.

Sure enough, they were currently broadcasting live scenes of the police arresting Melanie.

However, the focation reported was empty. Just by looking at the

number of reporters on the scene, t was clear that Atlas was using the media to apply additional pressure. He wanted to capitalize on the public outrage.

I grabbed my phone and checked the trending topics.

Various gossips had already started

trending, eager to spill the bea

the

Murphy family's secrets.

I flood of information

I felt a sudden joy. It seemed Atlas's plan was beginning to unfold. He was using Melanie as a pawn to stir up the situation.

Carol looked at the screen and said, "Do you think Melanie is cunning? She's creating such a spectacle. It's quite impressive. I admire her."

"What do you admire her for? Getting famous or going to jail? There's a price to pay in being a blind worshipper," I criticized.

Carol chuckled. "I admire her ability to act. She's fully committed, leaving herself no way out."

"She encountered a saint like Liora," I sarcastically said.

We both laughed.

"What time did you book the flight for tomorrow?"

"10:15 a.m., and we'll land in time for lunch," Carol answered crisply. "I've already informed Grayson to pick us up on time."

I thought for a moment and called Atlas to discuss my plans for tomorrow.
