Beyond the Divorce

I immediately felt flustered. It seemed like the more I feared, the more it came true. This was what I was worried about the most, and now, it happened.

On the plane, Atlas reassured me repeatedly, saying he would have Dylan investigate.

We landed in Foswood at 7 p.m. I quickly called Lauren.

She said she was waiting for us at the Vanderberg Palace.

Atlas's driver came to pick us up, and the car went straight to the tarmac, aiming to avoid external disturbances as much as possible. Everything was done secretly, just like when we left.

Atlas called Dylan. Dylan said they had already dispatched people to investigate and
