Beyond the Divorce

When I saw Trinity at the Vanderberg Palace, I could not figure out why she was so composed.

Now, it all made sense.

She never intended for Ivanna to survive.

Trinity was trying to kill her by putting her in such a hostile environment, isolated and abandoned.

Trinity couldn't be bothered to face her at all.

It was a deliberate decision to leave Ivanna there to fend for herself.

Who would have guessed she'd lock her in that hellish iron tank? No one would’ve thought about it if not for Jared.

Jared appeared to comprehend Trinity's ruthlessness.

That was why she seemed so calm last night alongside Stella.

I felt compelled to call Grayson and ask him to monitor Stella.

Jared's phone rang, and he stepped out to take the call.

When he returned, he approached Ivanna's bedside and gently said, "I'll be back soon." Ivanna looked reluctant but nodded.

"Mm." Once Jared left, I asked Ivanna to explain what happened.

She gripped our hands and slowly recounted the entire ordeal.

She said she had no idea what had happened.

She got a call from the hotel's front desk, asking her to come back for something that had been left in their private room.
