Beyond the Divorce

Aidan, the assistant, told me that Martin had two sons and a daughter. The latter had sent his younger son, Corey, abroad for education while Kimberly, his daughter, was also overseas. However, she was reckless and unruly. Among Martin's three children, his second son was a medical doctor, whom Nelson was proud of.

Aidan was hesitant when discussing things concerning Nelson. However, the former let down his guard and began gossiping with me when he noticed my curious and friendly attitude.

"Although Mr. Nelson has contributed to Bourdamun, his son caused quite a stir. Martin's actions angered everyone, but they dared not speak up. Despite Bourdamun not being as prosperous, the Terrells were not short on money."

Aidan seemed resentful as he continued, "We thought we could have a fresh start with Mr. Nelson's retirement. However, he has constantly meddled and suppressed Noah since passing the torch."

I asked, "Didn't anyone complain about Nelson?"

"No one dared to. Mr. Nelson would know about it before anyone could even say anything," Aidan described it dramatically, which showed it was the truth.

I was shocked, not expecting things to run so deep. Meanwhile, Jeremiah's unkempt and sweaty appearance came to mind. No wonder he was so arrogant.

"Whenever Bourdamun's residents finally had hope, Mr. Nelson would interfere. Everyone cursed him privately. They knew they couldn't do anything as long as Mr. Nelson was still alive. He always pressured whoever came to lead us into quitting."

I couldn't help but smile at Aidan's words. I understood his helplessness.
