Beyond the Divorce

The incident happened because of an unusual disturbance.

When our engagement ceremony ended, Archie started to negotiate with Atlas over me, which made all my family members chuckle. But in the midst of this celebratory atmosphere, a group of individuals in a corner began discreetly discussing my somewhat controversial past.

These discussions reached the ears of Lauren, and due to the offensive nature of the remarks, it quickly escalated into a heated confrontation, which resulted in Lauren getting slapped.

The woman who had initiated the confrontation pointed at Lauren arrogantly and verbally attacked her. "Who do you think you are? How dare you interfere in my affairs? Take a good look at yourself. You're nothing more than an accessory. But here you are, speaking up in an upscale setting. Do you still think you're a socialite? How funny! Birds of a feather really do flock together. You're both equally disgusting."

Her extremely harsh words made Lauren cover her face. She tried to maintain her composure even as her face turned pale.

In response to this, Ivanna rushed to her side, glaring at the woman responsible for the attack. "Shut up! Say that again, and I'll tear you apart."

"I can say it as many times as I want. She's just a rag doll nobody wants anymore! Looks like she really thinks that highly of herself, huh? We were just having a conversation, and she dared interrupt us." The woman continued her audacious behavior, seemingly intent on causing a scene. Her voice grew sharper with every word.
