Beyond the Divorce

Even I was surprised by what I said. I must admit, I can be surprisingly kind. I couldn't help but think that Ivanna would probably be disappointed in me if she were by my side right now. When Matthew heard me, a glimmer of hope seemed to gleam in his eyes. He got up and sat at my desk.

With his eyes fixed on me, he urgently said, "Only you can help me, Chloe. Pull some strings, resolve the issues in Muborough, and everything will fall into place."

He fervently suggested some ideas to me; his plan was clearly well thought out.

"Can't you provide the evidence? Last time, you got someone from Solaris to produce proof, right? As long as you can verify that Muborough's documents are in order, Ardora will be fine."

I suddenly felt a sense of irony. The proof I obtained in Solaris?

If Melanie hadn't teamed up with Liora to trip me up last time, I wouldn't have been involved in a lawsuit.

Now, Matthew continued animatedly, "Mel is still young, and she made a mistake. It couldn't have been her. This is all Liora. She wants to take over my company, so she's using the Muborough project as an excuse. Even if there was some issue with the materials, this was definitely not Mel's idea. She doesn't have the guts to do that. You just need to..."

"Are you asking me to clear Melanie's name?" I looked at Matthew nonchalantly.

He paused, seeming to realize he had made a mistake. Mentioning Melanie in front of me was a big no-no!
