Beyond the Divorce

Lauren burst into laughter but immediately clutched her chest, wincing.

I looked at her nervously, "What's wrong? Does it hurt? You shouldn't laugh too hard."

She waved it off. "Anyway, since he's shared his thoughts about divorcing Liora with you and you two have a mutually beneficial agreement, it means he trusts you completely."

I acknowledged that. Atticus was a formidable figure in Foswood's construction and development industry. He occupied the top position, at least for now.

Someone like that wouldn't talk about their private business easily, especially when it was about family and marriage. When he first discussed his marital issues with me, I had some doubts as well.

Lauren continued, "Because he trusts you, he chooses to work with you. It might just be a mutually beneficial cooperation, but you two should still communicate about the information on the shares and resources."

I nodded. "You make a valid point."

"You can already guess that Atticus's desire for a divorce from Liora is related to Melvern. If you reveal this information to him, he should respond accordingly. After all, you two have mutual goals." Lauren's words shone a light on the situation. It seemed I needed to communicate with Atticus.
