Beyond the Divorce

"You arrived a bit late. Ms. Liora and I chatted for quite a while," I casually added, throwing more fuel to the fire.

Stella's eyes glanced at Liora. Although she maintained a smile, a shadow clouded her eyes.

Moreover, I noticed that Liora seemed off since the arrival of Trinity and Stella. Her attention wasn't on us. Instead, she briefly glanced at Vicky, who had been following her. Soon after, Vicky discreetly left our group.

I added, "How is the matter in Muborough handled? Putting Matthew in prison involves many projects, and it's not wise. There are mixed reactions about it—some happy, some not so much."

My words were direct, implying that Liora may have done more harm than good by implicating Matthew. Celine was deeply involved in the Muborough projects, and the current situation was undoubtedly distressing her.

This incident, after all, was instigated by Liora.

Even though I spoke plainly, Liora didn't catch on, showing that her attention was elsewhere.

Stella couldn't ignore the hidden meaning of my words.

With an indifferent glance at Liora, she calmly said, "There should be an explanation."

"Yes, indeed. Muborough isn't the only one affected, but if it turns into a hands-off project and the parties involved end up in trouble..." I hinted, "Everyone might have to fend for themselves in the face of a crisis."

Of course, Ivanna wouldn't miss this chance, saying slyly, "Certain people are experts at scheming others. You shouldn't worry about trivial matters like this. Just be careful not to get hit by another truck."
