Beyond the Divorce

I remained silent and stared at Madison calmly.

When she saw that I didn't respond, Madison grew even more arrogant. "Do you really think you've become a socialite just because you're running a company and have won a few projects?"

Her imposing demeanor carried a certain air of authority.

"Just wearing a branded dress doesn't make you sophisticated. Someone who's both an ex-wife and a mistress should be more cautious. I'd advise people like that to control themselves and stay low-key," Madison said, looking quite pleased with herself. After her remark, I couldn't help glancing at her expensive attire.

To my surprise, it was luxurious from head to toe.

When I still didn't respond, she shook her head and added, "That might help them not end up like Harmony one day, manipulated, deceived, and ruined."

One of the sycophants beside her chimed in when she saw my continued silence. "Exactly. Some people shouldn't have any grand illusions. In Foswood, there are many legitimate socialites, so they need to carefully assess where they really stand."

Madison's words were provocative, and the socialites who were with her laughed disdainfully, their eyes filled with contempt.

I scanned Madison coldly. "Why don't you be more specific, Ms. Madison? What exactly do I have illusions about? And do you know who manipulated and ruined Harmony? If you're so well-informed, you might want to share that with us. The cops are investigating the mastermind behind it all, so if you withhold any information, you might become an accomplice."

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Madison's face turned pale, and she glared at me angrily.

I noticed that Liora, who was not far away, had also turned pale. I took another sip of my wine and said, "Am I talking nonsense? You were the one who was just talking about this. Why don't you be clear and tell everyone who manipulated Harmony? Who's the one who wants to deal with me? Don't beat around the bush. You should tell everyone what you're really talking about. You've already made quite an entrance anyway."

You shouldn't take things out of context. Everyone knows what you're like. Harmony wouldn't have suffered if it weren't for you. If she hadn't met you, how could she have been manipulated and ended up in such a tragic situation?"
