Beyond the Divorce

Arnold was dismissive of my skepticism.

"The affair between that woman and Melvern isn't as big a feud as it seems. Just because he stole his wife? Nonsense. Melvern sees Liora as nothing more than a piece of clothing." Arnold seemed quite repulsed.

"Why is that? Atticus doesn't seem afraid of Melvern. But from what I see, there's a possibility that Atticus is right about Melvern coming back for revenge. Could it be because of this report from back then?" I questioned.

I had to admit that fact. Arnold looked at me calmly, then continued, "Atticus's greatest resentment was Liora's family forcing him into marrying her."

"Forced?" I questioned this statement. "Why?"

Arnold chuckled. "It's hard to believe that a distinguished CEO like Atticus was 'forced' to marry Liora, right?"

I nodded. "Yeah!"

"That's now. At that time, Atticus was just a small contractor, barely making a name for himself."
