Beyond the Divorce

No one answered my question, and nobody seemed to know. This left me somewhat disappointed.

Yvette from our dormitory was the one who broke the silence, saying, "Since we left, she went back to her hometown. If you don't have her contact information, the rest of us won't have it either. We also lost contact with Judy from our dormitory. They probably aren't in Foswood."

A guy named Theo added, "I heard Beatrice has her own business, so she might have gone back to manage her own company."

She looked at me with a hint of skepticism in her eyes, as if she had understood the underlying meaning of my words.

Her face turned even paler. Looking at me, she murmured, "N-No way..."
