Beyond the Divorce

After hearing Anson's words, I was startled and looked at Atlas, but refrained from questioning him in front of Anson. Atlas nonchalantly said, "There's no rush. I'm waiting for the right opportunity. I'm thinking of making a trip to Yare first."

Anson's eyes narrowed noticeably. He quickly scanned me, then calmly looked at Atlas. "Are you suggesting that you need to check out the Avila family first?" "The Avila family has involved someone they shouldn't have. I need to pay them a visit," Atlas spoke with depth and meaning.

I understood the implication behind Atlas's words, especially since the Avila family was directly related to me.

And the person they shouldn't have involved was my doppelganger.

"Sounds good." Anson nodded and put down his spoon.

Atlas wiped his mouth with a napkin and said, "Besides, I have some business to discuss with the Avila family."

Anson didn't seem too interested and didn't ask Atlas anything more about it.

I had finished eating a while ago, and anyway, the conversation between the two had made me lose my appetite.

Anson didn't press any further, and Atlas didn't elaborate. But from their expressions, it seemed like an unspoken understanding existed between them.

Just then, my phone rang, and I took it out of my bag. It was Ivanna, which meant that she had probably arrived in Bourdamun.

I gestured that I needed to take the call, then stepped out of the dining room.

As soon as I answered, Ivanna's voice came through.
