Beyond the Divorce

Chapter 997 A Purposeful Meeting

When I entered the private room Michelle mentioned, I realized they were already there. But it wasn't just her and her boyfriend. There were two men who looked like they were in their forties or fifties, and both of them looked pretty sleazy.

Michelle noticed me coming in and immediately stood up, approaching me with a smile. She couldn't help but glance at the door with a hint of dissatisfaction. She remarked, "Didn't Atlas say he'd come with you, Chloe? Why are you here by yourself?"

I looked at her disdainfully. I had no intention of playing along with her charade. "When did I say Atlas would come with me?"

She didn't expect me to refute her and discreetly squeezed my arm. I reacted as if stung by a scorpion, shaking off her hand and glaring at her. "What are you doing? That hurts!"

She quickly laughed it off. "You're becoming more hot-tempered, Chloe. You weren't like this when we lived in the dorm back then."

I didn't bother to reply and walked over to the table, taking a seat.

Michelle hurriedly followed behind me. When she reached the table, she introduced the two men to me.
