Beyond the Divorce

Lauren's thoughts mirrored mine. Under normal circumstances, things wouldn't be so clear-cut. Besides, we've already probed deep into this and found that Melvern's finances were robust.

"Arthur is truly a bridge." I sighed softly. "I don't believe everything is crystal clear."

Lauren remarked, "The Morgan family's threshold isn't one that just anyone can cross. Seeing him here today indicates that he already has a direction in mind.

"Since the beginning of the project in Rivendell, Atticus has been determined to secure it. It's his trap for Melvern." "Let's not forget that it all passes through Melvern regardless of who sets the trap. And now, with Lance back..."

I nodded knowingly. "Sure."
