Beyond the Divorce

Mia's response was well-founded.

Even the shrewdest individuals would have considered that the Tomlinson family might want to leverage Arthur's influence, which was understandable since they would soon be family. Moreover, the Tomlinson family was already in business, and no one could say much about their true intentions.

So, I was convinced that the focus of this shift was Mia, as she clearly stated that she was more interested in business.

Just then, Arthur signaled something to the waiters, and the banquet began immediately with everyone taking their seats. Atlas came over to escort me, and Mia immediately stood up, "I'll excuse myself now. I need to attend to the guests."

I stood up just as Oliver came over with a smile too.

"Oliver, are you feeling better?" I asked quickly. After all, Oliver was injured because of me.

"I'm much better now. Thank you for your concern." He took Lauren's hand, then asked Atlas, "Shall we go together?" The four of us turned, and Arthur waved us over, indicating our seats. It seemed there was already a plan in place. When everyone was seated, I realized this table was the head table.

Interestingly, Arthur's wife was busy welcoming the female guests and hadn't joined this table.

As soon as the dishes were served, I felt a discomfort in my stomach. Atlas immediately noticed my unease and whispered, "Are you feeling unwell?" Glancing at the others at the table and seeing Lauren looking our way, I said to Atlas, "I'm fine, I'll have Lauren accompany me to the restroom." Lauren had already received my signal, and she stood up, stretching out her hand to me. I quickly got up, and we headed to the restroom together. After splashing cold water on my face, I felt much better.
