Beyond the Divorce

Chapter 1422 A Private Conversation

"I can assure you that she didn't." I affirmed confidently. "Before we came, Atlas gave me reassurance." "Oh? What did Atlas say?" Lauren asked with great curiosity.

"He said that I'm the true lady of the Pierce family, and I shouldn't worry about anyone else. Of course, he was referring to Grandpa. He was afraid that Grandpa would cause trouble for me, so he comforted me in advance," I explained. "Atlas really spoils you." Lauren sighed in admiration.

"Besides, Celine is focused entirely on Grandpa and Atlas during their discussions. She has no time to bother with me anymore. That's why I say she's nervous.

"But I have to admit that she's good at maintaining her composure, pretending like nothing's wrong. Just thinking about Celine's face, honestly, I really want to slap her."

"Desperation makes people do strange things, don't you know?" Lauren scoffed. "But let me remind you, the more desperate she is, the more cautious you should be. Be careful of her making reckless moves and plotting behind the scenes." "But she won't have the chance to do that," I asserted confidently. "Atlas is sticking to me like glue."

"I'm telling you, be careful with what you eat and drink. Especially anything from Celine's side. It's still better to be cautious." Lauren warned me.

Upon hearing Lauren's words, I burst into laughter. "Have you been watching too many thrillers?"

Lauren retorted, "Just keep what I said in mind. Do you think Celine is a normal person? In my opinion, women in big families like this one need to study thrillers as training manuals. It wouldn't hurt to learn a thing or two about survival." I chuckled and nodded repeatedly. "Got it. I'll catch up on them in my spare time."

"Don't just nod along. Be more careful," she said authoritatively.

"Got it. I understand."
