Beyond the Divorce novel Chapter 1441

I pretended to be cheerful as I approached, but the old woman stopped me before I could reach her rocking chair.

"Girl, I'm not a Cross!" Her tone was sharp. "Atlas, where did you find such a rash girl?"

I immediately interjected, "Am I rash? But I've known for a long time that Atlas's grandmother is surnamed Cross, right, honey?"

"Right, my grandmother is indeed surnamed Cross." Atlas spoke to me in a lovely manner.

I then pretended to look puzzled and glanced at the old woman in the rocking chair. "So, who are you, Grandma?"

She snorted scornfully, sent me a scornful look, and appeared somewhat dissatisfied with what I had said.

I continued, "Every era has its scum, right, Grandma?"

Atlas's eyebrows raised slightly; he knew what I was going to say next. This expression really motivated me.

I continued with an innocent expression, "Like becoming a mistress and shamelessly climbing into bed while the wife is away, using sinister means to harm others... " I continued to enumerate, looking serious and pointing fingers.

The atmosphere in the hall suddenly became strange...
