Beyond the Divorce novel Chapter 1540

As Mia scrutinized me, I continued, "Miss Mia, I've had a good impression of you since the day we first met. You may be arrogant, but I’ve never harbored any bias against you."

These were my honest thoughts about Mia.

"But when you took the first step for the Tomlinson family, I no longer saw you as a myth. On the contrary, you were just an ordinary person, devoid of any wisdom."

I was harsh, but I didn't intend to show her any respect at all.

"Of course, I don't know if your marriage was arranged at your father's behest or if you truly fell in love with Ernest and influenced your father. But the result was tragic regardless."

"You're going too far, Chloe!" Mia straightened up and looked at me in anger.

I smiled meaningfully and continued, "If it's the former, you have some of my sympathy, but if it's the latter, you're really awful! I have to say, you haven’t just ruined your father's future. You’ve also ruined the Morgan family’s future."

"I never thought of you as a bad person, Chloe, but don't think that gives you the right to be so bold with me!" Mia finally let her anger show.

"Truth hurts, Mia. You’ll regret this one day. The Tomlinson family is nothing but mediocre!" I confronted her anger and refused to back down.

I immediately cut Mia off when I saw her trying to speak, "Don't ask me why. You chose this path! You've already dragged your family with you. There's no turning back!"

I said all this with thorough and piercing cruelty, because Atlas had hinted at it before he left. His icy attitude had given me a hint.

After being married for so long, Atlas and I understood each other without words.

He had treated Mia with cold indifference and had even said, 'I'll be waiting downstairs for you,' which meant that there was no need to talk to her any more; she wasn't worth our time.

I believed in Atlas, no matter how tricky the current situation was.

After saying that, I didn't give Mia any more of my time. I smiled at her and said, "I need to go, Miss Mia. Atlas is waiting for me downstairs. We have business at home."

Was she taking me for a fool? Or had I provoked her?

Why was she so confident, and did she think it was worth it?

Carol immediately pushed the door open and entered, looking displeased. "Has she left?"

"Yeah," I replied softly. I collected my thoughts and said, "I'm leaving now. Keep an eye on Benny while I’m away. If you can't reach me, contact Atlas or Grayson. Either one is fine."

I didn't know why I said that.

Then I picked up my bag and walked out. As I passed Ryan's office, I thought that his wedding would probably be delayed.

Who knew what would happen in 12 days?
