Beyond the Divorce novel Chapter 674

Celine wouldn’t have kept her for so many years without a reason. She must have wanted to use her as a weapon against Atlas.

"She even appeared at the Huffman family’s business negotiations, which caught their attention. My relationship with them is undisclosed, but she has already participated in activities with them. Doesn't that say a lot?"

Atlas pondered, looking profound.

"So, Trinity feels something is off. Recently, Stella reached out to Trinity, so Trinity plans to get close to her and find out more." Then I wondered, "Do you think Celine would’ve known about my relationship with the Huffmans if they were unreliable? Why is Stella still trying to get Trinity involved?"

"Perhaps they're giving us a false impression. We can be sure this person is working for Celine. She's not sure about the Huffman family’s real motives!" Atlas analyzed.

"So, do you think Trinity reaching out to them is the right move?" I was concerned about this. "I'm afraid we won't be able to control the Huffmans later. I never intended to form a deep bond with them."

"It's fine. Let's test the Huffmans," Atlas said casually, as if contemplating something.

"But we still don't know Celine's motives! I'm worried they must have new plans, or they wouldn't have brought out such a hidden chess piece."

I looked up at him. He was my rock.

"Don't worry about that. I'll handle it," Atlas said confidently.

I knew that he was a meticulous strategist.

"Oh, I forgot to tell you something!" Atlas seemed to want to change the subject, and his tone became lighter.

"What is it?" I asked.

"So, they've known each other for a long time?" I was curious.

"Melanie had an affair with this man many years ago. She often went to Midnight Bar, and that's how it started," Atlas said. "It should have been before she got involved with Matthew."

"It seems that Melanie wasn't devoted to Matthew from the very beginning!" I sounded smug when I said this.

I couldn't help but chuckle and say, "It’s no wonder she invited me to Midnight Bar back then. It must be because she knew she had this guy's support."

I finally understood the relationships involved. She had swiped that guy's money, and her relationship with Matthew was just a part-time gig. What a strange situation. It turned out that fate was unpredictable. The money she had accumulated was the debt she owed to this man.

It was using one to pay off another. That was life.
