Beyond the Divorce novel Chapter 703

Liora probably hadn't expected me to be so calm. However, the woman named Vicky, who was with her, seemed to recognize me and was a bit surprised.

Staring at me with displeasure, she asked, "How can it be you?"

I shifted my gaze from Liora to Vicky and asked, "Why can't it be me?"

Liora glanced at Vicky and interrupted her, "Do you two know each other?"

"We met at Arkadia Plaza yesterday," Vicky said. "She couldn't even afford a dress there and dare to wear a knockoff here."

"Tsk tsk, Vicky, what nonsense are you saying?" Liora immediately interjected. "You may not know this, but Ms. Chloe is a nouveau riche with strong ties. In the future, Ms. Chloe might be the center of attention at such gatherings. How could she be wearing knockoffs?"

Liora's ambiguous words suggested a wealthy benefactor was behind me. Otherwise, I could not attend such events. She implied that I had some secrets or connections that others didn't know.

Ivanna couldn't stand Liora's sarcastic tone and was about to speak, but everyone's attention suddenly shifted to the entrance.

I also turned to look and was delighted to see that Trinity had arrived.

As I expected, by her side was the long-unseen Stella. On her left was another girl I didn't recognize.

Liora's face immediately stiffened. Vicky grabbed Liora's arm and whispered, "Aunt Liora, that's..."

Obviously, Vicky knew the girl beside Trinity.

Liora hushed Vicky with a low growl, "Shut up."

My mind quickly grasped the situation. It seemed that the drama Trinity mentioned was unfolding with this girl. Otherwise, Liora wouldn't react so strangely upon seeing her.

This 'subtle battle’ between us had become something common. Her surprised expression was not strange at all.

"Yes," I said with a faint smile. "Someone is always keeping an eye on me."

But her expression led me to conclude that she didn't orchestrate this truck incident. Her expression didn't seem like she was lying.

During our conversation, Stella's eyes casually glanced at Liora. She hurriedly smiled and said, "Stella, it's been a while since I last saw you."

"You’ve been doing so well lately. How would you have the time for me?" Stella asked.

Observing the interaction between the two, it became evident that there was a crack in their relationship. Stella's casual comment later about the funds being in place hinted at some discord between them.

I could smell a hint of disharmony in the air.
