Beyond the Divorce novel Chapter 72

Chapter 72 Protecting Her She yelled at me.

“Chloe, you seem pretty comfortable, huh? Acting all high and mighty as the boss.

Do you think you’re qualified?” I sat calmly in my chair and looked at her.

Johnson followed her inside, attempting to mediate.

“Ms.Murphy, why are you here? Can’t you resolve it at home? There are so many people here, and it’s not the right place.

Besides…” 1 “Is she afraid of causing a scene? Who does she think she is?” Melanie was on a roll, her words cutting.

I could see the employees standing and looking at us through the frosted window.

I turned to Johnson.

and said, “Tell them to go home early.” Johnson quickly went to disperse the curious employees.

They left the office reluctantly.

Typically, they’d vanish even if there were only twenty minutes left in the workday.

I I relaxed in my seat and watched Melanie.

“Please go on with what you just said.” Johnson sensed the tension and positioned himself between us, just in case.

Melanie looked at me with the arrogance of a bull and spat, “Drop the act! You’re just sitting there and benefiting from such a serious problem.

Did you do something? Did you drug my brother?!” Melanie seemed concerned about the recent transfer traced to my account.

“So, you’re aware it’s serious? Who started it? Whatever the problem is, it’s between me and my husband,” I said calmly.

“Why are you so concerned?” I remained calm in my chair as Melanie seethed.

So, you’re saying I’m causing a scene, right?” I asked, my voice trembling with rage and sadness.

As I approached Matthew, I wondered if this was all there was to us.

I was too optimistic when I thought he would find his way back.

All the hopes that I had for the future were gone.

“You should take a closer look, Matthew.

This is my office.” “So what?” Melanie chimed in.

“Without you, things wouldn’t turn out this way.

If you could make my brother happy, would he seek out someone else?” 2 “I dare you to repeat that!” I yelled, feeling a sting in my heart.
