Beyond the Divorce novel Chapter 806

My words were sharp, and I knew it. But I intentionally chose to speak this way.

"I really want to transfer those shares to you, Ms. Chloe. After all, moving forward, I hope to have a long-term partnership with Tanum. I've carefully weighed the pros and cons, and Tanum is more than capable of meeting my requirements. So, I find that my previous blind investment was quite naive."

"There's no need for me to correct your mistake," I said bluntly.

"I don't want you to do that. But I think you’ll have some ideas for Ardora." Melvern was trying to convince me.

Who did he think he was? Did he think I was a fool he could manipulate at will? Even if I were interested in Ardora, this wouldn't be how I acquired it.

Ridiculous! What was he thinking?

"I don't know what you’re thinking, but I know myself! I believe you also know I've never been interested in anything that belongs to someone else, especially Ardora. I don’t intend to work with Liora.”

I spoke candidly, "It seems as though there’s a reason why you’re doing this, Mr. Melvern."

Melvern smiled mysteriously, "You’re overthinking it, Ms. Chloe. I’ve weighed my options, and I believe it would be best for Tanum to take over Ardora."

I chuckled and scoffed. "You've weighed your options? Since when did Tanum become so attractive to you, Mr. Melvern?”

"You overestimate it, Mr. Melvern. In my eyes, Ardora is worthless." I stated bluntly, leaving no room for misunderstanding.

That was a genuine statement. My projects had significantly surpassed Ardora. What was once a beautiful song had been shattered by Liora and Matthew. Why should I clean up their mess?

Matthew had already paid a heavy price, and the Murphy family had lost everything. Did I really need Ardora?

I didn't know what Melvern was thinking, but if I took over, I'd be left holding a hot potato. I wasn't going to play into his hands. That was why I said Ardora was worthless to me.

The atmosphere was awkward. Someone knocked on the door just as we were caught in the uncomfortable silence. Before I could respond, the door swung open, and Arnold walked in with a smile.
