Beyond the Divorce by Third Blossom

I remained silent and stared at Madison calmly.

When she saw that I didn't respond, Madison grew even more arrogant. "Do you really think you've beca socialite just because you're running a company and have won a few projects?" Her imposing demeanor carried a certain air of authority.

"Just wearing a branded dress doesn't make you sophisticated. Someone who's both an ex-wife and a mistress should be more cautious. I'd advise people like that to control themselves and stay low-key," Madison said, looking quite pleased with herself. After her remark, I couldn't help glancing at her expensive attire.

To my surprise, it was luxurious from head to toe.

When I still didn't respond, she shook her head and added, "That might help them not end up like Harmony one day, manipulated, deceived, and ruined." One of the sycophants beside her chimed in when she saw my continued silence. "Exactly. Speople shouldn't have any grand illusions. In Foswood, there are many legitimate socialites, so they need to carefully assess where they really stand." Madison's words were provocative, and the socialites who were with her laughed disdainfully, their eyes filled with contempt.

I scanned Madison coldly. "Why don't you be more specific, Ms. Madison? What exactly do I have illusions about? And do you know who manipulated and ruined Harmony? If you're so well-informed, you might want to share that with us. The cops are investigating the mastermind behind it all, so if you withhold any information, you might becan accomplice." "What nonsense are you talking about?" Madison's face turned pale, and she glared atangrily.

I noticed that Liora, who was not far away, had also turned pale. I took another sip of my wine and said, "Am I talking nonsense? You were the one who was just talking about this. Why don't you be clear and tell everyone who manipulated Harmony? Who's the one who wants to deal with me? Don't beat around the bush. You should tell everyone what you're really talking about. You've already made quite an entrance anyway." "Don't pretend nothing happened, Chloe! You shouldn't take things out of context. Everyone knows what you're like. Harmony wouldn't have suffered if it weren't for you. If she hadn't met you, how could she have been manipulated and ended up in such a tragic situation?" Madison retorted.

"Oh? How do you know she was manipulated because of me?" I stared at her, relentlessly questioning. She seemed overwhelmed and sensed that the conversation was taking an unexpected turn.

"Everyone says so," Madison argued desperately.

"Who is this everyone you're talking about?" I casually pointed at someone and asked, "Did you say I had affairs with other men? Who are the other men?" The person I pointed at immediately waved it away hastily. "I didn't say anything. She's making things up." I turned my determined gaze back to Madison Whether you believe it or not, I can sue you for defamation just for this. Also, make things clear to everyone who wants to deal with me" People around us moved back instinctively as they were afraid they might get themselves involved. Watching the was one thing, but nobody wanted to get into trouble. All eyes were on Madison. It seemed that everything had started because of what she had said.

Madison's face twisted, and she glanced in Liora's direction.

"Don't you know who you offended? Ask yourself that." Madison retorted, trying to shift the blame. She glanced at the people around her clearly displeased. It was obvious that she felt like she had been up.

UMS set I looked in the direction she had just glanced, asking, "Who did I offend for you to condemnat such a public event? Or have you also been manipulated as well?" My question seemed to resonate with Madison, and she glared disapprovingly at Liora.

When I followed Madison's gaze toward Liora, Vicky, who had been watching the scene unfold, couldn't resist speaking up, "What are you looking at us for?" I smiled and said nothing. All eyes turned to Vicky, and Liora glanced at her sternly.

Vicky realized she had spoken out of turn and immediately stepped back. She shotan angry look.

"It seems not only Harmony was manipulated. That must be why Ms.

I must be why Ms.

Madison was so confident in saying what she said," I remarked nonchalantly. Ivanna, who was standing in the

crowd, took the opportunity to add fuel to the fire. She addressed m Madison, saying, "Is this really the right thing to do? Aren't you betraying a good friend of yours?" As soon as Ivanna spoke, everyone realized that Madison was Liora's good friend. Madison, alarmed, looked at Liora and hurriedly said, "I didn't mean it that way." "What did you mean then? Didn't you admit..." Ivanna continued.

Vicky immediately interrupted Ivanna, arrogantly saying, "Stop talking nonsense. So what if someone wants to deal with here tons of people want to do that." Before Vicky could finish, Liora's face turned pale. But before she could stop Vicky, a powerful and intimidating voice echoed through the crowd. "I'd like to see who has the guts to touch my fiancée!"
