Chapter 126 Once and For All
Matthew froze when he heard my words. His eyes showed unwillingness that only I understood.
Melanie grabbed his arm and yelled, “Chloe, you’re seducing him in public now! You’re shameless!”
I glared at her, then turned to Matthew, saying, “I have some departing words for you. One day, you’ll realize how horrible, disloyal, and unrighteous you are for abandoning your wife and daughter.
“We’re divorced now, so stop being deluded. We’ll go our separate ways, and I hope we never cross paths again.” I turned away but noticed Matthew’s eyes reddening.
I thanked Adrian and then got into the car I had bought with my mom, Ivanna, and Ava. I saw Matthew
through the rearview mirror, watching me leave.
I went to the hospital to fetch my dad. That evening, we celebrated my divorce with Ivanna, and she. asked me if I wanted to invite Atlas. Although I rejected her request, she teased me, “I can tell he’s
interested in you.”

“You’re being ridiculous. I just got divorced.” I rolled my eyes, and she chuckled.
Still, I called Atlas soon after, and he congratulated me. I chuckled because it was rare for one to
celebrate a divorce. I didn’t know if I should believe in love anymore.
Atlas asked, “Do you want to meet for a drink?”
“That’s okay, I had one at home. Besides, my parents are here, and it’s too late to go out,” I gave him a
valid reason, and he didn’t insist.”
I I took over Tanum Corporation in the following days and was swamped. After all, the company was a
mess when I took over. I knew Matthew wouldn’t make it easy for me. Besides taking away his trusted
subordinates, he took all the resources, including ongoing projects.
When I worked at the company before our divorce, I was laid–back and not focused at work. Therefore,
most management thought I was useless and left with Matthew.
Before leaving, Matthew smirked and said, “Tell me if you find it challenging to handle the company.
Since we were once married, I won’t be so heartless to you.”
