Beyond the Divorce by Third Blossom 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?"

His face turned slightly red. He was clearly embarrassed, but he smiled. "You're very straightforward. I like your character. You never hide what you're thinking, which allows us to have frank discussions. So, that's one of the reasons why I see potential in working with you."

He wrapped up his words with compliments.

"Flattery! But I'm not very fond of your style. Someone else is always targeting you. It's unsettling!" I said bluntly. "Ardora is too chaotic right now, and your actions have

tarnished its reputation. I might have considered Ardora before this, but not anymore.
