Beyond the Divorce by Third Blossom novel Chapter 809

When I heard what Arnold said, I was certain that he knew what happened. It seemed I had chosen the right person to ask about this.

"It's a long story, and it's complicated because it involves many people from prominent families and even led to loss of lives. That's why those who involved coordinated their testimonies, swiftly suppressed the incident, and have maintained a unified stance to keep it under wraps."

Arnold's explanation was starting to shed light on why this incident had been suppressed.

"The root cause and key figure of this incident was Melvern, so the wealthy families of Foswood joined forces to attack him. The Sunny family feared further investigation and was forced to move away from Foswood under joint pressure from those families. It was to appease public outrage."

As I listened to Arnold's detailed account, the gravity of the situation became apparent.

"But the way you describe it, it sounds like Foswood's elite turned against him. What did he do to incur the collective wrath of the upper echelons of Foswood? Was it really necessary?" I was puzzled. "Was it necessary?" Arnold repeated seriously. sᴇaʀᴄh thᴇ (ꜰind)ɴʘvel.nᴇt website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

"What happened exactly? Why was it so serious?" I looked at Arnold and pressed for more details.

Arnold fell silent, then looked at me and said, "Do you really want to know?"

"Of course. I've been trying to find out about this, but no one seems to know anything. I'm not just gossiping. I suspect that this is related to Liora."

Arnold drank his coffee as he listened to my reasons.

"More importantly, I suspect it's connected to Melvern's return to Foswood. I want to avoid conflict with him on certain matters," I added.

"It's certainly the right approach to take precautions." Arnold put down his cup and nodded approvingly.

"I even asked our grandmother about this, but she said she didn't know much about it. I'm really puzzled, and naturally, my curiosity has been piqued." I told Arnold, "I'm not gossiping; I'm just curious." Arnold chuckled and said, "Explaining this will take a long time. It's quite complicated."

His smile gave me the impression that he found the situation amusing.

"Why didn't grandma tell you the truth? Well, it's too complex, and at the time, my brother, Atlas, and I were deceived into getting involved," Arnold explained. "So it's kind of a taboo subject." "What?" I was even more surprised by this revelation. I figured that since this incident had caused a stir in high society and led to a collective attack, it couldn't have been a trivial matter. "But fortunately, after we got there, my brother pulled me away in time to avoid being implicated. Did you know? More than half of Foswood's scions were present at the scene." "What happened?" I asked in shock.
