Beyond the Divorce by Third Blossom novel Chapter 823

Lauren's reaction was lightning-fast, pressing her ear against my phone.

I was at a loss for words.

Liora's voice rang out from the phone, seemingly carefree. She continued in a cryptic tone, "Surprised, huh? Well, it's not every day I call someone like you."

"Indeed! Considering I don't have much rapport with you, Ms. Liora, your call must have ulterior motives. So, spill it. What's the game plan?" I scoffed, dripping with sarcasm. "Haha... How about we meet?" She suggested, taking me off guard once again. This was truly bewildering. What kind of scheme was she cooking up?

"Meet? There's got to be a reason for that," I casually remarked, and Lauren gave me a thumbs up.

"Some things are better to be discussed face-to-face," Liora confidently asserted.

"I don't think it's necessary to talk with you. Is your bag of tricks running dry? It can't be, right?" I responded disdainfully.

"Chloe, what about Ardora? Don't you have anything to say?"

"I'm not interested." I declared firmly, wondering what game Liora and Melvern were playing. Why did they keep bringing up Ardora?

"Don't act so indifferent. After all this time, it's about time we had a face-to-face chat. Who knows, I may have something you want." Liora's tone remained ambiguous.

"I'm not interested in anything you have. Our tastes differ. But if you want to meet, get to the point. Don't beat around the bush." I was genuinely curious about her intentions, and asked, "So, spill. Where shall we meet?"

When she heard me finally giving in, she quickly said, "Since you love going to the Vanderberg Palace so much, let's meet there at 11."

After that, she hung up.

Lauren stood up, looking at me. "What is she planning?"

"I'm curious to discover what's in her bag of tricks. I got to go," I said, glancing at the time.

"I'll come with you," Lauren said. "I haven't seen Bella for a long time." Sᴇaʀ*ᴄh the Findɴovel.ɴet website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

"Now that you mention it, it has been a while since I visited the Vanderberg Palace and saw Bella. Let's go. We can head there now," I replied.

Lauren held me back. "Hey, why the rush? The key figure usually makes a late entrance, you know? Don't go too early. It may make her think you're anxious."
