Chapter 135 A Small World

I immediately shook my head. Forget it. I shouldn’t be too ruthless. Matthew’s cruelty

didn’t mean I had to

retaliate in kind.

We had once been a married couple, and even though we had divorced, bitterness was

unnecessary. Let the bridges burn. There was no need for a fight to the death.

I found myself deep in contemplation. My mindset became more balanced with Ryan’s

help at the company, and the previous resentment gradually faded away.

Instead of fighting with Matthew, developing my business seemed more worthwhile. He

might have bitten

me, but I didn’t need to bite back. After all, he was still Ava’s dad.

He hadn’t gained much from me, so stepping back would be better. However, I didn’t

expect Matthew to

back me into a corner.

Over the next few days, one problem after another came up. Just as we were about to

he left me with no option. What was the point of the project without these supplies? He

was pushing me

to the edge.

Since Ryan took over Tanum Corporation, he brought in some big clients. Fixing this

problem became

very important. I had no choice but to talk to suppliers myself. With Ryan leading the way,

I had the

confidence to go all out.

Atlas seemed to be very occupied lately. We were both busy, and even phone calls were

infrequent.

However, Stella had called me twice and exchanged small talk. We sometimes ran into

each other at

business meetings.

She was a trainee manager at ATL Empire, assigned by the headquarters. I didn’t know

she had a

connection with the main office.

Stella called me when I got off the train in Foswood, asking where I was. I told her the

truth.

She seemed disappointed. “I was hoping to invite you to dinner.”

“In that case, let’s have dinner! I’m starving!” She had invited me several times, so

declining wouldn’t be

right.

“Really?” Her interest was piqued. “Then, how about we go to the revolving restaurant we

went to last

time? I liked it there!”

“Alright, but it’ll take me about half an hour to get there.”

“No problem, I’ll wait for you!” She said with pleasure, “See you in a bit!”

I found my car in the parking lot. I was going to change clothes before heading to the

restaurant, but I was

worried I would be late.

a small world, as they say. At the elevator, I encountered Matthew and Melanie.

Melanie frowned at my disheveled state. “You look like a poor wretch, yet you dare to

come here!”

Her words drew the attention of people around us, and their eyes filled with scorn.

As for Matthew, his eyes held a mixture of emotions. His lips twitched slightly as he said,

“Chlo!”

I remained composed and only looked at the elevator display.

Matthew seemed smitten with his sister. She was quite the attention seeker, and he

paraded her around.

Such moments were rare when we were together, but that was my fault.

I always declined his romantic advances, preferring to eat at home for convenience and

cleanliness. That was my philosophy. It seemed laughable now, as I had reserved all my

romantic opportunities with

Matthew for other women.

No, she had always been there. It disgusted me that they’ve been together since Melanie

was in high

school.

When the elevator finally arrived, I got in. They stood in front of me, Matthew stood tall,

appearing quite Imposing. Melanie clung to him with faux innocence.

Then she called him honey, which sent shivers down my spine. He went from being her

brother to her

partner.

Upon entering the restaurant, I spotted Stella. She waved with a sweet smile.

I couldn’t help but feel wary of her gaze. It seemed to circle my face as if she were

searching for answers.

After I sat down, I could see that Stella was beautifully dressed. She had the air of a

refined woman, and I

felt like an ugly duckling next to her.

She said, “Ms. Chloe, I invited Atlas, too!”
