Lauren burst into laughter but immediately clutched her chest, wincing.
I looked at her nervously, "What's wrong? Does it hurt? You shouldn't laugh too hard." She waved it off. "Anyway, since he's shared his thoughts about divorcing Liora with you and you two have a mutually beneficial agreement, it means he trusts you completely." I acknowledged that. Atticus was a formidable figure in Foswood's construction and development industry. He occupied the top position, at least for now.

Lauren continued, "Because he trusts you, he chooses to work with you. It might just be a mutually beneficial cooperation, but you two should still communicate about the information on the shares and resources." I nodded. "You make a valid point."

Suddenly, a thought crossed my mind. I looked at Lauren and asked cautiously, "Lauren, what if... Melvern is investing in Liora's plan to change things in Foswood's construction industry?" Even saying that out loud startled me.
Lauren looked atsuspiciously, "Are you suggesting that Liora and Melvern have their own motives? Liora wants to use Melvern to eliminate Matthew, and then, Melvern plans to enter the construction industry using this half-finished project to seek revenge against Atticus. Liora will gain a company for free and suppress a group of people, especially you. Is that what you're saying?" "That's exactly what I mean." I enjoyed chatting with Lauren because of our special understanding of each other. Our thoughts always aligned.
This bold speculation left both of us silent.
After a while, I beceven more confident that if this were true, Melvern must have a reason for doing this.
That further indicated that there was skind of secret between him and Atticus.
"It seems that what you said was right, Lauren. I should talk to Atticus." At this point, I was eagerly anticipating the gathering of the big shots tomorrow. I wanted to see what kind of show Trinity would put on.
