Beyond the Divorce

Mia's call finally came through. As soon as I answered, she said, "Chloe, I heard you're planning to acquire Echelon Group. Is
that true or just a rumor?"
"What's the matter? If it's said online that I'm acquiring it, then I will! Can't let these people complain for nothing!" I replied with an
annoyed tone while munching on strawberries.
My tone displeased Mia a bit. She couldn't contain her impatience and said, "One should have self-awareness. What capital do
you have to acquire Echelon Group? Atticus is currently missing. Who gave you the right to announce the acquisition?" "Mia," I
smiled. "How did you know Atticus is missing? Is that not what you did? What does it have to do with me?
"My dream has always been to acquire Echelon Group. I've had this goal ever since I established Tanum! I aim to make the
company the most outstanding and prominent to take over Echelon Group! Haha! " I said, sounding bold and arrogant.
I put down the strawberry in my hand and continued, "I got a sudden notion while I was relaxing at home and was really bored. If

I acquire Echelon Group, won't it strengthen Tanum?"
"Chloe, you're quite the confident soldier! Enough is enough! Don't make it too difficult for Atlas!" Mia's voice was cold and stern.
I grinned, "Well, that's the result of my casual chat with Atlas! Once we acquire Echelon, won't we become the largest
construction and development group in Foswood and even in Zydan? If that's the case, I won't have to deal with this annoyance
anymore, right? "At least by then, people like you won't be able to interrogate me anymore. Who gave you the confidence
anyway?"
There was no response from the other side. However, based on my understanding of Mia, she must find it hard to digest my
words.
But I didn't even consider her feelings, "After all, my husband is the real deal, the kind with a marriage certificate. Others might
not know but you do, right? I didn't get someone to pretend to be miel.
partner! So, this decision was made quite happily!"
"Chloe, I've always respected you, but don't go too far," Mia said slowly, emphasizing each word, indicating she was trying hard
to control her emotions.
"Thanks for the reminder, Mia. But since I've started, I'm going all the way. Not only will I acquire Echelon Group, but I've also
decided about the Old Bourdamun project. I definitely won't give it up without a fight. You better be prepared." I swayed in the

rocking chair. "Mia, let's make a bet. Who do you think will win, you or me?"
"Haha! Chloe, you're confident! Let's wait and see who comes out on top!" Mia's voice was sinister but carried a hint of
amusement.
"Oh, by the way, I got some new information! Archie has been handed over to the authorities. The tables have turned and his
subordinates will suffer! Who knows how much of his dark past will be revealed if he is investigated Chloe, it might be difficult for
you to see him again!" Mia's tone was sarcastic and eerie. Then, she chuckled.
"That's all thanks to Mr. Arthur. Congratulations in advance. Mia, you're better off pursuing a political career than a businessman.
You should inherit your father's legacy and pursue a career in politics. It might be more promising!" I said.
"But now you're in a bit of a predicament. You find yourself in a situation where you cannot move up or down. So, this step in life
is crucial Why do you insist on changing careers and becoming a businesswoman?" I sighed with feigned regret. "What a pity!"
I couldn't help but laugh, and Ivanna started laughing,too. "Haha! Chloe, you're killing me! You've gone soft again, haven't you?
Why be so kind-hearted?"
I glanced at Ivanna and said, "It's like a meeting one's match. You wouldn't understand."
"I don't understand! Aren't you just trying to make fun of yourself? Why say so much? When the old man dies, just set off some
firecrackers! It's practical and generous. Why bother with all this talk? Let it go!"
