Chapter 112 An Unpleasant Inquiry

I looked at him baffled.

“Wasn’t the divorce trial scheduled for today? Why wasn’t there a hearing today? Why’d

you cancel it?” He stared at me impassively, but his tone showed displeasure.

Had he gone to the courthouse? No one knew we had postponed the trial. The only logical

explanation.

was that he had been there.

“Something came up, so I had to reschedule it at the last minute,” I explained.

“Are you having second thoughts again?” His face grew stern. “How could you even

consider it after what

he’s done?”

I was much calmer than he was. I took a few sips of my glass of lemonade and said, “I

He fixed his eyes on my face. “Why not?”

“There’s nothing I can do. Matthew is using my parents to blackmail me,” I said helplessly.

“I didn’t expect

him to stoop so low.”

“Do you plan to let him manipulate you forever?”

“My hands are tied, okay? My father just had a stroke. I’d rather be humiliated than risk

upsetting him.”

We fell silent for a moment. The thought of the Murphys in my house infuriated me.

After a long pause, I looked at him and asked, “When did you get back?”

“Last night,” he said bluntly. Then he gave me a long, unnerving look.

“Let me make some arrangements,” he said. “I’ll let you know when I’m done. All you’ll

along.”

“Thank you!”

It was dark outside when I left the cafe. Atlas gave me some brief instructions at the door,

constant anxiety was eating at me.

To ease my anxiety, I took a detour through the bustling streets. However, I knew I had to

return home eventually. My loved ones were there, and I couldn’t let the Murphys do as

they pleased.

The following day, Atlas called me. He instructed me to bring my parents and Ava to Snow

World, where I was to take part in a lucky draw. I understood that this was part of his

arrangement.

I discreetly offered to take my parents out after breakfast. They were hesitant, but when I

told them Ava had always wanted to go to Snow World, they happily agreed to join us.

Matthew offered to drive us there, claiming it was a fantastic idea. Clearly, he didn’t want

us to have any alone time, I didn’t object, as I didn’t want to leave them alone in my

house.

Ivanna had left her car for me to use. After Melanie led my parents and Grace to

Matthew’s car, she smilingly hopped into mine.
