Beyond the Divorce



I understood what my father meant. After all, the other half of the distribution map had yet to be found.

"So, we staged a play to provoke the Tomlinson family! But Leonard isn't the main leader of-there's someone else!" Atlas said.

"Someone else?"

"If Archie doesn't fall, they won't dare to act recklessly. Only by 'taking down' Archie, they would dare to act without restraint. Then we can capture the main leader." Atlas looked at me confidently and said, "And only Archie and I know about this plan."

"What about Arthur Morgan?" I asked, feeling a bit puzzled.

Archie mentioned Arthur with some anger, "He's a complete villain! Despite grooming him for so many years, he betrayed me in the face of self- interest! Our national security has frozen his overseas accounts."Nôvel(D)rama.Org's content.

"...National security?" I was surprised as I did not expect that we had national security guarding us from behind.

"Grayson and Gavin are both soldiers of national security."

"Ah..." I was utterly stunned, realizing they were omnipotent in my eyes for a reason.

"Arthur's daughter is not simple. She is the middleman who launders corrupt money for Arthur's wealth. A lot of funds were being transferred abroad by her and laundered through her operations overseas." Archie's words sent chills down my spine.

It turned out that I saw Mia's cold and arrogant surface. I didn't expect her to be such a substantial person.

"She was eager to return to Foswood. She publicized her return to the country for development, projects, and investments because she's already noticed that national security is watching her," Atlas said. He sat next to me on the sofa.

"Especially after Denton was arrested, she became nervously alert. Denton was a key link in Mia's chain," Atlas said calmly. "So Denton was targeted by Arnold a long time ago!"

"Arnold?" I was surprised.

Archie smiled proudly, "Arnold is a member of national security sent overseas by us. The Beringer can easily cover up his true identity."

"So that's why he never graduates!" Suddenly, I understood the mystery behind it.

"Mia's chain couldn't operate

ne

normally with Denton in trouble. She was resolved to take action because you have been holding onto her 'investment.' She used her minions to uncover the details of Hartz Group and pulled me down to achieve her goal," Archie added.

"And what about the Tomlinson family...?" I found it hard to believe all this.

"The Tomlinson family is just one of her minions. Ernest is not her fiance! She has another man!"

"My goodness!" I exclaimed, "Mia is good at acting. She acted so convincingly at the engagement banquet, and we all believed it!"

"Atticus is the one she targeted. She

et

intended to knock down Echelon Group and then take control of it. This explains why Atticus always believed that, despite the Sunny family's actions, there were other forces at work!" Atlas explained to me.

"Is Ernest related to Celine?" I looked at Atlas and asked.

"Ernest is indeed Celine's son, but he is Leonard's illegitimate child. Leonard's legal wife, Lindsay Tomlinson, is the true successor of the Monora Chamber of Commerce. Leonard's original surname is Norman.

"He was noticed by Lindsay Tomlinson because of his appearance. He's a son-in-law living at wife's parent's house, so he changed his surname to Tomlinson!"

"So that's how it is?" I couldn't believe it.

"This makes Ernest's identity quite awkward. He's the kind of floating duckweed unloved by his grandma and uncles, surviving in a precarious situation.

"So Ernest hates his parents, who

are ashamed of him. This has always been a pain for Celine because she dared not openly admit that Emest was her son. I'm afraid it's his first and last public appearance in Foswood!"

"Why?" I asked.
