Beyond the Divorce by Third Blossom novel Chapter 34

Chapter 34 A Tense Confrontation

“Chlo, I honestly don’t know. M–Mr. Murphy has someone, but I don’t know who she is.” Johnson’s confidence wavered as he spoke, “M–Matthew, ho…”

“You know he has another woman, yet you claim not to know who she is? Johnson…” I trailed off.

“Chlo, I swear I don’t know. He’s never brought her around. I’ve only seen her twice from behind,” Johnson’s confession left me conflicted. Either Matthew was highly cautious, or Johnson was lying.

However, there were more pressing matters on my mind. I suppressed my frustration, lowered my intensity, and changed the subject, “I need you to do something for me.”

As expected, Johnson seemed to relax. He sighed in relief and surrendered, “Sure! Chlo, just tell me what you need. I’m all in.”

“I want the concealed financial reports and the recent list of major clients,” I said firmly.

Johnson froze at my request. He was in disbelief. “Chlo…”

“Why? Is there no such thing?” I curiously questioned.

“Chlo, there’s no such thing. I’ve shown you all the annual reports.” Johnson’s expression was bitter as he

tried to convince me, “Please, don’t put me in a tough spot. I wouldn’t lie to you. I’ve been closer to

Matthew these years, but it is all for your company’s sake. I swear I’m loyal.”

I coldly remarked, “Maybe it’s him you’re loyal to, not me.”

Johnson fell silent, and I observed him. He seemed at a loss as I moved my fingers slightly. Suddenly, a

mix of moans and profanities echoed throughout the room as I showed my phone screen to him.

Johnson was shocked when he saw the video. “Chlo, how could you?!”

“Deliver what I need to my office tomorrow. I want to see fund flows, summaries, details–anything
