Beyond the Divorce

An Uninvited Guest

Everyone turned to the entrance when they heard the slightly mocking voice. To my surprise, I saw the uninvited Lauren walking in. I instinctively face–palmed in amazement.

Lauren’s presence shocked everyone. She had exposed Matthew’s affair at our wedding anniversary a few months ago. The supposedly upright Matthew even went to court for our divorce.

Lauren’s actions caused Matthew and I to divorce. His notoriety skyrocketed immediately after. Although Lauren was once his mistress, she had exposed him for his affair with Melanie.

Today, she again appeared at Matthew’s son’s full moon banquet. I knew she wasn’t here to enjoy the food, either. Her appearance always held some significance, and it seemed Matthew would pay the price

today.

I was even more surprised because we agreed she was not supposed to come. I wondered why she came anyway. I covered my eyes, realizing that another exciting show was about to begin. Still, I didn’t know

what she would do this time.

As I looked around, I noticed a middle–aged woman accompanying Lauren. Judging from the former’s age, attire, and demeanor, I knew she was not Lauren’s friend. Instead, the middle–aged woman appeared

somewhat raunchy..

She followed Lauren with a nervous smile. Anyone could tell the woman had applied significant foundation to her face. Her eyes were sharp and greedy as she scanned her surroundings. She appeared

amazed by the luxurious setting before her.

For some reason, I felt like I had met her somewhere. Still, I didn’t know where Lauren had found this

Suddenly, Grace exclaimed, “You bitch! Matthew, get her…..get her out of here!”

Everyone was shocked as their eyes darted around, trying to figure out who Grace was cursing. It seemed

she was referring to the woman beside Lauren.

Lauren chuckled at the chaos. Then, she turned to the woman and softly prompted her to scan our side of

the room.

Soon after, she stepped past Lauren and pointed at our group, asking Lauren, “Which one? Is it her or her?”

The woman’s finger ultimately settled on Melanie.

uren grinned, gave the woman a thumbs up, and raised a brow

After receiving approval from Lauren, the woman approached Melanie and wailed, “Oh, my dear daughter and grandson! I finally found you! Quick, let me see my grandson.

Matthew was dumbfounded. He stared at Lauren, who was standing at the door, smiling.

He had probably guessed Lauren was up to no good. However, he didn’t know what she would do. When the woman ran toward Melanie, Grace went berserk. She screamed at Matthew to throw the woman out.

At that moment, Stella pulled Liora aside and looked at the woman frustratedly.

The woman grabbed Melanie and scrutinized her from head to toe. “Oh, I’ve missed you so much, my dear daughter. You made it so hard for me to find you.”
