Beyond the Divorce

I calmly looked at Atlas, and he didn't rush to interact with me. Accompanied by the crowd, he stood there like a king looking down on his subjects, his gaze coldly fixed on Hazelyn. Hazelyn was filled with enchantment upon seeing Atlas, her mouth hanging open as she gazed at him. There was a mixture of surprise, awe, and even a little fear on her face!

A slightly chubby, tall man stepped forward from the crowd and addressed Hazelyn, "I am the general manager of Grand Tribeca!"

With a serious expression, he continued, "Customers come first. This is an unchanging basic principle of our mall. This place is also a paradise for the public. So I won't allow you to drive away customers just because you want to! "Ms. Hazelyn, even if you were the owner of Grand Tribeca, I wouldn't condone such behavior! Moreover, Grand Tribeca has no relationship with the Chandler family!"

The crowd erupted into a commotion. Everyone looked at the unfolding scene and could sense something was wrong.

Some even looked at Hazelyn with a hint of schadenfreude. This is when Hazelyn looked at the general manager and twitched her mouth.

The people around her were somewhat surprised, looking at Hazelyn with confusion.

The general manager continued, "Ms. Hazelyn, you're quite arrogant to make such decisions. I regret to inform you that ATL Empire has acquired Grand Tribeca and it has become the 23rd Arkadia Plaza!"

His words caused another gasp from everyone present. Some even started recording videos with their phones. Everything happening here would be on the internet in no time.

This revelation left Hazelyn genuinely unsettled. "What are you saying? This is impossible! W-What authority do you have to make this decision?"

"I indeed don't have the authority to make this decision. It was a decision from the city!"

Hazelyn, acting as if she didn't understand, arrogantly pointed at him, "Has the Chandler family issued an acquisition notice to you? How

dare you speak to me like tho

gave you the authority? Tell me, who in the city made this decision?"

"How presumptuous! Since when did the Chandler family dare to challenge Gerby's upper management? The Chandler family doesn't have the power to dominate everything in Gerby!" The one speaking was Rico Rickard, the mayor of Gerby.Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDrâ/ma.O(r)g!

Hazelyn clicked her mouth, and

everyone's gaze turned toward her. Even her supporters gave her a dubious glance. Those in the vicinity, merely witnessing the excitement, displayed looks of contempt!

His words shocked everyone present, and some even whispered among themselves. It seemed that this piece of news was real!

The security guard sensed the unfavorable situation and immediately told the onlookers, "Everyone, please disperse! Don't crowd around. It affects the normal operation of this mall!"

He then turned to face me, clearly expressing his fury, saying, "And you, don't cause trouble here. If you want to buy something, buy it quickly. ff not, get lost! Nothing of this would have happened if you hadn't been stirring up trouble."

It turned out he was pushing all the blame onto me. He said this to avoid offending either side.

His arrogance was especially pronounced, like a thug aggressively approaching me. Didn't he realize the general manager knew who I was?

I calmly watched the security guard. What an idiot!

However, he remained oblivious, still approaching me.

Just as he was about to get closer, a voice rang out, "If you dare to take another step toward her, I will not be polite with you!"
