Beyond the Divorce

"But when they arrived at the workshop, they still had some minor tasks to finish before leaving. Jonah waited for them in the workshop. He watched them work while chatting with them, and he noticed Byron tinkering with a car outside. He casually commented to the workers, 'What's Byron up to again? Why is he checking the car on a rainy day? Maybe he has his eye on Mr. Eric's car."" As Gavin talked, Alvin listened motionlessly, gripping his fists tightly. It was clear he was very anxious. After all, this was the latest clue related to his father's death.

Just then, all the food was served. Finn first gave Gavin a large bowl of food, then gestured for everyone to start eating.

Lauren helped me and Atlas get some food before sitting beside us.

Once everyone had filled their plates, Gavin continued, "Jonah said that when those workers heard his remarks, they looked at the parking area and jokingly commented, 'Jonah, you might be right; maybe he really does have his eye on Mr. Eric's car. Who knows? One day the factory might be his.'

"As fate would have it, not long after that, Eric's cable factory did become Byron's."

Alvin pounded the table with his fist. He was the only one not eating.

"Interestingly, on that day, when Jonah had some time, he casually recorded a short video of Byron messing around with the car. According to Jonah, he was completely unaware of what was happening and just filmed it unintentionally. It was still raining outside. All the workers had left after work, and he was the only one sneaking around checking the car.

"At that time, Jonah thought that Byron was tinkering with Eric's car because he liked it and wanted to drive it out to show off. He didn't pay much attention to what happened later. After the two workers finished their tasks, they all left the factory to have drinks, and no one knew when Byron left.

"But Jonah is the kind of person who takes things seriously. He had been working at the factory for many years, and it felt wrong not to tell Eric about this, especially considering the salary he received. After some careful consideration, he decided to remind Eric to be cautious of Byron, as he felt he was acting a little suspicious."

Everyone listened attentively. I even forgot to eat. I glanced at Alvin, and it was clear he was completely distraught. His face was very pale.

Gavin continued eating heartily while narrating the story. He was clearly hungry.

"After Jonah finished his drink, he went to Eric's house again. But when he arrived, he saw Byron there too, talking with Eric about a major client for the next day.

"Yes, that's right. I didn't understand why he went there after drinking, but I do remember the argument starting, and it got very loud. Mom took me to my room then," Alvin reminisced.

Gavin nodded. "Jonah said he was

annoyed when he saw Byron at Eric's house again. Plus, he had been drinking, so he spoke bluntly saying something like 'Stop fooling Mr. Erid for no reason. Who knows whose client they really are?? Just like that, they started arguing. It was the same argument Alvin remembers.

"In the end, Byron left, saying something like, 'It's up to you to believe me, Mr. Eric. After all, the factory is yours. I've done my best and I only earn a small share. The big share is still yours. If you want to take this deal, let's go. If you don't, you can celebrate your son's birthday at home. I'm leaving now.' Then he slammed the door and left, creating quite a scene.

"In the end, Eric went out to take the deal. That day, Byron drove to meet the client himself. He didn't share a ride with Eric. It seemed reasonable; he was afraid Eric wouldn't go and afraid that he couldn't secure the deal. So he went early on his own, and in the end, Eric had an accident."

"He was very cunning about this," Lauren commented.

"Jonah said that when he heard about Eric's accident that day, his head buzzed instantly. He hated himself for not stopping Eric. If he hadn't gone that day, the factory wouldn't have fallen into Byron's hands." "This was all very meticulously planned. I'm starting to fear him," I said, looking up at Atlas.Exclusive © material by Nô(/v)elDrama.Org.
