Divorcing 112
Chapter 112 The Discord Between Friends
At the club, Michael sat in the private room he frequented with his friends, drinking his sorrows away.
Before long, Asher arrived with Owen.
Seeing the glum Michael, Asher was the first to speak, "What's going on, Mr. Shawn? Why are you drinking your troubles away here again? Are you so depressed because the divorce didn't go through?"
As his closest friends, they were well aware that Michael had been discussing divorce with Chloe lately.
The lack of progress was tiresome for anyone.
Michael glanced at him but didn't speak; instead, he drained the glass of whiskey in his hand.
Owen sat down next to him and asked, "Why isn't Lucy here?"
She usually attended their gatherings.
She liked Michael, and she never missed an opportunity to meet him.
The only reason was that Michael hadn't called her.

He took out his phone, intending to call Lucy, but Michael stopped him.
"It's just us men here today. Let's not call Lucy."
Owen's hand slightly froze before he put the phone away after a
moment.
"Michael, Lucy has been one of us since we founded Shawn Heavy Industries. What did you mean by what you just said? When was she excluded from our group?"
Owen had to attribute this to Chloe.
"Is it because your wife is making trouble with you again?"
In his view, Chloe was a jealous woman. She always got jealous even though there was nothing between Lucy and Michael. Such a wife would only be a hindrance.
"It's not about Chloe." Michael left it at that and continued to drink.
"If it's about Chloe, then what's it about?" Owen thought for a moment, then suddenly realized something, his eyes flickering with disbelief.
"Did you read those online comments and think Lucy really wants to break up your family, so you want to keep your distance? Michael, we've known each other for so long. Don't you know what kind of person Lucy is?"

Those online netizens didn't know the truth and spoke ill of her.
It was one thing for others to believe them, but how could they influence Michael, too?
Michael squeezed the glass in his hand and suddenly stared at the seat in front of him. "What if what's being said online is true?"NôvelDrama.Org holds text © rights.
What if he had failed to see through Lucy and everything she showed him was really just an act?
Owen was taken aback and looked at him in surprise.
"What are you talking about? Lucy has been our friend since college. After all these years, you don't believe what you've seen with your own eyes but believe what you read online! Why?" Owen stood up, annoyed.
"Michael, you disappoint me. Chloe is clearly trying to create discord. She can't get your affection, so she blames innocent people. Can't you see that?"
Before Michael and Asher could speak, Owen pushed the door and left.
He couldn't stand how the once wise Michael had become so foolish, and he couldn't stand him speaking ill of Lucy in front of him.
Chapter 112 The Discord Between Friends Watching him leave in anger, Asher shook his head helplessly.
"Don't mind him. He speaks faster than he thinks!"
Michael remained silent.
Asher wasn't annoyed and joined him for a few more drinks.
In the silence, he looked at Michael seriously and said, "Are those things you mentioned online really true?"
