We all breathed a collective sigh of relief. Ivanna clapped her hands and exclaimed, "Alright, let's eat. Get them to serve the food quickly, Jared! I’m starving.”

Jared promptly played the role of a waiter and summoned the servers waiting at the entrance to bring in the food.

We sat together as three families. Ivanna, never one to miss an opportunity to tease, threw a comment at Oliver. "You’d better hurry up, Oliver. Look, you’re the oldest among the three families, but your future child will be the youngest. You should seize the opportunity while Atlas hasn't completed his mission yet. It shouldn't be too hard."

That remark instantly made us all blush. Lauren complained, "Control her, Jared. She wasn't like this before. You've spoiled her."

"You should let Oliver spoil you too," Ivanna retorted before Jared could respond.

"After you give birth, we'll settle the score properly." Lauren gave Ivanna a sly glance.

    My heart was lodged in my throat. I had a feeling that when Oliver shielded Lauren from the knife attack, stepping in front of her in a split second, he had actually taken the blow meant for me. I sensed it the moment Lauren pushed me away, her swift gesture revealing that the assailant was targeting me.I realized that if she had reacted a second later, I would have been injured.The car arrived at the hospital, and the ambulance stopped at the entrance. The doctors who had been waiting swiftly transferred Oliver on a mobile bed to head to the emergency room.Oliver was rushed into the emergency room, and Lauren sat on the floor, staring at her blood-stained hands and muttering, "Why is there so much blood? He'll be fine, won't he?"I hurried over and grabbed her. "Don't worry, Lauren. He'll be okay."She looked at me in disbelief, gripping my hand tightly. "He's lost so much blood, Chlo. What do we do? I can’t let anything happen to him!”At that moment, more doctors hurried ov

    All eyes were fixed on the hospital director, and a hush fell over the room.The director announced, "We managed to save the patient. Fortunately, the knife missed his heart by only a few millimeters, so we managed to work on his wound. If the knife had been any closer to his heart, it would have been impossible for us to do anything. “He lost a lot of blood as we extracted the knife because it was a risky procedure. The good thing is, we made sure he didn’t suffer from a second injury throughout the surgery. “If he had fallen to the ground, he would have died on the spot. He’ll be sent to the Intensive Care Unit for observation in the next 24 hours. If he can get through this, he should be fine after that.”Lauren's body trembled, tears streaming down her face. She murmured, "He did it for me."I quickly tried to reassure her. "Take it easy, Lauren. He’s been saved. Don't worry. I know you two did it to save me.""I want to see him," Lauren pleaded.We went to the Intensive C

    After sleeping for just over four hours, Lauren woke up and hurriedly returned to the Intensive Care Unit. Unfortunately, the nurse had just wheeled Oliver out to transfer him to the regular ward.Lauren broke down when she didn’t see Oliver, crying, "Where is he? Where's Oliver?"At that moment, I was afraid that if something really happened to Oliver, Lauren might think about ending her life too.Alex stepped forward, gently embracing the agitated Lauren. He softly said, "Don’t be upset, Lauren. They're getting ready to move him to the regular ward. Don't worry."Lauren looked at Alex in astonishment, asking, "Really? Don't lie to me.""It's true."I nodded, and we helped her back to the room to wait. Shortly after, they brought Oliver back.Lauren rushed over. "Oliver."Oliver was still unconscious on the bed. He looked extremely pale, and was still receiving a blood transfusion.Soon after, Jared and Atlas entered the room together. They had been handling business outside

    Atlas furrowed his brow and said into the phone, "Mike, don't worry! We're heading there right away. Call the police and let them investigate. We'll be there soon.""All right. Hurry up and come over. I'll try to gather some friends to figure things out."After hanging up the phone, he turned to Cane beside him. "Book the plane tickets immediately. Jared, I'll leave things here to you."In the hospital room, everyone seemed a bit lost. Lauren reassured me, "Go quickly! You can leave this to me and Jared. Don't worry. We'll find him."I just glanced at the weak Oliver lying on the hospital bed and said, "Oliver, take care of yourself. Sorry!"He blinked. "Go on."Atlas, Cane, and I left the room. We immediately ran into Ivanna who was carrying a thermos. She asked, "Where are you all going in such a hurry?""We've got something urgent. We'll leave things here to you."I was still pondering how someone could disappear like that? A perfectly healthy person, at that?My phone ra

    I quickly entered their dressing room, which was neatly arranged with no clutter or signs of any books brought back.I searched around hastily and then hurriedly left the dressing room. Time didn't allow me to continue searching. I needed to find my mom and ask her what my dad brought home.Exiting their room, I rushed to Rose’s room since they were probably together.I indeed found my mom with Rose, organizing something.I immediately asked, "Mom! When you and Dad returned from Bibury, did you bring back any books?"My mom turned to look at me, hesitatingly asking, "Why did you come back so early today? How’s Oliver?""He's stabilized. He's out of intensive care now, and things seem to be fine. He just needs some rest," I responded absentmindedly. My mind was focused on the question I needed to ask her."Thank goodness. We were just discussing this matter with Mrs. Rose," my mom mumbled.Anxious, I pressed on, "Mom? Did you bring back some books from Bibury?""Why are you sud

    "We have to play it by ear." He said, " I believe this notebook must be crucial, not just to your father but also to the ones who want it. There must be secrets involved. Even if we have this, we can't let them have their way."As soon as Atlas said this, everything clicked for me.Indeed, they knew my father better than I did. How did they know about this mysterious notebook? What exactly was in it that led them to resort to kidnapping?"So, are we heading there now? But the person on the phone is after the notebook. If we don't give it to them, then...?" I was a bit unsettled, especially since it involved my dad's well-being."All the clues lead to the small town, so we must make a trip there to understand the whole story," Atlas asserted.Just as we were about to leave the lobby, I heard my mom calling me from behind. "Chlo..."I turned around to see her quickly descending the stairs.We both stood in place, watching her approach. Though her expression remained composed, he

    I looked at him incredulously. "Why are you saying this? Can you stop hiding things from me? I'm not a child!""I haven't hidden anything from you." He reached out, wrapping his arm around me. "They've caught the person, but it was an online transaction, and the identity of the other party is unknown.""Unknown identity?" I questioned.Atlas assured me, "But it's not Liora.""She's ruled out!" "Yes! She wouldn't be able to find such a person so quickly," Atlas said confidently, "There must be someone else involved."I fell silent. Someone else?He pulled the blanket up over me. "Get some sleep, hmm? Whoever he is, anyone who harms you won't have an easy time.""Did you already know that Oliver was seriously injured?" "The position and depth of the knife were clear at a glance," he answered."So... they intended to harm me?" I muttered. "Do you think the person that kidnapped my dad will…" My mind was spinning. I didn't hold back my questions."They won't touch your dad u

    The police also reported on the inspection of nearby surveillance. Despite being a small town, it wasn't quite dead at night. The hotel my dad stayed at was the newest star-rated establishment, with cars coming and going.After a thorough investigation, they finally identified a black Audi parked in front of the hotel during that time frame. However, it was parked at such a tricky angle that one couldn't see the person coming out the door. That car's license plate belonged to our small town, but upon further investigation, it turned out to be a fake.It seemed like this was a well-planned and premeditated incident. We were anxiously awaiting the latest clues from the investigating officers.Just at that moment, my phone rang again.I quickly said to everyone, "It's that unknown number."Atlas reached over and took my phone, then turned on the speaker.The next second, the modulated voice echoed again.

    Four months later, at a hospital in Foswood.After being wheeled out of the delivery room, I saw my entire family waiting for me outside.My grandmother, supported by Hana, walked up to me, trembling. "Chlo, my Chlo, you've been through so much!"Beside my grandmother was a girl who looked a lot like me, standing silently beside my grandmother. She was the one who had been crafted to be my counterfeit.What was even more dramatic was that the DNA test results had revealed that she was actually my parents' daughter. When we found out, we cried tears of joy. It was truly heaven-sent. From then on, I gained another sister, who was like a twin to me.Feeling a little weak, I looked at her kind smile and said, "Grandma! It's two boys!""We all saw them. They’re very handsome and healthy! I can finally rest assured. My daughter has a life partner now," Ivanna said as she eagerly squeezed by my side.Everyone burst into laughter.

    I closed my eyes, trying hard to recall my dreams. Usually, this scenario always appeared in my dreams, but now I couldn't remember any details.Atlas looked at me indulgently. "Take your time, don't rush. Your mom will help us."I took a deep breath, clearing all the distractions from my mind. I seemed to see my mom holding my hand, eagerly walking into the woods, looking around and at the treetops. As we ventured deeper into the woods, I asked, "Where are you taking me, Mom? The woods are so dark. I'm scared! Don't go in, Mom. There might be wild animals!""Don't be afraid. I'm here with you. We need to find the tallest tree.""Why do we need to find the tallest tree?""So you can remember!""But I can't walk anymore. I'm scared!""Go sit on that rock for a while. I'll come to you.""A rock," I murmured as I suddenly opened my eyes.I quickly stood up, searching for a place with rocks."Search where there are rocks," Atlas instructed the others.Everyone dispersed quickly,

    I gazed at Atlas's anxious face, his features wavering before my eyes. "Chlo... tell me what's wrong," he said, concern etched on his handsome face. I glanced around the room, noticing all our loved ones present, their faces filled with worry, both inside and outside the door.Closing my eyes, I nestled into Atlas's embrace. I felt exhausted like never before. With a soft murmur, I confessed, "I'm... I'm okay." My head throbbed fiercely with an unbearable sensation."I'm fine," I repeated before settling back into his arms, still as a statue. In my ears, the echoes of my dream lingered.A team of medical staff rushed in. Atlas patted me gently. "Let the doctors check you out, sweetheart. You've been out for 48 hours! Let them examine you, okay?"He eased me onto the bed. After the doctors finished their examination, they briefed Atlas on the results.I drifted back to sleep, this time for real, unaware of anything.When I woke up again, the room was bright. Blinking, I look

    Ernest was truly shaken by the sight before him, visibly trembling in fear."Everyone in the car, get out! You have one minute." After Atlas's words, several red dots appeared on the foreheads of the people inside the car.The driver immediately wet himself in fear, raising his hands. "N-No... please!..."As his hand reached for the door handle to exit the car, Kenzie shot him dead. I screamed in terror, but at the same time, the man in the passenger seat slumped over, also dead.However, that shot came from a sniper outside.The others were dumbfounded. The two men beside me immediately grabbed their heads and crouched down."Get out of the car!" Kenzie shouted loudly.The two men beside me acted as if they had been granted clemency, reaching to open the car door and shouting, "Don't shoot!" Then, they rolled out of the car, clutching their heads."Kenzie... release Chloe... save me!" Ernest wailed, his appearance filled with disdain.Kenzie's voice trembled. "Ernest...""

    "I really haven't seen anything. What are you talking about? My dad never told me about this!" I gritted my teeth, holding onto this secret, but it was clear they already knew about the existence of the survey maps."If you want your children to live, you better tell me the truth. Otherwise, I won't hesitate to show you no mercy. Let me tell you the truth, I didn't plan on leaving alive!" Kenzie's admission was chilling."Then if I die, bitch, I'll take you down with me. Oh... no, scratch that. It'll be you and your children. Haha… So, tell me!" She hit me with the back of the gun."Kenzie, you know how Atlas feels about me. He wouldn't let me be harmed. Do you really think he'd tell me too much? About those maps you mentioned, not only do I not know, but I haven't even seen them. “Even if they exist, my father would only tell him..." I appealed to Atlas's protective feelings toward me, a reasonable plea since most men would be protective of their loved ones, especially Atlas.Ju

    I adjusted my breathing and asked, "What do you want to know?"Although I asked this, my mind raced. "He's been back for some time now and has said too much... You've got to tell me, what exactly do you want to know?""Louis and Rory had a secret between them. What was it?" Kenzie said, her voice dripping with malice."They…" I deliberately gasped loudly, buying myself some time. I knew Atlas would come to rescue me. My priority was to protect my children."They... two of them had a... sizable sum of money..." Since that money was already in our hands, I thought it would be futile even if they knew.Kenzie completely released her grip and then shoved my head forward abruptly. My body plunged forward, but quick reflexes saved me as I grabbed onto the front seat, steadying myself."What money? How much?" Kenzie seemed very interested."The amount is significant, but I don't know exactly." I played coy with her. After all, everyone was interested in money matters.Of course, Kenzi

    The screech of brakes pierced the air, and a gray car halted right in front of me. Instinctively, I stepped back, unable to discern the make of the car before two individuals leaped out and swiftly pulled me into the vehicle. Simultaneously, a panicked cry sounded from behind me, "Chlo…"Before I could even assess the situation inside the car, it bolted forward."What do you want? Who are you people?" I struggled and shouted.Suddenly, a hand reached out from behind, gripping my neck tightly, and a chilling voice whispered, "Enough."With just those words, I instantly recognized the person. The voice was all too familiar.I steadied my nerves and spoke with feigned calmness, "Kenzie, you've got some nerve, attacking me in broad daylight. It seems like you're really desperate. What? Your plan failed, didn't it?"My neck was forcefully pulled backward. The sudden suffocation drove me to claw at the arm, choking me instinctively."Don't move! If you don't want to die so soon, beh

    Atlas's face darkened as he uttered a curt "Hmm" and hung up the phone.Turning to Tristan, he said, "Escort Mrs. Chloe back to the office."He looked at me and softened his tone, "You go back to the office first, I'll come to pick you up later." Atlas expressed a hint of apology."Okay." I nodded.Tristan escorted me to my office and gave me some instructions before leaving.Then, my phone rang. It was a call from Trinity. I quickly answered, "Chlo, I'm about to head to the airport, I’m going to Yare. Do you have any messages for the old lady?"Her sudden question caught me off guard. I really didn't know what message to convey. After all, the old lady of the Avila family to me was just an impression from a photo."No. Let's talk after everything's settled. I'll arrange a time to visit her," I said lightly.Although the travel ban for me had been lifted with the situation becoming clearer, Yare was in turmoil, and I was pregnant. I didn't want to make any promises to the old l

    Atticus carefully watched the agitated Mia as he sat in the wheelchair. He pulled out a document and held it out for the media to see."ATL Empire invested 10 billion in Echelon Group a month ago, intending to work together to build a new real estate development and construction field in Zydan. I regret to inform you that you’re no longer a significant shareholder in Echelon, Miss Mia."Even I was shocked by that investment certificate. I looked at Atlas, who seemed confident."To be more accurate, Echelon Group had already signed this agreement before I went to Celestis Island. The real largest shareholder of Echelon Group is ATL Empire. I’m just a partner."As you planned, the shares had long been diluted, but unfortunately, not by you, but by ATL Empire. But I still want to thank you for helping me remove the scum from Echelon Group and purifying Echelon’s ranks."Mia suddenly stood up and banged her fist on the table. She shouted, "Impossible!
