Beyond the Divorce Chapter 1256 No Chance of Survival
The way I spoke wasn't an act but my instinctive reaction. "I won't spare anyone who dares harm my loved ones, no matter who they are."Even Tristan looked at me in astonishment after I said that."Navi kills recklessly for his own gain. He targeted my father and harmed my foster parents. Why should I let him continue to live?” I pressed Millard aggressively."Hmph! How ridiculous. Besides, Navi's cunning. Do you think he doesn’t know about the fierce conflict within his ranks? Do you really think he values you by sending you to do this? You're overestimating yourself," I sneered. "He's just using you as a scapegoat, nothing more. You..."I gestured toward his henchmen, saying ominously, "You’re just his expendable pawns. He doesn't give a damn about your lives.”"Do you think you understand him? Aren't you being a little too arrogant?" Millard still struggled, but I was sure he was just looking for a more solid excuse for himself."Arrogant? Navi is just a rat in Bermuda. Even A

"Once Atlas finds out who dared lay a hand on me, he’ll deal with them. Navi can easily abandon you at a critical moment, saying it was his subordinate’s decision and had nothing to do with him. You can judge for yourself."After saying that, I calmly sat down. The smell of blood in the room and the tension of betting my life on this story I had made up made me feel exhausted and extremely uncomfortable.I glanced at Tristan. "What time is it?"I asked that question to maintain my composure, but to be honest, I really wanted to know the time. My mind was on fire, and I had no idea what was happening inside or what this ruthless killer, Millard, would do.Tristan raised his hand to check his watch. "It's 4 p.m., Mrs. Chloe.”I grew nervous. There were only three hours left until Xavier's operation.Millard looked at me calmly, but he seemed a little nervous himself. He scrutinized me intently, afraid I would deceive him."You can take me back to your base since Atlas is there. Yo

When I saw his eagerness and lack of composure, I quickly spoke up. "You've got it all wrong. I asked you to speak, so I can definitely help you."Anson wouldn't have left any leeway if it were impossible. He's old. He misses those who used to be around him, especially since you were once his adopted son and called him father." My tone left no room for doubt.But in my mind, I thought about it.I wasn't lying to him. Returning to the Huffman family would definitely not be an issue, but dealing with him afterward would be another problem. After all, he was a ruthless killer, and figuring out how to deal with him would be crucial.When he heard my words, Millard, who had been waiting anxiously, suddenly brightened up. I could even see a faint smile on his face.I continued calmly. "However, as the current adopted daughter of the Huffman family, I can't let the Huffman family take a wrong step because of me."So, how do you plan to return? With what identity? You’ll have to figure t

When the men heard what he had to say, they looked at each other in confusion, then turned to Millard.But none of them spoke.Millard glanced at them, growing impatient, and said a few more words before waving and turning away.Then, the room fell silent. Millard asked another one of his men who could speak our language, "What do you guys mean?"He glanced at the two bodies on the ground without hesitation and said, "We'll obey your command, Millard.”Just as those two were about to retreat to the door and turn around, Millard, who had been standing with his back to them, suddenly turned and fired two shots.The two men fell to the ground.His swift actions startled me, and Tristan quickly reassured me. "Don't be afraid, Mrs. Chloe."Millard's expression was peculiar as he shook his head and said, "I can't let you go back and plot against me."Millard was ruthless. We couldn’t leave him alive.I discreetly glanced at the other men, who all had pale faces and expressions of r

I knew exactly what to expect from him. Using him might benefit us in the short term, but he might become dissatisfied and resentful in the long run.That worried me, which was why I had spoken out earlier.I couldn't risk planting seeds of trouble for the Huffman family.As the car reached the gate, we entered the village without running into any obstacles, since Millard was with us, and headed straight to the main building.I saw Atlas's car parked there, so I knew he must be in the hall right now.When the car stopped, Millard cautioned, "I might be harsh to you later, Mrs. Chloe, so I’d like to apologize in advance for that. You need to give me a chance to find your father.""Don't worry about that. Finding him is the priority," I reassured Millard.I had taken a risk from the moment Millard claimed to be a member of the Huffman family. I was gambling, taking a chance.But at this point, I had no other choice.As we exited the car, Millard and his men pretended to push and

Atlas paid no mind to Navi's attitude. He strode over and pulled me into his arms. "Are you hurt?"Navi's men raised their guns, and the atmosphere tensed up. Millard stepped forward, pointing at Atlas. "Back off!"Atlas ignored him completely, his eyes filled with concern as he looked at me. I gave him a reassuring squeeze and shook my head. "I'm fine."Our eyes met, and we shared an unspoken understanding. It seemed he knew Millard's men had turned against him."Hand over the notebook!" One of Navi's guards demanded, pointing his gun at us.Cane immediately bellowed, "Step back!"The guy glanced at Cane, noticing smoke rising from the notebook's edges.Startled, he took a step back, aiming his gun at Cane. "Give me the notebook, or I'll blow your brains out!""Empty threats mean nothing," Cane scoffed."You dare to defy me on my turf?" Navi was furious, his eyes fixed on the notebook, fearing it might vanish into thin air.Even his lips trembled with fear as he hysterically

Just as her hand was about to touch me, Atlas kicked her away and quickly knocked me down onto the sofa.Two crisp gunshots echoed in the hall, then a dull thud. It was followed by a commanding roar, "Nobody moves!"The previously restless hall fell silent once again.I found myself pinned beneath Atlas's tall figure, utterly bewildered by what had just happened.As Atlas lifted me, I finally took in the scene before me. The sofa behind us had been pierced by bullets, leaving a gaping hole, indicating these were no ordinary bullets.I grabbed onto Atlas, looking at him with horror. He shook his head reassuringly. "I'm fine."It was then that I noticed the motionless big guy lying on the smooth ivory-colored marble floor beneath us. He lay there without a sound.A stream of blood flowed outward from a hole in his head, rapidly spreading toward my feet. It was a horrifying sight. I couldn't help but retch and moved back in horror."Don't be afraid." Atlas immediately held me cl

Stella seemed to sense my emotions and turned to me, "Chloe, stop deluding yourself. You'll never see him again. Just consider him dead from that plane crash years ago!"Then she laughed maniacally. "It was him who killed Louis and his wife. Atlas, you still treat her like she’s a treasure, but if it weren't for Rory's betrayal, how could Louis and Hana have died? Now you're even embracing the daughter of your father's murderer! You're a good son indeed.""Who are you to say all those things to me?" Atlas looked down at Stella, who was crawling on the ground nearby disdainfully."Hahaha... You'll regret it sooner or later. You want to find Rory? Forget about it. And Atlas, let me tell you, this time you might not be able to escape because... my people are arriving soon.""Then I'll see what your people are capable of," Atlas said nonchalantly."Since you're heartless to me, don't blame me for being indifferent to you. You're not the only one who can strategize, my dear cousin." St

Beyond the Divorce Chapter 1558 The Finale
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. Jared reached out his long arm and pulled her back. "Com
Beyond the Divorce Chapter 1557 Finally Finding It
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,
Beyond the Divorce Chapter 1556 I Know Where It Is
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
Beyond the Divorce Chapter 1555 Kenzie’s Death
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...""
Beyond the Divorce Chapter 1554 Heart in My Throat
"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
Beyond the Divorce Chapter 1553 Put a Gun to My Head
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
Beyond the Divorce Chapter 1552 A Sudden Kidnapping
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
Beyond the Divorce Chapter 1551 Across the Road
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
Beyond the Divorce Chapter 1550 Who is the Biggest Shareholder?
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! Atticus, are you playing me?""Y
