The man lying on the hospital bed before me was frail and weak. He was nothing but skin and bones.

He resembled a skeleton. His hair was gray, his cheeks were sunken, and only his cheekbones remained prominent, making him look much older than his actual age. But it was clear that he had been handsome. You could see it amidst his pallid complexion.

His condition made it clear that he had been confined underground for a long time. Coupled with malnutrition, he basically looked half-dead.

I couldn't imagine how he had survived these past twenty years.

He still hadn't regained consciousness. If it weren’t for his faint breaths, I wouldn’t have believed he was still alive.

I stood there awkwardly, unsure of what to do, my emotions running high.

Atlas embraced me and gently guided me forward. "This is your father. The examination results aren't out yet. Let's wait."

I turned to Atlas. "Is this really my father?"

"Yes, it’s your father who loves you deeply." Atlas's gaze was serious

    There was a moment of silence, and I anxiously gripped the phone in my hand. Truth be told, I had been afraid that Anson wouldn't pick up or would say something hurtful.In many ways, I had been lying to Millard before.But this call was real. There had been no prior communication, and I wasn't sure if Anson would understand my hints.Anson’s silence made me incredibly nervous. I just wanted Millard to receive affirmation from Anson in his last moments.Once again, I was betting on Anson's kindness.But I didn't expect Anson to react like this. After a brief pause, he immediately said, "Millard? Did you really find him? Where is he?""Dad, listen, Millard wants to talk to you," I said, switching the phone to speaker mode and holding it up to Millard's mouth.On the phone, Anson called out again. "Millard?"Millard seemed to gain some strength, as if he had been injected with a stimulant. "Dad... I'm sorry. Dad, I was wrong.”His weak voice traversed time and space, reaching An

    When I woke up, the sharp scent of hospital disinfectant filled my nose. Groggily turning over, I collided with a warm body.I quickly opened my eyes to find Atlas lying beside me. Staring at him in confusion, I struggled to grasp what was happening.He looked at me with a tender smile and gently kissed me. "Good morning, sleepyhead. Are you finally awake?”Still dazed, I mumbled, "What time is it?""It's 7," he replied softly."7?" I blinked, suddenly realizing it was evening. But why did it still seem like dawn outside?"7 p.m.," Atlas clarified.I gasped, glancing outside and then back at him. "It's 7 p.m.? Then... where's Dad?" Uncertain, I asked, trying to make sense of it all."He woke up briefly, then dozed off again. The doctor says he's finally getting some real rest," Atlas informed me in a gentle tone.Relief flooded through me. So, it was all real—my biological father was truly back.With a surge of happiness, I sat up abruptly, ready to get out of bed. Atlas's

    Arnold strutted in with indifference, voicing his reproach for Atlas. "I told you that you shouldn't have let her go there. Look at how precarious it turned out. It’s almost cost my nephew's life.""Atlas, let me tell you, you're too arrogant. If something were to happen, you'd regret it big time, wouldn't you? Besides..."Atlas and I exchanged a glance, both of us chiming in unison, "Enough."Seeing the synchrony between us, Arnold pointed at me angrily. "You're just heartless."I laughed and collapsed into Atlas's embrace. At that moment, I felt incredibly happy. It was no wonder I couldn’t control the urge to vomit when I smelled blood at Navi’s base.Just thinking about it made my stomach churn, and it felt like that bloody odor was assaulting me again."Ugh..."I clamped my hand over my mouth, feeling the sweat beads forming on my forehead.Atlas immediately tensed up, swiftly jumping out of bed to carry me to the bathroom, where I retched.He gently patted my back as he

    "I have a plan." Atlas asserted confidently."What plan?" Arnold asked."I'll tell you tonight.""Okay." Arnold nodded.I felt uneasy. I put down the spoon in my hand and looked at Atlas. "Atlas, aren’t you getting too comfortable at deceiving me? Has it become a routine for you now?"Atlas's smile was charming as he sat down behind me. "No way, I can't keep it from you this time. You need to know our entire plan to work with us. But with so many people around in the hospital, we need to be careful."His reasoning seemed sound, and after a moment of hesitation, I glanced at the door and nodded. "Alright then. But remember what you said."After finishing my meal, I pushed the small table away. "I need to go see my dad."Atlas, seeing that I wasn't pressing further, accompanied me to my father's room. Luckily, he had just woken up. When he saw us enter, his eyes lit up, and he seemed to regain some spirit. "Stella, you're awake."His voice was hoarse. I quickly took a cotton s

    After the nurse left and closed the door, Atlas spoke solemnly, "Dad, rest assured. Everyone here is on our side."When sitting up, my father appeared even more frail, which tugged at my heartstrings.He looked at us with adoring eyes."Celine orchestrated the past events in collaboration with the leader of the organization. Later, Celine bribed Clark. To give that plane crash a perfect and logical conclusion, I was replaced by one of the organization's men to make everything look seamless," my father explained."How did you find out they swapped you in the plane crash?" I asked, puzzled. "At first, I had no idea. It was later when I saw the reports of the event, that I found out about it. But by then, the crash had happened long ago." My father's expression was despondent as he spoke. "Later, I got confirmation from Clark.""How did you know about Mom's death?" I asked. Though I didn't want to bring up that topic, it was important information we needed."Before sending me to N

    My father wasn't surprised by our reactions at all.He continued solemnly, " This mineral distribution map represents the global mining landscape. We could control three-fifths of the world's total mineral resources if we could implement mining operations in Torado alone. That doesn’t include mining operations in other continents."His words left us both speechless.Immediately, Atlas asked, "So when Archie mentioned that my father wanted to discuss something with him before his passing, it was about the BZ plan? He said he was in an important meeting at the time and couldn't make it to Foswood as my father had suggested. “They planned to meet at another time. But before that meeting could take place, the tragic news of my parents' deaths in the plane crash arrived. Archie has always regretted that. He said my father sounded really serious at the time.”"Yes, that was the plan. Do you know why your father focused his business in Torado and ended up in Foswood?" "To leverage res

    "Since it was a long-term and highly confidential plan, we didn’t dare discuss it with anyone else. A lot of businessmen would have been eager to get involved. But it would bring not only wealth but also disaster to many.” My father was not exaggerating.Even now, any mention of mineral development would make many people prick up their ears and become sensitive to the situation."Only the two of us knew about this plan, and only we were involved in planning every step meticulously."But somehow, the news leaked at some point." My father frowned. "I never figured out where the problem was, even after so many years.""Why do you say that?" I asked, intrigued.I noticed Atlas had been deep in thought. I was certain he understood the details."One day, Celine got her father to negotiate with Louis out of the blue. She said she could put the Pierce family’s business aside, but she wanted to do something of her own. You know what that was? She wanted to manage the mining sites in Urosi

    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.

    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.

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!
