Our laughter ceased abruptly as we turned around and realized that our men had left us alone earlier. It was late, and evidently, both men couldn't bear to wait any longer and had come to urge us to return to our respective rooms.

I exchanged a glance with Ivanna, stuck out my tongue playfully, and quickly got up. We both pretended to be obedient wives and hurried off to bed.

The next day..

We all slept in until nearly noon. I stretched lazily as I got up and noticed Atlas working away in the room.

Feeling guilty, I quickly got out of bed and nestled into his arms. Yawning, I asked, "When did you get up?"

He set aside his laptop, looking at me like I was a lazy cat. "Did you sleep well?"

"Yeah, I guess so," I replied with fading enthusiasm. Then, I said, "I want to head over to Jaxford after breakfast. Since we’ve secured phase two of that project, we’ll need a substantial amount of materials.

"Jaxford has made a new automatic security door, and I plan to use it for projects in

    Brenton immediately responded, "Of course, that's great! Who wouldn't want food, drinks, and a private plane to travel in? Yes, all of you?His words instantly brought laughter. "Sure! It's like we're taking an early vacation!"Judy chuckled and said, "If Michelle finds out about this, she'll be jealous. She posts about every little thing in her life on Instagram. Taking a private jet can let her brag with her friends!"This caused another round of laughter.Just then, the butler informed us that lunch was ready, and Beatrice invited everyone to join her for a meal.The Keller family's cuisine was exceptional.I told everyone during lunch, "After eating, feel free to explore. Gerby is known for its beautiful scenery!"Theo immediately volunteered, "I can be the tour guide! What about you guys?""Beatrice and I have some errands to run. Those who don't want to go out can take a nap. Rest up, and we'll have a fun evening later.""Alvin just called and said he'll come to pick us

    I glanced at Ivanna and then towards the staircase, whispering, "Bryon left a testament for Beatrice before he died. It's in my possession now.""...Oh?" Ivanna was somewhat shocked, staring at me with wide eyes and a gaping mouth. "Does Beatrice know?""Of course not! I can't possibly mention it to her now. I'll have to wait for the right moment." I whispered back.Ivanna asked, "Did you listen to its contents?"I shook my head, "No. It's private, how could I intrude? But I guess it can't be something bad, otherwise the police wouldn't have passed it on!""What's the use? He's already done it. What was he thinking when he laid hands on his daughter?" Ivanna was furious. "He..."Just as Ivanna was about to say something, footsteps were heard from the staircase. Ivanna immediately held back what she was about to say.Beatrice had changed into a light green shirt and white pants, looking elegant as she descended the stairs.Her formerly chubby cheeks had turned more angular, and

    I called Finn as soon as the car started moving, first to find out if he was at the factory and then to let him know we were headed to Jaxford.Upon arrival at Jaxford, Finn was already waiting at the gate. When he saw our car entering the yard, he strode over.As soon as Beatrice got out of the car, Finn's eyes couldn't settle anywhere. His goofy expression was quite amusing. This guy had fallen for her so hard. While exchanging pleasantries, Cameron came over. "Ms. Chloe. I saw you yesterday, but didn't get a chance to talk."I knew they had all gone to court yesterday, but it was in such a hurry that nobody could greet each other.Cameron then looked at Beatrice. "Ms. Beatrice, you're looking quite well!""Uncle, thank you to your family for taking care of me!" Beatrice bowed politely to Mr. Cameron."Oh my! Ms. Beatrice, you're too kind. There's not much we can do, but we're here whenever you need us!" Mr. Cameron said sincerely."The Keller family matter is a big deal for

    After finishing the call, I looked at Ivanna and teased her, "You’re a soothsayer."Ivanna disdainfully replied, "I am not a soothsayer, it's my thorough understanding of these people. The grand opening ceremony of Arkadia signifies a certain level. It’s no brainer to know who will be attending this ceremony,"With her current popularity, having her to attend the opening ceremony is something other businesses would eagerly seek. You're saving a large appearance fee!" Ivanna added sarcastically, "Would she miss such a great opportunity?""Haha! Does Atlas lack this appearance fee?" I asked Ivanna with a contemptuous glance."But she came with sincerity. Can you just turn her away?" Ivanna shrugged and spread her hands.I picked up the phone and called Arnold to ask him to pick up Poppy.Arnold casually said, "No problem, leave it to me. Just give me her contact information."After giving instructions, I felt relaxed and said to Beatrice and Ivanna, "Let's go home."Back at the K

    Those people burst into laughter, "Are you still trying to say that? You're the one who's affecting the appetite of our whole group, and you're playing the victim first!""Did I play the victim first? Are you guys even in a position to say that? How can I eat peacefully?" Everyone let out a loud laugh. At first, Atlas had always been distant and icy. But now, a few bold ones teased Atlas."Mr. Atlas, um... is this your usual state?" Brenton was always the one with the sharp tongue. He looked at Atlas and said, "By being like this, are you leaving us with any dignity?"Atlas smiled slightly, contrary to his usual demeanor, instantly feasting the female classmates’ eyes on his beauty."If a man can't care for his wife properly, what else can he do well? This is just basic things!" Atlas looked at me indulgently. "Besides, feeding my eldest baby benefits the youngest one, too, so I have to do it well.""... Ah... Chloe, are you... are you pregnant?"

    "Chloe, is what Mr. Atlas said true? Have you known each other since childhood? Isn't Mr. Atlas a foreigner? How could you have known each other since childhood?" Someone raised a question."My goodness! Is this a confession?"Brenton had a bitter expression on his face as he looked at Atlas and said, "How could you do this? You’re attractive, financially successful, and are very perceptive on top of that... Mr. Atlas, you're making things impossible for us!"Everyone burst into laughter again.Brenton continued, "You have all the skills every man should possess. How are the rest of us supposed to live? It's hard enough for men these days, and if someone like you won’t give us any room to breathe... I'm struggling here!""It comes naturally to me. You'll just have to work hard later!" Atlas fed me a shrimp again while saying, "You need to live your life to the fullest!""..."Suddenly, another male student said, "You seem to be taking things easy, Ivanna. How about introducing y

How could we dare ask you for anything?""The daring ones aren't here today!" someone chimed in.Everyone burst into laughter again, knowing that he was referring to Michelle.Another person raised an objection. "What you said is not right. Everyone runs into difficulties at some point. It's not like we're asking you to stir up trouble for no reason and then ask these two gentlemen to clean up after you. That's just asking for trouble."Everyone nodded in agreement. I knew deep down that he was speaking to everyone's heart.The classmate continued, "But if we need to overcome any difficulties, they’ll stand up for us, right?"Jared nodded gently, then looked at Atlas.Atlas said, "That's right!"This classmate continued enthusiastically, "You see, I'm right!

    "I was afraid of this. What do you mean, once bitten, twice shy? You just misjudged him!" Ivanna poked directly at Beatrice's weak spot. "For a guy, his appearance, family background, social status... none of that matters. As long as his character is solid and he genuinely cherishes you, you’ll experience a different life. Really, Beatrice, trust me!""Looks like you’ve experienced a great awakening," I teased."Aren't you the same?" Ivanna asked. "Beatrice knows about your legendary love life. Could you be where you are now if it weren't for Atlas? He spent eighteen years looking for you and never gave up. Aren’t you happy?”Both Beatrice and I burst into laughter. I retorted, "So what you mean is, when you encounter the wrong person like I did, you should cut your losses, strengthen your resolve, and fight on bravely?""What's wrong with that? Don't focus on the process, look at the result!" Ivanna said emphatically. "A good nail does not fear the hammer. You just need to have a

    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.

    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!
