Beyond the Divorce Chapter 1411 Eerie Dreamscape
As I reached the doorway, someone opened the door for me, and I stepped inside.The house was grand. It gleamed white like something out of a fairy tale palace. The landscaping in the courtyard was beautifully manicured, with a veranda at one end and a white swing gently swaying in the breeze.I could almost see a girl in a red dress sitting on it, her laughter echoing in the courtyard, while a handsome boy pushed her higher on the swing. She soared like a bird, high into the air.The boy was handsome, exuding an aura of elegance.The girl excitedly shouted, "Higher. Can you make me go higher?"As I turned around, I saw a gentle woman sitting on the veranda, watching us from afar.I heard the girl's voice ring out, "Mommy, am I high enough?"She just smiled, not saying a word.The woman got up to leave, and I quickly looked away from the swing, hurrying to catch up. I felt a genuine fondness for her.She was just ahead of me, heading toward the villa's greenhouse. It was a lar

I felt a dull ache in my head, causing me to toss and turn uncomfortably. It was as if I feared the wax might drip onto my hands.In a haze, I murmured, "Mommy, does it hurt?"She said something, and her voice echoed persistently in my ears.A warm hand gently clasped mine, guiding me through winding paths, past a towering tree surrounded by vibrant flowers, until we reached a small tree."What kind of tree is this, Mommy?" I looked up at the short tree."An almond eucalyptus tree. It’s the tallest tree, do you remember?" Holding a package, she began to dig into the soil under the tree.My head throbbed. I tossed and turned in bed."Chlo, wake up." A gentle voice called out to me.I mumbled, trying to open my eyes, but I couldn’t."Chlo... wake up."The voice grew clearer.Yet, my mother's voice continued to echo, "It's the tallest tree. Remember this, okay?""Chlo, wake up." I felt a large hand gently tapping my cheeks.Startled, I abruptly opened my eyes.My head was po

The car sped through the streets, and I had no idea where we were heading. But with Atlas by my side, I felt reassured. As long as he was with me, I wasn't afraid, even if we were at the ends of the earth.After about 40 minutes, the car stopped in front of a house, and we all got out.The warm air here was no different from Foswood, making me feel at ease. If it weren't for the different house and garden, I would have thought we were back at Pleca Park.Atlas held my hand as we walked in.An elderly woman came out to greet us, exclaiming, "Mr. Atlas, you're finally back!”The woman welcomed him with open arms, and he strode over and embraced her while I stood by, feeling a bit awkward.The old lady seemed ecstatic, patting his back and tearing up. "It's been so long since I've seen you."Atlas didn't rush to pull away from her embrace, letting her pat his back. It was clear they shared a special bond, and the old lady had deep affection for Atlas.Finally, Atlas stood up and s

I knew Atlas seemed cold on the outside, but deep down, he was warm-hearted. He cherished family above all else.Perhaps family love was something scarce in his life. In the Pierce family, it was practically non-existent, which explained his distant attitude toward his grandfather.All they showed toward their kin was indifference and cruelty.As I looked at the elderly woman before me, I softly called out, "Sandy."She instantly broke down, embracing me once again. "Ms. Stella, you've grown up so much! I’m so happy that I get to see you again.”I felt choked up too, and I was deeply regretting not remembering anything. I hated not understanding her significance in my life.Atlas quickly pulled me away, telling the nanny, "You say you're not old? You cry at the drop of a hat. That's a sign of ageing."Sandy chuckled at his words. "You just want me to get old, don’t you?”"You still have kids to take care of, so don't make her cry. She's pregnant now.” Atlas sounded somewhat smu

Atlas escorted me back to the master bedroom upstairs while softly saying, "Though it's not our original home, this is my own place. Welcome home, honey.”Honestly, I was deeply touched like never before at that moment.I belonged here, yet I hadn’t been around for so many years. Now, I had finally returned, and I was determined to reclaim what was rightfully mine.For some reason, I was really looking forward to seeing Celine again tomorrow.Atlas stayed with me as I finished washing up, and we fell asleep in each other's arms. I felt no sense of unfamiliarity here at all.The next day, as I woke up, the sound of gentle rain greeted my ears.I touched the space beside me, finding it empty and the bed already cold.When did he leave? I had slept so deeply that I had no idea.After getting up and freshening up, I changed into a comfortable long dress I had brought with me and walked out of the room quietly.We had arrived too late last night to see the surroundings clearly, but

"Mr. David sold this place after Mrs. Nancy passed away, but the buyer went bankrupt. These two courtyards were abandoned for many years, and rumors started spreading about ghosts haunting the place. But..." Sandy shrugged.Then, she continued, "Mr. Atlas doesn't believe in that nonsense, so he bought them all back.""Why would people say that?" I asked."Well, some malicious people wanted to stir up trouble, but it was all for the best. The properties eventually returned to Mr. Atlas's hands despite being abandoned for over a decade," Sandy looked proud."He's not afraid of anything supernatural. This was his grandmother's property, after all. What's there to be afraid of?" She laughed contentedly."After Mr. Atlas took over, he renovated the place. These courtyards are quite spacious. When the weather clears up, I'll show you around. It's beautiful here. “Mr. Atlas used to bring you here when you two were younger. Afterward, Mr. Atlas found me and asked me to look after this p

Although I had just heard Sandy's account of the mansion's history, I didn't stop him. I wanted to hear his perspective on the story."After my great-grandpa's business flourished, he built our family's home, and this place was abandoned. After grandma passed away, this place was transferred to someone else for a time due to financial reasons. “Unfortunately, the buyers later fell on hard times and couldn't sell it. The mansion on the left side of this property also belonged to grandma. It was abandoned for over a decade. After stabilizing the situation, I bought it back. However, the exterior still remained in its original style."I looked around, seeing a different scenery through the rain."After we eat, we'll go to the family home. It's the rainy season in Nocturnia at this time of year. You used to hate this weather when you were young."I still disliked rainy days."Is the family home far from here?" I asked Atlas."Not really. It's on the other side of the hill," Atlas r

This must be David's bedroom. A wooden board divided the interior.In front of the board, there was a set of redwood tables and chairs, with three seats on each side.David, who was wearing a white suit, was sitting on the main redwood armchair.As we approached him, I could see that although he was thin, he didn't seem frail, which contradicted the news we had heard on the phone, that he had been gravely ill.Atlas’s expression was cold, indicating that he had anticipated this.However, I felt unsettled. They had claimed he was critically ill, but everything seemed fine. What was the point of that deception? Why was Celine so eager for us to return? What was her motive?Thankfully, Atlas remained composed, indicating he had anticipated this.But that woman had said things weren't looking good when he called her. I had clearly heard her, and I knew she wasn't our nanny.David was the first to speak, setting down his teacup and looking at us as we approached."If it weren't for

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
