Beyond the Divorce Chapter 1539 Face-to-Face Silent Battle
After hearing her question, I smiled. "That's a tough question to answer.""Oh?" Mia narrowed her eyes at me. "Just say what you think. I believe honesty is the best policy.""You know that I've always been honest with you. You have a deeper understanding of human nature compared to us." I spoke frankly.Mia's face stiffened for a moment.I suppressed my smile and lightly said, "If I say I don't mind, it would be hypocritical. But if I say I do mind, it would make you uncomfortable since you’re my guest. It looks like you’re deliberately making things difficult for me."I could tell that my response left Mia in a dilemma.I had deliberately said that. Why did I have to pretend everything was fine and make her feel comfortable? She had already made blatant moves against me, but she was acting as if nothing had happened when she saw me. It was unreasonable for me to just smile and talk to her as if nothing was wrong.I used to think Arthur was too eager for success, but I hadn't e

As Mia scrutinized me, I continued, "Miss Mia, I've had a good impression of you since the day we first met. You may be arrogant, but I’ve never harbored any bias against you."These were my honest thoughts about Mia."But when you took the first step for the Tomlinson family, I no longer saw you as a myth. On the contrary, you were just an ordinary person, devoid of any wisdom."I was harsh, but I didn't intend to show her any respect at all."Of course, I don't know if your marriage was arranged at your father's behest or if you truly fell in love with Ernest and influenced your father. But the result was tragic regardless.""You're going too far, Chloe!" Mia straightened up and looked at me in anger.I smiled meaningfully and continued, "If it's the former, you have some of my sympathy, but if it's the latter, you're really awful! I have to say, you haven’t just ruined your father's future. You’ve also ruined the Morgan family’s future.""I never thought of you as a bad perso
Beyond the Divorce Chapter 1541 Another False Alarm
Atlas was waiting in front of the building. He came over when he spotted me, gave me a gentle embrace, and helped me to the car.As we passed by, people were looking at us. After all, I hadn't been to the company much lately. Seeing me visibly pregnant next to Atlas was quite a sight.However, I was calm. After all, I was legally married to him. After settling me in the car, Atlas got in, and the car drove off amidst the astonished gazes of the onlookers.He put his arm around me inside the car, and I leaned comfortably towards his chest. It felt nice."I showed no mercy!" I said to Atlas, and he understood perfectly what I meant.After all, his wife was an absolute trump card."I'll never forgive the Morgan family for what they did to Archie! No matter what, I am a legitimate daughter of the Beringer family," I said sternly. Then I asked, "Can you find a way for me to see Archie?"Atlas's lips curled as he said, "No one is allowed to visit during the isolation period."I was

I understood what my father meant. After all, the other half of the distribution map had yet to be found."So, we staged a play to provoke the Tomlinson family! But Leonard isn't the main leader of —there's someone else!" Atlas said."Someone else?""If Archie doesn't fall, they won't dare to act recklessly. Only by 'taking down' Archie, they would dare to act without restraint. Then we can capture the main leader." Atlas looked at me confidently and said, "And only Archie and I know about this plan.""What about Arthur Morgan?" I asked, feeling a bit puzzled.Archie mentioned Arthur with some anger, "He's a complete villain! Despite grooming him for so many years, he betrayed me in the face of self-interest! Our national security has frozen his overseas accounts.""...National security?" I was surprised as I did not expect that we had national security guarding us from behind."Grayson and Gavin are both soldiers of national security.""Ah..." I was utterly stunned, realizing
Beyond the Divorce Chapter 1543 Late Night Emergency Meeting
"Because there was an agreement between Grandpa William and Celine. She’d managed the Pierce family, and when she got married, it would be taken back by Grandpa William." Atlas sneered. "So, if Celine publicly acknowledges having a child, everything will be lost!"This is also why Celine has never dared to resolve her personal issues," Atlas said contemptuously."Moreover, Grandpa made a will for all of the Pierce family's assets when he verified that she was Kevin Ellis’s offspring. I became the sole heir of the Pierce family. When we went to see him that time, he handed over the real vault keys of the Pierce family to me.""No wonder Grandpa William had a private conversation with you!" I finally understood the reason behind it. "Is this also because Celine drugged Grandpa William?""Yes, as long as Grandpa is alive, she won't have a moment of peace. She's most afraid of Grandpa taking this action! So she has been racking her brains, trying everything to make Grandpa let go." Atl

Mia's call finally came through. As soon as I answered, she said, "Chloe, I heard you're planning to acquire Echelon Group. Is that true or just a rumor?""What's the matter? If it's said online that I'm acquiring it, then I will! Can't let these people complain for nothing!" I replied with an annoyed tone while munching on strawberries.My tone displeased Mia a bit. She couldn't contain her impatience and said, "One should have self-awareness. What capital do you have to acquire Echelon Group? Atticus is currently missing. Who gave you the right to announce the acquisition?""Mia," I smiled. "How did you know Atticus is missing? Is that not what you did? What does it have to do with me?"My dream has always been to acquire Echelon Group. I've had this goal ever since I established Tanum! I aim to make the company the most outstanding and prominent—to take over Echelon Group! Haha! " I said, sounding bold and arrogant.I put down the strawberry in my hand and continued, "I got a s

I chuckled and said into the phone, "Well then, I'll hang up, Mia! The acquisition of Echelon is a done deal. I'll make it happen whether or not I have the capital. I have no choice since I'm doing it for someone else's sake. “Once it's done, I'll have all the capital I need. Don't worry, okay?"After saying that, I hung up the phone.Everyone around me burst into laughter. Lauren said, "That response was priceless!"I disdainfully dropped the phone and said, "Really? She's the major shareholder, after all!"As soon as I said this, everyone understood what I meant, and they all burst into laughter again.Two days later, there was a meeting in the conference room on the tenth floor of the Echelon Building.My team and I arrived at the Echelon Building on time. The entrance was swarmed with people, crowded by the reporters, making it impossible to pass through.Atlas had made arrangements for today's event. He had divided the reporters into two sides and stationed them at the en

Everyone suddenly looked at the door, but I casually focused on the uneasy shareholders below.I could see the complex emotions in the eyes of the shareholders at that one sentence.Some had a sudden sparkle in their eyes.Some furrowed their brows.Some immediately turned their gaze toward me, seemingly observing my expression.A few others were surprised and stared at the woman who was walking in briskly.I remained calm and composed. I sat steadily in my seat without looking back at the newcomers.I didn't even look up when I heard footsteps entering the conference room.The group walked to the spacious conference table opposite me, appearing directly in my line of sight and taking up positions opposite me.I smiled and looked at Mia. She had walked in confidently like a shining star and sat opposite me. She arched her eyebrows and stared straight at me."Sorry for the unexpected encounter, Ms. Chloe. But you’re not qualified to preside over or participate in this Echelon

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...""

"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
