Beyond the Divorce Chapter 240 The Strange Previous Injury
I realized I was in the hospital when I awoke."Are you awake? Do you feel any discomfort?" An attractive voice sounded, and I turned to see Atlas."How did I end up here?" I asked weakly. My memory of recent events was hazy.He pressed the call button, and the doctor entered to reexamine me. He asked, "Do you feel any discomfort?""No, I’m just exhausted and want to sleep," I replied.Dylan entered with a large paper bag and said, "Doctor, here are her X-rays. Please take a look."The doctor examined several X-ray films and asked me, "Miss, how long ago did you break your collarbone?"I stared at the doctor in disbelief and asked, "Are you talking about me?""Yes, from the X-rays, you have an old collarbone fracture. You should be careful with that area as it’s prone to issues. Besides that, you're fine. Thankfully, the car wasn't going too fast, so there was no major harm. You can just go home and rest."The doctor's words shocked me. I tried to explain, “I’ve never had a bo
Beyond the Divorce Chapter 241 A Silent Resolve
I entered the house, and my parents were still awake, waiting for me.When my mom saw how tired I looked, she grabbed my bag and asked, "Why are you so late? Have you eaten? Why do you look so pale?""I haven't eaten yet, Mom. I'm starving!" It's true what they say—a mother's child is always her treasure. No matter how old you are, as long as your mother is by your side, you're still her child."Alright, I'll heat some food for you!" "Dad, I'm going to change my clothes!" After saying that, I went upstairs. In truth, I longed for my daughter and went straight to Ava's room. Seeing her sleep so peacefully was heartwarming. Her chubby little legs were poking out from the blanket. I smiled and tucked them back in.She turned over, and her little hand grabbed my shirt. It was as if she sensed something and slowly opened her sleepy eyes. With a sweet smile, she called out, "Mommy!"At that moment, I felt more fulfilled than I ever had. What else could I possibly wish for? I h
Beyond the Divorce Chapter 242 A Special New Year's Day
Suddenly, I noticed a car parked outside the main door, and my heart skipped a beat. The soft night light in the room would show my silhouette, so I pulled the curtains and turned off the light.I leaned against the window, straining to hear any sounds from outside. My eyes grew teary, and I cursed myself for this display of emotion. Wasn't it better for us to stay in our own worlds?Only the faint sound of the car moving away could be heard, and a few tears escaped. I quickly pulled the curtains open and looked outside, but all I could see were the fading red tail lights disappearing from view. My heart tightened.He left even though it was late. He did not come in eagerly like he used to.I slowly drew the curtains again and sat blankly on the bed. Eventually, I got under the covers and tried to sleep.It was already close to noon the next day when I woke up. I woke up close to noon the next day, feeling refreshed. After getting ready, I went downstairs for lunch. I considered
Beyond the Divorce Chapter 243 Alone in a Crowded Room
This New Year was unlike any other before. I stayed home, enjoying the joyful atmosphere of a large family gathering filled with laughter and chatter. Little Ava became the center of attention.Even Ivanna joined us after just a few days away. Our family showcased their culinary skills, preparing their signature dishes and creating a festive atmosphere with bright lights in the yard.During the day, I pretended to be carefree like everyone else, but at night, my thoughts couldn't help but drift to that person. Had he left town? He hadn't called, and I didn't reach out. I wanted to test my self-control.Fortunately, I had Ivanna and Lauren to keep me company. Ivanna quietly whispered, "Harmony seems to be fading. She's been saying she spent Christmas overseas, but it's all a lie. She's my artist. I know she worked on a shoot the whole time. Is Atlas getting tired of her?"Lauren quickly nudged her and shot her a meaningful look.I calmly responded, "It’s none of my concern. I’ve
Beyond the Divorce Chapter 244 A Delayed Confession
As I rushed out and ran toward the row of potted plants, I found nothing there. I stood there in confusion, knowing it wasn't just my imagination.Ryan suddenly appeared beside me. "Want some company for a walk?"I looked up at his face. He was smiling warmly. A pang of guilt washed over me, so I nodded. "Sure."We walked together through the yard, side by side. Ryan made me feel at ease, never once mentioning why I had dashed out in the first place.He chatted about our school days. Suddenly, I asked him, "Ryan, why can't I remember my childhood?""Which part are you referring to? If it's something related to me, I'll help you recall it." He looked at me with a smile.I shook my head. "No, it's from when I was younger. I remember everything with you, like when we first met in the teacher's office. My dad asked Mr. Thomas to tutor me in physics.""Ah, yes, in Mr. Thomas's office. You were wearing your school uniform and looked different from the others. Your hair was dark, your

I was caught off guard by his words and boldly retorted, "You're being sarcastic, aren't you?""Your turn." He looked at me meaningfully."My turn?" I suddenly felt nervous. This guy was trying to trap me."Is it because of the news online?" He was surprisingly perceptive. I thought he only buried himself in work, but he had quite a high emotional intelligence.He actually paid attention to the trending news."It's nothing to do with me. Many things are out of our hands. Swimming to shore rather than struggling in a whirlpool with no end in sight is preferable." I collected my thoughts. He had always been like a brother, irreplaceable."Ryan, I know you've been good to me. You're an irreplaceable older brother, whether it was in high school or now. As long as you're around, I feel secure."I've been feeling lost these past few days during my break. I always thought I was clear-headed, but I can't seem to move on. I'll focus on getting the company in order first before making
Beyond the Divorce Chapter 246 Mad Dog
Ryan and I turned to see where the sound came from and saw a few people hurrying back into the yard. We exchanged a smile, and he said, "Uh-oh, they caught us!"I chuckled and playfully took his arm. "Let's go home."Once inside the house, everyone acted as if nothing had happened. However, we knew they were curious. Laughter and chatter filled the room once again.Vacations always seemed to pass quickly because they were full of joy and laughter. Before we knew it, the vacation ended, and it was time to return to work. This time, we were swamped.Ryan's parents had returned to their small town with plans to reunite for the next celebration.Ryan and I had developed a better understanding of each other. We had different roles this time: he was in charge of the projects, I handled the suppliers, and Grayson assisted Ryan with his projects and market analysis.I hadn't received any news from Atlas in a while. I avoided thinking about him and ignored anything concerning him. But dee
Beyond the Divorce Chapter 247 Acting Together
Melanie rushed toward me while Matthew followed with a displeased expression. "What are you doing? Be careful!""Chloe! What were you laughing at?" She pointed at me.I acted shocked and looked at her thoughtfully. "Are you asking me? We were just chatting about how there are so many dogs nowadays. If you don't leash them, they bite people. Rabies vaccinations are in high demand. Haven't you heard?"The woman beside us suppressed her laughter and nodded. "Exactly! Mad dogs are running wild these days. It's hard to guard against them."Melanie grimaced angrily.Suddenly, the doctor’s assistant called, "Chloe Hartz, you can come in now!"I stood up with my paperwork and approached the nurse. I handed her my documents before entering the examination room.I smiled when I entered, which delighted the doctor performing the ultrasound. "Oh my, a beautiful lady like you with such a sunny disposition. I've been seeing frowns all day, and you're the only one who comes in with such radian

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
