Beyond the Divorce Chapter 281 The Accident's Culprit
There was a cacophony of noises around me. I felt pain coursing through my entire body, and the intense vibrations of the impact were unbearable. The screeching of brakes, the pungent smell of disinfectant, and the ringing phone all assaulted my senses.I let out a startled cry, "Ah!""She's awake! She's awake!"I gasped heavily, feeling as though the surroundings were suffocating me."Chlo, are you okay? Chlo..."I turned to the voices and saw my mother's tearful and anxious eyes. Lauren was by her side, supporting her arm. My father stood nearby with red-rimmed eyes."Mom...""How do you feel, Chlo? Can you hear me?" Ivanna's voice filled with concern.I slowly turned my head to look at her, finding an expression of sheer terror on her face. Grayson and other relatives were gathered behind her, equally concerned."I didn't die?" I asked, opening my mouth. "I didn't die?" I asked, the words more like an attempt at humor, but they left a bitter taste in my mouth as soon as I

Dylan turned and disappeared from the hospital room.Finally, the doctors advised me to rest and observe. I had to tell the medical staff if I felt uncomfortable. Then they left the room. My head was still in a whirl, and my body ached. Ava wanted to come closer, but Carol held her back, soothing her, "Ava, don't touch Mommy, it'll hurt!""Mom, Dad, you should go home! I want your handmade pasta, Mom," I murmured. "Ryan, take Mom and Dad back. If everything's fine tomorrow, I'll come home!"Ryan looked at me. He had been watching from a distance, not saying a word. However, his eyes had been fixed on me, full of anxiety.When he heard me say this, he immediately responded, "Alright, we'll go back and make you some pasta! We'll bring them over a little later!""Okay!" I smiled at him. "I'm fine!"Ryan left my hospital room with Ava and my parents. Truthfully, I didn't really want pasta, but I didn't want them to worry about me knowing too much.They had only left briefly when
Beyond the Divorce Chapter 283 Put On a Show
Lauren's words left me feeling somewhat dazed."The car was completely wrecked. You were only saved because the airbags deployed and protected you. Plus, the truck hit the back of your car. You narrowly escaped a catastrophe!" Lauren continued, her voice filled with concern. "If the timing had been just a bit off... It's horrifying even to think about!"As I listened to Lauren's account, I recalled that desperate press of the pedal. If the doctor's assessment had been accurate, a slightly delayed reaction could have left me paralyzed, or worse, I might never have seen my family again.It was shocking to see the accident report photos later. Stella visited my ward two days later, and I admired her composure.Stella entered, accompanied by a bodyguard, holding a big bouquet and carrying a basket of fruits. She walked in with the confidence of someone who owned the place.I stared at her in disbelief, but she looked genuinely concerned as she quickly approached my bedside."Chlo,
Beyond the Divorce Chapter 284 The Culprit Is Here
I was taken aback as Atlas walked in with a stern expression. It seemed he was not surprised to find Stella here.Stella had been sitting by my bedside with her back to the door. When she heard someone approaching, she turned around. Seeing Atlas, she appeared genuinely surprised. "Atlas, you're here?"She quickly stood up and positioned herself by Atlas's side. She held onto his arm. "I came to check on Chloe. Why didn't you tell me it was this serious?"Atlas's gaze remained focused on her delicate face, and the corners of his mouth twitched."This isn't the best place for you to be. Dylan, take Ms. Stella back!"Stella probably didn't expect Atlas to be so straightforward in front of us. She quickly said, "Atlas, I just got here! I wanted to be with you—""Dylan!" Atlas's words were clear and unwavering, leaving no room for doubt.Stella's face paled slightly, her hand still gripping Atlas's arm.Dylan stepped forward. "Ms. Stella, I'll take you back!"Stella hesitated mome
Beyond the Divorce Chapter 285 The Two Sides of Stella
As my mother and Lauren exited the room, Atlas sat beside me. He seemed to be carefully choosing his words.Inside, I felt conflicted, a sense of injustice simmering in a corner of my heart. Seeing Stella, still radiant and carefree didn't sit right with me.From the moment this woman entered my view, I could sense her subtle schemes against me. Even that first dinner together felt calculated. How could I possibly stay calm?Besides that, I had a persistent feeling of being trapped, which was probably connected to her. Otherwise, Atlas wouldn't have let the matter rest without investigating.As soon as Atlas sat down, he held my hand."Don't let Stella bother you. I know what's going on.""How exactly did you know?" I spoke candidly. We had reached a point where there was no need to pretend nothing had happened.Atlas's intense gaze remained fixed on my face, his attractive features distracting me for a moment. I didn't want to press him further. I understood that his perspectiv
Beyond the Divorce Chapter 286 The Reason She Came to Say Hello
I looked at Atlas curiously, so he asked, “What’s up?”“Is there a reason you and Harmony are going to Jitador?” I blushed slightly.He smirked with a mischievous glint in his eyes. “Do you have an issue with that?”“Really?” I widened my eyes and pouted with displeasure.“I intentionally leaked the information to get her to cooperate,” he grinned and looked at me as if he had control over everything. “Are you jealous? Does that mean you’re in love with me?”Before I could respond, Ivanna barged in. She saw us and quickly turned to leave, but I shouted for her to return, “Hey, you’re already here, so why leave?”Ivanna awkwardly turned and said, “I-I don’t want to intrude.”Atlas stood up, saying, “That’s okay. I have something to attend to.”Immediately after, the meal he ordered arrived. He instructed Ivanna to watch over me before leaving the ward. Outside, he arranged for security in my room to ensure no one could approach me.A week later, the doctor discharged me from th

I glanced at her and nearly laughed. After composing myself, I asked, “Oh, I see. Anything else?”She did not expect my reaction and looked surprised. She looked me up and down before asking, “Aren’t you going to ask who I’m going with?”“Who you go with doesn’t concern me, so why would I ask that? I’m uninterested in your affairs. Besides, I don’t understand your work. Maybe you should talk to Ivanna? She might be interested,” I remained indifferent, making her think I was bored."I'm going with Atlas. What do you think?" Harmony looked at me provocatively."Oh, wow! Is he your so-called boyfriend?" I continued to play along. "I don't think it matters to me, but you should probably tell his cousin. She might be interested. Don't be fooled. As your neighbor, I'll remind you to be more careful."Harmony was puzzled by my words. She froze, trying to digest my words.I left her and approached my house’s entrance, wondering how she entered the show business. With a brain like hers, s
Beyond the Divorce Chapter 288 Missing Home
I observed my mom’s expression and knew there was something she wasn’t telling me.“Mom, do you ever feel like you can’t remember your past?” I frowned and pondered. “Do you remember anything from your childhood? People often talk about theirs, but I don’t know mine.”“How can that be? We lived in Dalston Park with your dad’s colleagues and some kids. Nothing unusual,” she reassured me. However, I knew she didn’t want to delve into it.Suddenly, Atlas called. I answered and whispered, “Why are you calling so late?”“Can you come out? I’m at Starlight International.” He sounded seductive, which made my heart race. I glanced at my mom and spoke louder, “I’ll come over now. Wait for me.”As expected, my mom looked at me. I spoke to Atlas for a few more minutes before ending the call and feigned seriousness. I told my mom, “I’m going out for a while. I’ll stay with them if it gets late.”I blushed at my own words.“It’s already late, yet you want to go out?” My mom was concerned.“

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
