Beyond the Divorce Chapter 343 A Perfectly Timed Golden Opportunity
Dominic was anxious. "Please leave! Can't you see someone is sick here?""May I check on your wife?" I carefully asked for his permission. "I believe her condition is quite serious."He looked at me with panic, beads of sweat on his forehead."I have some experience," I added quickly. "I might be able to help."After all, I've dealt with situations like this while caring for Ava these past few years.Dominic glanced at me briefly, perhaps sensing my sincerity. He stepped aside and sighed. "She seems to have a fever."I quickly felt the woman's forehead and neck. She was burning hot, beyond a regular fever. "How long has this been going on?""She's been running a fever since last night. She was still lucid this morning, but I...""Dominic, I'm afraid we need to get her to the hospital. This won't do. Do you have a thermometer?" I asked."I-I don't know where it is!" He was usually absorbed in his studies, leaving household matters to his wife.I promptly told Carol, "Quick, ca

Finally, with the documents in my hands, the weight in my heart lifted. I was deeply grateful for Dominic's assistance.From his bag, he handed me additional materials. "These are promotional materials from the CEO of Pinnacle Group, along with information on materials similar to yours. You'll find copies of approval documents, test reports, certificates of compliance, and more."He showed me each item, explaining, "There are also audiovisual materials stamped with Pinnacle Group's seal. I hope this can be of help to you."Seeing these materials, I was truly moved and couldn't find the words to express my gratitude. These documents filled me with confidence.Dominic said, "Ms. Chloe, I hope you'll uphold your principles in every project contract—honesty, integrity, and a commitment to quality.""Dominic, you can trust me. What you said is exactly my motto." I assured him solemnly.He checked his watch and told me, "Time is tight, and you've already helped me a lot. Go on!"I qui
Beyond the Divorce Chapter 345 A Confidential Internal Analysis
Upon my return to the capital, my first stop was the hospital to meet Dominic. I wanted to share the good news of my victory, and he hadn't expected our reunion to happen so soon.As I anticipated, Dominic's life had turned chaotic due to his wife's hospitalization. I wanted to help him manage things at home.To put his mind at ease, I told him that my office was undergoing renovations, and I wouldn't be working for the week. Finally, he relaxed and allowed me to assist him.Following my suggestion, he agreed to hire a caregiver for them, and I had Fred help find a reliable one.During the week, I seized the opportunity to delve deeply into Pinnacle Group's affairs and discuss various material-related issues with Dominic. This gave me a clearer understanding of why Dominic was often considered difficult to deal with.The death of his son strengthened his commitment to his principles. Nothing could sway him from these values. He shut himself off even more and rarely talked to anyon
Beyond the Divorce Chapter 346 The Crisis Worsens
Grayson's explanation helped me understand the connection between the Pierce Corporation and ATL Empire, clearing up some confusion."So, this means that after Atlas’s parents had their accident, Celine took over ATL Empire.""Yes, because Atlas was only ten years old at that time.”While this clarified things for me, I was still puzzled about why Atlas only took over ATL Empire after many years."This time, Celine's plan is even sneakier," Grayson said. “She wants to use Atlas's coma as a chance to dilute the shares and merge ATL Empire and Pierce Corporation."I became anxious. "But wouldn't Atlas suffer heavy losses? That would mean that all his efforts in the past years would be in vain.”"This is why Celine's actions have shocked the whole conglomerate. Overall, they’re known as ATL Empire, but they always make a distinction between the Pierce Corporation and ATL Empire internally. “They are always at odds with each other. I think there's a reason they call the whole congl
Beyond the Divorce Chapter 347 Bumping Into Dylan
Lauren had booked a luxurious suite with its own hot tub. However, my dad was old-fashioned and preferred to soak outdoors, so we reluctantly let him go.Ava was thrilled to visit this kind of place for the first time. She kept admiring her swimsuit and dancing in the mirror. My mother joined the fun, and they both had a great time.Lauren and I continued to discuss the state of ATL Empire. She expressed her helplessness and said, "This time, I really don't know what to do. Nobody can get in touch with Atlas.""Don't blame yourself. I'm well aware of this. Pleca Park is off-limits now that he’s injured and there for treatment. Plus, Celine has arranged for her own people to guard him. It's as if he's under house arrest."I was getting more anxious after learning he’d be treated in Monora. Something didn't seem right. He would be taken to Monora unaware and can’t defend himself if Celine tried to hurt him."I've received word that they plan to send him to Monora for treatment," I c

I was feeling incredibly anxious, and my hands were clenched. The door finally swung open, and I peered inside, looking at the spot where I had seen Dylan. The food on the table remained, but there was no sign of him.Disappointed, I approached the room to see what was inside. The person who opened the door blocked my path and demanded, "Who are you looking for?"Lauren smiled at the man and said softly, "Why so aggressive? I'm looking for Mr. Dylan. I have something to discuss with him."I was amazed by Lauren’s courage. The man was unconvinced and said, "Who's Mr. Dylan? There’s no such person here!”"I saw him just now!" Lauren replied, clearly frustrated. "I just wanted to ask him something. It’ll be quick!”He stepped aside and said, "Find him then. See for yourself which one is Mr. Dylan."I quickly grabbed Lauren’s hand to prevent her from going in."It's fine then if he’s not in. Maybe we made a mistake," I said, dragging Lauren back to our room. She looked at me and
Beyond the Divorce Chapter 349 Intimacy in the Elevator
When the elevator dinged on her floor, I was confused. I looked up just as the elevator doors opened.Flustered by what I saw when the doors opened, my face turned red. I felt embarrassed and didn’t know where to look.Perhaps sensing something, the two people inside the elevator quickly separated and turned to face me.I hastily waved and said, "I didn't see anything! You can continue!"The two individuals in the elevator were Ivanna and another man. The man was tall and well-built, and I didn't dare to look too closely."Chlo!" Ivanna called out, her face flushed. She quickly stepped out of the elevator and grabbed my arm. I could smell a faint scent of alcohol on her. It appeared that they had been drinking."I-I haven't seen you for a while, and I just returned from Solaris," I stammered. When I noticed the man exiting the elevator, I hurriedly fled inside. "I'll talk to you tomorrow!""Chlo!" Ivanna’s face was still red. "Are you sure you're okay?""Yeah, let’s talk on
Beyond the Divorce Chapter 350 Impending Doom
I was startled by my thoughts. When did I become so trusting of him?I shook myself out of my thoughts and continued scrolling through my phone. The comments and opinions were still pouring in. People were expressing a wide range of views.A closer inspection revealed three main discussion groups. Most supported giving power to Celine. Atlas's condition was critical, so leaving a large corporation without a leader was unwise. Even if Atlas was incapacitated, the company needed management and decisions made. Another group was focused on protecting Atlas's interests. They strongly opposed Celine's ATL Empire consolidation. They said she was overstepping and questioned why she took control while Atlas was incapacitated. It seemed like an opportunistic power grab.Then, there was a neutral group advocating for balance. These individuals acknowledged the need for leadership but were cautious about letting any one person have too much control.These discussions were growing and showing

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
