Beyond the Divorce Chapter 399 Someone’s Investigating Hartz Construction
Grayson shared something that left me anxious. His tone was solemn, and I could sense danger, "Chloe, someone’s investigating Hartz Construction.""When did this happen?" I asked."Just a moment ago. Someone tried to infiltrate Hartz Construction's system, but we detected it and reinforced the security. They can't make any further attempts now. But from this, we can confirm someone wants to investigate the company," Grayson stated with certainty."Can't we find out who it is?" I asked, wondering who was snooping around Hartz Construction so suddenly."They withdrew too quickly, and we couldn't catch any leads in time," Grayson regretfully said.I didn’t know how the person became aware of Hartz Construction. I felt uneasy because only a few knew about it. Excluding them meant that everyone was a potential threat. Moreover, it was not the right time to reveal that company."Oh, I encountered a man when I removed my cast today. If I'm not mistaken, he was involved in my kidnapping,
Beyond the Divorce Chapter 400 Visiting Ivanna
Neither ATL Empire nor Echelon Group was within my sphere of influence.No matter which company won the bid, I suspected either of these two might deliver the interior design project to me.Firstly, ATL Empire had made us responsible for interior design, meaning we would automatically secure the development rights.As for Echelon Group, Atticus might also entrust me with this responsibility. After all, we had an excellent work relationship. I believed we had already established an unspoken understanding. If I had no chance in development, I could pursue the next big thing by establishing an interior design company.With designers like Hana on our team, building upon her foundation and recruiting a few renowned designers would be our winning formula.My thoughts gave me a direction. I proposed this idea to the business planners, which surprisingly helped us clarify many issues. Our qualifications, experience, and funds would become more convincing.I received praise from Joyce, wh
Beyond the Divorce Chapter 401 How Did You Two Meet?
"That just proves he’s not your true partner! A true partner can give you everything you want and also protect you. He can’t give you anything but trouble." My words were harsh, but Ivanna didn’t argue. After a long pause, she murmured, “Actually, I’ve struggled with it, too. But I can’t bear the pain of leaving him... I’d rather face death head-on.”I fell silent since I understood what Ivanna was saying. How could I break my addiction to Atlas? Perhaps, like our current situation, the best way was for him to have a change of heart.“How did you two meet?” I asked Ivanna.She sat motionless on the sofa, her voice soft and distant as she recounted the story.“It was coincidental. It was about one of my artists, Vanessa Oakley. She was taken to Emgrand Nightclub and caught the eye of some playboys there. Coincidentally, Vanessa was a promising new talent I had high hopes for.”I sat next to her, listening intently.“The day things went south, she called me. So I rushed to Em
Beyond the Divorce Chapter 402 Dangerous Man
After some silence, Ivanna said, "I was supposed to plan for my artists' best interests. I couldn't let the one I'm responsible for get hurt, right? Things would’ve been different if she had called me."I knew Ivanna was a woman of principle. I felt guilty when I initially suspected her of being involved with Matthew. Even though she never held it against me, it weighed heavily on my conscience.Ivanna missed my wandering thoughts and continued, "Back then, I just wanted to get Vanessa out of there. She had just started her career and showed great potential. Venessa was willing to work hard and wasn't interested in vanity.“She was much more valuable than Harmony. What could I do? Stand by and watch someone destroy her life and future?"I nodded in agreement.Ivann’s tone turned severe, "Also, Eloise introduced Vanessa to Emgrand Nightclub. She lied to Vanessa, saying she was arranging an endorsement deal for her.""Eloise is a menace. Why would your company continue to employ so
Beyond the Divorce Chapter 403 Waiting at Midnight
I needed to find a way to meet Jared. Given the situation, he either had a hidden agenda or treated Ivanna as another fling. Both would be devastating to Ivanna. I couldn’t stand aside and watch my friend crumble.I thought Trinity didn't care about him or ignored his affairs, but those were slim chances. A woman who commanded such respect wouldn't tolerate sharing her man. When I saw them together, their chemistry was unmistakable.I felt an increasing dread. Still, Ivanna seemed prepared for the worst."There are no unyielding principles regarding emotions. Once you’re in it, you can’t resist, right? We're only human, not gods. The heart wants what it wants." Ivanna was conflicted, and her words left me uneasy.Though I understood her, bittersweet love was something only few could grasp.It was late, so I prepared to leave. Ivanna said, "Why don’t you stay the night?"I shook my head. "I'd rather go home. We both could sleep here, but I have something important to do tomorrow.
Beyond the Divorce Chapter 404 No Hesitation
Atlas grew greedier as we kissed. He cradled my head and prevented me from pulling away. Finally, he released me and looked at me affectionately."Are you still jealous?" His husky voice returned me to my senses, and I met his eyes.I stared at him dumbfounded as he touched my lips. He tenderly said, "Your body is more honest than your attitude. It shows how much you crave me."Atlas’s shameless words resembled a thorn in my side."Stop spouting nonsense!" I retorted."You're not being honest. If you genuinely despised me, as your expression suggests, you would’ve pushed me away earlier. But you enjoyed it and craved it even more. Your eyes are still sparkling. It just proves how much you want me. Am I wrong?" He smirked. "Would you like to try again?"I pushed him away and cursed, "You’re shameless!"Then I reached for the car door, got out, and slammed it shut. His words angered me because I knew he was playing with me. He just dropped off one girl and came to flirt with me.
Beyond the Divorce Chapter 405 The Real Stella
Lauren agreed when she heard my request. "Okay, wait for my update. I'll do it as soon as possible."Grayson was waiting for me in my office, which surprised me. I said, "It's so early. What's up?"He stood up and handed me several papers. "These are the files on Jared and Trinity you asked for. Also, they met an elderly man at Alvatraz last night. The strange thing is, I couldn't find out who he was."I nodded, pondering. People like Jared and Trinity always had secrets, so the mystery wasn't surprising. I couldn't wait to go through the information Grayson provided.Suddenly, I remembered someone investigating Hartz Construction’s case and asked Grayson, "Did you find out who was looking into Hartz Construction?"Grayson answered, "Not yet. The person disappeared before I could intercept their code. It seems they’re a rare talent to exit so swiftly. The person looking into us is formidable.”"Keep looking. Whoever is targeting our company's system is not an ordinary person. It
Beyond the Divorce Chapter 406 Where the Old Photo Originated
My eyes widened as I looked at Grayson's phone. The photo showed a boy and girl with distinct features, around ten years old.I couldn’t stop looking at the little girl's delicate and beautiful face. She had large eyes, thin lips, and, most notably, a small dimple below her mouth. She had two long pigtails with strawberry-shaped hairpins and wore a light pink dress.She looked incredibly familiar, and I wondered why she resembled Ava.The handsome boy beside the girl wore a white shirt and plaid shorts. He had one hand in his pocket and the other resting on a chair. The little girl leaned on the chair with a basketball placed on it.The boy had striking features and an aloof smile. He appeared less cheerful than the girl but had an air of sophistication. I knew it was a young Atlas."Is this... Is this a photo of Atlas when he was young?" My heart pounded, and my mind raced."Yes, it's Atlas and the real Stella during childhood," Grayson confirmed. "Now, look at the next picture.

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
