Beyond the Divorce Chapter 523 Unknown Signs
I pulled her in. "Didn't you say you wouldn't come? How’d you end up on the ship?""I didn't plan to, but the boss was so persistent that I couldn't refuse." She shrugged and said, "Are you ready? Let's grab something to eat! I was starving, but I didn't want to disturb you. How was experiencing the brilliance of the sea?"Her expression was mischievous. I playfully punched her. "Quit being so lewd. Look at yourself. You're becoming quite the character!" My face involuntarily flushed.We headed down to the restaurant on the third floor. While waiting for our food, Ivanna asked what Trinity wanted to discuss with me last night. She had been worried about it.I gave her a brief, unbiased rundown. I didn't want her to worry too much.When the dishes arrived, I spotted Stella and Liora entering the restaurant just as I was about to eat.I exchanged a glance with Ivanna and pretended not to notice.However, I couldn't avoid seeing them. The two of them also spotted us and walked ov

I took a deep breath of the salty sea air, trying to steady myself.Ivanna noticed that something seemed off. "What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"I shook my head, realizing that even my back felt chilled. "No, I just feel lightheaded!""Could it be a touch of seasickness? The waves are rougher today compared to last night." Ivanna observed, her eyes fixed on my face. "You look a little pale!""Maybe! It's fine. A little fresh air will do the trick." I didn't want Ivanna to worry, so I waved it off. "Or maybe it's just hunger. I've been on an empty stomach for too long!""Well, let's go back to the room. Rest for a bit, have something to eat, and then we can go for a walk. The swimming pool I mentioned is in the center and quite large. We can check it out after we've eaten," Ivanna suggested."Alright!" We returned to our room. There was still no sign of Atlas. It seemed like he was pretty busy.After lunch, the two of us headed to the pool area. Quite a few socialites
Beyond the Divorce Chapter 525 Premeditated Provocation
Mia's words drew everyone's attention. I couldn't help but feel a surge of relief. Seeing that Arthur hosted this, Mia was the true elite here.This was the second time I had seen Mia, and both times, she had come to my rescue.I wasn't afraid of dealing with this woman, but I didn't want any unpleasantness around me. That would be a disgrace to Atlas. After all, whether in public or private, I was Atlas's woman.The feisty woman shot a fierce look at Mia. Mia's words, though not heavy, were exact. They left the sharp-tongued woman utterly defeated. She stood before the crowd, nearly naked, with just three pieces of fabric covering the essentials. If this wasn't low-class, what was it?"Who the hell are you? How dare you come looking for trouble?" The woman glared at Mia, her tone sharp.Mia had been studying abroad and had only recently returned to Foswood, so few people truly knew her. I only knew this from the crash course Lauren gave me after meeting Mia at the celebrati
Beyond the Divorce Chapter 526 One After Another
In an instant, the scattered crowd by the poolside sensed that something unusual was happening. They quickly gathered, and even Liora, who stood at a distance, seemed a bit unsettled. However, her unease appeared more like a mischievous prelude to incitement."What's going on? Aren’t you being too arrogant? You just got wet, that’s all! Does it really warrant such a commotion? It's unnecessary to make such a big fuss." She walked over, looking at me from a distance."Chloe, even in moments of triumph, one should exercise restraint. You're underestimating these kids. None of their backgrounds is something you can easily handle. Don't blame me for not warning you.”She was clearly addressing me and provoking the onlookers.Sure enough, the scions gathered and approached us, ready for action.I fearlessly glanced at them, and Mia smirked in my direction."Ms. Liora, when did you see me acting arrogant?" I looked at her calmly."You’re not being arrogant? What's this situation, then
Beyond the Divorce Chapter 527 Arthur’s Arrival
Just as everyone turned around in surprise, they noticed the newcomers weren't strangers; it was none other than Arthur and his entourage, including Atlas. It seemed these people had been together all along, probably discussing business.Mia and I exchanged glances but didn't make a move.The tall and thin middle-aged man immediately concealed his anger, striding toward Arthur. From a distance, he greeted Athurt with a fawning tone, extending his hand, "Mr. Arthur, you're here. Sorry for startling you with such a commotion."He then nodded and bowed to Atlas, "Mr. Atlas."Atlas's face remained gloomy, his gaze fixed on me. My dress was still wet, and the disheveled look persisted. I could see the anger churning in his eyes.Arthur glanced at Mia, then at me beside her without interacting with us. Instead, he sternly asked, "What's going on?"The tall and thin man gave us a disdainful glance, sneering, "These two ill-mannered women somehow sneaked in and are causing trouble here.
Beyond the Divorce Chapter 528 The Tables Have Turned
Arthur took a glance at the tablet handed to him by the young man, silently watching for a while, then passed the tablet to the tall and thin man. "Is this what you claimed, that the two of them sneaked in and caused trouble?"The tall and thin man hurriedly took the tablet, nervously watched the footage, and, with trembling lips, turned back to slap the red-haired guy. "I warned you to stay away from this troublesome Carina! Why can't you remember my advice? You bastard!"Andre, furious upon hearing the skinny guy's words, exclaimed, "Robert Strickland, what the hell do you mean?""I meant exactly what I said! Look at the well-behaved daughter you've raised, causing trouble everywhere. What kind of person is she?" Robert pointed at the disheveled Carina on the ground. "Look at her, what does she look like now? This is disgraceful, utterly disgraceful!"Atlas seemed to have reached his limit. He took off his jacket, walked over, and wrapped it around me, holding me in his arms. "Se
Beyond the Divorce Chapter 529 Looks Like Someone’s Scared
After finishing her statement, Mia turned to leave with a high and cold stride. Suddenly, she stopped and looked at me, saying, "Ms. Chloe, shall we have a chat?"I smiled, "Sure."Looking up at Atlas, I whispered, "I'll chat with Ms. Mia for a while. You focus on your tasks."Atlas nodded with an indulgent expression, "Alright. Don't forget to eat something."I smiled, gave Ivanna a slight tug, and followed Mia as we walked toward the VIP area.From the corner of my eye, I saw Liora still hiding behind the crowd, staring at us as we walked by in astonishment.Mia's words should be enough to make her heart race.People in the crowd continued to comment, "They’re really ignorant to dare to offend these two women. One is Mr. Arthur's daughter, and the other is Mr. Atlas’s woman.”As we left the chaotic crowd, Ivanna disdainfully remarked, "Liora must be really panicking now.""I really dislike that woman. Too bad for that Atticus. He's a very astute man," Mia said casually, show

After coming out of the private room, we all went to the restaurant together, feeling very happy.I was happy because I finally got what I wanted, and if all went as planned, I could also acquire the Phase Two of Avalon Hills, which was already within Liora's grasp.During dinner, I had Dylan notify Ryan to join us in our private room.I formally introduced Noah to Ryan, making this cruise party a true success for me.We had a joyful dinner.After dinner, we went back to the main hall. I strolled on the deck with Joyce. The sea was calm and vast, the deep expanse of the sea and the sky merging into one. It was the first time I had seen such a seascape. It was like the entire firmament was within arm's reach.Joyce asked me, "Chloe, how do you manage to make Ryan always love you?"Her question was too direct, making me a bit awkward. This was likely due to our different upbringing environments, shaping different outlooks on life."Well, there's no need to deliberately do anythin

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
