Just as the words left my lips, a sudden cry was heard. "Chloe, be careful!"

I jolted, barely turning around before Atlas yanked me to the other side. Simultaneously, I noticed a shadow lunging toward him, a short blade gleaming in their hand.

I cried out in shock, "Atlas! Knife..."

Atlas dodged the attack, engaging in a fierce struggle with the assailant. I screamed, unable to believe the sudden turn of events. The guards from the restaurant were now rushing over.

However, at that moment, the assailant seemed to lose control. He ruthlessly lunged at Atlas once more.

Atlas evaded. But to my horror, the assailant swiftly turned toward me, the speed leaving me defenseless. All that remained were my cries of alarm.

In an instant, a figure yanked me away, the momentum causing her body to lurch forward.

Then, in the next heartbeat, her form seemed to freeze. In the brief moment before the guards reached him, he vaulted, disappearing into the ocean's depths.

Gunshots echoed in my e

    Everyone finally heard the dull thud of the helicopter's rotors in the distance, growing louder as it approached. It touched down on the helipad at the bow of the ship, and the others carefully placed Trinity on a stretcher. Jared arrived at the last moment, and they both boarded the helicopter.Inside, Atlas arranged for a doctor and explained that there were signs of poisoning. They were already prepared for emergency treatment.I watched as Trinity's complexion grew worse. "Trinity, wake up, don't sleep. Stay awake. When you wake up, we'll be friends, the best kind! I was wrong. My perception of you was truly wrong! Wake up!"At that moment, I was petrified. I was afraid something might happen to Trinity. She sacrificed herself for me, didn't she? Was the blade poisoned? Why were they treating me like this? Why were they so determined to see me dead?Jared's expression wasn't much better. He held Trinity's hand tightly, offering only a simple, "Hang in there!"The helicopte

    Atlas gave a brief report to Arthur about the situation. Then, everyone headed to the ICU.Sure enough, it didn't take long before Trinity was wheeled into the ICU.Members of the Huffman family also arrived, led by a lean older man. I speculated he might be Trinity's father.His face was grim as he questioned Jared, "How did it end up like this? Huh? Who did this? You tell me who laid hands on her!"This older man exuded a formidable presence despite being in his twilight years. He must have been a warrior who led from the front lines when he was younger.Even at his age, his eyes were sharp and cunning. That gaze demanded respect."Preliminary assessment shows the involvement of an organization from the Jitador, a case of mistaken identity," Jared reported, but he only gave an overview.I wanted to speak up, but Atlas put his arm around my shoulder, signaling me to stay silent. I had no choice but to hold my tongue, but I could not get rid of the ache in my chest.The older m

    As we drove, he repeatedly reminded me to stay safe these days and not to overthink.I felt a pang of guilt and said to Atlas, "This morning, I saw Stella and Liora. I intentionally tried to start shit between them. Could it be...?"Atlas's expression turned serious as he shook his head. "Don't overthink it. Now that he's on the ship, he'll seize the opportunity. It's just a matter of timing."You did nothing wrong. Keeping them together is not a good sign. Creating a rift between them and making them suspicious of each other—that's the opening we need. It leaves room for us to act. You played that strategy well."He looked at me with a touch of tenderness. "Tonight, get some rest.""Atlas, are you confident about finding the antidote? After all, she got hurt because of me..."Atlas took my hand in his, looking at me meaningfully. "You can trust me. I won't stand idly by, whether it's for you or anyone on that ship. And Jitador is my territory. I'm confident in finding the anti

    Even when Ivanna said it, it sounded ridiculous. No one would believe it. "It's not just you. Even I find it hard to believe. I've thought about it many times before but always dismissed it. But this time, I'm certain."I looked at her. "You probably remember me telling you I can't recall my childhood and adolescence, right? There's a gap in my memories, and it wasn't until my sophomore year that I started remembering. I suspect that the missing memories are related to Atlas." "My gosh, wouldn't that be too miraculous? No, no, no... This isn't miraculous—it's eerie!"When Ivanna said this, her expression was comical, but I couldn't bring myself to laugh."Don't laugh. It's true. Do you believe that there are people who can shapeshift in our real lives?" I asked her."Shapeshift?" Ivanna let out a small scream. "I know makeup can be powerful, but shapeshift? I've heard of it, but I've never seen it. Is that all just a legend? Why do you encounter such bizarre things?"Ivanna wa

    I looked at Ivanna, expressing my helplessness. "So, not only do I have this inexplicable connection with Stella, but there's also a reason for them to want to kill me.""Chlo, that..." Ivanna seemed at a loss for words."So, this wasn't a random incident but a premeditated one. Now, I just want to know their reason for doing so." I looked up at Ivanna, my eyes reflecting a sense of bewilderment. "But it's a bit dramatic. I never expected that the person who saved my life would turn out to be Trinity."Moreover, I seem to have an inexplicable connection with the Huffman family. Just like that, I'm now involved with them. Even though I'm repulsed by the Huffman family, I don't have a reason to sever ties with them. After all, I owe Trinity my life.""That's not necessarily a bad thing. Everyone has their own values, and the Huffman family is no exception. You don't need to look at the Huffman family with a different view. They might have a different way of doing things, but from a c

    "She told me that Trinity took a stab for you. At that moment... I was truly...” Ivanna's voice trembled, her eyes reddening. "And then Arthur ordered an early return. This time, he's feeling quite guilty too. After all, the people on the ship are either rich or noble."Ivanna involuntarily hugged me again.I could imagine the state she was in at that moment. After all, we had been through life and death situations together. When she was in danger, I felt the same way.I pulled her away gently. "Alright, let's go inside and eat together.”"What do you think? Of course, I'll eat here." She made a face like a rascal, and I couldn't help but laugh.She grinned, "Ah, it would be great when Lauren comes back. I'll have a place to freeload again, hopping from one place to another. I won't have to cook. It’s nice to have my best friend back after all.”I snorted, "How do you take care of yourself? It's really worrying. You're a grown person."We chatted at the doorway for a long time b

    Before going to bed, I called Atlas. I informed him that everything was stable on the Trinity's side, and I felt a bit relieved. I sighed, grateful that I could lie down peacefully in bed, all thanks to Trinity enduring suffering on my behalf.The guilt in my heart made it impossible for me to sleep. Every event replayed in my mind like a series of scenes. Finally, as morning approached, I, sporting a pair of panda eyes, hastily took a warm shower. Urged by the three old ladies, I managed to eat something before rushing to the hospital.Surprisingly, when I arrived, Trinity had just woken up. Watching the doctor busy inside, I felt anxious. However, she didn't stay awake for long and slipped back into a deep sleep about half an hour later.The doctor brought good news from the blood test results, indicating that the excessive bleeding might have inadvertently helped as there were not many toxins remaining in her body. It was a sigh of relief for all of us.Anson also arrived at the

    Perhaps there was already a familial bond between him and Trinity. Or maybe I was overly concerned with the gains and losses between Trinity and Ivanna. I couldn't think of a reason for them to coexist. In my mind, it seemed like a situation of either black or white, with no room for coexistence."Do you want the ultimate result to be coexistence?" I still didn't look at Jared, keeping my gaze on Trinity inside. I directly asked the question that had been lingering in my mind, and then I looked at him, posing a serious question, "Can you achieve that?"He stood firmly, still not looking at me but staring at Trinity inside. "I will strive for it.""But have you considered their feelings?" My guess was spot on."I will do my best to balance their relationship and make sure they both accept it," he said without hesitation.I chuckled. He was quite confident to try to control two strong-willed opposites, and I had to commend his courage for that.I remained silent because at this mom

    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.

    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,

    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.

    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

    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

    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

    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.

    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!
