Atlas and I chatted a little longer before finally hanging up. Although he was influential, we were in Martin’s territory. Still, I knew my chances of failure were nearly zero with Atlas’s support.

With Atlas’s assurance, I felt relaxed and visited Ryan’s room. Indeed, Ryan was busy discussing contract matters with Adrian and the legal team. As expected, Ryan was cautious and meticulous regarding business.

After a short while, Arthur called, and I hurried back to my room to give him a detailed report. Of course, he gave me a few instructions afterward. I realized he knew everything about Nelson’s misdeeds.

When I ended the call with Arthur, someone knocked on my door. I thought it was Ryan and the others, but I was surprised to see Jeremiah instead. It seemed he was well-informed since he knew which room I was in.

I asked arrogantly, “What brings you here?”

He noticed my hand was still on the door, not intending to let him in. He felt uneasy and looked at my hand several times. I

    Indeed, Jeremiah couldn't resist my assertive demeanor. He looked displeased, saying, “Mr. Martin Terrell, of course.”I scoffed and asked, “Do I know that person? Why would he extend an invitation to me? Mr. Jeremiah, you know I don’t attend random gatherings, right? There must be a reason for the invitation. Your cousin Chad knows it, too.”My attitude left Jeremiah at a loss as he glanced at me. “Ms. Chloe, I suggest you think twice before making a regretful decision.”I frowned at his words and retorted, “Are you threatening me?”I knew he was merely Martin’s middle-man. Jeremiah would fail if he couldn’t secure my attendance. As expected, he became apprehensive toward my displeasure. “Ms. Chloe, please don’t misunderstand me.“Mr. Marting doesn’t invite just anyone for a meal. If anyone else wishes to dine with him, they must have the right connections. He’s doing more than enough by taking the initiative, so I advise you not to be unappreciative.”I raised a brow and offere

    Sure enough, Ryan asked, “What kind of dinner is it?”“Martin’s hosting it. Also, he’s Nelson’s son. Martin wants to discuss some project matters, so I thought it would be necessary to prepare for it,” I spoke casually but startled Adrian and Ryan.Ryan insisted, “I’ll come with you. You can’t deal with them alone. I’m the company’s general manager and have the right to participate in negotiations. You need me, especially since we’re in a foreign place.”Adrian agreed, “He’s right, Ms. Chloe. We don’t know how the people here, and safety is our priority.”I sneered and dismissed their concerns, “You’re overthinking it. Just because they’re crafty doesn’t mean I fear them. I think they want to negotiate the terms with me, so I’ll talk to them. You’re giving them too much credit. However, I still need to make preparations.”Ryan glared at me, saying, “You’re not allowed to be willful in this situation. We aren’t in Foswood. While we might feel reassured back home, you must ensure yo

    Ryan immediately raised both hands in agreement. "Alright, it's settled then. Where did you arrange to meet?"Seeing Ryan's eager demeanor, I compromised.Well, it might work out for the best, and at least I now have a clue. It was better to be safe than sorry."They asked me to meet them at the Acacia Hall in the Feusaka Hotel at 6 p.m."Adrian clapped his hands. "Great! Let Aidan arrange for us to be at the Feusaka Hotel, too, closer to their private room."While we were planning for the evening, my phone rang again. Glancing down, I saw it was a call from Noah.I guessed it was related to dinner. Indeed, that was the matter he wanted to discuss.So, I explained my situation to Noah, being transparent about the invitation from Martin. I hid nothing, informing him I would be at the Feusaka Hotel.After hearing my explanation, Noah fell silent for a moment. Then he replied, "Ms. Chloe, in that case, you can go to the Feusaka Hotel. I'll arrange for someone to wait outside i

    Jeremiah hurriedly walked over with a smile. "Oh! Ms. Chloe, you're punctual!"It seemed like he was in charge of hospitality today, just like when Chad took the lead in hosting me.It amused me. These so-called cousins had no shame in repeating the same mistakes. It looked like Jeremiah was going to follow in Chad's footsteps today.There was no way around it. What could I do when they just never learned?I looked closer. Four people were seated around a round table.In the main seat was Martin, and next to him was Chad. There was also someone I didn't recognize, but I figured he was one of their associates.Jeremiah was pleased to see that I was punctual. He had efficiently handled things and successfully invited me. Moreover, I had come alone."Ms. Chloe, I must introduce you to these people now that you're in Bourdamun." Jeremiah approached me, extending his hand.Without looking at him, I walked straight inside to the round table. I glanced at the people at the table and

    I calmly replied, “Mr. Martin, do you have other intentions?”“Haha… I have no ill intentions, Ms. Chloe. I want to express my hospitality, especially since I’ve always had a soft spot for beautiful women like you.”“You’ve flattered me enough, Mr. Martin. What did you want to discuss?”“Jeremiah, tell them to serve the food. We can chat while dining,” Martin ordered. “Ms. Chloe, you’ve been discussing business all day, so you must be hungry. Let’s eat first and then talk later.”He had a gentle expression, as if he were my old friend.Jeremiah rushed to the door and signaled a waiter to bring the food. I took my bag, rummaged through it, and casually turned on my recording pen.I noticed Martin watching me, so I took a pack of wet wipes and placed it on the table to avoid suspicion. Immediately after, I calmly put my bag behind my chair.I pulled out a wet wipe and wiped my hands, but Jeremiah seemed dissatisfied. “What is the meaning of this, Ms. Chloe?”I looked at him and f

    As their displeasure grew, I maintained my composure. "What's wrong? Did I say something inappropriate?"Martin’s face darkened. He was quite unpredictable.Jeremiah felt compelled to intervene. "Ms. Chloe, this is Bourdamun, not Foswood. Don't—"Before he could finish, Martin slammed the table. He yelled at Jeremiah, "Who do you think you are? Do you have the right to speak here? Don't pretend to be something you're not!"I shivered at his sudden outburst and involuntarily looked at Martin. I could tell that his words were actually aimed at me. Martin was quite arrogant.The room fell silent. The other three dared not breathe, and my heart raced.I chuckled, breaking the tension. Leaning back in my chair, I glanced casually at Martin and remarked, "Looks like you have quite the temper, Mr. Martin."He raised an eyebrow and looked at me. "Sorry, I didn't mean to startle you. He’s short-tempered."I forced a strained smile. "It seems dinner isn't coming." The unidentified man

    Jake spoke again, "After signing the agreement with us, the contract for Bourdamun's new district will be handed over to you for construction, Ms. Chloe."My heart skipped a beat. He finally said it. I pretended to hesitate and said, "So, you mean I'll be signing the contract with Mr. Martin for this project?"Jake burst into laughter. "Martin, see? Ms. Chloe is a smart person."Martin chuckled, too. "I can assure you, Ms. Chloe, that there won't be any obstacles for you in Bourdamun. This collaboration can go smoothly.""So, if I don't sign this contract with Mr. Martin, I'll be stuck?" I smiled comfortably. "Mr. Martin, are you trying to scare me?"Jake grinned meaningfully. "Absolutely not!"I glared at him, silently cursing. He boldly treated this project as if it were theirs and treated me like a puppet.This time, I looked at Martin. "Does this mean I'm taking over a second-hand contract?" "You can't put it that way. This is your guarantee in Bourdamun, and..." Martin pa

    I was at a loss as I looked at Kimberly, mainly because I had never dealt with someone like her. I initially thought Trinity would match Kimberly’s description. However, I realized Trinity was much more sophisticated than what I had imagined after the real showdown.The woman before me was an actual troublemaker. She noticed me lost in my thoughts and tapped her spoon on my plate, saying, “I’m talking about you! Stop looking so indifferent!”“Kim!” Martin reprimanded her.Kimberly rolled her eyes and pursed her lips before continuing to eat.Jake intervened, “The dishes are finally here, Ms. Chloe. Please, have some.”Martin put aside his act and said, “Ms. Chloe, let’s talk while we eat.”I glanced at Kimberly, and no longer had an appetite. It felt like I would be eating someone else’s leftovers. I calmly said, “I’m sorry, everyone, but I don’t have much of an appetite. Please proceed with eating.”My words offended Kimberly. She stared at me and asked, “What do you mean by th

    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. Blinking, I look

    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!
