I stared at the women. "Apologize right now," I commanded coldly.

It was evident that the tall woman was stubborn and had a knack for being unruly, just like Liora. She decided to step forward as she saw the situation turning against her and my relentless demand for an apology.

"Since our agreements have been terminated, why should I apologize? Did I say anything wrong?" she retorted defiantly.

I took a step closer, gazing directly at her. "No apology, huh?" I said, coldly.

One of the men who had pleaded with Atlas suddenly turned to her and scolded, "Katie Finch, apologize!"

The woman's face darkened even more, "Why..."

I slapped her hard without hesitation. Then, I looked at her calmly and said, "Since you won't apologize, consider that repayment for the slap earlier. I hope you'll pay more attention to your behavior in the future. You shouldn’t mess with some people. You can leave now."

After that, I returned to Lauren's side, saying, "You don’t need to show those kind of peo

    I knew these things truly hurt her."To say that I'm just an accessory is too flattering. The words those people said today were not wrong at all. I'm not even worthy of being his wife," she said with a chuckle."Do you have to belittle yourself like that?" I looked at her, a bit frustrated."This isn't about belittling! I did have such thoughts before. I wanted to stay by his side because I assumed that when she was gone, I would be his partner. After all these years of mockery and ridicule, I consoled myself that it would all be worth it when I was officially recognized."She wiped her face, and I realized what she was saying was the most honest reflection of her soul. I could understand her."In reality, I don't love him that much. It's just that I endured a lot for this one person, and it became a habit. I buried my desires and couldn't escape..."She patted my leg and laughed bitterly, but her tears flowed.I comforted her, "You're not wrong. Anyone in your position will ha

    "Chlo, this is reality. It’s too late, even if he stands by me or even promises to marry me now. That one sentence, that one action, represents everything. It hurts my pride.""I understand," I said calmly."Taking him back will mean that I choose to discard my dignity. Therefore, I must climb out of his hell. Only then can I truly be myself. I'll no longer be that lowly woman clinging to him." "I'm here for you," I told her seriously."So, you get me. Please help me. There's no turning back for me. It's not that I want to hurt Oliver, retaliate against him, or abandon him..." Lauren seemed to be explaining herself to me, afraid I wouldn't understand.She was very anxious, looking at me with splayed hands. "He pushed me into an abyss, took away my dignity, and left me stranded on the moral high ground. Then he could casually say, without hesitation, that he wouldn't marry me!"She burst into laughter suddenly, an unsettling laughter."Oh damn! What the hell am I? It feels like

    Under the soft glow of the streetlights, he walked briskly toward me, extending his hand. I joyfully ran to him. "Why haven't you slept yet?"His handsome face looked warm as I looked at it under the golden lights. He leaned in until he was close enough for me to feel his breath. His affectionate gaze hid a layer of endearment within. "You haven't come back yet. How could I sleep?" He pecked my lips. "Let's go home!"I don't know why, but my heart felt warm every time he said those words.His hand held mine, caressing it gently. "Why did it take you so long?""She wasn't feeling too good, so I stayed with her a bit longer." I looked at him apologetically. "Did I keep you waiting?""How can you leave your fiance aside and run to take care of someone else? Today is a special day!" He seemed to be reproaching me."I didn't plan for it to be like this!" I sighed."My sweetheart is too kind," he said with a captivating smile. "She's here to save the world!"I laughed heartily, lig

    Stella was the first person to appear before me, and I wasn't surprised at all. She came with an air of sharpness when I had just arrived at my office.Approaching my desk, she looked down at me for a while. With a hint of disdain, she uttered two words, "Let's talk."I calmly gestured. "Sure, have a seat."She unceremoniously took the chair before me, arrogantly looking at me. "I've underestimated you."I chuckled at her words and replied, "You shouldn't have underestimated me.""I only saw you as the second Annalise," she said bluntly.I stared at her, anger rising from within. "So, you repeatedly targeted me? Are you trying to handle me the way you did with Annalise? Pushing her off a cliff and then trying to drown me. You're ruthless, but your methods aren't that clever!"My eyes remained fixed on her, refusing to back down.Apparently, she didn't expect me to be so straightforward. After a moment of silence, she suddenly relaxed and laughed cunningly, looking at me with a

    The chaos in my mind made it impossible to focus on anything else. I grabbed my bag and told Carol I was going to ATL Empire. I had to find Atlas and get some answers.I needed to know exactly what Atlas was hiding in this tangled web.However, when I arrived at ATL Empire, he was nowhere to be found. Apparently, he had gone to Rivendell.I called him right away, but on second thought, I realized this situation would take some time to unravel. It wasn't something that could be clarified in a brief phone conversation.Forget it. I hung up the phone and decided I would ask him when he came back.I dialed Lauren's number instead to check if she had arrived. I was concerned about her emotions from last night.After a few rings, she answered. "Why are you calling so early? Are you worried about me?""What do you think?" I replied."Please, Ms. Chloe, I'm already studying!" Lauren teased with a lingering tone, sounding quite cheerful.Hearing her voice, I couldn't help but smile. It

    I looked at Trinity and said, "To be honest, I feel guilty about Atlas. I only found out about this after he returned to Jitador. I didn't expect him to break into their stronghold. Looks like you really need to thank him.""Why do you say that?" Trinity asked me, looking puzzled."He has a deep-seated grudge with that organization from Jitador because they killed his parents. He infiltrated their base for the antidote after we captured the assassin. If you hadn't mentioned it today, I wouldn't have had the chance to ask about it. Looks like I’m not that good of a partner.”"That Jitador organization killed his parents?" Trinity was surprised."Yes. They’ve been in conflict for years. They even kidnapped my daughter and targeted me recently, but we still couldn’t find any solid evidence against them. Everything pointed to this organization, but a crucial person was missing, which made it impossible to pin it on them back then," I didn't hide the truth from Trinity. "If you hadn’t b

    Ryan and Hana were reviewing the design drawings when I arrived at the company. When he saw me enter the room, Ryan instructed Hana, "Make the modifications and send this to the Design Division for review."Hana agreed and quickly left.I looked at Ryan. "The notice was issued today? That means Liora already knows she's out of the game. Then…”Before I could finish my sentence, the phone rang again. I checked the screen. It was Matthew. I instantly realized that Matthew had already found out. It seemed like news had spread fast.I answered the call. Matthew sounded very excited. "I didn't misjudge you, Chloe. You really did pull this off."I knew what he was talking about, but I couldn't admit to it."What do you mean? What's going on? Can you explain?" I pretended not to understand."Oh, don't play dumb. You pulled off the Avalon Hills deal, didn't you?" He continued delightedly. "Let me tell you, Liora is furious right now. She's calling for help all over the place.""What ar

    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.

    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.

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!
