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

    I quickly asked, "What's wrong? Did something happen?""I've been watching Grace today, and she doesn't seem quite right," my mom whispered to me. "I was thinking of waiting for you to discuss it together. Maybe we should take her to the hospital."Alarmed, I asked, "What do you mean, not quite right?""It seems like her pain has gotten worse. She keeps asking when you'll be back, and she won't let me call you. She barely ate anything for dinner too," my mom told me. "Atlas isn’t back yet either.""Alright, I'll come back right now." I felt a sense of urgency. "Atlas is with me."Atlas, who had been watching me all this time, saw my distressed expression and asked, "What's wrong?"After I hung up, I looked apologetically at him and shrugged. "It seems like we won't be going to Pleca Park. My mom says Grace isn't feeling well."I was a little embarrassed, because Grace had no connection to Atlas. I had already divorced her son, but I was still in close contact with her.He stood

    I felt a twinge of unease. "Atlas is getting in touch with the best doctor we can find right now, Mom. We'll take you to the hospital for another checkup soon. If everything checks out, I'll take you back to look around your old place tomorrow. You can still stay here since there’s people to look after you. It'll make me feel better too."She shook her head and did not speak. It looked like she was struggling to control her emotions."You know you can't rely on your son. How can you go back by yourself? I’ll worry about you." I suddenly understood what she was thinking. Could it be that she sensed her time was running out?"Let's go to the hospital for another checkup, then we can decide what to do, okay?" I tried to comfort her. I didn’t want her to worry too much.“I'm fine. I just want to go home. I miss it so much. Otherwise, please just do one thing for me. Find me a caregiver. I'll pay for it myself. I have the money."

    I did not expect to see Melanie already at the house when I arrived.When she saw me with the thermos and the caregiver, she immediately said sarcastically, "What is the meaning of this? Do you still consider yourself a daughter-in-law of the Murphy family? Didn't you take Grace away? Why did you bring her back? Were you trying to leave her at the hospital to end it all? You were scared she would die in your grand mansion, weren’t you?”She spoke without a shred of decency.I ignored her completely and went straight inside. I found Grace in bed in the master bedroom. Matthew was nowhere to be seen."Why are you being so stubborn, mom? You should stay in the hospital for a few days and get the full course of medication. It’ll be good for your health, and it’ll help with the pain," I scolded her. "Where's Matthew?""Don't blame him. It was my decision to come back here.

    I looked at him, helpless. "You’re really something, Matthew. She publicly went after your mom, and you're still defending her?"Maybe my words hurt Matthew's pride too much, or perhaps he saw that the neighbors could not handle the situation. Without asking what had happened, he yelled at me. "I didn’t see her going after my mom. What I did see was you hitting her. You've simply gone too far!"Matthew embraced Melanie, presenting himself as a real macho man protecting his little woman. "Chloe, this is a family matter for us. Get out. Don't act like you’re better than us!"The neighbors were all in shock and began criticizing him. "Matthew, are you insane? Aren't you going to ask what happened?""Exactly! He's a heartless son. How could he allow someone to mistreat his mom?""Are you really her son? You're actually protecting this animal when your mom is in such shape?""I'd say the beating was too light!"Matthew directed all his anger at me. "Chloe, this is what you want

    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.

    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!
