Once he hung up, I lamented, "I can't believe I forgot such an important matter."He walked away from the desk, sat me on the sofa, and held me. "The children's matters are the most important."I could see that there was a hint of jealousy in his words."Of course, I know the children are the most important. Do you think I helped Matthew because I felt sorry for him?"Upon hearing my words, Atlas smiled."But after what happened with Ava, I won't go easy on Liora anymore," I said somewhat to myself. "She's despicable to hurt the girls. She crossed a line there.”Atlas raised an eyebrow slightly and said, "Then let's repay her in kind."I was puzzled and asked, "What do you mean?""I meant it literally," he said casually.I quickly added, "I won't stoop to her level.""There are a million methods to deal with her. There's always one that will hurt her the most, especially the kind she can't bear to face," Atlas said casually. "The evidence from the online posts has been verifi
I felt utterly drained, just wanting to sleep.I could not figure out how he could be so lively while showing no signs of exhaustion.The next day, I felt like my body was falling apart, but I had to get up and go to the company on time. Especially with Ryan not around lately.As soon as I reached the office, I received a call from the kindergarten principal. She expressed a desire to visit my home and check on the children.This was Atlas's idea. Before leaving, he instructed my mother to keep the children at home for a few days until the bruises on their faces healed.So, the principal probably hadn't seen the children and was getting anxious.I declined the principal's request because I didn't want more people to know about Pleca Park. I politely explained to him, "The girls were somewhat scared yesterday, and I'd like them to take a break for a couple of days before resuming classes."The principal became even more nervous. With a cautious tone, he said, "Considering the sit
This was genuinely ironic. Matthew's indulgence toward Melanie would leave him homeless. He wouldn't have ended up in this situation if he had a trace of reason.Adrian leaned back in his chair indifferently. "This is the best outcome under the circumstances, assuming we can obtain the evidence I mentioned and turn the tide. Otherwise, these major projects can make him rot in jail.""I'll do my best to find a way, and I hope you will do everything in your power to maintain your undefeated record. As for the rest, we can only leave it to fate. There's little more I can do," I sighed."Ms. Chloe, you're the most charming woman I've ever met. What you've achieved in this matter truly impresses me. It's one of the reasons I'm willing to cooperate with you." Adrian praised me."I'm doing this for Grace. Since I've promised her, I can't go back on my word. Besides, he didn’t know what Melanie was doing and was framed. I couldn’t just do nothing about it."Oh, by the way, let me share so
Hearing Lauren's words, I knew something must have happened."I'm driving. What's going on?" I asked."The Andrews family is in trouble. Their restaurant got sealed today." Lauren informed me with evident delight.I was taken aback, "Sealed?"I genuinely had no idea about this and started to understand what was happening. Atlas had said he would not accept an apology and instructed Dylan to copy the surveillance footage.It seemed Atlas took matters into his own hands.“Everyone’s talking about this on the internet today! I was wondering why it happened at first. As you know, The Andrews’ Diner has a few franchises, and they’re renowned in Foswood. “How could they get sealed just like that? It turns out that they offended Atlas! Haha! Serves them right."Oh, by the way, the Andrews family seems to be a relative of the Thompson family.”"Yeah, the one who wanted to fight me yesterday was Courtney, Mario’s daughter. She's Liora's cousin, and the one who attacked Ava was Courtne
These astonishing reports left the masses infuriated, sparking widespread outrage among the people of Foswood. In a collective effort, the public exposed numerous pieces of evidence against the two families.The investigations also revealed who was working behind the scenes and who was protecting them. Substantial evidence of bribery and corruption on their part was uncovered.The methods used by these two families to harm ordinary citizens were innumerable. Some lesser-known inside information came to light, further inciting public fury.The citizens were shocked to learn that the daily consumables they dealt with every day, particularly the sausages, were involved in such shocking scenes.Unable to bear it any longer, the people collectively condemned these two families, resulting in their swift closure. The owners of the two businesses were arrested, and every charge was proven. They soon declared bankruptcy, disappearing from Foswood forever. Those who had harmed Ava and Jenn
The date for Matthew’s trial had finally been set. During this time, Liora was in a frenzy, harboring even more intense resentment toward me. She created a public spectacle online, exposing Matthew's wrongdoings.Public opinion was overwhelmingly against Matthew, and it seemed like his situation was getting worse.I felt impatient and wanted to counterattack, but Atlas stopped me. Adrian was also present that day.Atlas said to me, "Don't make any moves right now. Let her do whatever she wants. We won’t suppress her. We’ll just let her confidence grow.”"But she's becoming more audacious. She’s saying all those things that even I’m starting to believe is true. Many people online have noticed too. If it goes on like this, won't Matthew be at a disadvantage? The public outcry is strong. If we get to the trial, can he still turn things around?" I said agitatedly."That's even better." Atlas said casually, "She'll be too confident."I was puzzled. "Are we trying to make her feel like
The two people in front of me were a handsome man and a beautiful girl.They were dressed differently. Loak wore a set of black sportswear, looking more upright. Perhaps the food here was good, as he seemed to have filled out slightly, and he wore a pair of nice matching sports shoes. He looked entirely different now.As for Anya, she had changed out of her tight-fitting dress into sportswear, which was a shade of girly pink. She also wore matching sports shoes, and her bronze skin looked a little brighter. Her hair was tied into a ponytail, which made her look youthful. The girl was beautiful, and I liked her even more.Before I could speak, Loak suddenly pulled Anya down with him and knelt in front of us with a thud.That startled me, and I quickly grabbed Anya, trying to make her stand up.But Loak said something to Atlas. He was expressing something in a torrent of words. Atlas's expression remained calm but serious. He looked at Loak and said something to him in an unwavering
I quickly pulled her up and had her sit beside me. "I’m his daughter," I said. I don’t even know why I told her that.She was stunned and looked at me in disbelief. She wiped away my tears instinctively.Then, she solemnly assured me, "I’ll tell my brother to save him so he can see you."I embraced the girl. She was truly my lucky star, and I would surely be able to find my father with the siblings’s help.From Anya's words, I could deduce that my father's mind was still clear.We chatted for a while before Atlas finished talking to Loak and returned to our side. Then, he had Cane escort them back.I saw Anya casting reluctant glances at me. Her smile was beautiful and had an exotic charm.I kept watching them until they disappeared from my sight. Atlas said to me indulgently, "I've arranged for them to learn our language. When she can communicate with you, you can take her back to Pleca Park.""Really?" I exclaimed, feeling like I had obtained a precious treasure. "How did you
