I nodded earnestly. I knew that only someone who cared for me genuinely could say such things.

"I know. After helping him clear his name this time, I will step back completely. I just told him not to seek help from me anymore. I have no obligation to always speak up for him. I’ve decided to stop my involvement no matter what.”

Lauren looked at me. "You said that yourself. Remember it. Some things should be done for those who deserve them. But Matthew..."

Lauren sneered, shook her head, and said, "He’s not worth it, nor does he deserve it. He and Atlas are worlds apart. There's no comparison, not considering their wealth or status. Just based on character, he is a complete loser.

“If you ever feel soft-hearted again, think about all the nonsense he did to you before."

I chuckled. I felt like a child she was protecting, and what Lauren said was indeed true.

Adrian called me again, informing me that he had applied for a trial postponement. This would give us some extra time to gath

    When Lauren was discharged from the hospital, I went to pick her up, only to run into Liora in the hospital lobby.Lauren whispered to me, "Why is she everywhere?"I smiled nonchalantly. "I had Grayson check on this before. Liora visits the hospital often because her father’s hospitalized here, supposedly with rectal cancer."Lauren scoffed, "That’s karma. They have done many terrible things.”We talked and laughed. Liora saw us as we headed toward the exit. She cast a sly glance at us and remarked, "I didn't expect you to be out of the hospital so soon. Be careful. Don't get yourself into trouble again."I snorted disdainfully. "Those who do wrong will meet their own downfall. If someone dares to pull something again, she won't be so lucky."When I responded, she stopped and looked at me arrogantly. "Don't get too complacent, Chloe. You should always have a backup plan.”Lauren had always ignored her before, but she couldn't hold back this time. She stopped abruptly and said co

    I took a step forward, still scrutinizing her. "Threaten you? I usually don’t bother to do anything like that. I just can't stand your attitude."She looked at me menacingly. "Do you think you're really that lucky? Or do you believe Atlas can protect you?"I looked into her eyes, smiling disdainfully. "He's doing a pretty good job protecting me right now. Anyone who dares harm me will face dire consequences. You've seen more than one example. I wouldn't mind if you tried your luck. Fate will tell who will go to hell"I grinned mischievously. "You were too ambitious. You’ve committed too many sins, and your time is running out."My words angered her, and she raised a hand to slap me.Unfortunately for her, she was shorter than me, and I was prepared. I deftly blocked her and retaliated with a fierce slap of my own.I didn't know if it hurt her, but my hand was numb.After the slap, I looked at her, playfully saying, "How was that? Did it hurt? If you dare lay a hand on me again,

    I looked at Oliver apologetically and whispered, "I'm sorry, Mr. Oliver. Don't blame her. She was just insulted because of this moments ago. Of course she’s upset."Oliver nodded with a heavy heart, still looking after the car that had sped away. "There’s no need to apologize. It's not your fault, it’s mine. Thank you for taking care of her."I sighed. "You don’t need to thank me. After all, she got hurt because of me. I'm heading back to the company now."Throughout our conversation, Oliver's eyes remained fixed forlornly on the road, even after the car had disappeared.As Carol and I got into the car, she remarked, "Lauren really doesn’t care about anything, huh? No matter what he’s done, he’s still one of the big shots of Foswood. Anyone would respect him because of that, but look at how she spoke to him.”I sighed softly. "What's done is done."Carol sighed too. "You can tell that Oliver really cares about Lauren.”"The more he cares about her, the more it hurts.”When we r

    Poppy had an interesting expression on her face as she said that. Her smile seemed both playful and sly as she looked at me.I knew exactly what was going on. She was trying to play mind games and engage in subtle rivalry with me.I understood what she was thinking. Her words had a bitter undertone to them despite her radiant smile. The true purpose of her visit was likely not as simple as it appeared. She had come all this way to see me, and I didn’t believe it was just a casual visit, especially since we didn’t really know each other. What she said seemed like a joke between friends, but it could also be a provocation between rivals in love. It even sounded like she was gloating.I remained indifferent, pretending not to care. After all, Poppy was no friend of mine.I casually took a sip of the coffee and calmly responded, "Well, Ms. Poppy, it depends on where you heard that."My nonchalant demeanor left Poppy a little perplexed, and I could sense her frustration.

    I was convinced that she didn’t believe I could be so confident. Maybe I even seemed a little arrogant to her.But I had no intention of backing down. I continued, saying, "It’s just fate. Take Harmony, for example. Even if she transformed herself to be like me, she would still be Harmony, not me.""Harmony transformed herself to be like you?" Poppy asked incredulously."You probably understand Harmony better than me." I chuckled, throwing the question back at Poppy. Then, I explained, "As the saying goes, know yourself, know your enemy, and you will never be defeated. Harmony is your competitor. Don't you understand her?"A moment later, I asked her again, "Was that confusing?" Poppy seemed uneasy. "I envy you for having such confidence."I smirked. "It's not just confidence. If you don’t do anything out of line, nothing will happen to you. Harmony is a tragic example."She also came to me for advice back then, but unfortunately..." I shrugged. I used this example deliberately

    Poppy withdrew her hand stiffly, her face turning slightly pale.I offered an apologetic smile. "He's always been reserved. My apologies!"Poppy regained her composure. "No problem."Her smile was dazzling, but I sensed it was only surface-level.Poppy was undeniably beautiful and flawless in every way. Her makeup was impeccable, fitting for a professional actress who effortlessly mastered the art.Desperately maintaining her composed demeanor, she seemed to overlook the recent encounter."I've always wanted to visit your place, but I've been quite busy. You know how it is in our line of work. I have limited freedom, especially for me. It's quite inconvenient for me to step out with those crazy fans," she shared.I chuckled. "I understand. Excessive adoration can be burdensome, even irrational."As I spoke, my gaze remained fixed on her face.With a subtle tone, she added, "I envy your life, having your own career, and getting to enjoy your freedom."I laughed heartily.

    He saw me smiling, and his eyes sparkled with delight, becoming even more clingy.I helplessly leaned into his embrace. With a hint of jealousy, I said, "Look at that beauty just now. Her eyes were practically glued to you. Are you not the least bit tempted? Are you pretending to be indifferent in front of me?" Poppy got on my nerves. She dared to flirt with my man right in front of me. Were women nowadays so audacious?"I don't even look at them. They have the right to look, and I have the right to ignore them. My eyes only see one person. The one who has been with me under the same blanket since I was a child."His words made me stare at him in disbelief. What on earth was he talking about? Under the same blanket since he was a child?"Have I shared a blanket with you since we were kids?" I looked at him, incredulous."Of course, always. I've had the habit of sleeping with you since I was a child. I don't feel anything when I hug someone else.""You hugged others?" I caught

    "I wanted to kill Matthew, then. Not only did he take away my true love, but he abandoned you in the end and even drove you to jump into the river."The mention of this incident caused him to grit his teeth."I was angry at you and outraged at his heartlessness."I leaned against his chest. "I'm sorry."He embraced me, gently stroking my hair, and continued, "But I also felt relieved. Because, from then on, I would never let go. Even if you didn't want to divorce him, I would disagree. I swore to help you leave him as soon as possible."An indescribable pain spread through my body. I knew how hard he had worked to find me. It took him 18 years. That was 18 sets of 365 days.I hugged him, repeatedly saying, "I'm sorry. I won't leave you again!"He buried his head in my arms, murmuring, "Do you know how terrifying it was without you? Do you know how I felt when you let go of my hand and flew out the car window?"As he spoke, I could feel his body trembling slightly."I searched

    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.

    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!
