I gazed at Atlas's handsome profile, feeling like I was falling in love all over again.

"I finally understand why Liora has been keeping a low profile lately." I smiled contentedly.

"Yeah, because she's lost her confidence. After Melvern cut off the funding, Liora's plans took a major hit. She feels the crisis and wants to liquidate her remaining assets as quickly as possible. What else does she have left?" Atlas chuckled, his smile charming.

"She only has Ardora left."

"Exactly! She intended to hand Ardora over to Melvern, but he refused. However, Melvern did release his shares, all because Liora threatened him. If he didn't comply, she would attract more funds and dilute his ownership."

"Liora completely manipulated Matthew and Melanie. They walked right into this mess themselves," I said.

"Once Matthew got caught in Liora's trap, he lost all autonomy. That's why he handed over Muborough to Melanie to manage. Melanie was the one acting out and disrupting their peaceful lives. S

    "Do you think... Liora's son is Felix's?"I stared at Atlas, waiting for his response.Atlas immediately extended his hand toward me. I quickly stood up and nestled into his arms. I really wanted to know who Liora's child belonged to."She was married to Atticus back then, and Atticus only found out later," I shared with Atlas. "This is something that Atticus told me and Arnold has also mentioned. I think Atticus couldn't possibly not know who the child belongs to.""This hasn't been confirmed, but Atticus's behavior makes it suspicious," Atlas said, looking at me in his arms."Atticus's behavior? What do you mean?" I asked."Atticus has always been clear-headed. He wouldn't overlook this, but it still needs to be confirmed," Atlas replied vaguely. "Because he has consistently supported you in dealing with Liora, and this is undoubtedly part of his manipulation.""I already know that. He's never been a good person," I said noncommittally.He gave me a gentle smile, kissed me, a

    A sudden force knocked the phone out of my hand, and I tumbled down with no chance of stabilizing myself. An instinctive scream escaped my lips, and I reached forward with both hands to try to keep my balance.In this terrifying moment, I saw another dark figure emerge from beneath the steps, quickly catching me as I descended. The momentum caused us to stumble involuntarily.Once stabilized, I saw that the person who caught me was Dylan.Still in shock, I glared at the steps above, only to find Liora standing there. Her expression was quite complex, her mouth hanging open in a ridiculous manner.There was astonishment on her face, and she gritted her teeth. Obviously, I hadn't fallen down as she had hoped, leaving her infuriated.At that moment, another unexpected event occurred.Seeing me glare at her, Liora tried to descend the steps to get to me. Atlas, however, approached her suddenly. With a powerful kick, he sent Liora tumbling down the steps.Her body flew out like a rag

    Sitting in the car, I still had some lingering fear for Liora and me.Sitting in the passenger seat, I sincerely thanked Dylan, "Thank you, Dylan! I would’ve had a nasty fall today if it weren't for you."Dylan softly replied, "You're welcome. It's what I should do."I looked at Dylan incredulously and asked, "How did you know she would push me? I had no idea she was behind me."Dylan immediately explained, "When I brought the car over, I saw her turn around and rush toward you from behind. Her footsteps were getting faster, and I had a premonition that she would make a move. Fortunately, I judged correctly and managed to catch you in time.""I didn't even sense her coming from behind!" I exclaimed in amazement."She didn't come directly from behind you. In fact, you passed each other closely," Dylan clarified.I took a deep breath, suppressing my fear."It seems like she never expected you to be with Mr. Atlas," Dylan continued to explain. "She approached from the outside, and

    When I heard Atlas's words, I abruptly turned to look at him. He quickly adjusted my head and continued to blow-dry my hair."That’s right!" Atlas answered confidently, leaving me a little puzzled.With a hint of unease, I asked him, "How did your grandfather find out about our marriage?""I’m sure he has some people working for him. It wouldn’t have been that hard to dig up this information," Atlas replied simply.It seemed that the old man from the Pierce family wasn't completely confined to their ancestral home. He still had some control over business outside the home too."So does that mean Celine knows about this too?" I said. "I didn’t expect your grandfather to make the first move. I thought Celine would be the one to take action."Atlas's fingers combed through my long hair as he blew it dry meticulously. It was a pleasant sensation."It doesn't matter who knew first, especially for me. The so-called Pierce family members currently have no say over my life and certainly

    Atlas looked at my excited face and said, "Didn't you say you wanted to end this quickly? Let's do it, then."He grinned.Just then, his phone rang again. He picked it up, glanced at it, raised an eyebrow, and answered. "Yes?"I heard Dylan's voice on the other end. "Mr. Atlas, she went to meet Felix's brother, Franklin, today. He's a lawyer, but when Franklin found out about the incident, he left quietly without meeting her.""Good! Let's apply pressure through public opinion and have Adrian request a court hearing." After saying that, he hung up the phone.I looked at him happily. "That was about Liora, right? If everything goes well, the court hearing will happen soon, won’t it?""Absolutely," Atlas responded confidently."That's great!" I was even more delighted."Doesn't this call for a thank you?" Atlas looked at me with a mischievous smile.I quickly leaned over and pecked him on the lips.He extended his hand and pulled me close. "Just one kiss? Can't you show a l

    She pouted, rushing to hug me.With a look of grievance, she said, "Don't take what I said yesterday to heart. I didn't mean it!"I retorted unkindly, "You didn't mean it? Come on, you totally meant it. You're just explaining yourself, and explanations are just lies."I deliberately exposed her, "Deep down, you thought I would favor Trinity. Honestly, if you tap into your conscience and ask yourself about it, you'll know I've been quite lenient toward you."Ivanna whispered, "I know you're good to me, but I feel like it's different with Jared this time.""I told Atlas that if he could contact Jared, I'd ask him to call you. But even Atlas can't reach him right now. So just relax and wait for a message from him. That's your best option right now," I said bluntly, heedless of whether she could accept it."If you love him, you need to make some sacrifices, especially in times like these. You can’t appear to be irrational and make him feel like you're unreasonable or just causing tro

    Ivanna watched as she charged toward us with an intense glare. Ivanna stepped forward without hesitation and looked at Liora, saying sarcastically, "Oh! This is the most delightful thing that has happened to me lately. How did you end up with that bruise, Ms. Liora? It seems like the heavens have finally opened their eyes."When she heard Ivanna's words, Liora became even more furious, "What did you say? Say it again!"Ivanna was unperturbed. Instead, she playfully retorted, "I can repeat it as many times as you want. What's the matter? Don't you like hearing the truth? Well, tough luck. That’s a fact. Looks like you're reaping what you sow. Did you do something terrible again?"Her words made Lauren burst into laughter.The woman who was with Liora caught up to her and grabbed her. Liora shouted, "Why are you pulling me away?!"Frightened, the woman quickly released her grip, looking pale as she glanced at us.Liora rushed toward Ivanna. It startled me as I was afraid she woul

    When I saw her expression, I seized the opportunity to continue, "Your tactics aren’t that impressive. Where do you think those dump trucks came from? It’s not as though we can’t connect the dots from all those incidents.""Chloe..." Liora was shocked.I spoke slowly, emphasizing each word, "Remember that name forever."I glanced contemptuously at her, thinking that it would be enough to make her nervous. I turned to Lauren and Ivanna and said, "Let's go!"They didn't hesitate and immediately turned around in sync when they heard my decision to leave.Ivanna quickly caught up with me and asked, "How did she break her hand? Did I hear that right? Did she try to do something to you?"Lauren added, "What did she do?""The important thing is, her hand didn't break because of me. Evil can’t suppress the righteous. Her sinister actions backfired," I said as I continued walking outside.In the car, Lauren and Ivanna kept asking me what happened to her hand.I told them about how Lior

    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!
