Eleanor said with a hint of helplessness, "Ms. Chloe is the wife of the CEO of ATL Empire."

Her words shattered Andrea's arrogant demeanor.

I calmly added, "Mrs. Andrea, it's not easy for us to meet today. There are a few things I'd like to say to you. Regardless of your relationship with Liora or what kind of friend you are to her, I can tell you that Avalon Hills has always been Tanum’s project."

The atmosphere in the room became incredibly awkward, and Vernon's face had darkened beyond recognition.

For a businessman, this was the most frustrating moment.

"I do not know the specifics of your negotiations when she persuaded you to move into Ardora. But from what I understand, she used you as bait to achieve her goal—to take over Ardora." Unfortunately, you've been used."

"That's impossible..." Andrea's voice trembled.

"She's about to face a trial for trying to take over Ardora. If you're interested, I can notify you to attend as an observer. You can get a closer look at the mis

    Arriving at the restaurant, I finally called Atlas. It turned out he was also having dinner with some guests. Surprised by the quick end of my meeting, he asked, "Why so soon?"With a triumphant tone, I replied, "It didn't go well. I just wanted to stand up for Eleanor, and she vented the anger that has been building up all these years.""Oh! Impressive! You messed up the meeting, yet you're still so happy. Should I come over? I'll have Dylan pick you up," he asked tenderly, his tone filled with indulgence.Eleanor looked at us with envy."No, thanks. Eleanor and I are at the seafood restaurant. We're in the mood for fish. Once you're ready, come and pick me up. We'll be waiting here," I told him."Alright, see you later," he said before we hung up.We ordered the fish we each wanted, chatting about the earlier events while enjoying the unique seafood. It was a delightful time.As we were about to finish, an unexpected incident disrupted our peace. Suddenly, a person appeared in

    Her actions completely enraged me, and I slammed the table while shouting, "Don't you dare! I dare any of you to touch her!"Startled by my furious shout, the guy was completely dumbfounded. Perhaps he didn't expect a woman like me to stand fearlessly against their group. He glanced at me and then at Kimberly, seeming unsure if they should take action against us.In truth, my heart was pounding, too. These guys were all fearless youngsters, clueless about life and death. Given their numbers and the fact that they were all guys, we would be at a disadvantage if they decided to get physical.However, I couldn't just stand there and watch them humiliate us, especially fearing they might harm Eleanor. That was why I had to put up a strong front, at least in appearance.Although I knew the principle of not picking fights you can't win, I couldn't accept being openly bullied by these reckless individuals.Just then, the manager rushed over. "Please calm down, everyone. Let's talk th

    One of the guys closest to him suddenly made a move, saying, "Who the hell are you? How dare you stick your nose in our business?”To everyone's surprise, Arton swiftly caught the punch coming at him before he twisted and pushed him down the aisle. The guy ended up colliding with Kimberly.She staggered but steadied herself quickly. Infuriated, she roared, "Why are you afraid of him? Attack him together! That’ll teach him how not to meddle in other people’s business.”A few rough-looking guys rushed toward Arton.The restaurant was in chaos. Diners who were closer scattered hurriedly, forgetting about their meals.I took advantage of the chaos to pull Eleanor close to me.It was impossible to leave at this point, and I couldn't do that anyway.Eleanor was scared stiff, her face pale. "I'm fine, Chlo. Stay away and don't get involved."The men grappled with Arton, but they were no match for him. He had grown up fighting brawls and was fearless.Soon, the men were all on the gro

    His voice wasn't loud, but it carried a terrifying force. His jaw tightened, while his striking bright eyes locked onto Kimberly. A cold aura emanated from him as he approached us.I distinctly noticed Kimberly clutching my arm more tightly and trembling slightly. The entire restaurant felt like an icy cave, with tension hanging in the air.Even the onlookers, normally eager for gossip, dared not make a sound.Eleanor called out weakly, "Mr. Atlas."The rest of the patrons whispered to each other, "It really is Atlas. Wow, he's so handsome.""I can’t believe it’s really him.”As Atlas moved closer to us, I could hear Kimberly gulping.“I'll say it again...." Atlas's sharp eyes turned toward Kimberly, and he suddenly roared, "Let her go!"Kimberly shivered, and the broken bottle dropped from her hand.Atlas kicked her, causing me to stumble a little in the process as she tried to clutch onto me. He managed to pull me into his embrace.I heard a muffled sound, accompanied by th

    Just then, my phone rang. I quickly answered when I saw it was Ivanna. "Hey.""How are you?" Ivanna exclaimed, "You scared me!""How did you know?""How could I not know? It's all over TikTok!" She exclaimed, "What happened? Where are you now?""I’m fine now. I'm at home," I said calmly. "I ran into Kimberly, then Atlas came.""Oh my goodness. The Terrell family should all be locked up. They’re all so full of themselves!" Ivanna rambled on the phone, and I heard Lauren’s voice faintly in the background."It's alright. Don't worry," I reassured her. "I'm fine now, thanks to Charlie’s dad. He saved me before Atlas arrived."As I spoke, I glanced at Atlas. He was holding me and gently touching my face.After I hung up, Atlas called Dylan to remove some things from the internet. It seemed that someone had taken the opportunity to leak some information about what had happened.My phone kept on buzzing. I could tell everyone was concerned about my safety.The next day, I bought a f

    After I bade them farewell, Arton saw me out. I thanked him once again.He looked at me and asked, "Who was that girl?""She’s from the Terrell family in Bourdamun. When trouble struck her family, she pinned the blame on me." I said. "She was no one important, so I didn't investigate her and just let her be.”"Well..." Arton hesitated and looked at me.I was sure he wanted to ask about Melanie.I waited for him to speak.“About Melanie… Do you have any news from her?" He couldn't hold back."No." I shook my head. "They haven’t caught her. She probably won't dare show her face so easily."He nodded, smiling awkwardly. "Is she in prison because of the Thompson family?”I pondered for a moment before speaking, "It was because of the death of Matthew’s mother. I was the one who sent her in."Arton raised his brows.I smiled at him and asked, "Are you surprised?”I recounted what happened to Arton without leaving anything out. Then, I went over the current situation, detailing h

    I scrutinized her carefully. Honestly, she was beautiful, but there was a hint of naivety about her. She had a subtle lack of sharpness that I couldn't quite put my finger on.Her answer was affirmative. I gestured and said, "Let's go to my office."Carol quickly brought us another glass of water when she saw us return.I gestured for the girl to sit while I took a seat on the sofa.I looked at her and asked, "Why are you here to see me?""Ms. Chloe, Ms. Trinity asked me to tell you that she and Ms. Stella are visiting the Avila family," she informed me."The Avila family? What else did she say?" I asked urgently. "When did she tell you that, and why didn't she call me directly?""She didn't say anything else, and she couldn't call you directly," the girl replied calmly. "If there's any new information, I'll come see you. Also, she gave you this as evidence for the trial."As she finished speaking, she handed me a tiny USB flash drive.I quickly took it, laying it in my palm t

    I stepped into the elevator and immediately dialed Atlas, asking if he was in the office."Yeah, just finished a meeting," he replied.I instructed him to wait for me in the office, assuring him I'd be there soon.Skipping the lobby, I headed straight to the underground parking lot. I hopped in my car and drove straight to ATL Empire.Since my relationship with Atlas was confirmed, I rarely visited ATL Empire to avoid unwanted attention. The probing gazes were something I hadn't quite gotten used to.Today, as I entered the building in a hurry, I paid no attention to how others looked at me. I greeted the receptionist and headed upstairs right away.Atlas was indeed waiting in his office. When he saw me, he walked out with a smile, pulling me into a warm embrace.Looking down at me, he asked, "What's got you rushing over here like a fire's lit under you? Are you coming to me for comfort?"Without hesitation, I nestled against him. Looking up, I recounted the incident with Lola,

    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. 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. I didn't want to make any promises to the old l

    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!
