I thought Jared came for a reason, and no matter what, I considered myself an outsider. It's better to avoid some things.So, I turned to Anson and said, "Can I go see Lola?"Sure enough, Anson nodded. "Go ahead! She is in the innermost courtyard. That's her sanctuary. Chat with her for a while and come back for dinner!"I quickly nodded. "Alright, I'll go see her and then come back to have dinner with you!"After that, I smiled at Jared and walked toward the inner part of the house. I sighed quietly as I exited their line of sight.The Huffman house is indeed huge, and the courtyard was grand. As I walked along the corridor, I was surrounded by green trees and pleasant scenery. Even though I had been here before and Anson had shown me around, I was still reluctant to leave.While enjoying the courtyard, I quietly thought about Jared and Ivanna. I tried to imagine how Jared would accommodate Trinity. It was indeed a troublesome problem!Just as I was about to reach the last cour
After returning to Amethyst Apartments, I hurriedly packed a tiny suitcase with some clothes. Atlas showed up soon after.He looked at me and said, "I'll go with you!"I immediately replied, "No need. I can handle it myself. You focus on things here. I'll go check the situation there first.""I know the situation there better than you do, and this time, I'm going to put pressure on the Chandler family," he confidently said."How are you going to apply pressure?" I asked."I've evaluated the topics covered in the previous Gerby session. I'll go into more detail this time. particularly concerning the Grand Tribeca issue they brought up. Byron Chandler likes to play tricks, right? I'll show him what a top-tier game is like.!"I burst into laughter, feeling quite pleased. With him by my side, I felt even more confident. "I feel like I've grown wings when I am with you, It's great! How do we go?"Atlas saw my joyful expression and felt even more proud. "I've already had Cane book the
Atlas, who stood by my side, exuded a cold rejection, and his eyes, like swords coated with frost, sharply scanned the young girl. With a sinister tone, he said, "Get lost!"The girl was shocked. She stepped back, and the corner of her mouth twitched as she stared at Atlas fearfully.But to preserve her dignity, she gulped and murmured, "I’m just making a few friends. What's the big deal? So you’re handsome... so what?"Then, she gave me a disgruntled gaze as if I was the cause of all this; otherwise, she would have had a chance."You..."She turned to face me, about to say something, but Atlas’s commanding voice cut her off again. "I repeat, get lost!"The other girl behind her quickly reached out to pull her away and whispered, "Let's go!"The girl looked at us with some reluctance. At that moment, Arnold arrived and honked the horn.Atlas took my hand and walked decisively toward the car. He opened the door for me, ensured I got in, then got in from the other side. This gent
I followed his gaze, but nothing unusual was there.Atlas calmly pulled me along as we strolled down the street. We satiated our hunger by exploring the entire food street. Afterwards, we left and returned to the car via the same route.Arnold was nowhere to be seen. Not long after, I spotted him not too far away with two girls. They were the same two who had intercepted us at the hotel entrance.Atlas ignored them and pulled me into the vehicle. "It’s them?" I asked Atlas in confusion. He casually replied, "They've been following us all along.""What?" I was surprised. "You mean those two have been following us?""Yeah," Atlas nodded.Shortly after, Arnold entered the car while mumbling indignantly. "I've been protecting you from admirers since childhood. I can’t believe you’re still being surrounded by admirers and followed by little girls all over the street at this age. How embarrassing!"Atlas said shamelessly, " That's what we call charm! You get that?"Arnold stepped on
Sean saw that Arnold seemed very confident, so he nodded immediately."We'll act separately. I'm going to the city to exert as much pressure as possible on Byron Chandler. You all need to make good use of this opportunity." Atlas told Sean, "First, find a reason to control that assistant doctor. He’s probably a lackey who knows a lot of things. Most importantly, he must know what Beatrice has been through all these years. He’s important to this investigation.""We've thought of that. We’re looking for a reason to detain him," Sean said.Arnold was disdainful. "What reasons do you need? Just detain him without any discussion or negotiation. What are you afraid of?""He's right. You've been granted this privilege from above. What are you afraid of?" Atlas scanned Sean coldly."Alright. I understand." Sean immediately agreed."What about me?" I asked.Atlas smiled, gazing at me, and said, "You can come with me. Or you can walk around and get familiar with Gerby.""I'll go with yo
Atlas glanced at his watch and said, "She’s almost here. Get some rest. She’ll be here soon.""When did you make the call? Why didn't I know?" I asked. He always managed to surprise me."I called her after we arrived last night. I thought you needed company, and there are some things I don't trust you to handle alone, so I called her. She took the early morning train to get here," said Atlas.Atlas grabbed his coat and said, "I'm going to the city with Arnold. You rest in the room for a while and wait for her. She’ll come see you. I've booked the room next door for her. You can talk when she arrives.""Okay!" I was very happy and glad to have Lauren here with me.After Atlas finished speaking, he left the hotel with Arnold. I immediately called Lauren, who answered, "Don't worry, I'm in a taxi. Why didn't you call me to join you yesterday? I had to travel alone.""I was in a hurry. I could barely remember to pack," I replied. "I'll wait for you!"I hung up after repeating the ad
Hazelyn looked down at me. The height advantage seemed to give her confidence."What? You’re still wandering around Gerby? How audacious!" Her tone was full of resentment and was extremely sinister."That’s right, Miss Hazelyn." I calmly raised my eyebrows, stared at her, and disdainfully said, "Do I need to be brave to be here?""Girls, did you hear that? Someone wants to make trouble in Gerby!" Hazelyn hugged her arms, looked at me with a sidelong glance, and said, "You need my approval to be here.""Who is she? Doesn't she know her place?""Exactly. Step aside!"The followers behind her were making a commotion.Lauren coldly snorted. "Oh! I didn’t think I’d see such an unruly crowd in this remote place. Are you pretending to be a gangster? Do you think you're some kind of star just because a few people are following you? But nobody told you, did they? Flies are attracted to feces!""You're talking nonsense! Stop making baseless accusations! I'll kick you out!" A woman in smo
Hazelyn's demeanor was very domineering as if she were the owner of the mall.I calmly glanced at her. "Your mall? Even if it is your mall, you don't have the authority to kick anyone out! Moreover, this mall may not necessarily be yours.""Her bragging skills are indeed impressive!" Lauren added sarcastically."Don't talk about irrelevant things. Otherwise, you'll end up embarrassing yourself again! I advise you to learn a lesson from a few days ago." I spoke to Hazelyn with a severe tone."Don't act pretentiously in front of me. Since you've come to Gerby, follow Gerby's rules!" Hazelyn was incredibly arrogant.I confidently said, "I don't know what rules Gerby has, but even if it does, they certainly aren't set by you. So, don't flaunt your authority in front of me!"All that being said, Lauren and I tried to stroll past. Unexpectedly, the people behind her blocked the passage, standing in our way and looking at us disdainfully.Hazelyn looked at me triumphantly, saying, "T
