Chapter 1104 The Catalyst for Internal Strife
He noticed me looking at him, so he looked at me and softly asked, "What's wrong?"With everyone around, I couldn't say anything else, so I just asked him, "Is it delicious?""Of course. Don't forget, when I was on the run, I ate everything. When I was starving, there were never such delicious meals for me back then. Also, during my wilderness training, I've eaten everything. I'll tell you about it later." He looked very serious as he said this.I found it hard to imagine that Atlas, a high and mighty figure, could sit down and eat humble meals with everyone. I was moved and wanted to throw myself into his arms and kiss him.Not only was he capable of protecting me, but he could uphold justice for those victimized as well.He could easily ignore the Chandler family's case, but he was putting all his effort into it. He was not only investing in Gerby and suppressing the Chandler family, but also fully committing to this case.Only I knew that he didn't really need to invest in Ger
Chapter 1105 Finding Another Breakthrough
Sean slammed the table and exclaimed, "Exactly! Then Natasha informed the Chandler family of Beatrice’s actions. The Chandler family had internal strife, and that was how Beatrice stabbed Hazelyn. “She must have recklessly revealed the reasons, which led to Byron's decision to send her to the hospital.""But after all, Beatrice is his daughter, and he didn’t want to kill her yet," Gavin added.Lauren interjected, "What he did is even worse than killing her right away!”Everyone nodded in agreement.Sean continued, "That indicates that Natasha not only deceived Beatrice but also led herself to a dead-end. The Chandler family, or Jocelyn, will think that Natasha is a time bomb. So, think about it. What's the safest option for them?"Everyone understood Sean's point. He nodded. "Death. Silencing her is the safest way to make her disappear forever. Therefore, I deduce that since we can’t find any traces of Natasha, it's highly likely that she has been killed by the Chandler family."
Chapter 1106 Witness to the Car Accident
The elite team proved its worth, and two days later, the investigation results surprised everyone.Gavin had found Jonah, who had been missing for many years.When he wearily returned to the temporary office, everyone was present. It had become an unwritten rule for all of us to gather here in the evening, regardless of the investigation results. Gavin poured himself a large glass of water as soon as he came in, then said, "Finn, I'm hungry."Finn smiled and quickly said, "Dinner will be ready soon."After his announcement, Finn left to instruct the kitchen to prepare the meal. He had become our logistics manager.Soon, several dishes were served, just like in a restaurant. Sean inspected them and said, "Finn, you don't need to do all this in the future. Just make a big pot of food with some meat in it. That’ll be enough. It's too much trouble otherwise. But we have to eat meat as it sharpens our minds."Everyone chuckled at Sean's words. Finn just smirked. "Some of those dishes
Chapter 1107 Everything is Too Well-Planned
"But when they arrived at the workshop, they still had some minor tasks to finish before leaving. Jonah waited for them in the workshop. He watched them work while chatting with them, and he noticed Byron tinkering with a car outside. He casually commented to the workers, 'What’s Byron up to again? Why is he checking the car on a rainy day? Maybe he has his eye on Mr. Eric’s car.’”As Gavin talked, Alvin listened motionlessly, gripping his fists tightly. It was clear he was very anxious. After all, this was the latest clue related to his father's death.Just then, all the food was served. Finn first gave Gavin a large bowl of food, then gestured for everyone to start eating.Lauren helped me and Atlas get some food before sitting beside us.Once everyone had filled their plates, Gavin continued, "Jonah said that when those workers heard his remarks, they looked at the parking area and jokingly commented, 'Jonah, you might be right; maybe he really does have his eye on Mr. Eric’s ca
Chapter 1108 Murder for Money
Atlas patted my back gently to comfort me.Gavin had finished his meal. He wiped his mouth, sighed, and said, "When Eric was cremated, Jonah regretted it deeply and blamed himself for not trying harder to stop Eric. He cried inconsolably that day when he saw Eric’s wife and kids.""What happened next?" I asked.Finn hurriedly walked over and refilled Gavin’s plate. Gavin gave him a thumbs up."A few days later, he heard that Byron took over the cable factory. Jonah went to confront him and accused him of being up to something. Byron was very polite at that time and explained why he had taken over the cable factory. Jonah was furious.""Anyone would be angry. He was taking advantage of someone else’s crisis," someone commented, slamming the table.Lauren immediately countered, "He wasn’t just taking advantage of a crisis. He murdered someone for money.”"Why did Jonah leave Gerby then?" I asked."He had no choice. After that, Jonah was constantly attacked. He was innocent, but h
Chapter 1109 The Chandler Family Dinner
Gavin looked at Sean and asked, "How about you? Have there been any developments with the Chandler family?""Hazelyn has been behaving herself. Our preliminary investigation suggests that Beatrice is in that Chandler family villa. When Mrs. Chloe encountered Hazelyn at the mall, our surveillance team saw her entering the villa angrily. She left only half an hour later."My heart leaped to my throat, and I turned to Atlas, saying, "This is bad. She must have hurt Beatrice again. We need to rescue her immediately. Otherwise, she'll end up dead at Hazelyn's hands. This passive approach won't work."Atlas nodded, lost in thought.Finn looked anxious too. "Why don’t we rescue Beatrice first, Mr. Atlas, then figure out the rest later?""Every moment for Beatrice is an agonizing despair. My note must have given her hope, but she was moved so suddenly. She must be going through physical and mental torment right now." I added.Everyone agreed with my suggestion."What has Byron been up t
Chapter 1110 Ugly Consequences

He, like Dylan, excelled in both literary and military pursuits. Atlas’s safety was naturally entrusted to Dylan and Cane.Dylan was currently dealing with something else, which left Cane by Atlas's side.The Chandler family greeted us warmly and sincerely when we arrived. Some of them seemed unwilling to do so, but they had no choice. Byron must have experienced the harsh reality of the busine
Chapter 1111 A Betraying Boyfriend
After introducing his family, everyone finally took their seats.Atlas remained aloof, his demeanor exuding an air of nobility that kept others at a distance.Byron pulled out all the stops today, exhibiting seamless cooperation with Gabriel. I kept a close eye on Gabriel, wondering why he would betray Beatrice without hesitation and even add insult to injury.Beatrice's mental health certification bore his signature, attesting to her supposed mental issues. It was evident how despicable this man was. If I were to say that the individuals in front of us were a bunch of beasts, it wouldn't be an exaggeration at all.I heard Byron ask Atlas, "Mr. Atlas, it seems you're making a substantial investment in Gerby."Atlas gave a faint smile. "Gerby has always been my investment target. It's just business.""Mr. Atlas, do you have any thoughts on collaboration?" Byron couldn't contain his excitement."We have our partners in every region. Of course, it depends on the nature of the pro
