She listened attentively until I finished and said, "Thank them for me.""Forget about Michelle. Thanking her would be as useful as jumping into a pool of mud. But you need to thank Theo. You have no idea what he did. He got beaten up by the Chandler family's servants many times just to find out exactly where you were.""The Chandler family?" Beatrice looked at me, her gaze wandering. I knew she was thinking about something.Just then, a soft knock on the door interrupted us. I quickly got up to answer and saw Finn standing outside. He looked especially spirited today, well-groomed, cleanly shaved, and handsome."Is she awake?" he asked gently.I nodded. "Yes, she's awake!"I glanced at the spot where he had been bitten yesterday, asking, "Are you okay? Did the doctor take care of it?"He nodded quickly. "No problem. It's been taken care of. It's just a scratch."I thought that he definitely wasn't telling the whole truth. He had been lucky to avoid a bad injury given what happ
I supported her, since she still seemed fragile. Finn quickly stepped forward, stooped down, and lifted her. She was startled and looked at me in panic, shouting, "Chlo..."I hurriedly approached and held her hand, "Don't be nervous. He carried you out to save you. Don't worry. You can trust him!"Beatrice seemed a little reluctant to look at Finn. He had already started to step outside.The dishes were set in the dining room, and Atlas came downstairs. When Atlas saw Finn place Beatrice at the dining table, he walked over slowly, looked at me, and gently said, "Not bad. I believe you'll recover soon."Beatrice stared at Atlas, but it was with a kind of unfamiliarity and speculation, not the usual greed and longing that women had when looking at Atlas.I quickly smiled at Beatrice and said, "Beatrice, this is my husband, Atlas. A lot has happened in my life during these ten years. I'll slowly tell you what happened. You need to get well soon."Beatrice nodded, then smiled sligh
During dinner, Sean and Arnold arrived together. It seemed that headquarters was wherever we were. Beatrice seemed much more spirited after waking up from her nap. Lauren had braided her long hair into a fishtail braid, giving her a delicate appearance that exuded a hint of fairy-like charm.When Finn returned and saw her, his eyes lit up.I had also gotten some rest, having had a nap while Beatrice slept.We were relaxed and at ease.Outside, the world was in chaos. That morning, news of Hazelyn's arrest spread like wildfire on the internet, exploding in Gerby like a heavyweight bomb.The details had all been exposed, including the medical examination report.Suddenly, searching for keywords like "asylum," "imprisonment," "torture," "brutality," and others yielded a plethora of related reports. The click rates skyrocketed, and major websites kept reposting the news.The accompanying images were horrifying, but none of our related personnel's photos had leaked, showing the ski
Sean had brought back information revealing that Deputy Director Raymond Holt and the head of citizen data, Melissa Marrow, had supported Byron. However, the real mastermind remained elusive.Deep in thought, Atlas told Sean, "Start investigating from the prison. There's something fishy about Pierre Keller's sudden death there. I don’t think his death is that simple, considering what happened to Pierre's wife and daughter.""I've already started looking into all the prison guards who had contact with Pierre," Sean informed Atlas. "I'm checking them one by one."Atlas nodded and advised Sean, "Keep a close eye on Byron's contacts. Pay attention to every phone call he makes."I felt that the situation had reached its climax. The truth was about to be unveiled.Sean added, "We've been monitoring the situation online. Byron seems to be trying to suppress those reports.""Let it continue to ferment. Intensify the pressure on him," Atlas determinedly instructed. "The more he tries to s
She flipped through the next photo and an unusually gentle smile appeared on her face.I proceeded to tell her why I had separated from Matthew. When I reached the crucial part, she trembled angrily, her eyes red. I sensed her anger brewing and quickly comforted her. "It's all better now. I have Atlas who loves me. I don't have to suffer anymore. Whenever things seem bad, it's a sign that good luck is on the way."Surprisingly, she hugged me, reminiscent of how she had protected me during our school days.My nose tingled, and I told Lauren, "Back then, Beatrice used to protect me like this and make sure I wasn’t being bullied."Lauren, who was a very sensitive person, wiped a tear away and looked at Beatrice. "From now on, Beatrice, we won't let you suffer even a bit! Chlo's Mr. Atlas is out for revenge for you."Beatrice was surprised when she heard Lauren's words. She looked at me and asked, "...Mr. Atlas, is he… really your husband?""Yes, it’s exactly as you see. He's my husb
Atlas looked at me and nodded. He kissed me and said, "My wife is getting smarter. You’re well-trained!""Will it be dangerous?" I looked at Atlas's face with some concern and asked seriously."How could it be? When did your husband make a mistake?" Atlas looked at me, full of pride.After he finished speaking, he leaned in, and I just went with the flow.…The sky was sunny the following day. There was a scent of flowers and the sound of birds chirping outside the window.I looked at Beatrice and asked, "How about we go out to the yard, bask in the sun, and enjoy the birds and flowers outside?"She had a much better complexion than when she first returned. She turned her head to look out the window and immediately agreed to my suggestion, saying, "Sure! Let's go down and sit for a while."Lauren went out with Arnold today.There were only me, the caregiver, and Beatrice at home.After speaking, she attempted to sit up independently. She sighed and said, "After so many years
She smiled at me and said, "I've forgotten the heat of the sun. I haven't felt the taste of sweating for several years. It's nice to enjoy life like this!"I smiled, "Then cherish it. When you're almost recovered, If you don’t mind, come to Foswood and spend some time with me!"A light of longing appeared in her eyes."My home in Foswood is also beautiful, and the air there is quite good! If you want a quiet place to be alone, I also have a spare courtyard. You can stay as long as you want!" I sincerely invited her.However, I'm afraid that Beatrice won't have much time for herself in the future. Once she overturns Byron, she must take over Keller's Dairy and the Chandler Group.How much time did she have for herself?She lacked someone she could fully trust and who could genuinely help her."Okay!" She looked at the distant sky. "I want to go! Chloe, I didn't expect that I could see you again and have the chance to be with you. God has been kind to me. I'm content.""Everythin
I could only sit quietly beside her, heavy-hearted.Beatrice continued with a self-deprecating expression, "The fact is, he had another family. His focus was on another home, raising a mistress and fathering an illegitimate child!"She chuckled, "And these two put on a show in front of us almost every day! Shamelessly playing the role of pitiful creatures, like parasites on my mom, living comfortably off her and making their parasitic life so splendid! In the end, they even laid hands on their benefactor."Listening to Beatrice's account, I truly felt speechless."Who is Byron Chandler? What does he take my mom for? I rarely saw my dad when I was young since he was always busy. He didn't hug or kiss me like other dads did."I thought it was because he worked hard for our family. Hahaha... Byron Chandler was busy carefully arranging and hatching schemes to get fortune and commit murder!" Beatrice spoke each word deliberately.Her hoarse voice sounded so heart-wrenching."They wer
