Chapter 1144 Cutting Through the Chaos
Gabriel's face turned pale, "Beatrice, you can't treat me like this. It's true I married her, but I never loved her, never touched her! I've always been faithful to you! I...""...Get lost!"Beatrice spat the words with force and spoke in a harsh, raspy voice. Her eyes were cold as if composed of ice, with not the tiniest trace of melting.His parents rushed over and swiftly left the Keller family's hall, dragging Gabriel with them. He still tried explaining himself.I cast a chilly glance at Gabriel, now displaying signs of desperation and unwillingness!Beatrice sat there, resembling an unapproachable queen.Until the shouts of Jocelyn gradually faded away, and everything seemed to return to calmness, Beatrice's cold gaze swept over the servants who had just run over from behind.Those people were shocked, all looking at Beatrice in fear and trembling.Beatrice turned her head slightly and said, "Butler, gather everyone in the hall! Everyone!"Then, she told us, "Chloe, all
Chapter 1145 Unexpected Turn of Events
After reading these reports, I asked Beatrice, "How did you get such comprehensive information?"Beatrice pondered for a long time before saying, "On the second day of my mother's death, when I went to the funeral home to arrange my mother's body in the morgue, a man suddenly appeared in front of me. “He handed me a USB drive, saying, 'If you want to know how your grandfather died, take a look at this! The Keller family suffered, and you are the only one who can seek revenge! Keep it safe, or you'll be in danger too!' After he finished speaking, he turned and left.""Do you have any idea who that man was?"Beatrice shook her head, "I don't know. Afterward, I secretly looked at the information inside. To be honest, I couldn't understand it at first. However, I did realize that my grandfather's death in prison was not a straightforward one.""But at the time, I didn't have anyone around me I could trust. I didn't have much time to investigate this matter, but things were getting mo
Chapter 1146 What on Earth is Going On?
Liora had made a daring escape during Eugene's funeral, right under the watchful eyes of the police.Atlas and I decided it was time to return to Foswood, so we wrapped up our month-long stay in Gerby. The investment projects here were progressing smoothly, rendering Atlas's presence unnecessary.Atlas was concerned about Beatrice's ability to handle things independently, so he decided to leave Gavin behind to assist her in acclimating to the business.Arnold willingly stayed back to help Sean handle the aftermath of the case.As we said our goodbyes, Beatrice held on to me tightly, reluctant to let go. I shared the sentiment, but as the saying goes, all good things must come to an end. It was time to get back to our own lives.I promised her that when the case went to public trial, I would be there to witness the moment justice prevailed and stand by her side during her toughest moments.Deep down, I knew that avenging her mother meant forever losing someone she called 'father'.
Chapter 1147 The Little Girl's Thoughts
Our unexpected return was met with exuberance from the entire family. Jim was quick to act and sent the driver to fetch the two little ones from school. It was a clear sign that Ava had really missed us.And of course, when she arrived at home, she joyfully shouted for us at the door. "Daddy! Mommy!"With a forceful push, she barged in, her short legs moving frantically as she ran straight into my arms. "Don’t you want us anymore, Mommy?" I laughed, holding her tight. "Of course I do. I've missed you so much."Atlas smiled mischievously, which made me question if he doubted my sincerity."Why were you gone for so long? What could be more important than me?" she playfully scolded. "You’ve taken Mommy’s side, Daddy. You don't care about what I think at all!"Her words elicited laughter from everyone. No one knew where she had learned to say that.That night, she clung to me and adamantly refused to go back to her own room to sleep, which was unprecedented.As she lay with me on
Chapter 1148 Fair Love
"I trust you completely. I wouldn't have left this responsibility to you otherwise," I told Johnson. "It's a heavy burden, and I understand you’re carrying a lot of responsibility. But I feel much more at ease with you around.""I understand the responsibility on my shoulders. As long as I'm here, there won't be any problems. I started my career in Tanum, and it feels like I'm returning to my roots now, which gives me a sense of belonging. I'm working for a better future together."We chatted for quite a while before hanging up.After checking the time, I called Ryan. As soon as he answered, he asked, "You're back?""How did you know?" I was a little surprised."If you hadn't come back, would you have called me?" Ryan joked.I chuckled. "This is my way of reporting back after returning.”He grunted and solemnly said, "The design plans for the Solaris project have arrived. Since you're back, I need to make a trip there. Are you coming with me?""I can't go anywhere for the next
Chapter 1149 Life Hacking
"Hah, it was even worse than that. When she got out, she was barely breathing, and you could even see her ankle bones. She looked more like a corpse than a living person. She hasn't fully recovered yet, but she’s just taken over the businesses from the Keller and Chandler families, so it's been a little overwhelming for her."It tugged at my heart to think about Beatrice looking so helpless when I had left."I want to see her. It's been too many years, especially in times like these. It's a pity I can't help her," Ivanna sighed. "It would be nice if she were still in Foswood.""I invited her to come back to Foswood, but it might not happen anytime soon. After all, she’s never managed such a large company before. Now, the weight is on her shoulders all of a sudden, and she needs to deal with their mess. It'll be really tough for her. The crucial part is she doesn't have a good grasp of many insider details. Those people are still Byron’s subordinates. I’m worried.""Doesn’t she have
Chapter 1150 Absolutely Worry-Free
"Alright. I’d like to visit and thank everyone as well," Beatrice responded pleasantly. Then, she remembered something else. "Oh, the two brothers from the Chandler family came to the company to see me today. They said they’ve decided to work with us, and they want us to become their sole shareholder for joint development.""Oh?" I felt warmed by the news; it seemed those brothers were loyal and principled."You should work with them. You’re friends who share adversity. It's not a bad idea. If they take over completely now, it might not be good for the development of the company. It'll be better to work together. They’ll have an ally, and you won't need to worry as much." I encouraged her."But I'm a little worried. Some people might think I'm taking advantage of the situation." Beatrice expressed her concern. "This is a very sensitive issue.""If you approach it with a supportive mindset, I don't think you’ll have anything to worry about. Besides, some things shouldn't be influe
Chapter 1151 Am I Seeing Things Correctly?
"You left without a word, so how could I ask them to come?" Ryan grumbled, "But we had a discussion in the video call and provided them with relevant data. After explaining our ideas, they were interested and suggested visiting for an inspection, which came as a surprise to me.”"Oh?" I looked at Ryan and said seriously, "I don't want to collaborate on this project. I want us to do it on our own.""I understand. They want to inspect on-site to get a more accurate positioning. After all, global trends in tourism projects are booming, especially those with their own uniqueness. If the plan is feasible, then they can help us connect with opportunities globally," Ryan explained."Alright, when you come back from Solaris, we can put this matter on the formal agenda." I suggested tentatively.He glanced at me, speaking with a somewhat complaining tone, "Wait until I come back to discuss it? I know you too well. You're whimsical. You can just leave without saying anything. If I make an ap
