Chapter 1178 A Pass to Bermuda
When Mike saw that my dad was awake, he came over to shake his hand. As he spoke to my dad, he still had a lingering fear. "I was so worried, old buddy. This is all thanks to Mr. Atlas and his team. They arrived just in time. All that matters is that you’re safe.""Right after I got home, before I could even lie down, the real estate buyer came looking for me, asking about the property. He said there were some unclear details, so he requested that I go over it again... Sigh! I've made you worry."The brothers recounted the details of the kidnapping, apologizing to each other.When Atlas saw that my dad was improving, he consulted with the doctor and decided to fly back to Foswood. With that, we said goodbye to everyone.We boarded the plane through a special entrance and headed back to Foswood.My dad was quiet during the flight. Atlas and I didn’t ask him about it. After all, it wasn't the right time or place to discuss it. But it was clear that he was in a terrible mood. We la
Chapter 1179 Conflicted
Atlas looked deeply into my eyes, nodded seriously, then embraced me. He gently asked, "Are you hungry? Let's grab something to eat together."That was when I realized that I hadn't eaten anything for a whole day. I had just sipped a glass of juice on the plane."I'm famished," I replied coyly, leaning into his embrace. Suddenly, I felt completely exhausted.Had I really gone through the whole day without food?There had been no chance for a peaceful, satisfying meal with all the chaos involving Oliver these past two days. He had risked his life to save me. Then, we had suddenly found my dad, and the constant flying back and forth had made me completely forget about eating.While we were discussing that, someone gently knocked on the room door again. My mom's voice came from outside. "Chlo, Atlas, are you asleep? Do you want to come down and have something to eat?"I quickly retreated from Atlas's embrace, walked over briskly, and opened the door. "Mom! I'm starving! Is there any
Chapter 1180 Sleepy
Back in the room, I wanted to collapse onto the bed, but Atlas grabbed me and pulled me toward the bathroom. I struggled and protested. "I don't want to take a shower! I just want to sleep!""A warm shower will make you sleep even better, sweetie. Trust me!" His tone was incredibly indulgent as he effortlessly guided me into the bathroom.At this point, I was so tired that my head felt heavy, and my steps were unsteady, making his actions particularly irritating."Why are you being so annoying? I said... I'm not showering!" I pushed him away, evading his hands.He patiently embraced and kissed me, then turned on the shower and adjusted the water temperature. He swiftly removed my clothes and his own, pushed me under the water, and held me close. Softly, he whispered in my ear, "Are you annoyed? Hmm? I'll wash you. You can sleep."His words made me chuckle involuntarily. I had no choice but to comply with his wishes and lean against him.The warm water poured over us, and his
Chapter 1181 Constant Threats
Arnold happened to walk out and saw Ava clinging to me. He called out, "Ava, I’ll take you and Jenny for a ride. Do you want to go?"Ava pondered for a moment before asking, "Is what you said true?""Of course! When have I ever lied to you?" Arnold said confidently. "Come down and let's go get Jenny!"I looked at Arnold and asked, "Aren't you going to Gerby? How are things over there?""I hadn't had the chance to call Beatrice due to the circumstances involving Oliver and my father."I came back for some personal matters and to take care of some things for your husband. I'll return on Monday once the paperwork is sorted out," Arnold said casually.Ava had already run over and jumped onto him. Arnold lifted her onto his shoulder. Adorably perched on his shoulder, Ava let out a loud call for Jenny."I'll take them out later. Are you going to the hospital?" Arnold approached me, and we both headed downstairs together."I need to check on Oliver's condition. He took the... " I qu
Chapter 1182 Invisible Pressure
Arnold set down his cup with a wicked smile and said, "Both mother and daughter are cunning."When Hazelyn met with that doctor, she spiked his drink with drugs that made him have a heart attack and die! If she hadn't confessed, no one would’ve known. She had not only murdered one person but two.”"Haha... truly tit for tat. He ended up using the prescription he wrote on himself, so he deserved it!" I sighed. "They’re a dangerous family!"Arnold shook his head as he spoke, "It’s frightening. Beatrice is lucky. In Hazelyn's words, if she had given her another month, Beatrice would have died suddenly, too.""It's just monstrous," I complained. "How has Beatrice been these days?""She's been alright! Just under a lot of pressure! Suddenly, everything is weighing on her shoulders. She's a bit disorganized, so Gavin and I are doing our best to help her. Gavin is giving her systematic lessons to catch up!""Oh? Gavin has this method?" I was impressed."You're underestimating Gavin. He
Chapter 1183 Intentional Obstruction
Arnold grinned mischievously and said, "Hana's back! We had plans to go out for a meal together, and now we're stuck with two third wheels!"Ava glanced at Arnold with confusion and asked, "Uncle Arnold, why do we need wheels?"Both Arnold and I chuckled, looking at Ava. Arnold explained to her, "You and Jenny are the third wheels!""Why?" Ava stubbornly asked.Arnold was at a loss for words.I said to Rose, "Looks like he has a target now!"Rose looked at Arnold and chuckled, "Men from the Beringer family are loyal but not proactive!”"Hana is a very elegant and lovely young woman. She's a skilled and responsible new breed of designer—a furnishings designer! We've been collaborating for a while, and I do like this girl, she's mature and responsible.""I've met this girl. I met her the night you got married!" Rose glanced at me and said, "She's indeed a very likable girl!""Grandma, you noticed that too!" I was amazed.My mom and I went to the hospital together after our meal
Chapter 1184 Invisible Assassin
I glanced at Lauren and said, "This is exactly what I sensed, so I haven't figured out what's going on! But I feel like Atlas knows some insider information!""It's easy to explain that. Atlas has always been a strategist! After finding you, he was bound to investigate your dad and mom." Lauren’s thoughts coincided with mine. I remained silent, feeling uneasy."Do you think the recent events are a bit sudden? Could they be related to Liora's escape?" Lauren asked.I glanced at Oliver. Seeing that we were talking, he turned sideways with his eyes closed, seemingly asleep. He still looked weak.Lauren also looked at Oliver, then reached out to tuck him in with the blanket. I gestured to Lauren and pointed to the balcony.We went to the balcony of the ward and continued our conversation. “It’s clear that I was the target instead of Oliver. However, Atlas asserted that Liora couldn't have been the culprit!""Right, I was too busy with Oliver, and didn't have time to ask about thi
Chapter 1185 He Has No Chance of Winning
Lauren saw my expression and asked, "What's going on? "I made a shushing gesture at her. I slid to answer the call and then opened the recording.The hoarse voice of the voice changer rang out again."Ms. Chloe, do you think things have ended?" There was a tinge of mocking and contempt in that voice."What else do you want? Stop playing tricks. You're Navi Mansk, right? I warn you, if you dare set foot on Zydan again, I'll make sure you won't be able to go back!" I gritted my teeth."Hahaha..."The voice on the other end laughed uproariously, sending chills down my spine."Don't forget! The most important person to Atlas is still with me! If you want him alive, then use that notebook to trade! Consider which is more valuable, and weigh your options carefully."The other party hung up before I could continue.Lauren looked at me, her eyes filled with fear.I nodded at her. 'The person who kidnapped my dad! I have to go find Atlas!'"Then hurry up!" Lauren urged me. "Be sure
