Chapter 1208 Heading to Bermuda
He had brought up some practical concerns.I found myself speechless under his questioning. It seemed a little far-fetched to say that everything was fine with Beatrice. "Plus, even though Anya’s familiar with the place, she’s been missing for a while. If she suddenly reappears, she might attract attention. She's still just a kid. I can’t believe you're bold enough to follow her like this!" Arnold's tone held a hint of anger.He added, continuing to grumble, "Atlas spoils you too much too. You're stubborn, and he just lets it slide. I don’t understand it."I had never seen Arnold so serious before. He looked quite impressive with his handsome face darkened like this, completely overturning the image I had of him.And I had to admit that he was right. His concerns were valid. I thought having Anya meant I had everything under control and I wouldn't have to worry about safety issues with Arton.But I now realized that Anya was just a child, and putting all my trust in her was risk
Chapter 1209 A Dreamy Expression
After getting off the plane, the stifling heat hit me immediately. It seemed like it had just rained here, but it definitely wasn't as heavy as would have been in Foswood.The scorching sun felt like a furnace, making it unbearably hot.As soon as I walked out of the exit, my eyes were drawn to a commanding figure in the crowd. With his sleek hair and partially covered handsome face behind sunglasses, he exuded an irresistible charm, making him look incredibly handsome.His presence dominated the entire hall, attracting everyone’s eyes.Atlas seemed more casual than usual. Today, he was wearing white sportswear, which was a rare sight. As he looked at us walking toward him, a faint smile played on his lips, causing everyone, especially the women, to stop and stare.Some even dared brush past him intentionally, then turned back to flirt shamelessly, trying to talk to him.I couldn't help but frown and walked toward him determinedly. But before I could assert my dominance, he beat
Chapter 1210 More Secrets
I nestled comfortably in his arms, listening to his descriptions. It was my first time here, so everything felt novel."Is there anything delicious to eat here?" I asked."Of course. When did my baby become such a foodie?" He nibbled on my earlobe, and I instinctively recoiled, giggling.I whispered softly in his ear, "I don’t see any chaos here.”He laughed and kissed me. "Everything always looks more glamorous on the surface.”I immediately understood his underlying message. But I felt content and safe with him by my side.When we arrived at the hotel, I was even more amazed. The beauty here was intoxicating. I had seen plenty of subtropical landscapes, but this place left me speechless.As we got out of the cars, Atlas said to Arnold, "You take care of them."Arnold was clearly very familiar with this place. And to my surprise, the people here spoke a language I understood.The hotel was by the sea, with detached guesthouses. Atlas didn't bother about the others and took me
Chapter 1211 Hidden Forces at Play
"Have you found out anything?" I asked."They’re just speculations for now. There's more to our fathers’ situation than just the plane crash. The non-organization must have hidden secrets from our fathers. Also, Navi must have caught wind of some information, which is why he's reluctant to let go easily," Atlas explained."What do you think it could be?" I asked.Atlas shook his head slowly. "It's hard to tell at the moment. We'll only understand the whole picture once we rescue Rory."I felt even more pressure. What exactly had happened to my dad? What made him suffer for 20 years?Atlas said patiently, "That's why I didn't want you to come. This game is unpredictable, but for us, saving your dad is crucial.""But can Xavier really help us?" I asked, feeling a bit worried.Atlas scoffed. "It's just a matter of each side getting what they want. Navi caused Xavier a lot of trouble over the years, and Xavier has been wanting to get rid of him for a long time. But Navi isn't someon
Chapter 1212 Preparing for the Coming Storm
Downstairs, Atlas had already set the table, but I didn't see anyone delivering the meal.As soon as I saw the delicious spread, I felt invigorated, almost unable to control myself. I was eager to dig in right away.Atlas seated me and skillfully sliced the steak, placing it before me. I wasted no time and started eating. The lobster here was exquisite, and I indulged in its flavors.While eating, I looked at Atlas and asked, "Do you think it's possible to find clues about Gemma?"It had been a wish of mine to find my parents' biological daughter.Atlas shook his head. "It's hard to say since we're not insiders of Navi's organization. But I've already instructed Dylan to get close to the senior members around Navi. However, this requires careful negotiation, and we can't rush it, or it could be dangerous.""Is Navi's headquarters here?" He shook his head. "No, I just came back from there this morning."I caught onto something. "You've been there before?""Yeah. I went straigh
Chapter 1213 I Misspoke
He had no choice but to compromise and left the room with me. Standing at the door, he pointed to several villas below. "Our people are staying there.”I glanced down, marveling at the beautiful surroundings. Each villa was perfectly spaced among the lush greenery. Our villa was relatively larger, with a sparkling blue swimming pool nearby. It truly was a leisurely place."Let's go see them," I suggested, leading the way down the path. Atlas happily followed beside me. "Arnold said he'd leave once I’m with you. I need to ask when he's planning to leave."Just then, Atlas's phone rang. He quickly stopped, and I looked at him, listening intently as he answered the call.He simply responded with an "okay," and I couldn't hear what was said on the other end."Good. Have someone keep an eye on things." Atlas instructed before hanging up.I hurriedly asked, "What's going on?""Navi left the main residence. It seems like he's meeting someone and planning something.”"What do you mea
Chapter 1214 Cruel Questions
Hana looked at her and asked her something in Cirencester's language, which I didn't understand.Anya lowered her gaze. "My home used to be here in Trestlewood.”In that instant, Anya's face darkened. I looked to Hana, who translated their conversation for me.I gently patted Anya's hand and said, "I'm sorry."Though Anya shook her head, her emotions seemed affected. She spoke softly and rapidly.Hana translated swiftly, relaying Anya's words almost as soon as she spoke them. "She says, ‘My family used to live in this city, and my parents ran a small business. My mother sold souvenirs and other items, while my father sold amulets. Though the business was small, we lived comfortably. My father loved us and often took us on outings.'"I kept my eyes on Anya's beautiful, innocent face, now tinged with a hint of sorrow.Anya's recounting seemed somewhat pitiful, and she was completely immersed in her memories. Her ability to recall everything from her childhood made me envious, as
Chapter 1215 Tragic Fate
As soon as the words left my mouth, I regretted them. I shouldn't have rubbed salt in Anya's wounds like that.Arton had already opened two coconuts, handing one to Hana and another to Anya."I'm sorry," I said sincerely.Anya shook her head. Tears rolled down her cheeks as she said, "It's not your fault, Mrs. Chloe."Then she continued, and Hana continued to translate for me. "It's because, one day, the person who robbed that crate of goods appeared before Navi and recognized my father."My father also recognized him, but he couldn't speak by then. He was mute, pointing at that person and trying to explain to Navi, gesturing and making noises. He wanted to tell Navi that the person was the one who robbed us and that he was innocent."At first, that person was nervous, but when he saw my father's condition, he became brazen. He accused my father of embezzling his money right in front of him."I shook my head helplessly, knowing the likely outcome.As Anya looked at me, I noti
