Chapter 1223 I Can't Accompany You Anymore
Atlas gave me a quick kiss, then said reassuringly, "Don't worry too much. He doesn't stand a chance. He'll have no way back if he challenges my bottom line. For now, let's focus on rescuing Dad. I'll deal with him slowly.""Denton had been lying low all this time. When I saw him that day, he appeared calm, but his eyes said something else.”I never forgot the scene when I first saw him in Bourdamun.Then, I continued, "I feel it's not that simple. So, you need to be careful.""Thanks for the reminder, my dear wife." He grinned mischievously at me and nibbled my lips.I cautioned Atlas, "He must know about our relationship. We might be able to keep it from the public, but not from someone determined to find out. He's reckless despite knowing, which means revenge is just a decoy. He must have another motive.""Smart thinking," Atlas said. "Once we thoroughly investigate, you can relax. Hmm?"I signaled for Atlas to let go, but he carried me into the bathroom. "Let's take a bath
Chapter 1224 The Drama King
Just then, Atlas walked in, followed by Dylan and Loak.I was thrilled to see them, especially Dylan, whom I hadn't seen in a while. And there was Loak by his side, whom I hadn't seen for months too. Whenever I went to the storage area before, I only saw Anya.Loak was dressed in a pair of jeans and a black-and-white jersey, looking like a cute little follower but still quite handsome. He seemed to have grown taller and looked smarter now, with a sharpness in his eyes.He was nothing like the first time I saw him, frail and dirty, like a typical local tough guy.Now Loak looked completely different, clean and sharp, even a bit more robust. He was exuding a youthful vibe, like that of a college student.It was like he had switched roles with Arton. Compared to him, Arton seemed more like a local thug now.Seeing them made me feel warm and familiar. After all, they were all there to find my father. "Thank you all for your hard work. Do you have any news?”Dylan nodded. "He's still
Chapter 1225 Possessive Over Her
Not only did we find it amusing, but we even had to cover our mouths to stifle our laughter. I didn't realize Arnold was such a drama queen."Are you demanding something from me?" Arnold continued to act, "Okay, let's say around 5 p.m. It'll be dinner time by then.""Actually, can it be around 2 p.m.? Mr. Arnold, please." The man on the other end sounded exasperated."Let me remind you again, don't talk to me in that tone. I hate it!" Arnold said sternly into the phone. "2 p.m. it is. Don't rush me anymore, damn it. Even on vacation, I can't catch a break."With that, he hung up the phone and looked at Atlas. "All set."At this point, everyone burst into laughter. Dylan patted his shoulder teasingly. "Mr. Arnold, you're a master at this acting game. If you go down this path, you'll be top-tier."“Even if I don't go down that path, I'm still top-tier." Arnold laughed."Arton, you won't be on the same flight with them. You'll leave first," Atlas told Arton. "Later, I'll have Ca
Chapter 1226 Finally Meeting Each Other
After yesterday's events, Atlas didn't let me out of sight for a moment and insisted on taking me with him tonight.Dylan and the others split up to make arrangements for the next steps after discussing some business.Atlas instructed me to go upstairs and nap, so I had no choice but to comply.With Arnold and Hana gone, many things suddenly went quiet.Meanwhile, Anya was catching up with Loak. She would return to Navi's base with Dylan later.As night fell, Atlas and I freshened up. He had already prepared the clothes I was supposed to wear.We set off on time, accompanied only by Cane and another bodyguard I recognized from yesterday's shopping trip. It seemed he hadn't been injured.I had worried if he could handle the situation, facing four adversaries alone, but now it appeared he was quite professional.We left Anya at the hotel since Atlas said she wasn't ready to show her face publicly.The night scenery here was enchanting, with the streetlights casting colorful refl
Chapter 1227 Subtle Competition
The hall was truly majestic, decorated in ivory, white and gold. The bright lights were dazzling, creating a splendid and magnificent atmosphere.Navi and his entourage entered, standing on either side of the entrance like indispensable decorations as if they were upholding his authority.Atlas didn't hesitate to lead me to sit on the ivory-white sofa, appearing calm and composed, while I sat beside him, observing them coldly.As Navi took his seat, his gaze fell on Atlas."Mr. Atlas, you are truly remarkable. I heard of you a long time ago. It's truly an honor to have you grace my home today. And Mrs. Chloe is equally stunning." Navi continued with his incongruous pleasantries, his eyes constantly flicking toward me."Mr. Navi, you speak our language very well," I complimented him."Indeed. In fact, ever since I found out where Jasper... oh, that is, where George was, I've been diligently studying your language, thinking that I would need it one day. I never expected that day to
Chapter 1228 Everyone, Step Back!
Atlas forcefully slammed the notebook onto the coffee table with a loud smack, saying, "The notebook is here. I want to see him."A smirk played at the corner of Navi's mouth, and the hand holding the pipe trembled slightly.It seemed he was finding it difficult to contain himself. His urgency was palpable. But despite his apparent eagerness, he looked frustrated."Well? Do you have any other conditions?" Atlas stared at Navi's face, deliberately pressing him. "Speak up."Navi laughed awkwardly, retracting his greedy gaze and trying to relax.Without giving him a chance to think, Atlas continued, "I just want to take him away today, Mr. Navi. This notebook is important to you, but it’s equally important to other people. I won’t let you have it if I don’t see him. And... there's one more thing. I can still take him away, even without the notebook."Navi squinted his eyes slightly, and I tensed up. If he gave the order, we would be outnumbered. Without the notebook, we'd be in dang
Chapter 1229 We Are Very Wealthy
Atlas pinched my nose playfully. He didn’t answer my question and instead asked, "What do you want to eat?""What can we eat here?" I asked skeptically.But when the dishes arrived, I couldn't help but smile. It was all seafood dishes I loved, and although they were prepared in a different style here, they looked very tempting.I reached for a dish eagerly, and he indulgently reminded me, "Take it easy, we have plenty of time." "Why did you bring us here for dinner?" I asked, knowing that he must have had a reason.Sure enough, Atlas smiled and replied, "We need to put on a show and make Navi nervous. Otherwise, he'll come up with too many tricks. If he wants to challenge me, he must be able to do so.""So you wanted him to feel like you were going to a more important appointment to make him uncertain," I said, "Especially when you brought the notebook with you?""Exactly," he replied, feeding me some lobster meat.It was tender, succulent, and slightly tangy. The lobster was
Chapter 1230 Equal Share of the Pie
Today, I finally understood why ATL Empire was so powerful and had such a wide range of business projects. I finally knew why people from all walks of life, including Archie, looked up to the company.I didn't need to think too hard about it.I was certain that there were still many things Atlas hadn't explained to me.When Atlas saw that I was silent, he glanced at me and said, "Why aren't you saying anything? Hmm?"I looked at him, still thinking about some questions in my mind."I've said it before. As long as you want to do something, I'll support you!"I put down my fork, sounding a little childish as I lowered my voice and asked, "Honey, then... Do we have a lot of money?"He looked at me with a dumbfounded expression, his white teeth gleaming as he also put down his fork and smiled contentedly. He said, without hesitation, "You could say that we’re very wealthy.”For some reason, that didn't sound out of place at all. He looked so handsome as he said that.I asked mis
