Chapter 1302 The Cunning Man’s Call
No matter what Atticus's intentions were, I felt confident about the situation. After all, ATL Empire’s Design Division did the project's overall design in Rivendell, making communication relatively easier.Moreover, I believed I had some basic understanding of Atticus. He might be a cunning man, but he wouldn't resort to tricks with me. Our interactions, whether in the past or present, had always been heading in a positive direction.As businessmen in the same industry and having fought on the same front, we had a good starting point for our relationship.Furthermore, Atlas's involvement also played a significant role. Even if Atticus saw me as a competitor, he had to consider my current status, which was far from the struggling position I was in a year ago when I first took over Tanum.While the outside world might not understand the situation, he was well aware of it.Honestly, his assistance to me in the past had been considerable. So, this project was definitely within our gr
Chapter 1303 Overwhelmed
Seeing Arton so proud, I smiled and said, "I'll have to find time to visit him soon. It's been almost two months, and he'll probably forget about me if I don't go." I chuckled."He won't," Arton said confidently, then with a smile, he added, "My sister always teaches him to call you ‘Aunt Chloe’."I'm actually quite eager to see him," I said sincerely. Despite Charlie being Melanie’s child, I genuinely liked him.After a few more brief instructions, I hung up and returned to my father's room. Upon seeing the three old men chatting lively, I noticed that my biological father looked the oldest despite being the youngest in terms of age.His escape was truly remarkable, and it wouldn't have been possible without Atlas's careful planning. I silently rejoiced in having someone like Atlas by my side.They were discussing matters related to Bermuda, so it was no wonder they had a common language, considering their intricate connections to that place.So, they hit it off immediately.My
Chapter 1304 Ready-Made Team
Ryan pondered momentarily, a hint of disdain appearing on his gentle face. "It seems that Melvern is completely out of the picture. He was originally part of this plan and wanted us to take over the entire project. It seems that this second phase is destined for us.""Yeah, but these two collaborators are quite different." I smiled meaningfully.Ryan nodded in agreement. "Melvern really wanted to do this deal but Atticus outsmarted him.""Melvern was in a hurry to leave because he was afraid of being implicated," I said. "Atticus also took advantage of this. Otherwise, how could he be so confident?"Ryan nodded in agreement."Don't forget that when the designs were released, he told me in advance about his design intentions and asked me to follow suit. This shows that he was confident of winning." I concluded."Melvern probably didn't even think about it. Before he came, Atticus had already set him up." Ryan speculated."I can't say for sure, but one thing is certain. Atticus kn
Chapter 1305 Not Afraid of Challenges
Ryan noticed my silence and continued speaking. "After all, they chose Matthew to sabotage your position, and now they're regretting it. But they're unwilling to leave and keep staying around."I wouldn't mind accommodating them, but I didn't want to intervene. The crucial point is that they're skilled workers and haven't caused any trouble. They're quite hassle-free." Ryan then asked, "What do you think?"Hearing this, I couldn't help but smirk. "Do you think I'm the grudge-holding type? However, I also don't want them to think I'm too forgiving. Regardless, their return to Tanum is a step up," I stated firmly.Ryan didn't hesitate. "Then let's set the standards higher."I replied, "I can be accommodating, but I can't let them feel like coming back was too easy. I conduct myself professionally. Otherwise, it's unacceptable if they try to undermine me like they did when Matthew was around."Now, I can let it slide, but they shouldn't think they're invaluable. Matthew indulged them
Chapter 1306 Perfection Might Not Be a Good Thing
"You're just a heartless capitalist. You're afraid I'll take too much time off. You just want to keep pushing me to work for you, right?" Ryan teased me again."There you go again. How could you say that?" I was immediately displeased and protested, "No... I've just been busy with personal business lately. Why are you acting like this?"Who you marry or have children with is your own business. Let me tell you, you're lucky to have met a girl like Joyce. She’s open-minded and tolerant. Who else would be so willing to wait for you? But you seem indifferent about her."He gave me a gentle glance, then said helplessly, "Am I that bad?""How could you not be? Can't you be loyal to someone who deserves it?" I exposed him bluntly.As soon as the words left my mouth, I felt like I might have gone too far."Are you saying you’re out of my league?" Ryan said self-deprecatingly.I chuckled contentedly. "Aren't I?""I guess. I’m practically invisible in someone’s eyes," he retorted sarcast
Chapter 1307 The Ideal Partner
Ryan said, “The overall plan is ready. It's been on my desk all this time. When you come to work tomorrow, you can take a closer look. If you have no objections, we can use Old Bourdamun as a pilot project and replicate it like what we did for New Bourdamun. It could become a sophisticated system.""Great. I'm feeling positive about this. Atlas and I have discussed it, and he's fully on board. It's just that he's busy right now, so I don't want to distract him." I gave Ryan the green light."I'll have the Design Division draw up a plan to highlight the characteristics of Old Bourdamun and transform it into an ancient town. Retro-style things are in trend right now," Ryan said, getting excited immediately."Great minds think alike. The scale of Old Bourdamun is relatively small compared to other cities in the province, but turning it into a resort city that combines tourism, entertainment, leisure, and shopping would definitely be sufficient for this project. Plus, in the future, t
Chapter 1308 A Chance Encounter
"You didn't tell me anything about bringing your dad back. There must have been some complications, right?" Ryan asked as we walked."Forget it. It's not something I can explain in a few words. It was dangerous, and our lives were on the line. We managed to bring him out at the last moment, thanks to Atlas's meticulous plan. It wouldn't have been possible otherwise." It still scared me when I thought about it.If Atlas hadn't brought Loak and his sister back, there would have been no chance of success at saving my father.Ryan looked shocked and asked in disbelief, "Was it that bad?”I nodded earnestly. "The entire rescue operation was challenging despite our careful plan. Involving Loak and Anya really made a difference. Atlas didn’t overlook any details. If it weren't for them..."I shook my head. "We probably wouldn't have found my dad.""He really is a good leader," Ryan said.As we entered the arrival hall, someone called out to me. "Mrs. Chloe!"I looked around and saw
Chapter 1309 Finally Someone Cares
Before I could fully think about the hidden meaning in Poppy's words, the large screen showed that Archie's flight had arrived. Ryan and I hurried forward.Not long after, Archie walked out. He was dressed plainly, wearing a mask and carrying a small bag as he strode toward the exit.Because of his status, he always kept a low profile when returning to Foswood.I greeted him with a smile as I approached, quickly taking the luggage from Archie's hand without saying a word so we wouldn’t alert the media.Ryan hurriedly took the luggage and walked ahead to unlock the car. Archie and I got in and drove away from the airport.Once in the car, I happily said to Archie, "What made you decide to come back today, Dad? We were supposed to go to Solaris tonight.”Archie took off his mask and looked at me lovingly. "I was worried about you traveling back and forth, so I came back. Besides, it's getting cold there. Our little girl isn't used to cold weather like that. What if she catches a
