Chapter 1318 Harsh Criticism
I nestled in his arms, pouting. "I don't want to burden you too much.""But this is a special time for us. Our little one is on the way. That makes my responsibility even heavier. I won't shy away from it. Plus, I’ll support whatever decision you make."When Atlas said that, he was serious, leaving no room for doubt."We've been handling the Chandler family business from start to finish, so we can't miss this final trial. It's not just about supporting Beatrice. We also need to wrap up our affairs properly. That's how we can achieve a perfect ending to this chapter."His words moved me deeply. He spoke not only to relieve my burden but also to ensure I knew about his unwavering support. "And there's a third reason too. I've already confirmed the grand opening ceremony for Arkadia Plaza in Gerby on Saturday. We can't miss it, no matter what." His reasons were undeniably compelling.I was overjoyed and threw myself into his arms. "I knew it. You'd never blame me. You're the best h
Chapter 1319 Full Team Support
"I've gone through it, and I've reaffirmed a few points with them. It's a solid plan that’s worth investing in." He confidently endorsed the proposal.His assurance took me by surprise, and I looked up at him. "Are you serious?""Yeah. It's a promising project with a long-term strategy and considerable returns, so it’s definitely worth the investment. It's not often I come across such innovative ideas. I've even increased the investment by five times and expanded the scope of the plan," he confirmed."So you're not just investing in Bourdamun but expanding to the neighboring cities as well?" I probed further, feeling a surge of excitement and determination.I wanted to delve deeper into the conversation, but he interrupted by pinching my nose gently. "Exactly. But for now, we need to get some sleep."With that, he guided me back into his arms and turned off the lights.Although the idea of increasing the investment by five times, as suggested by Atlas, had me excited, the thought
Chapter 1320 Beware of the Evil Spirits
Theo walked over with a smile. "We're all Beatrice’s classmates, so we wanted to be here for her at a moment like this. We need to show her that she’s not alone and we’re here to back her up."If Ivanna hadn't told us about this, we might have missed it. Everyone I could call is here."Ivanna looked at me proudly and said, "We missed out on rescuing her, but we can't miss out on supporting her now."As I was about to say something about Jared, Ivanna interrupted me."Are you only going to let your husband take the high ground?" she protested disdainfully. "We have to step up too."Everyone looked at the two of us. They knew that our marriages weren't completely public, but at the last reunion, everyone had met Atlas and knew he was my husband. But even though they knew Ivanna was pregnant, nobody knew who her husband was.Ivanna didn't care, and she had no plans to make her relationship public, but she couldn’t escape scrutiny this time.Sure enough, as we were talking, Jared st
Chapter 1321 Giving Her a Surprise
Upon arriving in Gerby, Arnold came to pick us up. Since our arrival time was uncertain, so I didn't notify Beatrice.As we left the airport, Ivanna asked me, "Chlo, why don't you see Beatrice by yourself? Everyone's idea is that you accompany her tonight. After all, you must have a lot to talk about with her.“Also, the trial is tomorrow, and she wouldn’t be in the mood for socializing. We'll meet her at the court tomorrow and give her a surprise.""Then I'll have Arnold arrange for someone to take care of you," I suggested to Ivanna.Arnold immediately said, "Let Alvin handle it. He's from Gerby and knows his way around. Just tell him what you need."Theo quickly added, "Don't bother. We're here to accompany Beatrice, not to cause her trouble. I can handle everything here since I'm quite familiar with this place.""It’s alright. It'll be convenient to communicate anytime too with Alvin around," Arnold said, then immediately called Alvin, who promptly agreed.We got into the ca

She nodded firmly. "Yes, I'm planning to recruit some young talent. This will bring more vitality to the company. I've also consulted with them, and they all agree.""Right now, Gavin is helping me streamline our client base and rigorously screening them. Anyone with a bad record is eliminated without exception. To be honest, I'm quite satisfied with this process. I've learned a lot," Beatrice said sincerely."Now I feel a bit more relaxed than when I first took over. I'm not in a panic anymore." When she talked about the company, there was a hint of confidence in her expression."What about your personal life?" I asked her."I've brought back all the seniors from before, and they’re like family to me. I've adapted to everything,” she replied succinctly.She was avoiding the real question."What about Finn?" "Yeah, he comes to see me every day. He’s very attentive to me," Beatrice said.I then asked, "How would the Russell family be dealt with?"Beatrice paused before saying,
Chapter 1323 Angry Citizens
The next day, a huge crowd gathered outside the courthouse to witness the trial.Many media reporters were conducting interviews, and people demanded severe punishment for the Chandler family. It seemed that Byron had angered the citizens of Gerby.As the car waited to enter the courthouse, I overheard an elderly citizen being interviewed. He passionately said, "Byron is insane, and he does not even spare his own daughter. What kind of person is he?"Upon hearing this, I couldn't help but glance at Beatrice. Her face remained pale, and she appeared calm. Sensing me looking at her, she clasped my hand with her cold one.The powerful voice from outside continued, "Mr. Elijah, the ex-CEO of Keller’s Dairy, was a remarkable person. He's our pride in Gerby!”The old man was indignant, and his words garnered approval from the surrounding crowd."I'm 60 this year, and I’ve been drinking the milk produced by his company for decades. This esteemed man, who has safeguarded the health of Ge
Chapter 1324 The Final Verdict
Out of the corner of my eye, I noticed Gabriel waiting outside amidst the crowd. At the sight of our gathering, he hesitated and quietly slipped through another entrance.The courtroom was packed to the brim, with every seat occupied and people standing silently at the back. The Bullocks, the Chandlers, the hospital staff, and others were among the crowd.We were directed to our designated seats.When Byron, Jocelyn, and Hazelyn were escorted into the courtroom, I felt Beatrice's body tremble slightly before she relaxed again.I embraced her, offering support. Finn wrapped his strong arm around her as well.Byron, now with his once jet-black hair shaved short and turned white, looked noticeably thinner and worn out. Gone was his former arrogant demeanor.As he entered the hall, his eyes scanned the room, eventually locking onto Beatrice's face. His mouth opened, and his gaze was filled with complexity.I sensed Beatrice take a deep breath, resolutely withdrawing her gaze and fix
Chapter 1325 Rising from the Ashes
Only Hazelyn struggled to look at Beatrice in the courtroom.Beatrice shot her a smile of triumph tinged with arrogance. Hazelyn looked deflated as her face sank. In the end, she was defeated.As they were escorted away, everyone surged toward Beatrice, but no one spoke; they simply shook her hand in solidarity.There were still some documents that Beatrice needed to sign at the courthouse, and we remained by her side throughout.Beatrice left her current assistant from the Keller family to handle the remaining affairs.Once everyone had left, Beatrice looked at me. In a hoarse voice, she said, "Take everyone back to my place.”I looked at her, somewhat puzzled. "What about you?"She glanced at Finn, her eyes pleading. She said, "Finn... accompany me to the cemetery.""Sure." Finn didn't hesitate, stepping up to her side and offering his support.Theo quickly added, "We'll all go with you."Beatrice didn't refuse. She simply scanned her classmates before silently turning and
