Chapter 1329 Reluctant to Draw Conclusions
I knew someone would have handled the funeral arrangements even though Beatrice had refused to be involved."Beatrice’s assistant had him buried here in Haven Cemetery. I don't want the details. Those two bodies remain unclaimed, so they'll probably end up in unmarked graves," Finn said.As I thought about Hazelyn's final struggles, I couldn't help but scoff. "She got what she deserved."Regaining my composure, I turned to Finn. "How's production going at the factory?"Finn seemed lost in thought, still caught up in our previous conversation. When I asked about production, he seemed taken aback.Then, he grinned sheepishly. "Sorry, I zoned out there for a moment."I smiled faintly. "I've taken on a few more projects recently, and they’re all big ones. There’s been a surge in orders too.""No problem. We added two more production lines, and the new automatic security doors are also available online. They're top-of-the-line. You should check them out when you have time," Finn said
Chapter 1330 Balancing Work and Personal Life
Our laughter ceased abruptly as we turned around and realized that our men had left us alone earlier. It was late, and evidently, both men couldn't bear to wait any longer and had come to urge us to return to our respective rooms.I exchanged a glance with Ivanna, stuck out my tongue playfully, and quickly got up. We both pretended to be obedient wives and hurried off to bed.The next day..We all slept in until nearly noon. I stretched lazily as I got up and noticed Atlas working away in the room.Feeling guilty, I quickly got out of bed and nestled into his arms. Yawning, I asked, "When did you get up?"He set aside his laptop, looking at me like I was a lazy cat. "Did you sleep well?""Yeah, I guess so," I replied with fading enthusiasm. Then, I said, "I want to head over to Jaxford after breakfast. Since we’ve secured phase two of that project, we’ll need a substantial amount of materials."Jaxford has made a new automatic security door, and I plan to use it for projects in
Chapter 1331 Well Done
Brenton immediately responded, "Of course, that's great! Who wouldn't want food, drinks, and a private plane to travel in? Yes, all of you?His words instantly brought laughter. "Sure! It's like we're taking an early vacation!"Judy chuckled and said, "If Michelle finds out about this, she'll be jealous. She posts about every little thing in her life on Instagram. Taking a private jet can let her brag with her friends!"This caused another round of laughter.Just then, the butler informed us that lunch was ready, and Beatrice invited everyone to join her for a meal.The Keller family's cuisine was exceptional.I told everyone during lunch, "After eating, feel free to explore. Gerby is known for its beautiful scenery!"Theo immediately volunteered, "I can be the tour guide! What about you guys?""Beatrice and I have some errands to run. Those who don't want to go out can take a nap. Rest up, and we'll have a fun evening later.""Alvin just called and said he'll come to pick us
Chapter 1332 The Unshakeable Gum
I glanced at Ivanna and then towards the staircase, whispering, "Byron left a testament for Beatrice before he died. It's in my possession now.""...Oh?" Ivanna was somewhat shocked, staring at me with wide eyes and a gaping mouth. "Does Beatrice know?""Of course not! I can't possibly mention it to her now. I'll have to wait for the right moment." I whispered back.Ivanna asked, "Did you listen to its contents?"I shook my head, "No. It's private, how could I intrude? But I guess it can't be something bad, otherwise the police wouldn't have passed it on!""What's the use? He's already done it. What was he thinking when he laid hands on his daughter?" Ivanna was furious. "He..."Just as Ivanna was about to say something, footsteps were heard from the staircase. Ivanna immediately held back what she was about to say.Beatrice had changed into a light green shirt and white pants, looking elegant as she descended the stairs.Her formerly chubby cheeks had turned more angular, and
Chapter 1333 The Care of the Bullock Family
I called Finn as soon as the car started moving, first to find out if he was at the factory and then to let him know we were headed to Jaxford.Upon arrival at Jaxford, Finn was already waiting at the gate. When he saw our car entering the yard, he strode over.As soon as Beatrice got out of the car, Finn's eyes couldn't settle anywhere. His goofy expression was quite amusing. This guy had fallen for her so hard. While exchanging pleasantries, Cameron came over. "Ms. Chloe. I saw you yesterday, but didn't get a chance to talk."I knew they had all gone to court yesterday, but it was in such a hurry that nobody could greet each other.Cameron then looked at Beatrice. "Ms. Beatrice, you're looking quite well!""Uncle, thank you to your family for taking care of me!" Beatrice bowed politely to Mr. Cameron."Oh my! Ms. Beatrice, you're too kind. There's not much we can do, but we're here whenever you need us!" Mr. Cameron said sincerely."The Keller family matter is a big deal for
Chapter 1334 The Crazy Protector of His Wife
After finishing the call, I looked at Ivanna and teased her, "You’re a soothsayer."Ivanna disdainfully replied, "I am not a soothsayer, it's my thorough understanding of these people. The grand opening ceremony of Arkadia signifies a certain level. It’s no brainer to know who will be attending this ceremony,"With her current popularity, having her to attend the opening ceremony is something other businesses would eagerly seek. You're saving a large appearance fee!" Ivanna added sarcastically, "Would she miss such a great opportunity?""Haha! Does Atlas lack this appearance fee?" I asked Ivanna with a contemptuous glance."But she came with sincerity. Can you just turn her away?" Ivanna shrugged and spread her hands.I picked up the phone and called Arnold to ask him to pick up Poppy.Arnold casually said, "No problem, leave it to me. Just give me her contact information."After giving instructions, I felt relaxed and said to Beatrice and Ivanna, "Let's go home."Back at the K
Chapter 1335 Making a Fuss Over Nothing
Those people burst into laughter, "Are you still trying to say that? You're the one who's affecting the appetite of our whole group, and you're playing the victim first!""Did I play the victim first? Are you guys even in a position to say that? How can I eat peacefully?" Everyone let out a loud laugh. At first, Atlas had always been distant and icy. But now, a few bold ones teased Atlas."Mr. Atlas, um... is this your usual state?" Brenton was always the one with the sharp tongue. He looked at Atlas and said, "By being like this, are you leaving us with any dignity?"Atlas smiled slightly, contrary to his usual demeanor, instantly feasting the female classmates’ eyes on his beauty."If a man can't care for his wife properly, what else can he do well? This is just basic things!" Atlas looked at me indulgently. "Besides, feeding my eldest baby benefits the youngest one, too, so I have to do it well.""... Ah... Chloe, are you... are you pregnant?" One of the more astute female cl
Chapter 1336 Hidden Needle in Cotton
"Chloe, is what Mr. Atlas said true? Have you known each other since childhood? Isn't Mr. Atlas a foreigner? How could you have known each other since childhood?" Someone raised a question."My goodness! Is this a confession?"Brenton had a bitter expression on his face as he looked at Atlas and said, "How could you do this? You’re attractive, financially successful, and are very perceptive on top of that... Mr. Atlas, you're making things impossible for us!"Everyone burst into laughter again.Brenton continued, "You have all the skills every man should possess. How are the rest of us supposed to live? It's hard enough for men these days, and if someone like you won’t give us any room to breathe... I'm struggling here!""It comes naturally to me. You'll just have to work hard later!" Atlas fed me a shrimp again while saying, "You need to live your life to the fullest!""..."Suddenly, another male student said, "You seem to be taking things easy, Ivanna. How about introducing y
