Chapter 1338 Clear Target, Take Action
"I was afraid of this. What do you mean, once bitten, twice shy? You just misjudged him!" Ivanna poked directly at Beatrice's weak spot. "For a guy, his appearance, family background, social status... none of that matters. As long as his character is solid and he genuinely cherishes you, you’ll experience a different life. Really, Beatrice, trust me!""Looks like you’ve experienced a great awakening," I teased."Aren't you the same?" Ivanna asked. "Beatrice knows about your legendary love life. Could you be where you are now if it weren't for Atlas? He spent eighteen years looking for you and never gave up. Aren’t you happy?”Both Beatrice and I burst into laughter. I retorted, "So what you mean is, when you encounter the wrong person like I did, you should cut your losses, strengthen your resolve, and fight on bravely?""What's wrong with that? Don't focus on the process, look at the result!" Ivanna said emphatically. "A good nail does not fear the hammer. You just need to have a

"He’s already done everything he can! You should have warmed up to him by now, Beatrice, even though you're as cold as ice. Don't let his deep feelings for you go to waste!"Beatrice lowered her gaze. "I understand. But I haven't overcome the hurdle in my heart right now. I still don't know how to face any new emotions."I glanced at Ivanna, and we both understood each other without saying a word.But I still said, "Beatrice, we understand your feelings, but we want to give you some advice. After all, it's not easy to have someone who loves you wholeheartedly like him. Don't make him wait too long. Give yourself a chance too. You should experience being cherished by someone.""That's right! Remember, no one will wait for you forever. He’s waited for so many years." Ivanna added.Beatrice nodded earnestly. "Okay."We exchanged glances again. "Alright then. Rest up. I didn't sleep well, but Atlas woke me up."I finished speaking and stretched lazily. "I'm going to sleep!"Then, t
Chapter 1340 Ribbon-Cutting Guests
The citizens had long known that the grand opening ceremony of Arkadia Plaza, the largest plaza in Asia, would be held today!Atlas had conducted substantial publicity, and the event was very impactful. There were no discounts on Arkadia’s products, but everyone had a chance to join the lottery to win jewelry from Sautoir Fine Jewelry. When you entered the square, you would use your identity card to receive a number from the lottery machine automatically. This was the most direct way to calculate Gerby's customer flow data.Today's event had also attracted the attention of the upper echelons of the province, and this was unprecedented in Gerby.I really only understood what unprecedented meant once I arrived at the scene.There were just so many people in the stage area. Still, the crowd was handled systematically to prevent any mishaps. The city had sent many police units to keep the area under control.We entered the building through a special passage, where many official repres
Chapter 1341 The Grand Opening Celebration
Atlas reacted quickly. He swiftly pulled me into his arms and shifted positions, evading the oncoming Poppy amidst the crowd's gasps.Luckily, Dylan grabbed her arm and pulled her back. Poppy pretended to look embarrassed.With a profound look, Dylan said, "Ms. Poppy, steady yourself!"Poppy felt uneasy under Dylan's cold gaze, her mind shaken momentarily. She quickly smiled and said, "I'm sorry! Ms. Chloe, I startled you. My fault for not standing firmly. Sorry."Atlas glanced nervously at me and asked, "Are you okay?"Everyone was surprised by his anxious expression, casting curious looks my way.I quickly smiled lightly and said, "I'm fine."Then I returned the list to the host and said, "No problem. Thank you for your hard work."Atlas adjusted my clothes, looking me up and down before finally relaxing. However, his handsome face still glanced indifferently at the embarrassed Poppy.Trying to conceal her nervousness, she bit her lip apologetically and took a step back. I k
Chapter 1342 Vigilant Precautions
Those with knowledge were aware that this was unprecedented in Gerby. Even the smallest prizes were valuable, let alone the unique prize bracelet.Some couldn't help but exclaim, "Mr. Atlas is really wealthy, the prizes are so generous!""Well, of course, he's the richest man in the world!""Could it be true?""It should be! Otherwise, why would there be certificates?!"The discussions below continued. For fairness, the lottery guests were all randomly selected from the audience.At the moment of the draw, all eyes were on the hand pressing the button, knowing it held the key to luck. Many wished that hand were theirs.As soon as the guest pressed the button, the numbers on the big screen instantly jumped and spun, with voices below shouting, "Stop!"The guest pressed the button again with force, and ten sets of numbers appeared on the screen.Immediately, there were screams of winners, disappointed sighs, and figures rushing eagerly towards the stage.I felt the intensity of
Chapter 1343 A Minor Incident
Just as we got to the scene, a minor incident happened before we could even take the stage.The person chosen to draw the first prize was an old lady selected from the audience. She was escorted onto the stage to operate the lottery machine, and we were all waiting for the number to come out to award the prize to the winner.However, at that moment, a young man in black quietly approached our vicinity. Just as he was about to reach me and Atlas, he was quickly restrained by Cane, who had been guarding us.He struggled and shouted, "The lady on stage is my grandmother! I'm here to help her off the stage. What are you doing?"This outcry immediately drew the attention of the media reporters. Several journalists quickly surrounded us for interviews and footage.The young man loudly protested and told the reporters that he was innocent. This caused resentment among the onlookers, making the situation somewhat out of hand.Atlas stayed back, shielding me from harm. The young man conti
Chapter 1344 The Fortunate Sanitation Worker
Not only was everyone in the audience puzzled, but even Atlas and I exchanged glances. I whispered, "What's going on?"The host loudly announced the winning number again, "Please check the number card in your hands. Number 59, please come up on stage to claim your prize! Congratulations, you've become today's luckiest person! You've won the special prize from Sautoir Fine Jewelry!"But even after the host's words, there was no response.People were perplexed, looking around and trying to find the individual in question on and off the stage.I speculated that this person must have arrived very early. In a plaza with tens of thousands of people, it was evident that whoever got number 59 had come very early. Since they came early, how could no one come forward?The host repeated the announcement several times, but no one answered.Someone anxiously shouted from the audience, "Who is this? Did they forfeit the prize? Or did the organizers deliberately deceive us?""Yeah, they said t
Chapter 1345 Divergent Opinions
"Please go ahead." Atlas spoke exceptionally gently."Um... can we have something more practical? Even though this bracelet is nice and expensive, we really can't wear it. Can we exchange it for money?" As soon as she said this, it immediately provoked a chorus of "shushing" from the audience. Everyone began to criticize her."What are you saying? How embarrassing! You're bringing shame to the people of Gerby!""Yeah, what kind of behavior is this? You win a prize, just take it and leave! To ask for money on top of that? Have you never seen money before?""... How ungrateful you are!""Yeah! Too greedy!"The voices below became louder and louder, and the woman who won the prize looked even paler, trembling at the corners of her mouth. She timidly pulled the robust woman, "Let's... let's forget it!"Atlas immediately waved his hand to silence the audience below.Then he looked gently at the two sanitation workers. "Please explain your reasons."The fat woman stepped forward bol
