Atlas continued, "In addition, Mr. Coleman Darrell, Ms. Pauline's husband, will also receive support from ATL Empire for his valiant deed. ATL Empire will award an additional 80 grand in cash for Mr. Coleman Darell’s medical expenses and will make the hospital and treatment arrangements for Mr. Coleman. Those expenses will also be covered by ATL Empire."After he finished speaking, he immediately turned to get Dylan to handle it.There was an immediate uproar in the audience, and cheers erupted!After everyone quieted down, they chattered in a mixture of envy and excitement, unable to contain their cheers and shouts. They couldn't believe what was happening.A sanitation worker had won an incredibly large prize.The woman on stage stared at Atlas in shock, as if she couldn't understand what Atlas was saying.She stepped forward again and thanked Atlas profusely on behalf of Pauline. "Thank you so much, Boss! You're such a good person! Pauline, your family is saved... Hurry up and
Our classmates were still very excited and were all talking and drinking in the lobby.Everyone knew about my and Ivanna's pregnancies and told us to rest. Ivanna and I didn't hesitate and returned to the bedroom on the plane.Lying on the bed, Ivanna told me, "Poppy is shameless. Didn't she say she came to Gerby to have some fun? Why didn't she join the festivities tonight? Why is she following us back instead?"I snorted coldly. "If Atlas hadn’t been there today, I wouldn't have realized the fall was fake. I might have been in serious danger.""You should have done something about her!" Ivanna turned over and looked at me, disdainfully saying, "I've seen many people like her. I know all about her schemes.""It's not up to me," I complained."At least her schemes aren’t as bad as Harmony Hampton’s were back then. She needs to work harder," Ivanna admitted."She can't stir up any big waves. I know what to do. If she gets cocky, I'll take care of her." I said disdainfully. "I can
Arnold pushed the bedroom door open, peeked his head inside, and impatiently exclaimed, "Hey! I was wondering where you went! Why are you here? Don't you jeopardize my sister's pregnancy! Should you be here? Are you blind?"Poppy had a way out. She immediately smiled obsequiously at both of us and said, "Sorry!"With that, she pretended to stay calm and quickly left.Arnold didn't mince his words. "Why are you running around everywhere?"Then he closed the bedroom door gently, and Ivanna snorted coldly. "I can’t believe her!"I stared at the furious Ivanna and couldn't help but giggle. "You’re way too blunt!""Blunt? Let me tell you, Chloe, if you give her an inch, she'll take a mile!" Ivanna lay back down and said fiercely, "If I don't deal with her, I'll regret it!""I admire your straightforwardness." I shook my head and lay down, too.But I couldn’t fall asleep. I checked the clock and saw that we probably weren’t far from Foswood.Poppy had completely ruined this nap.I
When the arrival notification dinged in the cabin, Atlas and the others returned to the main lounge.Poppy immediately took the opportunity to ask if I wanted to go out for a meal together."No thanks. I'm tired. I just want to sleep right now!" I smiled at her, but I thought she was being very clingy.Arnold, who was following behind me, said to Poppy, "I'll take you back to the hotel."Then he asked, "Sis, is Dad still in Foswood?""I don't know. He had a meeting on Tuesday, and it's Saturday now, so he should be back in Solaris." I thought about it and didn’t think Dad would be able to stay so long.When we walked out of the airport, it was already nighttime.After saying goodbye, everyone went home in taxis.When Poppy saw that we were all leaving, she reluctantly said, "Arnold, I won't trouble you. I can go back by myself."Arnold immediately smiled brightly. "Okay! We’ll meet again another day."I saw the extreme disappointment on Poppy's face and almost burst out laugh
I glanced at him, unsure how to begin.It was Arnold who broke the silence. "Go ahead and speak.""Do you really want to take over completely?" I scrutinized him.He chuckled. "Seems like I'm still seen as a good-for-nothing in your eyes, and I’m just a freeloader. Am I that bad?""Not at all. It's just a bit sudden." I tried to hide my skepticism."It's time for me to take over. Grandma is getting old, and I've been quite unfilial. I've been reckless and irresponsible, but I have to step up. After all, the family can't find another successor. It's a responsibility I can't ignore."He spoke with solemnity as if burdened with a mission.I didn't expect Arnold to be quite manly when he was serious, which made me look at him in a new light. It seemed like he always had the Beringer family's responsibilities on his mind.Seeing me staring at him, he tapped my head. "What are you looking at? You’re that surprised?"I nodded with a smile. "Yeah. It's indeed surprising. I didn't expe
It was a call from Trinity.I felt excited and quickly answered, "Trinity, where are you?""I'm at home." Her clear voice came through."At home? At the Huffman family’s residence? You're back?" I asked eagerly."Yeah. Are you coming?" she asked."I'm coming!" I replied. "I just woke up. Wait for me, I'll be there soon, and we can talk."I hung up the phone and hastily got out of bed, almost stumbling in my hurry.Trinity was back! She truly was a mystery, appearing and disappearing without a trace. But when she returned, it was as if she had never left.I quickly freshened up and rushed out. I went to the study but didn't see Atlas, so I hurried downstairs.There was nobody in the hall, so he might not be home.As I was leaving, I bumped into my mom coming in from outside. Seeing me in a rush, she asked, "You're awake. Where are you going? Have you eaten?""Mom, I'm in a hurry to go to the Huffman family's residence. Trinity is back! I haven't eaten yet, but I'll eat there.
There were two little kids in the car, so I had to slow down.On the way, they kept asking endless questions about everything they saw, and I couldn't believe how curious they were.Finally, we arrived at the Huffman family's residence. Ava looked at the grand gate in surprise and asked, "Does Grandpa Anson live in a park?”I chuckled and glanced at the magnificent gate of the Huffman family's residence. It was towering, just like the entrance to a park.No wonder the girls were so curious. I led them inside and said, "This is Grandpa Anson's house. It's huge and pretty, right?”As we walked in, the girls kept asking questions curiously.In the central hall, we saw Anson, leisurely sitting there drinking tea. He was clearly in a good mood.Before I could say anything, Ava broke free from me and ran over, calling out, "Grandpa Anson! Mommy, Jenny, and I are here to visit you."She added, "Grandpa Anson, your house is really grand."Anson was delighted with the flattery. "Oh, my
From her expression, I could tell there was a significant piece of information in her scheme.I didn't press for details and waited for her to reveal it herself."Stella's mastermind at the time wanted to influence Yare, and she had her eyes on the power of the Huffman family there. She promised that if we cooperated with her and it succeeded, she could mediate the future power in Yare and let the Huffman family lead it.""Does she have that much power?" I doubted, sneering. "Honestly, I didn't see Stella as someone capable of manipulating the non-organization forces. At best, she's just a lackey."Thinking of this, I suddenly remembered something. Atlas had always wanted to confirm if Stella was indeed Gemma. I was so busy that I forgot.Trinity shook her head, contemptuously smiling. "Indeed, she doesn't have that ability, but she serves as a bridge to the organization. Now, it seems that she's become the focus of attention for a few things.""Indeed, in the case of rescuing my
