Chapter 1362 Good Things Come to Those Who Wait
I was a bit stunned, but I grasped her meaning. She suggested that once Loak fully recovered, she would take over caring for my father.Anya quickly explained, "I've taken care of Mr. Rory before. I can handle it, and I want to take care of him."Grateful, I squeezed her hand and nodded. "Of course. When Loak gets better, you'll look after him, but you still need to keep up with school."Anya nodded earnestly. "I will."Loak, though still pale, smiled sincerely."Let's take a moment before going in. Don’t exhaust yourselves too much. I’ll just go in and check on my dad first,” I informed the doctor.Then, accompanied by Lauren, I entered my father's room. He was already awake, with a nurse checking his blood pressure.As he saw me enter with Lauren, he greeted her with a smile, "Hello."Lauren quickly walked to the bedside. "Hello, Uncle Rory."After the nurse finished, I gently rocked my father's bed. He sat up slightly, looking at us."Dad, this is my best friend, Lauren. S
Chapter 1363 Deep Mysteries
My father thought for a moment. "Your mother did have a family crest—a brooch. Your mother carried it to commemorate her time in the Avila family.""Oh? Do you know where it ended up?" I couldn't wait to ask, thrilled that this family crest actually existed.My father shook his head and sighed, "I don't know. I never saw it again after your mother and I parted ways."His voice choked up as he spoke about it.Coming back home, he mainly reminisced about my mother. I suppose that was his greatest emotional wound. He returned, but his beloved was no longer with him.That kind of pain must have been unbearable. So, every time my mother was mentioned, he would tear up slightly.I pressed further. "So, where did Mom usually keep her jewelry? I mean, when you were together?""Your mother wasn't fond of jewelry. I think she avoided them to avoid putting pressure on me. After we got together, she knew I was struggling financially, so she rarely wore jewelry. That brooch was part of a set
Chapter 1364 A Kind Father with a Failed Son
It had been a while since I last contacted him, so there must be something important he wanted to tell me. I quickly answered the phone. "Mr. Fred."He got straight to the point. "Mrs. Chloe, I've moved to Bourdamun." "Is everything sorted in Solaris?" I asked in surprise. Even though we hadn't seen each other in a while, moving in just two months was quite fast."Everything's sorted. I did everything according to your plans,” Fred said simply. "I didn't even touch the personnel. Only one senior technician came with me.""Oh? Then what about your work?" His words made me anxious.Tanum, coupled with the projects in Solaris, was significant. If anything went wrong over there, I couldn't compensate for it."My projects are all large-scale. The amount of material needed is huge. If anything goes missing on your end, the consequences could be unimaginable," I emphasized, feeling the gravity of the situation.I started to feel a bit anxious, wondering if I had guided Fred onto the
Chapter 1365 Maintain Control of the Situation
I turned to my father, initiating a conversation about the Myers family's situation."This eldest son, Fred, is a practical and capable person. But after his mother passed away, his father remarried and had a younger son named Hugo. This younger son grew up spoiled by his mother."When his father couldn't manage things anymore, Fred took over the factory. He ran it well, with excellent quality and high output. He quickly became a leading figure in the industry, and no one can surpass him."To be honest, I really admire Fred's qualities. Otherwise, I wouldn't have chosen to work with his company back then."But as this younger one grew up, he became envious of his successful elder brother. Plus, his mother was pushing him, seeing the factory as a treasure to go after.”"It's similar to the Pierce family," my father said."Listen to the rest first," I said. "The younger brother knows the limit to his abilities, so he wants to reap the benefits without doing any real work. He's not
Chapter 1366 Prepare for the Worst
My father noticed my contemplation and knew I was seriously thinking about what he said. "You need to understand how to mitigate risks when undertaking significant endeavors, Chloe. Indecisiveness leads to chaos."I nodded earnestly at my father's advice.Louis might have compromised on this in the past, and he had paid for it.My father didn't continue but instead said, "Get the nurse to take me out for some fresh air."I quickly called the nurse. Since I was pregnant, I couldn't afford to be reckless. Atlas wouldn’t even let me carry Ava anymore.As the nurse wheeled my father to the garden to see George, I returned to the foyer with Lauren.Lauren looked at me. "It seems your dad really sees through to the heart of the matter. He's right. This issue does need to be addressed at the root. Otherwise, it'll always be a problem. The best strategy would be to ensure that our supply remains intact, and it’s also our responsibility to do that.""I've actually had this idea and discu
Chapter 1367 Transfer of All Assets
Certainly, Atlas had played a significant role in this.Back then, the Beringer family had also contributed significantly to Atlas's persistent efforts to locate me.I only learned today that Archie's career had been on the rise back then. Louis and my father had paved the way for him, providing unwavering support and serving as his backbone, ensuring a smooth journey.Despite the Beringer family's prestigious reputation, their business had actually shrunk over the years.The three of them had sworn to be brothers in private long ago, with Louis as the eldest, Archie as the second, and my father as the youngest.That fact had remained unknown until today when Archie mentioned it at dinner. In fact, only my adoptive parents and I hadn’t known about this.Atlas had long known the inside story, as did Ardie and Arnold.So, my parents felt a little uneasy, and they definitely felt like outsiders.But at the family banquet today, Archie, in his capacity as the eldest, sincerely than
Chapter 1368 Being Wealthy is Also Exhausting
He quickly reassured me. "You're overthinking things. Come here and let Nick explain it to you," Atlas said, pulling me down to sit beside him and glancing at Nick.Nick adjusted his posture and looked at me, explaining Atlas's intentions in detail.Although I understood what Atlas was trying to do, I still felt uneasy. I looked at him and said, "But isn't there still a 'what if'? I won’t allow you to have this 'what if' situation. I'm just a simple woman who wants to live a peaceful life with our children. These things mean nothing to me."Atlas smiled contentedly, hugged me tightly, and teased, "Is your vision that limited? If you don't want this, then what do you want?""I..." I wanted to say, 'I just want you,' but we had an audience.I glanced at the other three people in the room."I understand what you’re thinking. I won't leave you. Don't forget, I searched for you for eighteen years. It was hard to find you, so how could I bear to part with you again?" His tone was tende
Chapter 1369 Spending Money Requires Stamina
Atlas quickly lifted me up and took me to the bed in the rest area, looking at me tenderly, "You've worked hard, my dear."I glanced at him scornfully and snorted, "You’d better work hard, or I might replace you."He chuckled at my words, climbed into bed, and lay down beside me. He caressed my belly as he said, "Of course, honey. From now on, I’ll be your full-time employee. I'll do whatever you say.""Cut it out. I just want a simple life without all this wealth. Having so much money is exhausting. Spending it requires effort too," I said truthfully. I finally understood how Atlas had become a rich man when I signed those documents today. He was involved in many industries, and everything he did had gone well. That was how he had the capital to maintain his position as the king of the business world.With a heavy heart, I asked, "What percentage of ownership will we have once the BZ plan is launched?""Two-thirds," Atlas said confidently."Two-thirds?" I sat up abruptly, repe
