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
Chapter 1370 She Disappeared into Thin Air
As Dylan slowly drove the car away, I said, "Dylan, you helped me bury the old man from that deserted village outside Navi’s base, right?""Yes, ma’am. I buried him behind his house. That village is completely abandoned now.""I feel sorry for the people in that village," I sighed. "By the way, when you were cleaning up the base later, did you find any traces of Stella?”I couldn't shake the feeling that something was off. I knew Dylan didn't like Stella, and he had even targeted her at the base. It was clear that he regarded her with disdain, not as some kind of helpless woman.But logically, Stella couldn't have escaped on her own under the constant gunfire with those injuries to her leg and shoulder. So, how did she vanish into thin air? I just couldn't wrap my head around it."I didn't see her. Someone must have helped her escape," Dylan said."Don't you find it suspicious?" I asked, my question carrying a hint of reproach.Dylan didn't shirk his responsibility, "Yes, ma’am.
Chapter 1371 Speaking the Truth
This time, I was genuinely surprised. "The Avila family?""Yes, the leader of the younger generation of the Avila family," Atlas affirmed."How did you know?" I asked. "Is the information reliable?""Are you doubting me?" Atlas asked. "Her whereabouts are never beyond Jared's sight.""No wonder his cooperation with the Huffman family hasn't been affected," I exclaimed belatedly. "It seems Jared is quite strategic to seize such an opportunity."Then, I asked, "What kind of man is he?"Atlas glanced at me casually as if it didn't concern him."Is he outstanding?" I asked again, and of course, Atlas knew what I meant."He's the youngest military leader in Yare. Quite a tough man, I would say," Atlas said succinctly, leaving it at that.I involuntarily shook my head, and the fleeting image of the burly figure in the elevator flashed in my mind. "No wonder when Trinity returned, she seemed very familiar with the Avila family and genuinely concerned about my grandma. From her tone
Chapter 1372 Meeting Clark at Night
How was this man so irresistibly perfect and flawless? Truly, it was a stroke of luck to have found him.I indulged in every bite. Yare, the Avila family—none of it mattered anymore.When we returned to Pleca Park, it wasn't too late, but the vast living room felt unusually deserted, with only my foster mom present. It was giving off a chilly vibe."Mom, why are you all alone?" I approached cheerfully, asking her."Hey. Your grandma and Arnold went back home today. The kids were tired from playing and just fell asleep, so it's just me now." She sighed, "Once they left, it felt so empty. It's better when there are more people here, and it’s livelier."I suddenly remembered that Archie had already returned to Solaris this morning with Ardie. Arnold, having decided to take over the Beringer family business entirely, had gone to the company early in the morning with Grandma Rose.All of them had decided to move back to the Beringer family’s mansion."Is Dad asleep too?" I asked casu
