Chapter 1395 Another Purpose
Seeing me react like that, Atlas pretended to be mysterious and said, "Of course, you have other roles.""What are you up to?" I asked."You will take over ATL Empire, assisted by Mr. Nick and Dad, so I can focus on implementing the BZ plan," he said mysteriously."What?" His words surprised me, and I looked at him anxiously, "That's not what you said before. You said you wouldn't just leave!""When did I say I would leave? But if I work behind the scenes, you can rest assured!" Atlas pinched my nose and continued, "Besides, don't you have confidence in yourself? Our family has such a large business, that it's impossible for you to just be a full-time housewife.”I looked at him and playfully pinched his face, "Are you trying to fool me?""No confidence?" he asked."I-I'm not lacking in confidence, but I'll be having a baby next year!" I blurted out, feeling a bit guilty."So let Dad and Mr. Nick assist you!" he reasoned."In addition, I will take back the entire Pierce busine
Chapter 1396 Tracking All the Way
"We've just negotiated with Ms. Kalina, Mr. Atlas. Thank you for trusting me and giving me this opportunity. The shoot will start the day after tomorrow. Is that okay with you, Mr. Atlas?" she asked, then added, "I'll make some adjustments tomorrow and make sure not to disappoint you, Mr. Atlas!""Okay," Atlas responded calmly."Will you be there at the shoot?" Poppy asked, looking at Atlas expectantly."Why would I be there?" Atlas finally looked at Poppy.Poppy was initially silent and seemed surprised when she heard Atlas's question. Then, she realized what Atlas meant."Oh, I hope you’ll be there so that I can follow your instructions and achieve the expected results. After all, you have the most say!" Poppy seemed to be able to adapt quite quickly."The designer has more say than me. If you just follow the designer’s instructions, you’ll be able to achieve the desired effect." Atlas's tone was very decisive.Poppy immediately looked embarrassed.Then she hurriedly explaine
Chapter 1397 An Elegant Gentleman Appears
When I saw the two men in black bringing someone over, it turned out to be none other than Poppy, who had just left the ATL Empire Building with us.As she walked in front of our car, Tris reached out and rolled down the window on Atlas's side. Atlas looked at Poppy coldly and said in an icy tone, "You followed us all the way here, Ms. Poppy. Do you have something to say?"Poppy's expression at this moment was simply bizarre. Her face turned as red as a tomato, and her eyes no longer dared to meet Atlas's gaze.She stuttered, "I-I-I... Mr. Atlas...!"Atlas seemed more menacing than thunder as he sat motionless in the car, his attractive face severe and frigid. His eyes were filled with an impending storm, his thin lips curved in a sharp arc, and his gaze, as sharp as an ice pick, fixed on Poppy's face. His voice was as cold as hail as he spoke."Are you aware that you’ve crossed the line?""Mr. Atlas... I was wrong. I won't dare to do it again next time. I... I was just curious a
Chapter 1398 Applauding for the Mistress
Atlas immediately stepped forward to shake hands with Leonard, their large hands clasping together.I stared at Leonard. He had left an excellent impression on me. He had a kind face, and his smile was warm and friendly.At first glance, he appeared to be a gentleman, and I had to admit that he seemed very cultured.His eyes turned to me, and he smiled at Atlas and asked, "Is this your girlfriend, Mr. Atlas? It's a pleasure to meet you! You two make a wonderful couple!""This is my wife, Chloe," Atlas corrected him.Leonard immediately said, "It’s nice to meet you, Mrs. Atlas! I apologize for my mistake."I greeted him warmly with a smile. "Hello, Mr. Leonard. It’s no problem at all."Arthur introduced us to several other unfamiliar faces, but no one else left as deep an impression as Leonard did.As I stood by Atlas's side and watched them greet one another, I continued to secretly observe Leonard.For some reason, I was uniquely attracted to this man. I didn't know why, but
Chapter 1399 Feeling Like Something's Afoot Today
"You seem very well-informed, Mr. Franklin." I replied without answering the question directly.I didn't want to delve into this topic here."Haha..." Franklin smiled calmly. "After all, these are all provincial matters, and one tends to hear about them sooner or later!"I smiled faintly and didn't continue the conversation.Just then, Arthur walked over with a gentleman by his side. He introduced him to me. "Let me introduce you to a gentleman, Mrs. Atlas. This is the most reputable young talent among the four major families in Foswood, Mr. Lance!"I was secretly surprised when I heard Arthur's introduction.Lance?The eldest son of the Sunny family, Melvern’s brother?I immediately looked over. The man in front of me did resemble Melvern, but he appeared to be more stable and humble, with a modest demeanor. However, he seemed older than Melvern.He reached out his hand to me. "It’s nice to meet you! I’m familiar with Mr. Atlas."I shook hands with him politely. "Nice to mee
Chapter 1400 The Morgan Family's In-Laws
The people in the hall suddenly fell silent as we waited for Arthur's speech.Like us, everyone here was speculating about the purpose of the Morgan family's invitation.Arthur cheerfully said, "Everyone here at this Morgan family gathering today are my dear friends and relatives. Perhaps you’re curious about why I invited you all here today?"We all looked at each other, and someone loudly said, "Yes! Stop keeping us in suspense, Mr. Arthur! We've been trying to guess what this is all about!"Arthur laughed heartily. He was clearly very happy.Then he loudly declared, "I have some good news to announce! This is the engagement banquet of my daughter Mia Morgan and the son of the President of the Monora Chamber of Commerce, Mr. Leonard's son, Ernest Tomlinson!"There was instantly an uproar, with people complaining, "This isn't right, Mr. Arthur! You should have told us this was such a big event. Look, we...""That's right, Mr. Arthur, you were wrong to do this!""We should have
Chapter 1401 Oddly Familiar
Ernest was quite humble and polite, with a commanding presence. He stood out among others, with a solid family background that matched well with the Morgan family.No wonder Arthur was all smiles. Anyone could tell he was genuinely happy.Even the usually aloof Mia was now wearing a gentle expression as she stood beside Ernest. They exchanged glances and smiles, looking genuinely happy together."It looks like Mia is really pleased this time. Love can melt even the coldest hearts," whispered Lauren to me. Ernest is quite a catch."Her words made me glance at Ernest again. I didn’t know why, but there was something oddly familiar about his face, though I couldn't place where I'd seen him before.I couldn't help but chuckle, prompting Lauren to ask, "What's so funny?""Nothing much. Just that I couldn't shake this feeling of familiarity when I looked at Ernest," I replied, still staring at him.Lauren gave me a skeptical look. "That's highly unlikely."I guess she was right. Afte
Chapter 1402 Clear Intentions
Lauren's thoughts mirrored mine. Under normal circumstances, things wouldn't be so clear-cut. Besides, we've already probed deep into this and found that Melvern's finances were robust.Behind this financial backing, there was a lot at play. On top of that, Lance wanted to return to Foswood."Arthur is truly a bridge." I sighed softly. "I don't believe everything is crystal clear."Lauren remarked, "The Morgan family's threshold isn't one that just anyone can cross. Seeing him here today indicates that he already has a direction in mind.Then Lauren asked, “Didn't we see Atticus today? Thankfully, the project for the second phase in Rivendell has already been settled.""Atticus should be on Celestis Island. He has a stalled project there, and it’s quite sizable from what I've heard." I informed Lauren. "Since the beginning of the project in Rivendell, Atticus has been determined to secure it. It's his trap for Melvern.""Let's not forget that it all passes through Melvern regardl
