Chapter 1458 Losing All Dignity
As the old man named Johnny basked in his glory, Atlas's clear voice cut through the air."That doesn't mean you can leverage the close friendship between the Burnett and the Pierce families to act like you’re in charge here and point fingers at me. Do you think you're entitled to that?"Atlas's words stunned everyone. No one expected him to rebuke Johnny so harshly.Johnny was taken aback. Glaring at Atlas, he gulped several times before finally spitting out a word. “You!”"You did everything for your own selfish gain. You caused your own brother to be paralyzed so you could be the head of the family, and you joined forces and formed an alliance with Celine! “You manipulated public opinion, colluded with shareholders, and pressured my dad to relinquish control of Pierce Corporation. Have you forgotten all that? Did you think I didn’t know? Or is it that you simply don't think much of the Pierce Corporation?"Atlas launched a barrage of questions, each more relentless than the l
Chapter 1459 You're Next
"Your wife? Her?”Adeline exuded an aura of authority as she stood across from me. "What kind of woman dares to come to the Pierce family’s residence and act so arrogantly? Your wife? Pfft.”She snorted and turned to Atlas. "This woman's background is unclear. Even if she is Rory's daughter, she has no right to be part of our family until Rory has been cleared from suspicion of betraying Louis.”People behind her echoed her sentiments, showing extreme disdain.Adeline raised her voice. "Do you think I’m dead? How could I ever allow a divorced woman whose scandals are well-known by the entire town to be part of this family?”She glared at me, and her words immediately ignited my anger."You're not dead, but you can't claim to be the head of the Pierce family.”I stood tall, full of confidence. "I married Atlas lawfully, which makes me Atlas's legitimate wife. Who do you think you are to meddle in our affairs?"I finished my retort and strode to the main sofa in the hall, taking
Chapter 1460 This Is Too Satisfying
The crowd was shocked and wasn’t sure where the sound of someone being hit had come from.The old hag wailed hysterically. "How dare you hit me?"Everyone looked at Adeline and saw her holding her face on the ground. Blood trickled from the corner of her mouth, and her face swelled visibly.Adeline was used to being in charge, so she refused to back down. She glared at Tristan, screaming, "Murder! This is murder. You're all witnesses. That scoundrel dared to attack me, rebelling against authority. Atlas, you...""Didn’t we say you should stop talking?" Tristan took another step forward, frowning. "You deserve this punishment.”Tristan's movements scared Adeline. She trembled on the ground."Atlas!" Celine shouted angrily. "You've gone too far. I tried to help you connect with our acquaintances in Nocturnia and solidify your influence here. And yet, you repay me like this."She glared at Atlas. "Regardless of whether you admit it or not, I’m still your grandmother and an elder of
Chapter 1461 No More Ellis Family in Nocturnia
The crowd’s curiosity was at its peak. They were holding on to every word, eager for more juicy details.The plot twists left everyone curious and unwilling to leave. After all, Atlas’s words held a lot of weight.“What are you up to? Don't forget your identity. As the head of the Pierce family, you shouldn't..." Kevin was starting to panic.I felt a rush of satisfaction. It seemed like this plot twist was about to get even juicier."You're right. I am the head of the Pierce family. From today onward, everything in the Pierce family is under my command. I won't spare a single penny of the Pierce family's wealth. I have no reason to support anyone from the Ellis family anymore."The hall erupted into chaos."What does this mean?""Who is he talking about?""Is he referring to Adeline? No way, right?""Quiet down and listen."Everyone in the hall was stunned, their eyes fixed on Adeline and Celine.Just then, a high-pitched, angry female voice rang out, "Kevin, what does he me
Chapter 1462 Rapid Reversal
As Tricia's hand hovered close to Atlas's body, his cold glare pierced through her, causing her hand to freeze mid-air. She looked lost and desperate, pleading, "Mr. Atlas, please spare the Ellis family! Don't do this..."Her previous arrogance disappeared completely. If I hadn't witnessed her earlier display of insolence, I might have felt sorry for this girl.Kevin immediately crumbled. He looked at Atlas, seated regally on the sofa like a victorious emperor returning from battle. "You little scum! How dare you trick me?”"Anyone who dares to meddle with the Pierce family will face my wrath. Kevin, the Pierce family has been investing in this case for 20 years. It’s time for us to receive our gains." Atlas said to the disheveled Kevin, "Are you satisfied with tonight's banquet?"“You—” Atlas's cold gaze cut off Kevin's angry retort. "Since my father passed away, there’s nothing I can’t do. A businessman must always make a profit.""Guards!" Celine's furious shout caused ch
Chapter 1463 Facing Death
Before she could reach David, he suddenly lifted his cane and poked it into her chest."You wretch!"Adeline cried out in pain, immediately clutching the area where David had just struck her. With a grunt, she knelt before David.She looked at David sorrowfully, overwhelmed by his chilling aura. Her swollen face made her look even uglier, and the dried bloodstains at the corner of her lips highlighted the sinister horror of her face. Yet, her eyes radiated with a stubborn viciousness."Do you really think I am so foolish that I would believe your lies?" David asked."Dad..." Celine took a step forward. Don't listen to what they say. I've worked so hard for the Pierce family all these years.”"Dad?" David chuckled sarcastically.Celine took another step forward, looking pitiful. "Dad, I've managed Pierce Corporation diligently all these years, and I've never been disloyal to you. You're the only father I acknowledge.""Really? You've taken control of Pierce Corporation, yet you’
Chapter 1464 Malicious Gaze
With a dull thud, Adeline's head was struck by the cane, causing blood to splatter everywhere.Adeline let out a miserable scream as Atlas immediately shielded my eyes, covering them with his hands.Celine stared blankly at everything before her. It was her mother who had been struck by David.The hall erupted in gasps of shock. No one had expected such a brutal act from an elderly man.Celine looked at David, unable to keep up the act any longer. Her face turned terrifyingly grim, and her eyes flashed with malice.David, however, remained calm as he looked at her, raising an eyebrow in response. "Are you surprised? Do you really think I’m on the verge of death?”After that, he glanced at Abbas, and Abbas immediately gestured toward the door. Everyone turned to look in that direction.At the entrance stood a burly bodyguard holding a trembling maid in his arms. With a wave of his hand, he dropped the maid at Celine's feet.Celine took a step back, seemingly stunned."What? Don
Chapter 1465 A Group Brawl
David looked at her without a trace of pity and said, "When you plotted against my son, you should have expected this day, you evil bitch! You came to my house, and I treated you and your daughter well, but you repaid me by killing my son. I was blind and foolish.""Let go of me!" Celine roared angrily, then looked at David."What? Don't you know what this is?" David interrupted, addressing the now exposed Celine."Since you don't know what it is, let your mother taste it and see what it is." Abbas stepped forward and forcefully pushed the pills into Adeline's mouth, and then the bodyguard swiftly closed her mouth.Adeline struggled and shook her head continuously, her former commanding demeanor completely gone. She was now desperately struggling, refusing to swallow the pills."Mm... mm..."Her eyes pleaded with David, but seeing him so stern, she turned to Kevin to seek help. However, Kevin was preoccupied with his own troubles and couldn't care less about her.Her plea infuri
