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
Chapter 1466 The Price of Peaceful Coexistence
Later, I heard someone tell me that Kevin's wife was notorious in their circle because her maternal family was of fallen royal lineage. In her words, she had noble blood, so she never respected Kevin and treated him as she pleased. Of course, the Ellis family’s business did benefit a lot from her family's connections, which gradually contributed to her domineering personality.She had unexpectedly suffered a major setback this time. During all these years, she had never realized that Kevin would still cheat on her despite her constant pressure.Her relationship with Adeline over the years had been delicate. Adeline always acted superior in front of her, while Kevin's wife showed great respect for Adeline and Celine under Kevin's supervision.Although Kevin's wife often felt displeased and unhappy when she saw Adeline and Celine’s arrogant attitude, Kevin always persuaded her to interact with them and maintain peace. After all, the Pierce family was basically a cash cow to Kevin.
Chapter 1467 The Burnett Family's Head Bodyguard
Everyone looked at Celine with complicated expressions.David continued, "Am i right? If I hadn’t secretly told the Lively family to take Atlas away, you might have tried to harm him too."That was when I understood why Atlas said the Lively family had taken him away.In that moment, images flooded my mind, from the night my mother died to Atlas holding me as we curled up in the corner and him being pulled away while desperately holding my hand.Tears welled up in my eyes."Later, I finally found out that you bribed Clark to lure Rory away before that flight, leaving my son's confidant behind to find out their business plans. You're despicable!" David pointed his cane accusingly at Celine.Finally, some people in the hall began to understand and stepped forward to condemn Celine.I scanned the crowd carefully and realized that these people had not been deceived and were not opportunists."Afterwards, you sent people to hunt Atlas down even though he was just a child. If the Cro
Chapter 1468 Unexpected Disclosure
He accused Johnny in front of everyone. "That's right, I’m the head bodyguard of the Burnett family, and everyone knows that. I’m in this situation today thanks to Johnny and Celine."As soon as he spoke, Johnny panicked. His already pale face turned even paler, and his light gray eyes exuded coldness. He muttered, "Shut up! You’re an ungrateful scoundrel, Antonio Knox. I searched for you everywhere when you disappeared years ago. How could you turn against me now?”Antonio immediately sneered, "Do you even have a guilty conscience, Johnny? You knew exactly what you were doing. Were you looking for me, or were you trying to confirm if I was really dead?""Why, you!” Johnny tried to argue, but Antonio interrupted him."Celine and Johnny conspired to locate Clark, who was secretly hiding Rory. They tasked me with bringing Rory back secretly, even if he was dead. And they told me I could take extreme measures if necessary.”Celine lost her composure when she saw Antonio reveal everyt
Chapter 1469 Shocking Secret
Antonio continued, "Think about it. After those incidents, Celine intervened in your businesses. On the surface, she might have seemed like a savior, but in reality, she was a demon. She indirectly killed all of your loved ones.”Celine completely lost her mind at those words. She didn't care about her image anymore and quickly rushed toward Antonio, only to be kicked back by Tristan.As Celine stumbled to the ground, Antonio looked at her with disdain and fiercely said, "Stop the act, Celine. We all know you’re not innocent.“You and the Non-Organization planned the plane crash involving Louis. You’re the one who killed Louis, and you’ll get what you deserve sooner or later. I've been waiting for this day."The hall erupted into chaos. Everyone exchanged angry glances.Those who seemed resentful had probably experienced unexpected incidents themselves.Antonio grinned evilly. "Did you forget that you once told me to get rid of Clark because he knew too much? He knew you were the
Chapter 1470 He Can Only Assist
That revelation instantly caught everyone's attention, igniting a collective curiosity about how Atlas had learned this 'secret'.To the gathered crowd, Atlas seemed almost supernatural, possessing an uncanny ability to uncover hidden truths. How did he seem to know everything?With a subtle smirk, Atlas calmly began to unravel the mystery. "Although my grandpa had a DNA test done to confirm that you were his daughter, the blood used for that test belonged to my father.”Atlas disdainfully remarked, “How cunning! Adeline had already bribed the doctors and nurses long before your birth. Of course, she paid the hefty sum to cover up the true identity of her illegitimate child's father, Kevin, the head of the Ellis family."But fate works in mysterious ways. Kevin overlooked one crucial detail. Thanks to the 'secret' you created, one of the doctors and nurses had a love affair."You inadvertently provided me with the clue, Celine.

"But our accounts need to be sorted!" Atlas's face displayed an undeniable determination.The others immediately showed signs of retreat, their faces filled with fear and resignation.Everyone present knew how ruthless Atlas could be. Even if they didn't, they were witnessing it firsthand today.Although the atmosphere in the hall seemed less tense now, everyone feared what Atlas would do next.Every glance from him sent a chill down their spines, and they all felt a desire to flee. However, with the current situation, none of them could leave.This meant that as long as they stayed here, there was always the risk of being targeted by this tyrant. After all, all of them had been too eager for success in the business world.They couldn't help but resent today's instigator, Celine. Celine orchestrated this for their amusement, but now it felt like they had walked into a trap of their own making.Each of them secretly vowed that if they made it out of there, they would turn over a
