Chapter 304 A Stern Warning
I stood there feeling helpless and confused. Maybe because Atlas trusted Nick, my emotions got the best of me. I couldn't conceal my anxiety as I looked at him."Mr. Nick, besides the head injury, how is he? Is he okay? Did the doctors say when he might wake up? And...will there be any lasting effects?"I felt myself on the verge of breaking down. Why did fate have to be so cruel? Why did it have to be Atlas?Nick looked at my face, helpless. “He also had arm and chest injuries, but the head injury was the worst. The doctors can't provide a definite timeline for when he'll wake up. It could be a few days or maybe even months, depending on how the bleeding in his head resolves."I couldn’t hold back my tears, but I quickly wiped them away."Ms. Chloe, you should go back. This accident has already disrupted Atlas's plans. We all hope he wakes up soon and can take charge," Nick said seriously. "Of course, I understand how you feel, but now that this has happened, we must focus on mov
Chapter 305 The Beginning of the End
Ryan, who hadn’t seen me all day, was anxious. He had called me multiple times, but I hadn't answered. When I finally returned, he hurriedly followed me into my office."Chlo, where were you? Are you feeling unwell?" Ryan's concern was evident as he noticed the pallor on my face.I sank wearily into my chair. "I went to ATL Empire and met with Nick.""Any news?" Ryan inquired promptly, fully aware of why I had met with Nick."H-He's still unconscious! He hasn't woken up yet." I didn't hold back any details from Ryan. I felt utterly powerless. "He suffered a head injury. They're keeping the news under wraps."Ryan understood the gravity of the situation and said, "No wonder they are trying so hard to hide this. This happened as Atlas announced his takeover. It's not a good sign. Those loyalists of Celine, I'm afraid they will be active again.""The most important part is not knowing when he will wake up. Today, Celine returned to Nocturnia. I initially thought it was good news, bu
Chapter 306 The Cops Are Here Again
I remembered something and said to Ryan, “Speaking of Atlas’s injury, I haven't seen or heard anything about Dylan since then. Is Dylan also seriously injured?”I looked at Ryan in puzzlement.He nodded and replied, “You're right. Dylan should be injured, too.”“He was in the same car as Atlas. Judging from the car’s condition, Dylan should also be seriously injured.” I recalled what I had seen on the screen that day. Indeed, the car was severely damaged.“Chlo, trust that Atlas will be okay. You need to relax,” Ryan reassured me, fearing I would get worked up again, “Sometimes, we must think things through.”I helplessly nodded and said, “There’s nothing else I can do. I can’t see how Atlas is, so I can only wait. Please check on the progress of our project in the next few days, especially the project with ATL Empire. We must carefully avoid any mistakes to prevent Celine from causing trouble.”Just then, someone knocked on my office door. I said, “Come in!”Carol entered and w
Chapter 307 Bombarding Them with Questions
I became cold and arrogant. While I was nervous during their first visit, I also felt resentful this time. The cops’ attitudes, expressions, and tone annoyed me.“I’m curious, officers. What exactly are you investigating? Although I’m not a professional, I know you’ve missed some crucial questions. I don’t know if you intentionally avoided asking them or if you already have the answers,” I spoke with skepticism.After a pause, I asked, “Why didn’t you ask me what Kennedy wanted to tell me?”Immediately after asking that question, I stared at the officer to observe his reaction. As expected, he was speechless.The other officer awkwardly said, “That’s what we wanted to ask you next.”“Then let me ask you two something. Did you overlook this question on your previous visit? Or did you avoid asking it? Maybe you already know what he wanted to tell me?” My follow-up questions were assertive.I continued questioning, “Since this case involves me, can I know why you’re investigating th
Chapter 308 News Blackout
I remained silent momentarily before saying, “I was eager to know how severe his injuries were and why there’s no news about it.”One of the officers said, “Mr. Atlas suffered severe injuries in his accident, and ATL Empire requested to remove the news.”I couldn’t help but frown at the words “severe injuries.”“We could only cooperate with ATL Empire. However, it doesn’t affect how we usually handle his case. The news blackout only concerns Mr. Atlas’s condition, not the case’s outcome. The public should receive a satisfactory explanation once we’ve concluded the case.”I knew the officer was tight-lipped and that trying to extract the information I wanted from them was unlikely. However, I deduced that Celine had ordered to block the news because Atlas was in a coma.Although it was a reasonable precaution on her part, I needed to know what she planned to do afterward. I figured only she and her people knew.I helplessly looked at the two officers and softened my tone, “That’s
Chapter 309 She Came on Her Own
Yesterday, Ivanna told me that Stella had visited Harmony. Today, I was surprised to see Harmony at my office.I leaned into my office chair as I watched Harmony saunter in. I smirked and said, “Hey, Ms. Harmony, did you wander into the wrong office? Although we’re neighbors, we have no business together.”Harmony responded playfully, “What’s wrong with that? You should be honored that I came here. Not to brag, but many companies want to hire me.”I stood up with a bright smile, walked out from behind my desk, and sat on the couch. After gesturing for Harmony to join me, I said, “You’re right. Since you’re a guest, please have a seat.”Harmony appeared playful and elegant as she sauntered to the couch. She put down her bag and put it aside. She looked at me and said, “I didn’t expect your company to be so well-organized. I underestimated you.”Her words made me see her in a different light. I was surprised that she dared to speak the truth. I agreed that she had underestimated me.
Chapter 310 Sowing Discord
Harmony smirked and said coyly, “Guess.”“I’m not curious, so why should I guess?” I refused to cooperate.My response caught Harmony off guard, and she turned cold, “Don’t you want to know about Atlas?”I scoffed and looked at her with disdain. “Why would I want to know? He's your boyfriend, not mine. At best, Atlas and I are just business partners. Did you fall for someone's tricks again?”I chuckled and looked at her triumphantly. I might’ve been anxious to know and fall for her tricks if it were yesterday. However, I could keep my poker face now, even if I was anxious. Indeed, my attitude confused Harmony.She stared at me in disbelief and asked, “You genuinely don’t want to know?”"Do I look like I'm lying?" I pretended to be casual, lounging on the couch. "I guess whoever sent you here has ill intentions. They’re probably trying to sow discord between us. Harmony, we’re not even friends, so is there a need to make us fight?”I smirked and taunted her, “Since you came all t
Chapter 311 People Fear Violence
Harmony asked, “Chloe, what exactly is your relationship with Atlas?”Her sudden question didn’t surprise me. It was clear she wanted to uncover my connection with Atlas.Stella had stirred Harmony’s anxiety, but this impulsive move was entirely hers. Harmony was not stupid, but she was a klutz. Her question showed she doubted Stella’s manipulation.Teasingly, I asked, “What do you think our relationship is?”I avoided her question, knowing that provoking her was the only way to get her to stand up to Stella. I had promised Lauren that she could witness this drama unfold.Then, I timidly said, “I never said he’s my boyfriend. I don’t have the guts for that!” Maybe my words reassured Harmony, or perhaps it was because I didn’t confirm my relationship with Atlas. Either way, her expression relaxed.“I only wanted to tell you about Atlas’s condition,” Harmony stammered, her confidence waning. “I heard that he’s been discharged and is back home.”I wasn’t surprised. After all, I
