However, Ryan seemed to have everything well prepared, arranging the next steps.Judging by how smoothly he proceeded with the upcoming tasks, Ryan had been planning this for a long time.

That feeling of being pushed forward became clear at this moment.This time, it was Ryan steering the ship, and I couldn’t help but feel like I was reaping the rewards.
Chapter 485 The Infamous Beringer Family
Rose’s eyes held none of the cloudiness often associated with age. Instead, they gleamed with sharp intelligence.As she saw us approaching, her eyes twinkled. She said to Atlas, “You’re here and fashionably late!”Atlas’s eyes were warm as he smiled. He replied, “My beloved Grandma Rose, I’m just in time. No one noticed!”I had never seen Atlas like this before. The aloof and composed Atlas had a playful side to him! It seemed his relationship with Rose ran deep.“Introduce me, won’t you?” The elderly lady’s gaze shifted to me with a discerning look.“Chlo, this is the star of today, Rose Beringer. You can call her Grandma Rose!” He introduced me with a soft voice, smiling tenderly.I stepped forward, greeting her, “Grandma Rose.”“Grandma, this is the person I’ve been waiting for!” Rose gave me a thorough once-over, and then we shook hands. She gave it a gentle squeeze before nodding. “Mmm, soft as cotton, destined for prosperity.”Her words left me perplexed. I couldn’t he
Chapter 486 Friendship of the Two Men
I saw from a distance that someone was entering through the main gate. It was a figure of elegance and understated grace.I was quite surprised. Bella, it seemed, was also among the invited guests. This woman was truly extraordinary. Her serene and elegant demeanor concealed an enigmatic aura that was difficult to fathom.Moreover, she had entered alone, which suggested that she was on the guest list, and wasn’t the date of anyone.Seemingly noticing my distraction, Atlas turned his head to follow my gaze and asked, "Are you looking at her?"I glanced at Atlas and nodded. "Yes, she's quite remarkable."Atlas gave a faint smile and didn't say much. However, I could tell from his expression that he knew Bella. He was simply too much of a gentleman to discuss someone else's private affairs.Just then, Atticus walked over to where we were, his arm around Liora.Today, Liora seemed to have toned down her hostility. She was leaning gently into Atticus's arm, looking every bit like a t
Chapter 487 The Right Timing
I looked toward the source of the voice and saw Arthur approaching. I was somewhat surprised and quickly went up to greet him, simultaneously avoiding any awkwardness with Liora."Mr. Arthur.""Congratulations on your recent achievements," Arthur said with a smile. I felt that he was only doing this because of Atlas. Otherwise, a figure of his status in Foswood wouldn't bother to congratulate me.I immediately replied modestly, "Thank you, Mr. Arthur.""I never expected you to be so capable. I read the article, and it’s not bad. Our city is truly in need of benchmark enterprises with far-reaching goals, and that aligns with your ambition. Building a brand is indeed not something that ordinary people dare to think about. Many businessmen are only interested in short-term gains and lack a long-term vision, so they can't become great entrepreneurs." Arthur praised me wholeheartedly.I noticed Liora's expression became colder.Amused, I decided to provoke her a little more. "You’re t
Chapter 488 Choosing the Wrong Occasion
I quickly stood up and positioned myself beside Bella, taking a slight step back to avoid overshadowing her.It was evident that Archie had come over for Bella.Bella had always seemed mysterious to me, her identity remaining a puzzle. I enjoyed deciphering the interpersonal relationships here, especially when I wanted to understand Bella better. She was quite alluring to me. More precisely, Bella possessed a charismatic personality.At this moment, she gracefully shook hands with Archie, exuding a gentle yet distant allure that made her inscrutable. Her demeanor was perfectly balanced, with just the right touch of charm.She didn't forget to mention me standing beside her. "Mr. Archie, this is Atlas’s girlfriend, Chloe."Her introduction was interesting, positioning me as Atlas's girlfriend, not just a friend or companion but a girlfriend. This indicated that Bella was quite discerning. After all, my status hadn't been confirmed by Atlas, so she couldn't outright claim it. Howev
Chapter 489 A Sudden Confrontation
Upon hearing my reminder, she seemed to think I was trying to oppress her and instantly became furious, raising her voice several notches."Chloe, don't think that just because you rely on Atlas's connections to come here today, you feel like your worth has doubled. What are you? An outsider trying to establish yourself in Foswood? You really have some nerve. Even Matthew could easily shoo you away with a kick. Do you really think you can come and go as you please, you despicable wretch!"Liora's words were extremely cutting, but I paid them no mind. I was well aware of her character and had seen enough of her. There was no need to stoop to her level; I couldn't afford to lose my dignity here.I continued to speak softly, "I have always known how to put myself in the right place. It's true I'm an outsider, but I started my business with my own wisdom, aboveboard and honest. I would expect you to have a bit of decorum. At least, show some respect for Atticus. No matter what, we shoul
Chapter 490 A Blessing in Disguise
Rose pulled me to sit down, her face still grim. I glanced around the table, not seeing Liora, but I did notice Atticus still there. His eyes were fixed on me, and it seemed he must have noticed what had transpired.Fearful that Rose might continue her outburst and embarrass Atticus, I quickly reached out and poured her a cup of tea. "Grandma Rose, please have some tea."She sighed and looked at me, seemingly complaining, "You are such a considerate girl. If only I had a granddaughter like you."Upon hearing Rose's words, Bella suddenly smiled and said, "Grandma Rose, you and Mr. Archie are so similar. You always dwell on shortcomings. Since you like Chloe so much, why don't I suggest that Mr. Archie just accept Chloe as his daughter?"This statement completely stunned me. What was Bella thinking? She continued to smile gently. "Having a granddaughter would make you happy, and Mr. Archie would have a daughter too. If you care for her, it would give her support and prevent others fr
Chapter 491 Striking a Deal
The next day, I had just walked into the office when Atticus followed suit.I wondered why he was here or if it had anything to do with yesterday’s events.After sitting on the couch, he said, “Congratulations, Ms. Chloe!”I smiled. Indeed, these past few days have been filled with so much good news that it was almost overwhelming.Taking a seat on the couch, I looked at him. “Mr. Atticus, you’re not just here to congratulate me, right?”Carol brought in some tea, and I said. “The tea here is sourced from the Vanderberg Palace. Have some.”"You certainly have your ways. You got tea from the Vanderberg Palace. You only recently met Bella, but your relationship with her has already progressed." Atticus’s words held a deeper meaning.“Are you referring to yesterday’s incident?” I scrutinized his face. “For me, that was an accident.”Atticus affirmed, “I’m here because I need your help with something.”“How can I assist you, Mr. Atticus? If I can, I’ll give it my all.”He looke
