Chapter 546 Owing A Life
I looked at Ivanna, expressing my helplessness. "So, not only do I have this inexplicable connection with Stella, but there's also a reason for them to want to kill me.""Chlo, that..." Ivanna seemed at a loss for words."So, this wasn't a random incident but a premeditated one. Now, I just want to know their reason for doing so." I looked up at Ivanna, my eyes reflecting a sense of bewilderment. "But it's a bit dramatic. I never expected that the person who saved my life would turn out to be Trinity."Moreover, I seem to have an inexplicable connection with the Huffman family. Just like that, I'm now involved with them. Even though I'm repulsed by the Huffman family, I don't have a reason to sever ties with them. After all, I owe Trinity my life.""That's not necessarily a bad thing. Everyone has their own values, and the Huffman family is no exception. You don't need to look at the Huffman family with a different view. They might have a different way of doing things, but from a c
Chapter 547 For the Blessings
"She told me that Trinity took a stab for you. At that moment... I was truly...” Ivanna's voice trembled, her eyes reddening. "And then Arthur ordered an early return. This time, he's feeling quite guilty too. After all, the people on the ship are either rich or noble."Ivanna involuntarily hugged me again.I could imagine the state she was in at that moment. After all, we had been through life and death situations together. When she was in danger, I felt the same way.I pulled her away gently. "Alright, let's go inside and eat together.”"What do you think? Of course, I'll eat here." She made a face like a rascal, and I couldn't help but laugh.She grinned, "Ah, it would be great when Lauren comes back. I'll have a place to freeload again, hopping from one place to another. I won't have to cook. It’s nice to have my best friend back after all.”I snorted, "How do you take care of yourself? It's really worrying. You're a grown person."We chatted at the doorway for a long time b
Chapter 548 Well, This is Awkward
Before going to bed, I called Atlas. I informed him that everything was stable on the Trinity's side, and I felt a bit relieved. I sighed, grateful that I could lie down peacefully in bed, all thanks to Trinity enduring suffering on my behalf.The guilt in my heart made it impossible for me to sleep. Every event replayed in my mind like a series of scenes. Finally, as morning approached, I, sporting a pair of panda eyes, hastily took a warm shower. Urged by the three old ladies, I managed to eat something before rushing to the hospital.Surprisingly, when I arrived, Trinity had just woken up. Watching the doctor busy inside, I felt anxious. However, she didn't stay awake for long and slipped back into a deep sleep about half an hour later.The doctor brought good news from the blood test results, indicating that the excessive bleeding might have inadvertently helped as there were not many toxins remaining in her body. It was a sigh of relief for all of us.Anson also arrived at the
Chapter 549 Her Condition Worsens
Perhaps there was already a familial bond between him and Trinity. Or maybe I was overly concerned with the gains and losses between Trinity and Ivanna. I couldn't think of a reason for them to coexist. In my mind, it seemed like a situation of either black or white, with no room for coexistence."Do you want the ultimate result to be coexistence?" I still didn't look at Jared, keeping my gaze on Trinity inside. I directly asked the question that had been lingering in my mind, and then I looked at him, posing a serious question, "Can you achieve that?"He stood firmly, still not looking at me but staring at Trinity inside. "I will strive for it.""But have you considered their feelings?" My guess was spot on."I will do my best to balance their relationship and make sure they both accept it," he said without hesitation.I chuckled. He was quite confident to try to control two strong-willed opposites, and I had to commend his courage for that.I remained silent because at this mom
Chapter 550 Increasing Toxin Levels
Jared had just left when an unexpected visitor arrived—Stella.She found her way to the intensive care unit and was surprised to see me standing outside. After a brief moment of hesitation, she approached. Her eyes were fixed on the situation inside the ward. "I didn't expect to find you here, Chloe.""Who did you think it would be?" I intentionally countered, "Surprised? Didn't see that coming, did you? You wanted to hurt me, but Trinity was the one who ended up here. I always manage to turn danger into safety."Stella chuckled casually, "Chloe, you are indeed fortunate in this regard. But how did you manage to offend so many people? You’re always being chased and hunted."Her words sounded light and detached, as if she were an uninvolved bystander. Yet, every time I recalled her ruthless actions, a shiver ran down my spine. I vividly remembered the eerie smile she flashed when she turned around outside my house.Her calm demeanor now made her even more formidable."Well. I wond
Chapter 551 Who Am I?
Her words held a wealth of information. It seems my hunch was indeed correct—I had known Atlas for a long time.I steadied my thoughts and warned myself not to act rashly. What if this is a timed bomb that Stella set for me?I must stay vigilant. This woman is capable of anything, and she can say anything.At least for now, her words remain unverified, whether they're true or false.I told myself to trust Atlas. I have to wait for him to return and tell me the truth.However, I couldn't deny that Stella's words echoed in my mind like a timed bomb, leaving me uneasy. If I wasn’t Chloe Hartz, then who was I?While I have speculated that I might have known Atlas in the past, he was overseas, and I was in a small town up north. There was simply no way for our paths to cross. What on earth is going on?I couldn't help but think of my parents. They've always been by my side in my memories. From the day they first saw Atlas, they didn't seem to have known him for a long time. So, whe
Chapter 552 A Con Man
Ivanna let out a smirk that made me uneasy, especially given the current situation.So, I changed the subject. "Just now, Stella went to the hospital.""Oh? What was she doing there?" Ivanna asked."She was probably there to gather information. I feel that when Jared returned just now, it was because there was news. They've been searching for that person all along! “This time, it's not just Atlas looking, but also the Huffmans and Jared. They're managing well, but facing three powerful forces is no simple task.""Yes!" Ivanna exclaimed cheerfully.Just then, my phone rang. I glanced at it. Ivanna immediately reached over to my bag on the backseat, pulled out my phone, and gasped."Oh my goodness, Chlo, it's Lauren!""Ah? Answer it quickly!" I called out, checked the surroundings, and returned to a safe spot.Ivanna had already swiped to answer and put it on speaker."Lauren, where are you? When are you coming back?" Ivanna shouted. "You've been gone for so long, and the hous
Chapter 553 A Scam
"This is a crucial project, the biggest one in Bourdamun so far. I hope to work on it together with Ms. Chloe." He looked at me, his excitement hard to contain.I could tell he was the enthusiastic type. They might have fallen for his pitch, but not me."Well, Ms. Chloe, if I secure the project, I can give you full control and let Tanum Corporation handle the construction. After all, I have great confidence in Tanum Corporation's credentials!"I smiled. "Jeremiah, why are you so confident you'll get the project? And by partnership, are you referring to the construction team? After our upgrade, Tanum Corporation won't be taking on projects like this anymore!""Oh, Ms. Chloe, do you have to be so absolute? The size of the project in Bourdamun speaks for itself. After all, it's our project. We don't let others have a share in the profits." He grinned slyly, looking like he was up to something."Besides, I'm certain I can secure the project. We can discuss the details first. Once it's
