Chapter 646 That’s Fate
Atlas looked at me, and in his eyes, I saw a hint of sadness. "That was just the version you heard."He continued, "They gave you that story in a deliberate attempt to confuse you. That's why I've been reminding you that you need to trust me."My mind did a quick flip. He was right. The false Stella was the one who told me about Annalise the first time."The truth is, when the real Stella was sent to that orphanage, she wasn't called Stella anymore. She was given the name 'Annalise'," Atlas said with certainty."So Celine changed her name when she sent her there," I deduced."Yes, that's right. So even though we searched every orphanage, we couldn't find Stella.”"When did you find her?" I was having trouble understanding the intricacies of the situation."Perhaps it was fate. Just as I found the lost little girl, we discovered an orphanage. We went to inquire, and when Cody came back, he told me they had someone named Stella there. Overjoyed, I ran out to see her, but they woul
Chapter 647 The Stolen Identity
Atlas’s face darkened. "I think that was a trap set by Celine.""How so?" I asked, wiping my eyes. I didn’t understand"Because later, after the Cross family rescued me, I found out that once she realized I had escaped, she quickly discovered that Ian's son had also disappeared. You can imagine what happened to Ian. She could easily speculate that I was probably going to find Stella. Wherever she sent Stella, she must have planned it well. The facts proved that her approach was correct."Atlas's reasoning was convincing."After the incident, she began to search for me like a madwoman. She might not have known whether 'Annalise' was real or fake, but she was certain that I had been there." Atlas's tone left no room for doubt.I muttered to myself, "So that’s why there's a photo of Stella and 'Annalise' from that time. When we first saw the photo that Grayson found, I couldn't understand why Stella was also in that orphanage. Now it makes sense.""That photo you had him investigate
Chapter 648 How Despicable
He looked at me, full of heartache and urgency, and kissed my forehead."That spot was right next to the cliff. He pushed me with all his strength, and his car rolled down the slope and exploded. You were thrown out on a steep bend, not near the sea."After I fell, I completely lost consciousness. I didn't know where I was when I washed ashore. I woke up in a fisherman's village."They saved me. My leg was broken, and I couldn't move. I begged them to help me look for you. They searched everywhere and couldn't find you. I refused to believe it. Even if you were dead, there should have been a body." He said bitterly."I was afraid they had deceived me, so I started to search for myself despite my injured leg. I collapsed and fell unconscious, and my leg was infected after I was rescued again. The locals took me to the hospital."I looked at Atlas, silently shedding tears.He gently wiped them away. "Don't cry."I touched his leg gently, choking on my words. "What happened after t
Chapter 649 Unending Battle
After listening to Atlas, I realized that his concerns were not unfounded. Atlas was worried that Celine might harm me, so he carefully orchestrated the ruse with Harmony.Stella used Harmony to create a commotion, intending to force me out, but Atlas would never let her lead him astray. Her actions also clashed with my plans when she pretended to be me during the shopping spree at the mall. That incident disrupted their scheme, and I managed to reclaim the items they had seized.Subsequently, the imposter Stella resorted to a more sinister plan, attacking Harmony and ruining her face, hoping to frame me again. However, Atlas intervened before she could execute her plan.It seemed that Stella had been relatively quiet recently, but it was likely she was preparing a major move. She wouldn't sit idly by while I enjoyed a smooth ride.When I saw Atlas's worried expression, I asked, "On the surface, it looks Celine has stopped, but she's secretly using other people to do her dirty work
Chapter 650 Too Cunning
"According to reports from my people in the Pierce family, Celine has incurred significant losses in recent years. That's why she doesn't want to give up ATL Empire."I looked at Atlas, understanding the situation. "Because she colluded with external forces?""Yes." Atlas looked at me, smiling approvingly. "But she also understands that since the Cross family sanctioned her, ATL Empire is just an empty shell in her hands.""Oh?" My thoughts raced. "Is it because the Cross family is familiar with your father, especially since he grew up with them?”Atlas shook his head, "Not entirely. My father had already prepared for everything. This was all part of his strategic plan. After his death, the Cross family activated my father's emergency plan."We have many projects and large businesses that are not part of ATL Empire's structure. The original ones are gradually shrinking and becoming mere shell companies. The real ATL Empire has been in my hands since I was 15. She can't do anything
Chapter 651 A Sin
I pursed my lips and muttered, "You're so cunning.”He grinned, revealing a set of pearly white teeth."It’s necessary to confirm everything. I was planning to reclaim the operational rights of ATL Empire. Even if it's just a shell, it's my parent's legacy. I had to bring it back and make it flourish right under her nose. That would be the most powerful blow against her."I went to boil a pot of tea and poured a cup for Atlas.After taking a sip of tea, he pulled me back into his embrace, showing no intention of letting me go. He continued, "After that, I investigated your background and arranged for people to monitor you closely. Our airport encounter wasn't a coincidence. That's how I found out about the hardships you've been enduring."My jaw almost dropped. "The airport wasn't a chance meeting?"He chuckled. "Of course not. I intentionally got close to you. When you were injured, I took you to the hospital and conducted a thorough examination. The DNA from your blood sample
Chapter 652 My Poor Parents
My mom seemed to sense something off and anxiously asked, "Chlo, where are you? Why aren’t you home yet?"Her tone was filled with worry. I quickly looked out the window and realized it was already dusk, and the sky had dimmed.I was amazed at how quickly time had flown by. Atlas and I had spent the entire afternoon together. Yet, it seemed like there were still many unanswered questions.I composed myself and smiled into the phone, trying to sound relaxed. "Mom, I just finished a meeting at the office. Atlas happened to come and pick me up, and we'll be heading back soon.""Oh, you're still at the office? I thought something happened to you." Her tone was skeptical."Oh, come on! What could happen at the office? Don't worry, I'm fine.""That's good. Hurry back then," she said. "Sure! I'll be home soon. Bye."I ended the call hastily because I could no longer control my emotions.Atlas had been watching me the whole time. Seeing my emotions getting stirred up, he gently lif
Chapter 653 Crossing the Line
The term "parents" not only signified his respect for them but also served as a comforting gesture to the innocent Kylie, who lost her life. It embodies Atlas's broad love.This man was publicly considered aloof, authoritative, and untouchable. Yet, when it came to me, he shed all his coldness and transformed into a warm presence.Even those around me treat him with utmost reverence.I washed my face, wanting to appear vibrant and lively. Then, I approached Atlas and playfully smiled. "Let's go home!"He reached out, pulling me into a tight embrace. "Chlo, I've waited for this day for so many years. Every day, I've wanted to bring you home, to end your wandering. Regardless of the challenges, I can handle everything."Comfortably nestled in his arms, the handsome and dazzling young man was mine.At that moment, I really wanted to remember all the time we spent together.He looked at me indulgently, a hint of dominance in his words, "Only you deserve to stand by my side and witne
