Chapter 707 The Huffman Family is Nothing
Liora was visibly shaken, and all eyes turned toward the source of the commanding voice. It was none other than Atlas. He walked into the crowd with his dominating presence. His intense gaze was fixed on me as he approached and pulled me into his embrace.I noticed that Madison turned even paler, and she instinctively took a step back."You’re Madison, aren’t you? It seems that the Ballard family's real estate business is thriving." Atlas's eyes, sharp and piercing, focused on Madison. His words were laden with meaning.Suddenly, there was a commotion in the crowd. An elderly man pushed through, walked up to Atlas and said with a smile, "You're a great man, Mr. Atlas. Don't lower yourself to her level. She... she's just talking nonsense.""You feel like you’re on top of the world, huh, Mr. Gary? How about you check your taxes? I heard that’s under someone else’s control, isn't it?” Atlas's chiseled and stern face turned icy, which caused the atmosphere to plummet."No... Mr. Atlas
Chapter 708 Infuriating Trinity
I watched coldly as Trinity was shrouded in an eerie aura. She looked nothing like the once delicate and frail figure in the hospital bed.As the crisp sound of the slap echoed through the room, Vicky collapsed to the ground, and blood streamed from the corner of her mouth. She clutched her swollen face, retreating in fear."What about the Huffman family?" Trinity bent down and addressed the terrified Vicky.Then, she swiftly turned to look at Liora. "Tell me, what does the Huffman family mean to you?"There was a mysterious expression on her face. "You're really quite full of yourself. You dared disrespect even the Huffman family, huh?”Liora's eyes darted around. She clearly felt embarrassed. When she glanced at me, protected in Atlas's arms, she knew the current situation was beyond her control.She lowered her head, addressing Trinity differentially, "She... She's still young and doesn't understand many things. Please forgive her ignorance, Trinity." She took a step back, vis
Chapter 709 Plan B
Trinity laughed sinisterly, then said, "I'll wait and see. Do you still want to take advantage of me?”Suddenly, Liora shouted, "You're ruthless, Stella!""You unloyal bitch!" Stella gritted her teeth.I suddenly felt that something interesting was going on here. It seemed Trinity had planted a landmine, and Liora and Stella had completely fallen out with each other.Trinity looked at Liora's expression with a meaningful smile. "Think about what you've done. This is just the beginning. Good luck to you!"With that, Trinity put away her audacious smile, looked at Atlas, and said, "Sorry, Mr. Atlas. I’ve interrupted you."Atlas glanced at her and did not respond. Instead, he lowered his gaze to look at me and said gently, "Are you tired? Let's go back.""Sure." I smiled calmly, looking at his handsome face.“Please wait, Mr. Atlas. Please forgive my daughter for her offense. I'm sure you can, since you're a great person." Gary pleaded fearfully.Atlas glanced at Gary, and with a
Chapter 710 The Wonder of Genetics
He continued, “They must have noticed the moment we caught Jarvis, so we were actually one step behind."I finally understood what he had planned. He had been doubly prepared, fearing that if they missed their target, their next step would be compromised. It wasn't about excluding the Huffman family."We need to stick to our principles when dealing with the Huffman family. It's not about exclusion." He tightened his arm around me and gently stroked my back. "I know I let you down.""Don't blame yourself. Maybe my father's ordeal just isn’t over yet," I comforted Atlas. "I know you're more anxious about this than I am.""I've already arranged for a meeting with the patriarch of the Huffman family. Rest assured, I won't give up any leads. But we need to plan things carefully before we find him. We can't waste any opportunities.""Do you think he's in danger?" I asked with concern."No. Based on the current situation, they must have other plans. He should still be there. The reason
Chapter 711 Cryptic Conversations
I smiled and declined, "No, I've got things to attend to. I'm in a bit of a rush."I didn't have time to engage in a battle with her. Many people were waiting for me back home, and she was not worth my time. I also don't see the need to have a conversation with her.It was best to keep words brief.She smirked mysteriously. "Do you really not want to know why Liora embarrassed herself at the party?"I looked at her indifferently and replied, "I'm not interested. Embarrassment is just inevitable when you have a devious mind."She always played these games with me. It was not my cup of tea.Stella did not want to linger once she realized I was not buying her story. With a graceful smile, she said, "What your eyes see may not be the truth. You need to feel things slowly, Chlo. Be patient."Sure enough, she had some hidden agenda.I remained calm, giving her a casual glance. "Alright. I've got all the patience in the world. Let's go!"With that, I grabbed Myra and walked toward
Chapter 712 Is It Too Much?
I rescued this child. If it weren't for me catching him that day, such a fragile little thing might not have survived.It seems my intervention was worth it, even though it almost cost me an arm. We had a joyful and fulfilling day, and even Rose played with the kids wholeheartedly.By the time Atlas returned, it was already dinner time. Charlie, looking at Atlas, seemed enchanted. His eyes didn't blink, and suddenly, he grinned.Atlas was kind. As he reached out to Charlie, I thought he might be shy or unwilling to be held. Surprisingly, the child extended his tiny hand to him. When Atlas took him, Charlie stared at Atlas up close for quite a while, and from his mouth came, "Mommy."Everyone burst into laughter.Looking at Atlas's dignified face, all smiles, I thought he would make a great dad.Because he was so gentle with an unrelated child, I wondered how he would be with our own child. The thought made my face blush.Rose saw my expression and laughed heartily. "Chlo, whil
Chapter 713 No Communication
Ryan immediately stopped me. "Forget it, I just need a two-day sleep break. 24 hours will do. I just want to sleep peacefully. There's still a lot to deal with afterward, and I don't have time to return to Bibury. Let's talk about it around the New Year!"I quickly opposed, "Hold on, during the New Year, everyone's coming to Foswood without a doubt. I'll handle things from here. You must take a break."He tried to argue further, but Eleanor and Benjamin convinced him, and he didn't resist anymore.I don't know why, but I felt uneasy and wanted to talk to him.After the dispersal, I insisted on personally taking him back. He had indeed had quite a bit to drink today.I always remember how Ryan carried me home without my knowing, and during the holidays, we chatted for hours outside. We talked about the promise he made not to leave the company.Now, he was carrying the weight of Tanum for me, but I couldn't give him what he wanted.It took a long time for the car to pull out. I was
Chapter 714 Blackmail
I couldn't help but sigh. "You're like my big brother, spoiling me to the point where I can ignore everything about the company. I can just push all the responsibility onto you. “Honestly, if I were running this company alone, who knows what state it would be in? It'll probably be bankrupt for the 80th time!"I half-playfully said, "With you, everything is different. I can just kick back and relax, leaving everything to you. But you must not forget our agreement. You can't leave the company."He gave me an indulgent glance and muttered, "You're blackmailing me!" I smirked triumphantly. At this moment, I felt like a child."Alright then." I asked him, "When have I ever reneged on what I promised you?""When have you ever fulfilled what you promised me?" He countered, looking at me."Okay, okay!" I admitted in a rascal manner, "I may not be the best, and you—""I indulged you!" He didn't look at me, sighed wearily, and said, "Alright, I'll go back to Bibury. I'll bring Joyce wi
