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
Chapter 715 The Terrell Family Advisor
I rushed to ATL Empire, but before I could make a call, Atlas was already waiting downstairs.Atlas instructed me to hand the car over to his assistant, and then he led me to his car. I quickly asked, "Did you meet with Mr. Anson today?""Yeah, I did," he responded. "He needed to probe around a bit before making a judgment." Atlas shared the details, saying, "But Mr. Anson also mentioned that they have a cooperative relationship with one of the forces in Bermuda. They need to investigate to confirm. If it's not them, things can proceed smoothly, and they can handle the matter.""What if it's the opposite?" I looked at him with some concern.He calmly said, "Even if it's the opposite, everyone will intensify their cooperation. It's just a matter of interest.""Intensify cooperation? Do you want to cooperate with them closely?" I looked at Atlas with a bit of worry. "You know that Jared is weakening the collaboration with the Huffman family. You can't have too close cooperation wi
Chapter 716 A Sudden Migration
Someone had mentioned Denton Shaw when I was in Bourdamun. However, he was just a student studying abroad. There seemed to be no apparent connection between him and the Terrells’ troubles.When Rose mentioned he was the family’s strategist, I knew he was a potential ticking time bomb. Although he wasn’t around, he would be pretty problematic.I also had to consider Melvern Sunny. I still needed to determine his true purpose for returning to the country. I knew it wasn’t as simple as him returning to make investments.“Grandma Rose, do you know what trouble Melvern Sunny got into back then?” I asked, thinking she might know some secrets.“The Sunnys have kept it under the rug. I’m afraid not many will know about it. It’s all just speculation when the family suddenly migrated.”I felt a little disappointed to hear that. Rose noticed it and asked, “Why do you ask?”“I always suspected their sudden migration had something to do with Mevern,” I answered.“It happened so suddenly. The
Chapter 717 Distress in the Basement
It was past the usual working hours, so there wasn’t a soul in sight in the basement. Carol had left early today and reminded me to head back sooner. However, I lost track of time because I was engrossed in my work.As I traversed the basement, I heard hurried footsteps behind me before feeling a rush of wind. I turned and instinctively dodged, but I took a hit on my shoulder. It caused me to grunt in pain.Before I could realize what had happened, another blow struck me. This time, I saw what hit me. It was a wooden bat. I sidestepped and shouted, “Who are you?!”I noticed the person wearing black sportswear with a hood and mask to cover their features. I couldn’t even make out what gender the person was. However, the person’s slender figure hinted at them being a woman.“What the hell do you want?!” I demanded, retreating while watching the assailant. Suddenly, two more masked individuals with wooden bats appeared behind her.I knew they were targeting me and had prepared for th
