Chapter 783 The Mystery of Foswood
Honestly, I was sweating bullets for Ivanna. If the Huffman family wanted to crush her, all they had to do was lift a finger.Anson was undoubtedly shrewd. He asked me, "Is she the girl that caught Jared's attention?"I didn't know how to answer the old man for a moment. However, Rose chimed in, "Anson, this girl is quite suitable for Jared. Even more so than Trinity."Anson's face darkened, his eyes fixed on Ivanna, the emotions within them murky and unclear.I pondered momentarily, thinking I needed to do something for Ivanna."Anson, the matters of the heart can't be forced. Trinity might need someone more suitable for her." I followed his gaze and looked at Ivanna.Ivanna was chatting with Lauren, occasionally laughing and smiling, seemingly oblivious to the glances from our direction.Not far away, Jared and Dylan were conversing, but I felt he was perceptive. When I looked over, he had already noticed my gaze.Anson repeated my words with displeasure, "Suitable? Trinity li
Chapter 784 Blessed
The next day, the city of Foswood was buzzing with excitement, everyone speculating on who got married yesterday.The fireworks that lit up the entire night ignited everyone's curiosity.What I had been worried about, the scene when Atlas picked me up after work, seemed inevitable now.However, the trending topics online were filled with dazzling neon lights, blessings, and pictures of the fireworks that painted half the sky. The rest was just various speculations and rumors.However, no one could guess it. Some even went to the city county's office to investigate the information, but all efforts were in vain.This became an unsolvable puzzle, a mystery that no one could unravel.It was said that on this day, everywhere in Foswood, people were asking one question, "Hey! Do you know who got married yesterday?"I couldn't help but laugh and praise Atlas, "Well done!"He grinned, pressing against me, "Thanks for the compliment, my wife!"The next moment, he looked sad, "Sorry, it
Chapter 785 Trinity Is Missing
The news hit me hard, and Atlas immediately called Jared to confirm the information.Jared decisively affirmed the news, stating that Trinity was supposed to have returned to the country. However, when it was time for her to go to the airport as planned, she was discovered missing from her room. After a casual search yielded no results, they sensed something was wrong and officially declared her missing.It had been over 10 hours.My heart skipped a beat, and I looked at Atlas in a panic. "What should we do?"Atlas didn't immediately answer my question. After contemplating, he made a call, issuing tasks to the other side.Then he said, "I've contacted our headquarters in the Jitador to investigate the situation. Concluding the current uncertain circumstances wouldn't be wise."I had never encountered such a situation before and couldn't help feeling nervous, especially since Trinity was in Jitador.After all, due to my past, there had been friction between the Huffman family a
Chapter 786 Bring Her Back
During this uncontrollable situation, Jared was the Huffman family's pillar.Anson was getting old. He might have once dominated the scene, but now he had to admit that he was no longer in his prime.However, entrusting a big chunk of the Huffman family affairs to Trinity might be a strain on her.Trinity was still a woman, no matter how strong she was. Not just anyone could handle the Huffman family business. There were many risks even within her own sphere of influence. That was something Anson was well aware of."Jared…”Anson stared at Jared for some time while the latter looked solemnly back at him. “Mr. Anson.”I thought he had something to discuss with Jared in private, so I glanced at Atlas and quickly suggested, "Maybe we should step away."But as soon as I said that, Anson raised his hand. "There’s no need for that. You're not outsiders."I stopped in my tracks and returned to my spot.He thought for a moment, but only said a few words to Jared. "Bring her back."My
Chapter 787 That’s A Different Story
I might have sounded nonchalant, but I knew Anson would understand.He glanced at me. "Her fate? You’re right. She’s been like a boy ever since she was a child. She would mingle with them and endure all kinds of hardship without complaining. I never spoiled her. After all, she was destined to shoulder the great responsibility that is the Huffman family."Anson looked up and gazed blankly at the tree in the courtyard.He looked desolate. Maybe he really did think of me as his family.“I thought it might have been dangerous for her to do all that, but she’s been by my side handling the business since she was fifteen. She’s faced danger several times, but she has never flinched, and she’s only become more resolute."I involuntarily recalled the first time I saw Trinity. She had entered my line of sight with Jared, emanating a fierce aura. Even her gaze had been cold and ruthless.But fate was fickle, and I had discovered another side of her. She was innocent and gentle, just like a
Chapter 788 The History of the Two Families
Anson chuckled when I asked my question. He stood under a gazebo in a garden and gestured for me to sit. "Sit down. It's cooler here."Then he took a seat inside the gazebo, and I joined him.I couldn't help but wonder what he was worrying about. Maybe I could help distract him."The Huffman and Attwood families have always been close. The Attwood family started in the east of the city, and we, the Huffman family, started in the north. We were involved in similar businesses, so conflict was inevitable. However, the two families reached an agreement so they could survive. They divided Foswood into the east and west regions, with the Huffman family in the west and the Attwood family in the east. That way, we would govern our own territories, mutually complementing each other and avoiding interference.“This arrangement lasted for a while, but when the businesses became more established, the division was no longer logical, and conflict arose again. Then, the two families rewrote the a
Chapter 789 Something Isn’t Right
I could sense Ivanna's frustration as she realized that Jared had left in a hurry without explaining anything to her."He left in a rush. I'll explain later. I should be in Bourdamun by tomorrow morning," I informed her.I quickly hung up and returned to Anson's side.He looked at me and said, "Go ahead and attend to your business."I smiled and sat next to him again. "I should spend more time with you since Trinity’s not around. I would have visited sooner if I hadn’t been so busy."We continued chatting until Atlas returned. After a brief conversation with Anson, we left.In the car, Atlas instructed the driver, "Head straight to Bourdamun."I wasn't surprised by his decision. The car quickly left the northern suburbs and entered the ring road. The afternoon of seemingly aimless chat with Anson had left me feeling strange.Atlas took my hand. He seemed concerned. He asked, "Are you hungry? We can grab something to eat when we reach Bourdamun."I replied, "Sure."Noticing my d
Chapter 790 The Dangerous Person
That inadvertent glance sent shivers down my spine and made the hairs on my neck stand up. I stood still and tried not to show any reaction, but my heart was pounding intensely, and a sense of panic crept in. I made a conscious effort to stay composed.On the fifteenth floor, the man squeezed out from behind me and walked out of the elevator. His tall, slender figure gradually disappeared as the elevator doors closed, and I never saw his face.My room was on the twenty-third floor. When the elevator reached my floor, there were only a few people left inside. I stepped out, followed by the hotel staff. He escorted me to my room and turned to leave. I quickly closed the door behind him.I urgently called Atlas and asked him to come to my room.We had kept the news of our marriage confidential, so Atlas had been assigned to another room on the top floor.He quickly appeared at my door. I pulled him inside and looked at him nervously. I quietly told him, "Atlas, I saw someone from the
