Chapter 859 Money Talks, People Walk
The private room regained its tranquility, and as I looked at Atlas, I suddenly burst into laughter.I leaned in toward his face curiously with a mischievous expression. "Seems like your looks are getting you into trouble everywhere. Fangirls are chasing after you all over the place."He looked at me seriously. "Don't you feel threatened? How are you still so relaxed? Have you lost your mind, Chlo?"I squinted my eyes, carefully scrutinizing him, then said a little irritably, "I've gotten used to being at odds with women all over the world. Why should I feel threatened? I’m sure I’ll be besieged by your fangirls sooner or later."He suddenly pulled me into his embrace. "I’ll see who dares make an enemy of my woman. They must have a death wish."I laughed, falling into his embrace as all my gloominess disappeared. Atlas kissed me passionately and eagerly.After a long time, he said, "Stop being so down. It's better to solve problems with a smile. I'll try to contact Jared as soon
Chapter 860 She's Just Bait
When she heard my question, Myra fell silent for a moment. I could tell that she must be feeling a little sad.After a brief pause, she sighed. "Well... you're right. But still, he has family. He's a treasure, and no matter how good he is with me, it's not the same as living with his own family. Blood is thicker than water, after all." I could hear the helplessness in her voice. "That's right. Talk about it with Johnson and consider having a second child soon maybe," I said softly, "Don't worry; your burden will only get lighter, and you’ll do well with Johnson in the future."I intentionally hinted at something with my words. Since Johnson had turned over a new leaf and passed the test of time, I believed he was someone worth trusting. It was clear that he could handle things on his own, especially after Matthew's incident. He had been Matthew's right hand, but he was no longer as important after Melanie joined the company.I had plans for his future.I was confident that Myra c
Chapter 861 The Art of Making Money
I boldly voiced my speculation. "Don't tell me you guys orchestrated Melanie's escape?"Atlas immediately shook his head. "No, but we did leverage the relationship between Liora and Felix, that's for sure."I stared at Atlas, dumbfounded. He was overly modest if this was not their deal."How did you pull it off?" I asked, incredulous, while munching on food.A hint of tenderness glinted in Atlas's eyes as he smiled."I had Liora and Felix's relationship thoroughly investigated by Grayson long ago. It wasn't part of our arrangement, but we used their connection."Suddenly, I remembered Grayson mentioning it to me. "Grayson told me that he had checked in on Felix and Liora. Was it because of Melanie's confession? I said I'd have a good chat with Grayson tonight.""I had investigated Melanie's confession because Liora always acted like she had insider information. I looked into it, and sure enough, information came from inside.""You noticed Liora's behavior back then?" I was tr
Chapter 862 Pull a Fast One
I gazed at Atlas's handsome profile, feeling like I was falling in love all over again."I finally understand why Liora has been keeping a low profile lately." I smiled contentedly."Yeah, because she's lost her confidence. After Melvern cut off the funding, Liora's plans took a major hit. She feels the crisis and wants to liquidate her remaining assets as quickly as possible. What else does she have left?" Atlas chuckled, his smile charming."She only has Ardora left.""Exactly! She intended to hand Ardora over to Melvern, but he refused. However, Melvern did release his shares, all because Liora threatened him. If he didn't comply, she would attract more funds and dilute his ownership.""Liora completely manipulated Matthew and Melanie. They walked right into this mess themselves," I said."Once Matthew got caught in Liora's trap, he lost all autonomy. That's why he handed over Muborough to Melanie to manage. Melanie was the one acting out and disrupting their peaceful lives. S
Chapter 863 He Has Never a Good Person
"Do you think... Liora's son is Felix's?"I stared at Atlas, waiting for his response.Atlas immediately extended his hand toward me. I quickly stood up and nestled into his arms. I really wanted to know who Liora's child belonged to."She was married to Atticus back then, and Atticus only found out later," I shared with Atlas. "This is something that Atticus told me and Arnold has also mentioned. I think Atticus couldn't possibly not know who the child belongs to.""This hasn't been confirmed, but Atticus's behavior makes it suspicious," Atlas said, looking at me in his arms."Atticus's behavior? What do you mean?" I asked."Atticus has always been clear-headed. He wouldn't overlook this, but it still needs to be confirmed," Atlas replied vaguely. "Because he has consistently supported you in dealing with Liora, and this is undoubtedly part of his manipulation.""I already know that. He's never been a good person," I said noncommittally.He gave me a gentle smile, kissed me, a
Chapter 864 A Horrifying Moment
A sudden force knocked the phone out of my hand, and I tumbled down with no chance of stabilizing myself. An instinctive scream escaped my lips, and I reached forward with both hands to try to keep my balance.In this terrifying moment, I saw another dark figure emerge from beneath the steps, quickly catching me as I descended. The momentum caused us to stumble involuntarily.Once stabilized, I saw that the person who caught me was Dylan.Still in shock, I glared at the steps above, only to find Liora standing there. Her expression was quite complex, her mouth hanging open in a ridiculous manner.There was astonishment on her face, and she gritted her teeth. Obviously, I hadn't fallen down as she had hoped, leaving her infuriated.At that moment, another unexpected event occurred.Seeing me glare at her, Liora tried to descend the steps to get to me. Atlas, however, approached her suddenly. With a powerful kick, he sent Liora tumbling down the steps.Her body flew out like a rag
Chapter 865 Unaware
Sitting in the car, I still had some lingering fear for Liora and me.Sitting in the passenger seat, I sincerely thanked Dylan, "Thank you, Dylan! I would’ve had a nasty fall today if it weren't for you."Dylan softly replied, "You're welcome. It's what I should do."I looked at Dylan incredulously and asked, "How did you know she would push me? I had no idea she was behind me."Dylan immediately explained, "When I brought the car over, I saw her turn around and rush toward you from behind. Her footsteps were getting faster, and I had a premonition that she would make a move. Fortunately, I judged correctly and managed to catch you in time.""I didn't even sense her coming from behind!" I exclaimed in amazement."She didn't come directly from behind you. In fact, you passed each other closely," Dylan clarified.I took a deep breath, suppressing my fear."It seems like she never expected you to be with Mr. Atlas," Dylan continued to explain. "She approached from the outside, and
Chapter 866 The Pierce Family Gets the News
When I heard Atlas's words, I abruptly turned to look at him. He quickly adjusted my head and continued to blow-dry my hair."That’s right!" Atlas answered confidently, leaving me a little puzzled.With a hint of unease, I asked him, "How did your grandfather find out about our marriage?""I’m sure he has some people working for him. It wouldn’t have been that hard to dig up this information," Atlas replied simply.It seemed that the old man from the Pierce family wasn't completely confined to their ancestral home. He still had some control over business outside the home too."So does that mean Celine knows about this too?" I said. "I didn’t expect your grandfather to make the first move. I thought Celine would be the one to take action."Atlas's fingers combed through my long hair as he blew it dry meticulously. It was a pleasant sensation."It doesn't matter who knew first, especially for me. The so-called Pierce family members currently have no say over my life and certainly
