Chapter 956 Valuable Meteorite
At this time, Grayson walked in, asking, "What's up?"Grayson's men approached too, and when I saw him, I quickly straightened up and asked, "You're back? Where's Ryan?"Before I could ask any more about Ryan, Grayson suddenly strode toward me and took the stone from my hands. Astonished, he asked, "Chloe, where did you get this?"I explained, "Didn't I tell you? It's a gift from someone.”Grayson held the stone carefully, examining it closely like he was holding a precious treasure. When Lauren saw his surprised expression, she scoffed. "Do you really need to exaggerate like that?" Grayson ignored Lauren and continued to scrutinize the stone in his hands. "Who gave this to you, Chloe?"I sensed that something was strange, so I pressed, "What's wrong? I got it from Archie’s friend in Solaris.”Grayson’s eyes remained fixed on the stone.He finally looked up, asking, "Do you know what this is?"I was confused by his question and replied, "Isn't it just a stone? What's with it?
Chapter 957 A Grand Gift
Grayson smiled helplessly when he heard Lauren's words."You don't understand. Its value lies in its significant scientific research value due to its rarity. It's not just about money, of course. Its value can't be measured with that, after all." Grayson seemed well-versed in the subject as he explained it to us."The rarity of this meteorite is self-evident, and the scarcity of a meteorite determines its own value. Generally speaking, the fewer there are, the higher the value. You understand the principle of rarity equating to value, right?" he asked Lauren.Lauren nodded. "Isn't this just something that fell from the sky? So it's valuable because it's rare?"Grayson chuckled at Lauren's words, "You're being too simplistic. The value of these meteorites needs to be scientifically verified now. As far as I know, they come in many different qualities, depending on the planet they originated from and the substances they contain. There are many intricacies involved. It's very complex.

Grayson stopped in his tracks and glanced at me."Are your people still keeping an eye on Denton? I received word that he's returning to the country," I askedd."Absolutely. Rest assured. It's not just my people. Dylan’s team is watching his every move too." "And about Trinity and Stella in Yare, do you know anything about that? I got word from Trinity herself.""Yare?" Grayson repeated, furrowing his brows. "I don't know anyway about that. And she's with Stella?""That’s right. Grayson, I feel uneasy about this." I confessed my concerns to him."I'll find out more. Does Mr. Atlas know about this?""I haven't told him much yet, but I'm starting to feel worried." The whole situation weighed heavily on my mind.In truth, I didn't dare tell Atlas everything. I was afraid that if I expressed too much worry, he might hide things from me in the future."Don't worry. I'll get back to you with some updates," Grayson assured me before leaving.After they were all gone, I looked at th
Chapter 959 Welcoming the Newcomer
After finishing the call with Atlas, I glanced at the precious stone and carefully placed it in the safe in my office.I didn’t care much for money, but I couldn't just leave a priceless gem that was worth billions lying on my desk, could I? To those who didn’t know, it was just an ugly rock that clashed with my office decor. To those who did know, it might seem like I was showing off.Honestly, I wished I could return it. Accepting such a valuable gift without reason didn't sit well with me.I looked at the small glass bottle, remembering Atlas's words. I hesitated for a moment, then placed it back in my bag. One thing was certain—it wasn't an ordinary item.At noon, we all went to the second floor of the building for our working lunch.In the evening, while at work, I happened to encounter Adelaide Mcclain.It wasn't a deliberate encounter, but a 'coincidental' one.Before that, Carol had come to my office and mentioned that the girl didn’t look as good as her resume. And I
Chapter 960 Messed with Her Head
When she heard my question, Hana casually mentioned a city's name. Before I could clearly hear which city it was, she smoothly changed the topic."I'll review the drawings again before my vacation and get everything ready in advance, Chloe. That's just how design work is. You can't let your mind idle even when you're away," Hana told me. "I might be on vacation, but my brain won’t be able to stop working.”I chuckled. "I know you're dedicated. You can take a longer break this time. I'll give you a month off.""Really?" Hana seemed genuinely surprised."Yes, really. Things will get busy afterward. Take this time to rest well and prepare for what's to come," I said, packing up my things.Just then, Ivanna called. Hana quickly gestured toward the door, picked up her belongings, and left my office.I answered. "You’re awake?""Yeah. I’m thinking about what to eat." Ivanna sounded relaxed, as if nothing had happened."You’ve reconciled with Jared, and you don’t even have a thank you
Chapter 961 The Bearer of Bad News
I understood Lauren was worried about embarrassing Jared."No worries. After all, you're the eldest. Some things are hard for Ivanna to say. You're the big sister of the family, and it's only natural to speak to him about it," I told Lauren."Alright, I'll see how it goes."We walked out together, and at the elevator, we saw Adelaide. She noticed me coming out and quickly put on her standard smile. "Ms. Chloe, are you also done for the day?"I nodded, and Lauren's eyes shifted to Adelaide. She asked casually, "Is she new here?"“Mhmm,” I responded without introducing them.We reached the underground garage and got into our respective cars. I headed straight to the club Theo chose.The location of this club made it convenient for me to return to Pleca Park. I didn't rush to get out of the car. Instead, I called Atlas, and he answered promptly. "Honey!""Are you going with Jared later?" I asked directly. "I noticed that the place I'm going to is closer to Pleca Park, so let's j
Chapter 962 Something's Fishy About the Chandlers
I was puzzled and asked, "So what happened next?""I had no choice but to make do with what I could. I rang their neighbor's doorbell to ask them. However, the neighbors wouldn't give a straight answer either. They just asked who I was. “Even though I explained that I knew Beatrice, they still claimed to be unaware of their family and asked me to check with someone else."But seeing them being evasive, I knew something was amiss. Finally, I asked an older security guard in the neighborhood and got this information. But I got kicked out of the neighborhood eventually." Theo laughed awkwardly."Kicked out? Why?" I asked Theo."Why? The Chandler family reported me!" He sighed helplessly."I couldn't find out more and didn't dare approach that security guard again. I was afraid it might harm him, and it's not easy for someone his age to find a job.""How did you think of asking the guard?" Edith asked."Oh, about that. Since the neighbors couldn't help, I wandered around the yar
Chapter 963 Honeymoon Period
We had a great time chatting, but Beatrice's situation weighed heavily on me.It was always a joyful time when we were together. She always had my back and followed me everywhere. Besides Ryan, who cared for me like a big brother, Beatrice was my closest friend.Ivanna only became closer to me after we graduated and I started my business.I never thought Beatrice would end up in a mental institution. We all sighed with a sense of regret.They also brought up Matthew, since his case was about to go to trial and had received much attention recently.However, I kept silent about helping him with the lawsuit. Sometimes, it was better to keep certain things to myself.When I was about to leave with a few classmates, Atlas called me. Since they hadn't finished yet, I went straight to their place.Upon entering, I saw Ivanna cuddling with Jared.Lauren was happy to see me and said to Atlas, "Mr. Atlas, keep me in mind before you go back and cuddle with your wife."Ivanna scoffed, lau
