Beyond the Divorce의 모든 챕터: 챕터 331 - 챕터 340

Grayson looked at me as if he had entertained a similar suspicion. Then, he asked, "So, who fell off the cliff? There were witnesses and physical evidence. Even Mr. Atlas saw it with his own eyes!""How could this be?" I tightened my grip on the steering wheel.It was more of a mutter to myself, but suddenly, a memory surged. It was something Atlas had said to me. I recalled him telling me, "Annalise means nothing to anyone, especially not to me!" In light of Grayson's words, Atlas's statement held a different meaning. It appeared that Atlas was keeping something from me. He had said he would reveal it once the clues connected. Coupled with Grayson's revelations, I was now thoroughly convinced that the information they had found didn't add up."What about Rory? Any leads on him?"This man held a certain allure for me. After all, he was Stella's father. Plus, I sensed a certain distance in Stella's attitude toward her parents. It wasn't just indifference but a kind of numbne

The news from ATL Empire was indeed shocking. They not only replaced Nick, but several other key positions were shuffled as well.Just then, Celine suddenly made Atlas's condition public and even released a photo of him in a coma.Reality was harsher than I expected. As soon as I received the news, I called Nick. His demeanor remained calm and gentle, not avoiding the truth."Mr. Nick, I'm sorry. Is this my fault?" I sincerely apologize to Nick. I felt a heavy weight in my heart."It relates to your situation, but the outcome was inevitable. So, you need not blame yourself." Nick didn't sound reproachful, which made me feel even more guilty."Well... How is Atlas?""There's still no sign of him waking up, but one day he will," Nick stated firmly. "No one can replace his position.""Yes... Mr. Nick, if there's any news about him, please let me know.”"Of course."I sensed he didn't have much more to say, so I reluctantly hung up. Observing the garden through the window, my hear

I knew Matthew didn’t expect me to appear so calm while telling him to get lost. It must’ve been a great insult to him since he looked so embarrassed.“Chloe, I came to talk things out with you. You can make amends or face the consequences of defying me. You can choose if this is a friendly discussion or a warning.Suddenly, someone opened my office door. Ryan entered, asking, “Who’s speaking with such authority? Tell me, where are you planning to move to?”Matthew’s lips twitched when he saw Ryan. The former regained his arrogant composure and retaliated, “I didn’t expect to see my senior from college here.”Matthew knew Ryan well, especially when Matthew pursued me in school. Ryan had taken good care of me then. Therefore, Matthew had been wary of him until I accepted Matthew as my boyfriend.Ryan glanced at Matthew and said, “You just mentioned moving, right? Where to?”Ryan confidently sat at the main seat and looked Matthew in the eyes, saying, “The difference between a man

It was survival of the fittest in the business world, and I was determined to make Liora relent. If I didn’t, it would be over for me.Conveniently, Matthew's groundbreaking ceremony had just concluded. I thought it was the right time to put my plan into action.Ryan assured me, "You can get a good night's sleep this time. I’ll consider us established in Foswood once we have the capital to be independent.”I wholeheartedly agreed with his sentiment.However, ATL Empire added to my pressure when the retested inspection reports returned. Surprisingly, they showed elevated levels of harmful substances, rendering the project non-compliant.Immediately after, ATL Empire ordered all remaining construction to halt. If we couldn’t resolve it, the project would never continue. Since we sold all the units, I would be in serious trouble if the homeowners complained.ATL Empire didn’t give me a chance to address the issue. The work stoppage was just the first step. Then, they sent an outrage

Atticus showed no surprise and nodded. “Go ahead.”I explained my purpose and then looked at him, asking, "Can you give me some advice?"Atticus didn't respond directly. Instead, he contemplated momentarily before saying, "I can't help you with this."My mind went blank, and my heart dropped. I realized I might’ve been too hopeful since I wasn’t close to Atticus. It was unrealistic for him to help me for no reason. As I was about to provide a way out for myself, Atticus continued, “However, I can offer a suggestion.”I looked at him in surprise and waited for him to continue."Do you know Pinnacle Group?" he asked.I nodded. Pinnacle Group was the country's leading company and the most renowned real estate brand. They had properties worldwide and were well-known for their quality."Go to them. Their building materials undergo rigorous selection and meet national standards. I noticed the items you used identified as non-compliant are the same ones they use. Wouldn't that be quite
