"But our accounts need to be sorted!" Atlas's face displayed an undeniable determination.The others immediately showed signs of retreat, their faces filled with fear and resignation.Everyone present knew how ruthless Atlas could be. Even if they didn't, they were witnessing it firsthand today.Although the atmosphere in the hall seemed less tense now, everyone feared what Atlas would do next.Every glance from him sent a chill down their spines, and they all felt a desire to flee. However, with the current situation, none of them could leave.This meant that as long as they stayed here, there was always the risk of being targeted by this tyrant. After all, all of them had been too eager for success in the business world.They couldn't help but resent today's instigator, Celine. Celine orchestrated this for their amusement, but now it felt like they had walked into a trap of their own making.Each of them secretly vowed that if they made it out of there, they would turn over a

My heart raced as I rushed forward, my main concern being Uncle Kenny's safety.In the next instant, I witnessed a sudden burst of blood from Kenzie's wrist. She instinctively let go of Uncle Kenny, dropping the gun, and clutched her injured wrist. With a sinister smile, she quickly fled into a waiting car, which sped away with an unusual engine sound.Outside, we stood frozen in disbelief at what had just unfolded.I held Atlas tightly around his waist, seeking comfort."Don't be afraid," he assured me.It dawned on me that Kenzie had been shot in the wrist, likely with a silencer.The hall fell into a chilling silence.Atlas and I quickly made our way to the door, where someone was already helping Uncle Kenny up."Uncle Kenny, are you alright?" I asked anxiously, checking his wound.Tears streamed down Uncle Kenny's face as he looked up at Atlas. "Mr. Atlas, you shouldn't have let that evil woman go."Atlas grasped his hand firmly, whispering, "She still has value to us. Sh

"Once Dylan came in, he disappeared," Atlas said with a casual smile."He knows Dylan?""Yes, and he's had a confrontation with him. Among these people, he's only familiar with Dylan. I think he might have thought nobody here recognized him," Atlas speculated."But for now, we can't move against him. Since he's so close to Celine, it indicates that there's some kind of conspiracy between them, with a definite purpose behind it," I said, feeling a bit uneasy upon hearing Atlas's explanation.If he was Navi's strategist and showed up at Celine's mansion after Navi's death, there must be something fishy going on."It seems this guy is really something." I couldn't help but comment."We haven't confirmed anything yet. But when I saw him in the hall, I knew the imposter still had some value," Atlas assured me confidently. “So I decided to reclaim the Pierce mansion today, which caught them off guard.""Honey, you're so brave and decisive!" I praised him generously. "Especially when y

I hadn't come down from the excitement of such a big event, so there was no way I could fall asleep.The scenes that had just happened in the Pierce mansion played out in my mind like a movie.I didn't know if those keys were what we had been looking for.I really couldn't wait to find out, but that would have to wait until morning.While I was thinking about that, my phone rang. It was Trinity.I hesitated for a moment. Just thinking of her made me automatically think of the Avila family.I unlocked my phone. "Hey, Trinity.""Are you in Nocturnia, Chloe?" she asked."Yeah. I've been here for a few days. I received sudden news that Grandpa was critically ill, so I rushed here without saying goodbye to you.""How's the situation? Is everything okay?" she asked."It’s fine. It was a false alarm," I complained.As I said that, even I was surprised. A thought flashed through my mind. Who was the mastermind behind this false alarm?Was it Grandpa or Celine? Why did I suddenly fe

My attention was drawn to a box on the coffee table. It was an open jewelry box containing the jade jewelry set I had seen Adeline wearing at the Pierce mansion yesterday.Atlas noticed me coming downstairs and pulled me to his side. When I sat down, he gently said, "You’re awake."I glanced at Tristan, who was sipping black coffee. "You're here early. Couldn't sleep last night?""Yeah. Got a lot on my mind," Tristan replied, looking tired.Atlas pointed at the jewelry set and said to me, "Keep this safe. It belonged to my grandmother."I was surprised. No wonder Atlas's demeanor had changed when he saw Adeline yesterday.So, that was the reason.Adeline was audacious indeed. She had boldly worn his grandmother’s jewelry in front of him, openly provoking him. No wonder Atlas couldn't stand it.Atlas's voice was cold as he continued, "This jewelry set is a priceless family heirloom of the Cross family. When my grandmother married my grandfather, the Cross family gave it to her a
