As we stepped out of the doorway, we ran into Atlas, who hurried over. He quickly took my arm and asked, "What's going on?""Let's talk about it when we get back." I turned to Ivanna and asked in a hushed tone, "Are you okay?""I'm fine... It just really hurts!" She held her shoulder, grimacing, "He went all out. It serves him right."I saw Jared's face darken again. Seizing the moment, I gave Ivanna a gentle push. "Go on, now. Stop twisting it. Go have a proper chat."Ivanna and Jared had been in a silent conflict. It was clear that both were holding back, making this the perfect opportunity for reconciliation.Austin rushed forward to express his gratitude to Jared. After bidding farewell to Ivanna, he asked, "How are you doing? Are you injured? Go to the hospital if you need to. Don't tough it out."Austin then gave a radiant smile. "Dealing with those guys made me feel a little better!"Atlas and I drove away without paying attention to the two still standing at the door

We agreed to always depend on each other once things calmed down.I looked at Atlas, questioning, "Did she really plan so far ahead? Did she keep this girl around all this time? Who is she? Do you think she might be connected to my parents back home?"Atlas shook his head. "She may not have planned so far ahead, but this may be something she has prepared for. "You mean sending Kylie to the Avilas?" I asked, feeling a bit anxious.Atlas nodded. "After all, the connection between Rory and Lucille is an indelible mark, and Lucille's foundation is profound. There was no way she didn’t take precautions. Knowing that she has someone in her hands is her leverage. "Perhaps that's what prevented us from discovering this woman's origin. As for whether Kylie has any connection to your current parents, that can only be revealed when you recover your memories."Atlas comforted me, "But don't worry. I'll arrange for someone to investigate Kylie. She won't stir up any big waves. When the time

I suddenly understood one thing. It seemed like the wisest person was Grace. She had learned to be savvy after being deceived throughout her life."How can we let Charlie end up in his hands?" I shook my head, feeling somewhat distressed. "We'll be ruining that child's life!"I couldn't help but think of Charlie’s innocent face."Don't worry. Listen to me," Atlas said.He got up, poured a glass of water for me, and had a sip himself before continuing. "The man's parents are alive and well. The family is in decent shape, and he has a sister who’s seven years older. There was a middle brother between them, but unfortunately, he died at the age of three."I listened attentively to Atlas."Later, that man was born. So, being the only son in the family for three generations, his parents spoiled him. Over time, he developed a fearlessness because his parents would stand up for him whenever something happened.“Stirring up trouble became a common occurrence. He dropped out of school ea

I didn’t disturb Rose for too long since older folks typically went to bed early. I left her room and returned to my own. I then called Lauren since I hadn’t had the chance to visit her tonight. She told me Oliver had been to the hospital again and stayed for a long while before leaving.I asked, “What did he say?”She wasn’t enthusiastic when she replied, “I didn’t talk to him. I pretended to be asleep the whole time.”I sighed. “Maybe you should have a good talk. It’s clear Oliver still cares about you.”I cautiously advised Lauren, believing she could see the changes in Oliver. He had become more silent and reserved after his wife’s death. There were also various public opinions about their relationship.Lauren stubbornly told me, “I’ve said whatever I needed to when I returned. I don’t want to get entangled in meaningless things because I don’t have the time or energy for it. I can’t dwell on things that weigh me down.”I could tell Lauren had grown cold and distant from her

Soon, Atlas and I arrived at the warehouse area he mentioned. It was more of a concealed complex situated ten miles from Foswood’s southern mountains. The place was more extensive and organized than I had imagined. No wonder Atlas referred to it as the storage area.Although it was late at night, the place was as bright as day and resembled a tiny city. Even a Foswood native wouldn’t know about such a massive warehouse. Atlas wasn’t exaggerating when he described the place as heavily guarded.As he got out of the car, he explained, “This is the central hub for all ATL Empire goods. We distribute our products from here to various regions in Torado, making this place of utmost importance.”I understood this place’s significance. I looked around and then exclaimed, “It subverts my understanding of warehouses!”Then, I noticed small private planes and helicopters in the distance under the soft glow of streetlights. I finally realized why there were helicopters during our mission to res
