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

Lauren frowned, then suddenly clapped her hands. "I remember now! If I'm not mistaken, when he was driving for Wesley, he had some issues and seemed to have been in trouble."I immediately questioned Lauren, "Trouble?""Yes, and he even scrapped cars in the city. The case was quite sensational then, but it eventually faded away. If you hadn't mentioned him, I would’ve forgotten. But I remember his name very clearly. It's Nicholas Mcclain," Lauren affirmed.Then she looked at me and said, "So, what's the matter? Are you saying that girl is his niece? Can you believe people still pull strings to get into a company? Trying to use connections to walk in through the back door."Lauren wore a disdainful expression. "No wonder when I saw her, you didn't even respond when I asked.""I don't like this kind of thing. When Nicholas came, he kept mentioning Arthur, so I had to show him some respect. Besides, it's not a big deal for someone to join the company," I explained.Not many people

I quickly said to him, "Don't look at me like that. I'm being serious."Atlas smirked. "Well, that depends on your performance!"I immediately straightened up, looking at him. "Have you gone bad now?"As I spoke, the car arrived at the entrance of our home. Atlas exited the car, picked me up, and carried me into the house.But to our surprise, as soon as we entered the living room, we heard the excited screams of the kids. He quickly put me down.I couldn't help but find it amusing that he looked a little embarrassed. He gestured to me to be quiet.Then, he took my hand and walked into the living room.To our astonishment, everyone was there. Ava rushed over enthusiastically when she saw us. "Didn't you say you wouldn't be back? Why are you here? Did you miss us?"Atlas raised an eyebrow and said, "It was too quiet over there.""Of course! That’s why you should come home every day," She pouted.Ava held Atlas's hand. "Daddy, I messed up some crafts, can you help me?""Sure

We spent an excruciatingly long time waiting for the verdict. Atlas kept holding my hand, radiating endless warmth.We exchanged knowing smiles, his composure infecting me.The others in the courtroom whispered as we waited for the verdict, but the consensus leaned towards acquittal.Finally, the judge and his team returned to the bench, silencing the room below.The final verdict was announced. Matthew was acquitted on the spot.Once the judge made the announcement, Matthew slumped into the chair behind him, hands covering his face.Johnson rushed over, and they spontaneously embraced.Matthew turned to look back at me. His face was pallid and his eyes still showed traces of confusion. I smiled effortlessly, and he grinned back. Then, he thanked Adrian and others.Atlas, my entourage, and I rose together and headed out.Glancing back, I saw that Liora and Melvern’s seats were empty.Everything was settled.We passed through the thick crowd outside the courthouse, heading ba

I chuckled and said to Grayson, "Looks like you've settled in well. Your attitude and the way you handle people make it seem like they're your family. Did you forget you're just an outsider here?"Grayson and Carol both blushed at my comment, displaying an unexpected level of understanding between them.But Grayson quickly covered it up. "I wouldn't dare treat your people as my own. Haha, please forgive me, Ms. Carol. I just found out this coffee is freshly ground, and it’s exquisite.""Carol doesn't show this courtesy to just anyone, you know," I remarked, making up an excuse.Carol immediately shot me a glance, reacting quickly. "It's because you're one of Ms. Chloe's most trusted men. How could I dare be disrespectful?"Grayson quickly begged for mercy. "I won't dare boss your people around next time.""I won't make coffee for you," I said disdainfully. I returned to the main topic, asking, "Do you think he can hold his ground?"After taking a big sip of coffee and rubbing hi
