All eyes in the room turned to Harmony, awaiting her response.Harmony froze, looking at Atlas’s darkened face with trembling lips. Then, her gaze became colder, as if she had regained her composure.I could see deep-seated resentment in her eyes. Harmony erupted into hysterical shouts.“No one put me up to this! These are my true feelings! Atlas, take a good look at the woman by your side. She’s fickle. That’s why her ex-husband didn’t hesitate to leave her. What do I lack compared to her?”Atlas’s lips parted. “You’re not even worthy of comparison.”“Why not?” Harmony jutted her chin forward, challenging him. “Am I not as pretty as her? Or is it because my status doesn’t measure up to hers? Aside from seducing men left and right, what else does she have? Haha, she even has a bastard child from her ex!”She seemed to have lost her mind, screaming, “I can give you everything she can, and I’ll do it better than her. You’re entangled with someone’s leftovers!”“Even if she has a h

I turned around. As the doors opened, a tall figure emerged. He was holding an enormous bouquet of vibrant red flowers.His face was handsome, with well-defined features. It was perfect. While he used to wear a cold and proud expression, today, he was all smiles. A group of attendants trailed behind him, creating a commanding presence as they approached me.This sudden turn of events dumbfounded me. It all felt surreal.He walked up to me, his thin lips curling up. “Congratulations on the successful transformation of Tanum Construction and Development! Congratulations, Ms. Chloe! Let’s embark on this brand new journey!”His eyes were deep and filled with tender affection. I was sure there was something more to this.I took the bouquet. He stood beside me and announced to the media, “I declare that as of today, ATL Empire will cooperate with Tanum Construction and Development. They will handle all development projects, including properties, of ATL Empire.“The design institute o

Rose’s eyes held none of the cloudiness often associated with age. Instead, they gleamed with sharp intelligence.As she saw us approaching, her eyes twinkled. She said to Atlas, “You’re here and fashionably late!”Atlas’s eyes were warm as he smiled. He replied, “My beloved Grandma Rose, I’m just in time. No one noticed!”I had never seen Atlas like this before. The aloof and composed Atlas had a playful side to him! It seemed his relationship with Rose ran deep.“Introduce me, won’t you?” The elderly lady’s gaze shifted to me with a discerning look.“Chlo, this is the star of today, Rose Beringer. You can call her Grandma Rose!” He introduced me with a soft voice, smiling tenderly.I stepped forward, greeting her, “Grandma Rose.”“Grandma, this is the person I’ve been waiting for!” Rose gave me a thorough once-over, and then we shook hands. She gave it a gentle squeeze before nodding. “Mmm, soft as cotton, destined for prosperity.”Her words left me perplexed. I couldn’t he

I looked toward the source of the voice and saw Arthur approaching. I was somewhat surprised and quickly went up to greet him, simultaneously avoiding any awkwardness with Liora."Mr. Arthur.""Congratulations on your recent achievements," Arthur said with a smile. I felt that he was only doing this because of Atlas. Otherwise, a figure of his status in Foswood wouldn't bother to congratulate me.I immediately replied modestly, "Thank you, Mr. Arthur.""I never expected you to be so capable. I read the article, and it’s not bad. Our city is truly in need of benchmark enterprises with far-reaching goals, and that aligns with your ambition. Building a brand is indeed not something that ordinary people dare to think about. Many businessmen are only interested in short-term gains and lack a long-term vision, so they can't become great entrepreneurs." Arthur praised me wholeheartedly.I noticed Liora's expression became colder.Amused, I decided to provoke her a little more. "You’re t

Upon hearing my reminder, she seemed to think I was trying to oppress her and instantly became furious, raising her voice several notches."Chloe, don't think that just because you rely on Atlas's connections to come here today, you feel like your worth has doubled. What are you? An outsider trying to establish yourself in Foswood? You really have some nerve. Even Matthew could easily shoo you away with a kick. Do you really think you can come and go as you please, you despicable wretch!"Liora's words were extremely cutting, but I paid them no mind. I was well aware of her character and had seen enough of her. There was no need to stoop to her level; I couldn't afford to lose my dignity here.I continued to speak softly, "I have always known how to put myself in the right place. It's true I'm an outsider, but I started my business with my own wisdom, aboveboard and honest. I would expect you to have a bit of decorum. At least, show some respect for Atticus. No matter what, we shoul
