I was nervous and glanced at Ivanna for support. Surprisingly, she met Trinity's gaze with calm composure. "Ms. Trinity, there's no need to be so aggressive. This isn't like you. I thought your demeanor would be more refined, but I overestimated you. Your behavior can only be described in one word—inferior."Ivanna's boldness took me aback. I was worried things might get out of hand.I glanced at Jared, who remained as composed as ever."So?" Trinity's tone turned icy."So, it doesn't matter who speaks. Mr. Jared seems to be in high spirits!" Ivanna addressed Jared directly for the first time, repeating herself deliberately. Then she casually added, "We won't disturb you any longer."With that, she reached out to take my arm and turned to leave.As we walked away, she tossed a parting remark to Trinity, "Ms. Trinity, broaden your horizons a bit. Don't resort to common tricks!"Suddenly, I reassessed Ivanna. She was proving to be more formidable than I had thought. I couldn't h

Atlas's handsome face was as cold as ice, and his lips pressed tightly together. His sharp eyes gleamed with intensity. He stared icily at the steward. Every word he uttered seemed laced with frost, sending a shiver through the room.Seeing me come out, he settled me on the sofa. I turned to the steward. "Who told you to deliver the message?""It was a woman, Ms. Chloe. I didn't get a clear look at her. She told me to inform you to go to the fourth-floor lounge. She also said that you should go alone." The steward's face was deathly pale, trembling as if he had seen a ghost. It was clear he was terrified.One of Atlas's aides entered, holding an evidence bag. "Sir, these are the clothes salvaged from the sea!"I quickly looked over. It was a dark gray tracksuit. I was confident. "Yes, this is the right color. A dark figure in a hooded tracksuit attacked me. That's why I couldn't see the face."I closed my eyes, trying to recall the moment. A dark figure rushed toward me, causing

I fell silent for a moment. "I can't help but notice that whenever Stella comes up, you evade it. Are you reluctant to deal with her, or do you have other plans?"I knew saying this might irritate him, but I couldn't help it. I just didn't understand why. Amidst the kidnapping, the incident with Harmony's fans, and the orchestrated chaos, all signs pointed to Stella. Yet Atlas always seemed to brush it off.He seemed to downplay the severity of the situation. His explanations left me dissatisfied.She returned to Nocturnia immediately after her last scheme failed. This time, although Atlas's attitude towards her had grown colder, there seemed to be a hint of protection.He struggled to provide an explanation, creating a palpable tension between us.Atlas gently patted me and chuckled softly, which only fueled my frustration. However, I held back from letting it escalate too far.I looked at Atlas and said, "I feel she wanted to tell me something. When we boarded the ship, her wor

The outcome was getting closer to my assumptions.Atlas looked at my face and pinched it, "Because you are somewhat between Annalise and Stella."I was a bit confused, pondered for a moment, and asked him, "Are you talking about the real Stella? What exactly is my connection with her?"Atlas glanced at me suddenly. After some contemplation, he nodded, "That's right, my clever girl.""Well..." I wanted to ask more, but Atlas interrupted."Alright, let's not ask too many questions. I've said that you need to gradually understand the reasons. Too much at once, and you’ll get confused.”He seemed like a controller, and whether to stop or go was all up to him."I've said that the most important thing between us is trust. As long as you trust me, all the questions will be solved. Remember... trust."Seeing him speak seriously and earnestly, I giggled. I snuggled into his arms, and then looked at him, asking, "Are you not going out tonight?"He looked at me, bit my lips, and shameles

Just as I stepped out of the restroom, I saw Stella entering the dining room, walking toward Atlas.It wasn't surprising; after all, on the surface, Stella was Atlas's cousin.I hesitated for a moment, then confidently returned to my seat, not avoiding her in the slightest."Ms. Stella, you’re up early." This time, I initiated the conversation, smiling contentedly.She glanced at me and returned the smile, "Yes, getting off the ship is quite exciting. It's been a long time and I’m feeling a bit fed up."Hearing her words, my heart suddenly skipped a beat. I looked at her and asked, "You had enough fun?"She seemed to sense the hidden meaning in my words. Then she cast a glance at Atlas, who was engrossed in his meal and paid her no attention.On the other side, Jared remained indifferent.Stella didn't respond to my implication and just smiled.After finishing his meal, Atlas looked at me, "Do you want anything else to eat?""No, I'm full." I looked at him, "Let's go back to
