A terrifying scream jolted me awake. I sat up, and a comforting arm wrapped around me. "Chlo, don't be afraid..."I gasped for air and stared at the refined features before me. Still shaken, I looked at him and murmured, "Atlas, a car hit us, and I flew out of the car window..."His eyes were fixed on me. "Chlo, did you remember something?"I was unsure how to respond, considering it was just a dream."Don't be scared. It's all over now. Look!" Atlas reassured me tenderly.I scanned the surroundings and suddenly remembered Lauren. I looked down at the bed, and a sudden realization hit me. "Lauren… Where is she?"Atlas patted my back and softly whispered, "They're still resuscitating her."My whole body stiffened. "Resuscitation?"I quickly pushed Atlas away. "I need to see her. Why do they need to resuscitate her? Is she seriously injured? She saved me..."My voice choked as tears welled up. "Take me there. I need to wait for her. Nothing can happen to her!"Seeing my distr

Then, I leaned back and smiled at her, scrutinizing her expression. She paled for a moment but quickly returned to normal. Still smiling, she reminded me, "Be careful on the road."That was audacious of her! However, just this subtle change was enough for me to understand. I calmly replied, "Thanks. I'll take your words to heart. I'm just like a cat, after all."Then, I got into the car and told the driver, "Take me back to the office."Since I got injured, Atlas didn't allow me to drive independently and assigned a driver for me.I dialed Grayson, "Check why Liora came to the hospital."Before I could hang up, another call came in from Trinity. "Where are you?""On my way back to the office.""Is it urgent?""Yeah, I have some things to do." I didn't hide anything, and she knew about my injury. "Do you need anything?"“Call me back when you’re done," she said, then hung up.Back at the office, I called Adrian and explained Ardora's situation in detail. After pondering for

Trinity’s response left me bewildered. I looked at her suspiciously. "About... me?""Yes." Her deep gaze scrutinized me."What's going on?" From her expression, I could tell that this news about me carried some weight.She withdrew her gaze, not answering my question, but seemed lost in thought."What's happening? Why is it so difficult to say?" I looked at Trinity with confusion. Her expression grew somewhat heavy."It's not that it's difficult to explain. It's just that this… is a bit peculiar." She seemed conflicted, and it was the first time I had seen Trinity hesitate so much."Have you not considered whether you want to tell me or not before calling me here?" "That's not the case." Trinity gave me a sidelong glance. "We were discussing a business deal when we stumbled upon this. Take a look." Trinity finished speaking and hesitantly handed me her phone. "Look closely!"I quickly took the phone, eager to see the screen.It was a high-definition photo capturing a luxuri

I entered the police station and explained the situation to the officer. He then led me to a room where I saw a few people.Ivanna sat with a striking young man with a gloomy expression. He was probably their company’s newbie. Ivanna, being protective, didn’t involve the company to avoid implicating the new guy. After all, she always went all out for those she believed in.Meanwhile, an arrogant-looking man sat opposite them.A girl stared at the young man and threatened, “Do you think this is over? You can’t leave before giving me a clear answer. Imagine what will happen to you if I upload the video.”She then turned to me maliciously. “Get out! I’m still talking.”I was shocked as I examined the girl. Judging by her expensive attire and the bag on the table, she was from a wealthy family. I knew her bag was extravagant, even if I wasn’t familiar with brand names.The girl’s behavior suggested she wasn’t established but someone who had recently struck gold.I casually glanced a

The middle-aged officer hinted that we were bullying Callie, making the father-daughter duo feel more justified. It was no wonder she was so defiant, even in a police station. It seemed she had a powerful supporter.The middle-aged officer didn’t greet the duo. Instead, he maintained an upright demeanor. However, anyone could sense that his words were off.Callie’s dad pointed at us accusingly, saying, “No one has ever challenged the Barkers. You must’ve lost your mind. It’s an honor that Callie chose to date you, young man. Still, you dared to lay your hands on her?”Frank Barker stormed over and shoved me aside. I was unprepared and couldn’t keep my balance with a casted arm. I stumbled backward and was about to fall, and Ivanna rushed to grab me, but it was too late.I closed my eyes and protected my left arm to brace for impact. Suddenly, I landed in someone’s arms. The person then gently lifted and stabilized me. I was terrified as I turned to look at who had caught me. Surpri
