Once he hung up, I lamented, "I can't believe I forgot such an important matter."He walked away from the desk, sat me on the sofa, and held me. "The children's matters are the most important."I could see that there was a hint of jealousy in his words."Of course, I know the children are the most important. Do you think I helped Matthew because I felt sorry for him?"Upon hearing my words, Atlas smiled."But after what happened with Ava, I won't go easy on Liora anymore," I said somewhat to myself. "She's despicable to hurt the girls. She crossed a line there.”Atlas raised an eyebrow slightly and said, "Then let's repay her in kind."I was puzzled and asked, "What do you mean?""I meant it literally," he said casually.I quickly added, "I won't stoop to her level.""There are a million methods to deal with her. There's always one that will hurt her the most, especially the kind she can't bear to face," Atlas said casually. "The evidence from the online posts has been verifi

This was genuinely ironic. Matthew's indulgence toward Melanie would leave him homeless. He wouldn't have ended up in this situation if he had a trace of reason.Adrian leaned back in his chair indifferently. "This is the best outcome under the circumstances, assuming we can obtain the evidence I mentioned and turn the tide. Otherwise, these major projects can make him rot in jail.""I'll do my best to find a way, and I hope you will do everything in your power to maintain your undefeated record. As for the rest, we can only leave it to fate. There's little more I can do," I sighed."Ms. Chloe, you're the most charming woman I've ever met. What you've achieved in this matter truly impresses me. It's one of the reasons I'm willing to cooperate with you." Adrian praised me."I'm doing this for Grace. Since I've promised her, I can't go back on my word. Besides, he didn’t know what Melanie was doing and was framed. I couldn’t just do nothing about it."Oh, by the way, let me share so

These astonishing reports left the masses infuriated, sparking widespread outrage among the people of Foswood. In a collective effort, the public exposed numerous pieces of evidence against the two families.The investigations also revealed who was working behind the scenes and who was protecting them. Substantial evidence of bribery and corruption on their part was uncovered.The methods used by these two families to harm ordinary citizens were innumerable. Some lesser-known inside information came to light, further inciting public fury.The citizens were shocked to learn that the daily consumables they dealt with every day, particularly the sausages, were involved in such shocking scenes.Unable to bear it any longer, the people collectively condemned these two families, resulting in their swift closure. The owners of the two businesses were arrested, and every charge was proven. They soon declared bankruptcy, disappearing from Foswood forever. Those who had harmed Ava and Jenn

The two people in front of me were a handsome man and a beautiful girl.They were dressed differently. Loak wore a set of black sportswear, looking more upright. Perhaps the food here was good, as he seemed to have filled out slightly, and he wore a pair of nice matching sports shoes. He looked entirely different now.As for Anya, she had changed out of her tight-fitting dress into sportswear, which was a shade of girly pink. She also wore matching sports shoes, and her bronze skin looked a little brighter. Her hair was tied into a ponytail, which made her look youthful. The girl was beautiful, and I liked her even more.Before I could speak, Loak suddenly pulled Anya down with him and knelt in front of us with a thud.That startled me, and I quickly grabbed Anya, trying to make her stand up.But Loak said something to Atlas. He was expressing something in a torrent of words. Atlas's expression remained calm but serious. He looked at Loak and said something to him in an unwavering

Back at Pleca Park, I was almost asleep when a call from Adrian woke me up. I looked at the time. It was one past midnight, so this had to be urgent.I quickly answered the phone, and Adrian, sounding uneasy, informed me, "Ms. Chloe, Matthew has attempted suicide in the detention center.""What?" I exclaimed. "What's going on?""He’s been taken to the hospital for treatment. I'm on my way there now. You..." his tone was probing."Alright, I'm coming over immediately. Which hospital?" I asked while getting out of bed. I felt a slight tremor. Atlas was still in the study.Adrian told me the name of the hospital over the phone, and I quickly hung up, rushing to the dressing room to grab a dress. After putting it on and tidying my hair hastily, I walked out of the room, knocking lightly on the study door. I pushed it open without waiting for a response.Atlas was still on an international video call. He sensed that something was wrong when he saw me all dressed and ready to go. He en
