Beyond the Divorce



"Once Dylan came in, he disappeared," Atlas said with a casual smile.

"He knows Dylan?"

"Yes, and he's had a confrontation with him. Among these people, he's only familiar with Dylan. I think he might have thought nobody here recognized him," Atlas speculated.

"But for now, we can't move against him. Since he's so close to Celine, it indicates that there's some kind of conspiracy between them, with a definite purpose behind it," I said, feeling a bit uneasy upon hearing Atlas's explanation.

If he was Navi's strategist and showed up at Celine's mansion after Navi's death, there must be something fishy going on.

"It seems this guy is really something." I couldn't help but comment.

"We haven't confirmed anything yet. But when I saw him in the hall, I knew the imposter still had some value," Atlas assured me confidently. "So I decided to reclaim the Pierce mansion today, which caught them off guard."

"Honey, you're so brave and decisive!" I praised him generously. "Especially when you're dealing with such a big mess."

He smiled broadly at me.

"I'm great, right?" He leaned down and lightly bit my nose, wearing a mischievous grin.

I punched him playfully and discreetly glanced at Tristan and Uncle Kenny.

Before I could warn him, he said, "Since she set the stage for me, I couldn't waste such a good opportunity."

"But Celine must not be let off. And Kenzie too, she is too sinister." I gritted my teeth. "I'm sure Kenzie has killed many people before."

"You don't need to worry about that. None of them will escape." Atlas promised.

"Celine probably never imagined that today she'd be helping you instead." I chuckled.

"She set the stage, so I had to

perform. You see, the people she invited are considered upper-class here. I couldn't let such a good. opportunity go to waste," he said confidently, reclining in his seat with an air of dominance.

"These people are enough. After all, the business circle isn't that big. Their words. carry weight. Since

Celine actively set the stage for me, I couldn't help but show my appreciation." His hand swept around my waist. "But my baby suffered some injustice."

"That's not necessarily the case. I just didn't understand why you didn't speak up. I just knew you had your reasons for staying silent." I admitted, not hiding my feelings from him.

"Only by letting them feel victorious can we make them lower their guards. Actually, without Dylan by my side, they should have been more vigilant.

"So, thanks to your confrontation with them today, you diverted their attention. After all, you're a fresh challenge to them." He praised me with satisfaction.

I felt great after Atlas praised me. "But they're too much. I almost lost control earlier.”

"How could you? You were very

domineering, and that's how my woman should be." He kissed me on the forehead. "Always remember you're the female head of the Pierce family. You have to show your dominance. Even if the sky falls, I'll still support you."

I nestled into his arms, feeling blissful.

"Who informed Grandpa about the banquet? How did he arrive so timely?" I asked.

"Don't underestimate him." Atlas pinched my hand. "He fooled me."

"Oh? How so?" I perked up immediately. "How did he fool you?"

He suddenly chuckled. "You're really nosy."

"How is that nosy? I've heard so many stories about him, but seeing him in person feels completely different from all the stories." I expressed my honest thoughts.

I needed to know David better.
