I checked the tbefore heading over to Atlas. He quickly caught on to my intention and pulledcloser, allowingto whisper a few words to him. Nodding in understanding, he agreed.

I stepped out and instructed Tristan to wait for Atticus at the entrance. With a brief explanation about having surgent matters to attend to, I left the villa.

Inside the main building, a spread of food and drinks awaited us. Taking a seat on the sofa, I awaited Atticus's arrival. Soon enough, Tristan hurried in with Atticus.

As Atticus approached, I noticed he seemed troubled.

"Chloe." He appeared somewhat weary as he sat down in front of me. It was the first the addressedby name, rather than as "Mrs. Chloe." "When did you return?" I asked him, pouring a cup of tea and pushing it toward him.

Without hesitation, he took a sip of tea and leaned back on the sofa. "I just landed." I couldn't help but wonder about the urgency of his visit.

"Chloe, I've cto ask for your help with something," Atticus said earnestly, sitting up straight.

"Go ahead," I responded, noting his serious demeanor.

He paused for a moment, seemingly contemplating his words, before speaking with determination. "Take over Echelon Group." "What?" I was momentarily stunned, doubting if I heard him correctly.

"I mean, I want you to take over my company, Echelon Group. You're the only one capable of doing it now," Atticus said seriously. "What do you mean?" I asked, feeling unsettled.

"Someone intends to target Echelon Group, and I can't guarantee its survival. The best plan is for you to take over, and the sooner you do, the better. It can't fall into anyone else's hands, and it's also beneficial for you," Atticus explained.

He then reached for the teapot, refilling his cup and drinking it all in one go. I looked at him, realizing he wasn't joking about the matter.

"You can consider my offer, but tis running out," Atticus said decisively.

"What exactly is going on? Who wants to target Echelon Group?" I pressed for more details.

"The Sunny family is making a move, but I'm sure there are others with them, although I can't identify them. The situation is dire," Atticus said bluntly.

Seeing his expression, a chill ran down my spine. The Sunny family? Lance had only recently reappeared in Foswood with the Tomlinson family. Could it be them? What was their motive for targeting Echelon Group? "Are you sure it's the Sunny family?" I asked Atticus. "Did you meet Melvern?" "No, it's Lance this time, not Melvern. But clearly, they're aiming for Echelon Group." "Do you know Leonard?" I suddenly asked Atticus.

Atticus nodded. "I don't know him personally, but I've met him before." "How did you meet him?" I asked eagerly. After all, he didn't attend Mia's engagement, so how did he meet Leonard? "At the ribbon-cutting ceremony for the abandoned building on Celestis Island," Atticus said. "He was with Lance." "Leonard is Mia's future father-in-law," I said seriously.

Atticus kept his gaze fixed on my face. After a moment, he murmured, "It seems more serious than I thought." "Do you know about this? Leonard must have ssecrets." "Leonard's not the problem here. It seems..." Atticus leaned back on the sofa, lost in thoughts.

I also quickly went through the thoughts in my mind. Since Lance was making a move on Echelon Group, what was his true motive? "Can I meet Atlas?" Atticus askedsuddenly.

After sthought, I responded, "It's not convenient right now because Mia and Leonard's son, Ernest, are here. Originally, it was a small gathering for a few of us."
