"I'll discuss it with him," I said reluctantly, aware that taking over Echelon Group was no small task.
"Chloe, if anything happens to me, it must be the work of the Sunny family. Remember, you must take over Echelon Group. Please do that for me." Atticus's eyes held a hint of despair as he looked at me.
I have to admit, I felt a bit panicked. I had never seen Atticus look like this before. He was always such a confident and resolute man.

Please arrange a meeting with Atlas for me," Atticus said before givingone last glance and leaving. Even after Atticus disappeared down the corridor, I remained rooted to the spot, unable to shake off his words.
His words echoed in my ears. What on earth was going on? What had Atticus encountered? Who stirred up this mess? After calming myself down, I finally stood up and made my way outside.
Back at the villa where our gathering was taking place, I maintained my composure, though my thoughts were still in disarray.
I spotted Atlas drinking alone with Ernest by the liquor cabinet.
Mia approachedas I returned, casually offeringa glass of juice and asking, "Where did you go?" "There were scompany matters I needed to attend to," I replied casually, pulling her to sit by the window. "Have you chosen the project?" Mia had made it clear from the start that they were back in Foswood to establish their foundation in the business world.
Mia leaned in with a smile. "Not so fast, as investments require caution." I smiled back, thinking that Mia wasn't planning to be entirely honest.
"Take it slow. Since you want to return to Foswood for good, there's no need to rush. There are still opportunities for projects, and that requires patience."

I felt like Mia had been waiting forto ask that question so that she could pounce on it.
"With the construction of the new Bourdamun completed, we can't just sit back. I'm thinking of revitalizing old Bourdamun." I boldly threw out the bait.

"So you do have ideas. You're getting more savvy, but with your condition, does Atlas approve of you working so hard?" "It's just a pregnancy. I don't need to do any physical labor anyway since I'm using my brain. And with the foundation of the new Bourdamun, it's easy to work on the old Bourdamun." Content belongs to en.kikistoriesMia nodded, her smile seeming a bit peculiar, but I pretended not to notice.
Just then, the waiter brought us dinner, and Atlas invited everyone to the dining room.
At the dining table, Ross sat beside me. Actually, I had noticed from the moment we entered the villa that Ross's gaze often lingered on me, just as mine did on him. Content belongs to en.kikistoriesNow that he was sitting next to me, this must have been arranged by Trinity.
After exchanging greetings with him enthusiastically before taking our seats, he said something completely shocking to me.
