I sighed with a bitter smile. In the end, human relationships are all about using and being used.
However, reflecting on the events surrounding Liora and the incident with Atticus, his assistance tois indeed a drop in the ocean.
No wonder Atlas has been observing Atticus's moves. It seemed that Atlas was my true behind-the-scenes support, the one manipulating the situation.
Atlas was the one pulling the strings.
I assumed that Atticus would never dare to act rashly against me. If Atlas wanted to push him into bankruptcy, it would only take a few minutes, and I believed that Atlas was capable of that.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtJudging from the fact that he could pocket such a big project in the capital, it was trivial for him to give up on a project in Rivendell.
On top of that, I was in trouble at that time. Of course, he wouldn't let anyone succeed. He retreated in order to advance.
That was the real reason why Atticus had always treateddifferently.
To be honest, Atticus has constantly scrutinized my relationship with Atlas, just like Melvern was observing my relationship with Atticus. Everyone has their motives.
If it weren't for Atlas behind me, Atticus wouldn't bother looking twice at a minor figure like me.
From a series of events, whether the Beringer family or the Huffman family, Atticus was undoubtedly an influential figure. Otherwise, he wouldn't be where he is today.
However, the hint he gavejust now surprised me. He must be following Matthew's case and preparing all along.
He was genuinely hoping for Liora to face retribution. This was understandable.
I unconsciously picked up the phone, dialed a number, and only realized afterward that I was equally anxious. "Ms. Chloe!" Annika's cheerful voice cthrough the phone.
I quickly collected my thoughts. "Oh... I went to the capital, so I didn't have tto ask about Charlie's condition these past two days." "Don't worry, Ms. Chloe, he's doing well. Charlie is really easy to take care of. Myra's visits are getting shorter, and he doesn't make trouble He just gets excited when he sees Myra." Annika laughed happily.
From her laughter, you could hear how joyful the current situation in the Reese family was.
"Does he wake up at night?" I asked.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"He does, but he's not fussy. Sometimes, Re even plays with his dad when he wakes up in the middle of the night! Since Charlie chArton hasn't gone out much anymore. Most of the time, he takes care of Charlie at night. It's quite a change," Annika said excitedly.
"That's good. He's responsible now. Isn't there a saying that you don't understand parents' hardships until you have children?" I smiled and said, "He's grown up." We both laughed.
"You can rest assured. He used to always be in fights. After my husband passed-" she suddenly stopped.
I knew who she was referring to, but I remained silent.
After a while, she choked up and said, "Since my husband passed away, Arton has becmuch more m gentle. Even when he goes out, he rushes back has if someone will snatch the child away if he's not there." I also smiled. "Is he hnow?"
"He is. He's feeding the baby milk," Annika quickly replied "Charlie m seems to have a good appetite. He's En.
growing well." I laughed. "I'll drop by one of these days." "Okay, cover. We really miss you." Annika didn't hide her happiness.
"Alright! I'll see then if Charlie still recognizes me."
After saying this, I thought of Atticus's matter just now. If I were to mention this to Arton, how would he and the Reese family react to my intentions? X
