I immediately added, "But I feel like this reason is a bit far-fetched."
Jared shook his head gently, "Don't overthink it. We've been investigating the movements of Melvern and the Sunny family thoroughly. Once we figure out the Sunny family's intentions, we can understand their purpose. Of course, we can't rule out the possibility that Liora wants revenge, but Melvern may not have the same motive."
Jared looked at me and said, "You have no bad blood with Melvern."
"It's hard to say, as these kinds of people are unconventional. Do you know how they think? I couldn’t be sure about that. At the very least, Melvern must see me as an obstacle."
"But he fears Atlas," Jared stated.
At that moment, Atlas walked in with large strides. Noticing that we were all there, he came directly to me.
Jared glanced at Atlas and asked, "Why are you so late?"
"Had a few clients to talk to.” He exchanged a look with Jared.
These two seemed to have a good understanding of each other. Just that momentary eye contact likely had some hidden meaning.
Atlas looked at Oliver and said, "Oliver, how about going to Gerby one day?"
"What's on your mind again?" Oliver was unsure but agreed. "You set the time."
"Good. You won't regret it," Atlas said.
I wondered, what was Atlas's motive in inviting Oliver to Gerby?
Ivanna said to Jared, "Hurry up, let them bring the dishes. I'm hungry so let's chat while eating."
Jared immediately turned around and rang the bell, notifying them to serve the dishes.
I glanced at Lauren and chuckled. Lauren was straightforward and said, "Ivanna, you're acting like a queen now. A wave of your hand, and someone immediately follows your orders?"
Ivanna, nonchalant, glanced at Lauren, "Wait until you're pregnant, and you'll be a queen too. I’m sure Oliver would follow your orders too, right?”
