Beyond the Divorce by Third Blossom novel Chapter 1341

Atlas reacted quickly. He swiftly pulled me into his arms and shifted positions, evading the oncoming Poppy amidst the crowd's gasps.

Luckily, Dylan grabbed her arm and pulled her back. Poppy pretended to look embarrassed.

With a profound look, Dylan said, "Ms. Poppy, steady yourself!"

Poppy felt uneasy under Dylan's cold gaze, her mind shaken momentarily. She quickly smiled and said, "I'm sorry! Ms. Chloe, I startled you. My fault for not standing firmly. Sorry."

Atlas glanced nervously at me and asked, "Are you okay?"

Everyone was surprised by his anxious expression, casting curious looks my way.

I quickly smiled lightly and said, "I'm fine."

Then I returned the list to the host and said, "No problem. Thank you for your hard work."

Atlas adjusted my clothes, looking me up and down before finally relaxing. However, his handsome face still glanced indifferently at the embarrassed Poppy.

Trying to conceal her nervousness, she bit her lip apologetically and took a step back. I knew very well that Poppy's interruption was probably a 'performance' with ulterior motives.

If Atlas hadn't acted in time, I might have been 'accidentally injured' by her unrestrained feet. She could have taken advantage of the situation to throw herself into Atlas's arms in full public view.

Unfortunately, her plan backfired on Atlas.

Outside, loud fireworks were set off, shaking the building as if trembling. Atlas never let go of me, keeping me in his arms and covering my ears to minimize the stimulation from the noise.

Even during the ribbon-cutting ceremony, Atlas kept me by his side, as the wife of the chairman of ATL Empire, jointly cutting the enormous ribbon.

Then came his brief speech, declaring that Arkada officially rooted itself in Gerby today and aligned itself with the international community.
