This time, I was genuinely surprised. "The Avila family?"
"Yes, the leader of the younger generation of the Avila family," Atlas affirmed.
"How did you know?" I asked. "Is the information reliable?"
"Are you doubting me?" Atlas asked. "Her whereabouts are never beyond Jared's sight."
"No wonder his cooperation with the Huffman family hasn't been affected," I exclaimed belatedly. "It seems Jared is quite strategic to seize such an opportunity."
Then, I asked, "What kind of man is he?"
Atlas glanced at me casually as if it didn't concern him.
"Is he outstanding?" I asked again, and of course, Atlas knew what I meant.
"He's the youngest military leader in Yare. Quite a tough man, I would say," Atlas said succinctly, leaving it at that.
I involuntarily shook my head, and the fleeting image of the burly figure in the elevator flashed in my mind.
"No wonder when Trinity returned, she seemed very familiar with the Avila family and genuinely concerned about my grandma. From her tone, it seemed that the old lady still regarded her highly. I could tell she had changed.”
I murmured to myself, "Looks like it's the power of love."
"Are you very concerned about the Avila family?" Atlas grabbed my hand from across the table.
I looked at him, hesitated momentarily, and then spoke, "To be honest, deep down, I have some... resentment toward the Avila family."
This was the first time I had openly discussed my views on the Avila family with Atlas.
