Beyond the Divorce by Third Blossom novel Chapter 1427

"Is the Pierce Corporation still under her control?" I asked a crucial question. I believed Atlas wouldn't just sit idly by after waiting for so many years.

"Yes, but she has established many invisible teams within the company. That's why I'm investigating the mastermind behind it. But that doesn't stop me from taking action here. If I can lure her into my trap, I can pull out the mastermind.”

"Do you have a target then?" I asked Atlas. Knowing him, he wouldn't be so bold without a clear target or if he wasn’t certain about this.

He smiled charmingly. "Of course I do, but it's not confirmed yet."

"Who is it?" I immediately pressed.

Atlas tightened his grip on me, then whispered a name in my ear. I was stunned, stopping in my tracks to look at him.

The name shocked me. How could it be possible?

"Are you surprised?" He looked at me.

"I can't believe that..." I couldn't finish my sentence.

He pulled me close and continued walking. "Many things are unexpected, aren't they? We can't judge a book by its cover.”

"How are you so sure it's him?" I asked in confusion.

"The timing. Everything that has happened since my father's return is related to him," Atlas said confidently. "Anything could happen."

I couldn't help but admire Atlas's meticulousness. He wouldn’t overlook any detail.

I told him about my previous feelings toward this person. Atlas scoffed, pinching my cheek and saying, "When someone does something, they’ll always leave traces behind.”

"I can't imagine a person like that could be associated with a notorious fugitive." I shuddered at the thought.

"The more evil they are, the more they use kindness as a mask," Atlas said calmly.

"No wonder Celine called you back right now. She wants to cover up her tracks, buy time, and take advantage of your absence to act," I speculated boldly.
