Beyond the Divorce by Third Blossom novel Chapter 1514

"I'll discuss it with him," I said reluctantly, aware that taking over Echelon Group was no small task.

"Chloe, if anything happens to me, it must be the work of the Sunny family. Remember, you must take over Echelon Group. Please do that for me." Atticus's eyes held a hint of despair as he looked at me.

I have to admit, I felt a bit panicked. I had never seen Atticus look like this before. He was always such a confident and resolute man.

"Atticus, you..." I was at a loss for words, unsure how to comfort him. "Please don't say that. And thank you for trusting me."

"I have to go now. Please arrange a meeting with Atlas for me," Atticus said before giving me one last glance and leaving.

Even after Atticus disappeared down the corridor, I remained rooted to the spot, unable to shake off his words.

His words echoed in my ears. What on earth was going on? What had Atticus encountered? Who stirred up this mess?

After calming myself down, I finally stood up and made my way outside.

Back at the villa where our gathering was taking place, I maintained my composure, though my thoughts were still in disarray.

I spotted Atlas drinking alone with Ernest by the liquor cabinet.

Mia approached me as I returned, casually offering me a glass of juice and asking, "Where did you go?"

"There were some company matters I needed to attend to," I replied casually, pulling her to sit by the window. "Have you chosen the project?"

Mia had made it clear from the start that they were back in Foswood to establish their foundation in the business world.
