Beyond the Divorce by Third Blossom novel Chapter 223

Chapter 223 Haki Back

I had known about Grayson’s capabilities since I saw hus tile He had received specialised training but Atlas had clarified that I couldn’t reveal any of Grayson’s information

Publicly, Grayson was portrayed as a high achieving student from a prestigious school, the only child of an average family in Fonwood. That was the extent of his reputations

I did feel uneasy using Grayson to investigate the Pierce family when Allas had assigned him to me

Most companies tended to slow down from Christmas instil New Year’s Day. However, All Empire caught us off guard. They insisted on starting work immediately on projects that were supposed to begin after the New Year. They even shortened the timelines

It was unreasonable given the upcoming New Year holiday, which typically disrupts work for 20 days. They showed no leniency, citing that properties were already sold and new owners were eager to move in

Meanwhile, the Echelon Group project remained ongoing and couldn’t be paused.

I called Atlas, who was abroad, but didn’t tell him about my concerns. Instead, I approached Nick, who

also seemed troubled by the situation. Though he didn’t say much. I understood his concem There was

no room for negotiation.

Ryan tried to find a solution, and Grayson talked to various external resources However, we hit glead

ends.

Nevertheless, time waits for no one. The New Year was fast approaching After the holiday, business would slow down everywhere.

On top of that, starting work at this time meant I had to advance the workers paychecks. It was risky since the workers might not return on time after the holiday.

ATL Empire seemed ruthless. Sometimes, I questioned why I had to push myself so hard. Couldn’t I enjoy a peaceful and uncomplicated life?

However, dwelling on such thoughts was useless. It felt like I was being forced into a corner with no way

out.

Just when I felt overwhelmed, Atticus extended an unexpected helping hand.

One day, I received a call from him inviting me to meet. It felt somewhat peculiar. Aside from our collaboration on the duplexes, I had no further dealings with him and no intention of working together

I nearly choked on the tea.

This was indeed a lifesaver. It came so effortlessly. Someone was rushing to clear obstacles for me.

Naturally, I looked at the man before me in astonishment.

Perhaps my expression was too exaggerated, but he looked at me with a faint smile. “What’s wrong? You don’t trust me?”

“N–No!” I quickly waved my hand. “The thing is, what about your project?”

He gave a confident, casual smile. Reclining on the sofa, he said, “I recently bought a plot near the city. and the planning is underway. This project will keep me busy for the next two years, so I’m clearing the way. It’s my top priority for the year.”

He looked at me with a gleam in his eyes.

“I will not be working on any other projects in the meantime. The initial stages of the project will be wrapped up after the New Year, providing a period for reorganization. You can manage it. It also allows

me to use your help to care for my people. It’s a win–win situation!”

Atticus spoke casually, but I sensed this matter wasn’t so simple.
