Chapter 305 The Beginning of the End
Ryan, who hadn’t seen me all day, was anxious. He had called me multiple times, but I hadn’t answered.
office. When I finally returned, he hurriedly followed me into my
“Chlo, where were you? Are you feeling unwell?” Ryan’s concern was evident as he noticed the pallor on
my face.
I sank wearily into my chair. “I went to ATL Empire and met with Nick.”
“Any news?” Ryan inquired promptly, fully aware of why I had met with Nick.
“H–He’s still unconscious! He hasn’t woken up yet.” I didn’t hold back any details from Ryan. I felt utterly powerless. “He suffered a head injury. They’re keeping the news under wraps.”
Ryan understood the gravity of the situation and said, “No wonder they are trying so hard to hide this. This happened as Atlas announced his takeover. It’s not a good sign. Those loyalists of Celine, I’m afraid they
will be active again.”
“The most important part is not knowing when he will wake up. Today, Celine returned to Nocturnia. I initially thought it was good news, but now I see it is quite the opposite!” I muttered to myself, feeling unsettled. “That woman is planning something! How could she pass up such a golden opportunity? She never intended to give up control of the ATL Empire.”
“Don’t worry too much. After all, we don’t know much about the ATL Empire. I believe Atlas won’t be
without a plan!”
“It’s precisely because we don’t know that I’m worried. Mr. Nick also mentioned that this accident disrupted Atlas’s plans!”
I could only analyze the situation with Ryan. “As far as I know, Celine won’t just let the ATL Empire change hands. Her desire for control over the ATL Empire has driven her mad, to the point where…she might have had a hand in the plane crash that took Atlas’s parents!”
“Still,” I said. “Celine has always been scheming. With Atlas in this condition, I think she might use this as an opportunity for trouble. Do you think she might…?”
I looked at Ryan in horror. “What if she takes advantage of Atlas’s unconscious state?”
Ryan shook his head. “It’s unlikely, but of course, this doesn’t rule out the possibility of him not waking up
for a long time.”
My heart sank. “She returned to Nocturnia but left Stella behind, keeping her close to Atlas.”
Celine was not doing this out of kindness, and Stella wouldn’t genuinely want to look after Atlas.
I couldn’t shake the feeling that trust between Atlas and Stella had eroded, and they were both putting on an act.

This story would be interesting if there weren't so many garbled paragraphs. Half sentences and missed paragraphs. It's too much, give us a proper story. I'm done reading...
Atlas literally took Chloe away from Ryan Ryan needs to go back and reinforce to be able to be head-on Caz that's the only place he's lacking...
