Beyond the Divorce by Third Blossom novel Chapter 647

Atlas’s face darkened. "I think that was a trap set by Celine."

"How so?" I asked, wiping my eyes. I didn’t understand

"Because later, after the Cross family rescued me, I found out that once she realized I had escaped, she quickly discovered that Ian's son had also disappeared. You can imagine what happened to Ian. She could easily speculate that I was probably going to find Stella. Wherever she sent Stella, she must have planned it well. The facts proved that her approach was correct."

Atlas's reasoning was convincing.

"After the incident, she began to search for me like a madwoman. She might not have known whether 'Annalise' was real or fake, but she was certain that I had been there." Atlas's tone left no room for doubt.

I muttered to myself, "So that’s why there's a photo of Stella and 'Annalise' from that time. When we first saw the photo that Grayson found, I couldn't understand why Stella was also in that orphanage. Now it makes sense."

"That photo you had him investigate was taken during that time. I connected the dots through that photo and realized that the fake Stella had a story," Atlas said confidently, a hint of ruthlessness in his eyes.

"You found that photo too?" I looked at Atlas inquiringly.

"I was the one who discovered the photo. I instructed Grayson to gradually feed you with information," Atlas said with a sly smile.

I had no reason to blame him. He had put a lot of thought into it.

"That photo was what fueled my determination to investigate Stella more thoroughly," Atlas said, looking at me. "It's also why she could maneuver so freely around me later."
