Beyond the Divorce by Third Blossom novel Chapter 686

I looked at Atlas's expression with some concern.

He frowned and continued, "Later, when we found the elderly witness and investigated Clark in detail, we discovered that Clark left ATL Empire after all these events took place. As you know, ATL Empire was still under Celine’s control at that time."

"Are you suggesting that he might have had a fallout with Celine, and no one got what they wanted in the end?" I speculated.

"We found some strange clues during our investigation. At one point, Celine was actively looking for him and even issued a killing order against him. That was strange. Why would Celine want Clark killed?

"Clark must have known something or been involved in something," I replied.

Atlas nodded. "There must be some kind of secret here. It’s just like when Ian was killed. Our people followed these clues and discovered that Clark was acting suspiciously. His son, Jarvis, also escaped with him."

"It seems there's another factor at play here," I said, sinking into thought.

"That led us to think that Clark is connected to this. During their escape, it became evident that father and son were not in the same place from how often they communicated with each other.

"And when Clark was on the run, his mother and sister inexplicably disappeared. Now, it's likely they’re no longer alive, which made Clark flee like a startled bird. That explains his current condition. He wasn’t like this before.”

As I listened to Atlas, I couldn't help but think of the Clark I had just seen. He must be tormented by extreme fear, or found no other ways to support his mental state. Otherwise, he wouldn't be so emaciated.

"Also, Jarvis has been spotted around Cirencester. His strange appearances indicate that he must have support there. Your father, who disappeared at that time, is probably unable to act for some reason or is being held captive."
