Beyond the Divorce by Third Blossom novel Chapter 878

I pondered momentarily before speaking. "I don't advocate for a merger, at least not at the moment."

"Why not?" Atlas asked seriously.

I shared my thoughts and reasons.

He looked at me, nodding approvingly. He pulled me closer and kissed my forehead, exuding a sense of satisfaction.

"Great minds think alike. You're right. This isn’t the right time for a merger. While Tanum has opened up opportunities, it lacks successful cases to support Hartz Group. And the foundation behind Hartz Group won’t suit an alignment with Tanum. It needs to operate in a low-key way, so merging isn't the right move for now."

His words made it clear that Hartz Group did have a foundation backed by Atlas. He must have injected many resources into it and used his connections discreetly.

"And the future doesn't necessarily require a merger. They can each flourish and complement each other's strengths and weaknesses and connect in a different way, for instance, through cooperation. Hartz Group can maintain its original purpose, grow steadily, and forever be the backstage support for Tanum."

Atlas spoke with a thoughtful air, showing his strategic thinking. I understood him. He was a master strategist in everything he did.

"It looks like you've invested a lot of energy into this," I said softly.

His mention of backstage support made it crystal clear to me. It was a deep commitment.

He squeezed my hand and nodded. "I found a way to change Hartz Group's legal representative to incorporate foreign capital without your permission."

I was taken aback and asked, "When did you make that change?"

"After your official divorce, I officially changed the name to your real identity while you were in Nocturnia, but I’m using your pet name. No one can trace it back to you this way, which makes it your company."

I stared at him for a long time and asked, "Does that mean Stella doesn’t know about my true identity?"

"Celine doesn't know either," Atlas affirmed. "Only the two of us know about this secret."
