Beyond the Divorce by Third Blossom
Chapter 567 No Such Thing as a Free Lunch

When Aidan left, I considered discussing this with Ryan. However, I decided otherwise because Ryan had been abroad for many years and might not understand the intricate relationships involved.

I wanted to tackle this project regardless of Bourdamun's situation. I wouldn't allow a minor issue to influence my decision because I owed it to Atlas, who had paved the way for me. I refused to believe Nelson could overpower the big shots.

Suddenly, my phone rang. I was surprised to see Atlas's name on my phone. I smiled and answered, "It seems we do have a telepathic connection. You called as soon as I thought of you."

I knew my words had pleased him as he asked, "Did you really think about me?"

I playfully replied, "What do you think? I wanted to talk to you more yesterday but couldn't. You passed out, and I thought it was because of your injury. Thank goodness the doctor said you were just exhausted."

Atlas chuckled, "Hmm, it pained you to see me like that, huh? How did the negotiations go?" Sᴇaʀ*ᴄh the FɪndNøvel.ɴet website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

I replied solemnly, "I need to discuss something with you."

I narrated everything about Bourdamun in detail to Atlas. He fell silent before saying, "Rest assured, I'll take care of these things."

I responded, "We must gather as much evidence as possible to expose Nelson's misdeeds. I fear someone might use this against us if we don't. Tonight's the perfect time for us to buffer the situation.

"Otherwise, there might be future troubles if we sign the contract. Nelson's influence runs too deep, and the slightest negligence could hinder us."

My words weren't exaggerated, especially since we didn't know much about Bourdamun. I knew we had underestimated the difficulty of achieving our goals.

"Martin specializes in such things, so investigating us is elementary for him. We must prepare ourselves just in case." I suspected Martin would try probing into our background.

I knew Jeremiah wouldn't play dumb, either, since he was Martin's lapdog. I even thought Jeremiah's previous visit might have been part of their plan.

Afterward, I considered Grayson's

performance in this issue. He had

handled it poorly because he didn't investigate their relationship thoroughly. However, it was also challenging for Grayson if Martin intended to keep things hidden.

Upon hearing my analysis, Atlas praised, "Hmm, it seems my clever girl has learned to strategize."

His words made me proud of myself. I chuckled, saying, "I learned from the best. You might leave me if I didn't use my brain."

"I could never. I'd treasure you

dearly, even if you were an idiot." Atlas's tone was indulgent, and couldn't help but think of Stella's

words. ne

She had subtly implied that I was Atlas's pawn. Even if I were, I was willing to be one. I said a little impatiently, "I still have much to ask you."

"What is it? Don't hesitate to question me at any time," he playfully replied.

"That's not important, but Martin and Nelson are. If we don't remove those stumbling blocks, they might trip us up," I said.

"Then, let's remove that father-son duo. If you've learned to strategize, I must support you," Atlas responded.

I mischievously said, "So this is what

ё

you call strategizing? It's more like preparing for danger. I didn't come to Bourdamun for defeat-I came to fulfill my dreams."

"Do they have the guts to oppose you?" Atlas uttered fiercely.

I giggled, "It's just an example."

"Okay, then I'll help make your dreams come true," Atlas chuckled.
