Chapter 275

Top Secret I glanced at Grayson and said, “It seems Stella has some issues. You know about Atlas’s parents plane crash, right?

“Yes.”

“We should investigate Stella’s father, Rory. My intuition told me there might be a connection there.

“That’s exactly what I was thinking. I’ve already given the order, and they’re investigating Rory!”

“Atlas mentioned that his parents‘ plane crash wasn’t straightforward. I want to know why he believed that,” I stated. “Let’s focus on this aspect of the investigation. Having multiple angles can be beneficial.

Grayson agreed, albeit with some hesitation.

I paused and said, “Grayson, regardless of your previous relationship with Atlas, I hope you’ll support me now. Even though there are feelings between Atlas and me, I don’t want you to link us together. I have my own goals and inquiries.”

Grayson nodded solemnly, “Understood, Ms. Chloe!”

I smiled. “You know, this affects my direction of development, and… my choices!”

“Yeah, got it!” He seemed to understand my meaning very well.

I knew that Grayson was smart.

Since you know Hartz Construction, I will entrust that part of the company to you. Due to its unique nature and its registration, Hartz Construction can’t be publicly disclosed yet. It must maintain an air of mystery.”

I provided Grayson with detailed information about Hartz Construction’s situation and the need for secrecy “When you take over Hartz Construction, exercise caution in your actions. My intuition tells me that Hartz Construction serves a specific purpose. Until absolutely necessary, we cannot reveal that it is also under my ownership “Understood “For now, only a few of us know. Atlas, Nick, Ryan, you, and me!”

Grayson nodded seriously. “Thank you for your trust, Ms. Chloel”

Originally, I intended for it to be a tool to defeat Matthew, but now its purpose has evolved. We’re can’t help but sense an unusual tension.”

I trusted Grayson deeply, and perhaps he had been sent to my side by Atlas..

“I understand. Mr. Atlas assigned me to work under your leadership, ensuring your safety. He didn’t impose restrictions on my actions, only emphasizing my loyalty to you.”

Grayson finally admitted his previous connection with Atlas, which put me at ease. Trust had to be mutual.

After our conversation, Grayson left the room. My gaze returned to the photo on the table. The face in the picture continued to send shivers down my spine.

Could there really be people in the world who look so alike? It was uncanny.

I absentmindedly placed the photo back into the bag. Just then, Carol came in with a stack of documents.

I reached out to take them and quickly dealt with them. Then, Carol informed me that the project with Echelon Group was going smoothly. All the materials were in place, and the calculations were done.

She handed me the report. Once I had dealt with the documents, it was almost noon. I put down my pen, stretched, and massaged my neck, feeling a sense of relief.

I suddenly remembered the spa incident from yesterday. I casually called Lauren.

Lauren picked up the phone with a smirk. “I was just thinking of calling you.”

“What’s up?” I asked directly.

“It’s lunchtime. What else could it be?” Lauren scolded me playfully. “Aren’t you in need of some recharging? So, why did you call?”

I chuckled and asked, “Where do you want to go?”

“I found a fantastic place that’s to die for!” Lauren said with enthusiasm.

The mention of food instantly piqued my appetite. “Is it far?”

“Just wait for me. I’m on my way to your office, and then we can drive there together. It’s not far from where you are, close to Ivanna’s place. Give her a call, and I’ll be downstairs waiting! Lauren said before hanging up quickly called Ivanns. She answered the call in a frustrated tone, venting her frustrations before allowing you now? whook my “Forget it!” Ivanna complained, “Why are you so free today?”

“We’re going for lunch, Lauren said there’s a good restaurant!” I parroted her words.

“Oh, alright… I was just about to let off some steam!” She vented. “I’m dealing with someone who’s a handful, and it’s affecting the whole team.”

“Is it Harmony again?”
