Chapter 311

People Fear Violence Harmony asked, “Chloe, what exactly is your relationship with Atlas?”

Her sudden question didn’t surprise me. It was clear she wanted to uncover my connection with Atlas.

Stella had stirred Harmony’s anxiety, but this impulsive move was entirely hers.

Harmony was not stupid, but she was a klutz. Her question showed she doubted Stella’s manipulation.

Teasingly, I asked, “What do you think our relationship is?”

I avoided her question, knowing that provoking her was the only way to get her to stand up to Stella. I had promised Lauren that she could witness this drama unfold.

Then, I timidly said, “I never said he’s my boyfriend. I don’t have the guts for that!”

Maybe my words reassured Harmony, or perhaps it was because I didn’t confirm my relationship with Atlas. Either way, her expression relaxed.

“I only wanted to tell you about Atlas’s condition,” Harmony stammered, her confidence waning. “I heard that he’s been discharged and is back home.”

I wasn’t surprised. After all, I had heard about Atlas’s condition from Nick.

“Is there anything else? I already know this.” I looked at Harmony with casual indifference.

“You knew?” Then she gave me a strange look. “Haven’t you been curious about Atlas’s injuries?”

I coldly asked, “Who told you that?”

Harmon’s awkward expression revealed that she had been misled.

“They said you’ve been asking around,” she said, somewhat resigned.

That struck me as odd, and I asked, “Who said that?”

I knew someone had provoked Harmony, which meant Stella knew I was seeking information about Atlas. Did they also know that Kennedy had called me? This was what I had suspected.

Harmony set down her coffee cup, looking displeased, and said, “Alright, alright, since you don’t want to know, I’ll leave.”

glanced at her. “You showed up here so early in the morning. Are you being led around like a dog.

Harmony? Given your celebrity status, you should value yourself! Why let yourself be manipulated like this?

Harmony was genuinely dissatisfied this time, and her expression turned serious. She was a widely-

adored star and was not used to being teased.

She glared at me. “No need to be so mean, Chloe. Someone wanted me to relay a message to you about Atlas’s situation. If you don’t want to know, that’s fine. But why be so sharp about it?”

Harmony looked uneasy, and I wanted to smile.
