Chapter 334

A Major Change The news from ATL Empire was indeed shocking. They not only replaced Nick, but several other key positions were shuffled as well.

Just then, Celine suddenly made Atlas’s condition public and even released a photo of him in a coma.

Reality was harsher than I expected. As soon as I received the news, I called Nick. His demeanor remained calm and gentle, not avoiding the truth.

“Mr. Nick, I’m sorry. Is this my fault?” I sincerely apologize to Nick. I felt a heavy weight in my heart.

“It relates to your situation, but the outcome was inevitable. So, you need not blame yourself.” Nick didn’t sound reproachful, which made me feel even more guilty.

“Well… How is Atlas?”

“There’s still no sign of him waking up, but one day he will,” Nick stated firmly. “No one can replace his position.”

“Yes… Mr. Nick, if there’s any news about him, please let me know.”

“Of course I sensed he didn’t have much more to say, so I reluctantly hung up. Observing the garden through the window, my heart sank. If only I could stay with him and wake him up.

Timothy Benit, Nick’s replacement, summoned me two days later.

He adopted a strictly businesslike demeanor, inquiring about the cooperation between ATL Empire and Tanum Corporation.

After our discussion, we received a notice that ongoing projects had to be completed on time with high quality, while all projects in the planning phase were put on hold.

This was within my expectations. Fortunately, I had maintained good communication with my suppliers, so there wasn’t excessive inventory.

However, the pressure weighed on me, making it hard to catch my breath.

Ryan continued to comfort me. “This is a good thing. It’s a wake–up call, teaching us to face unexpected events. We can’t pin all our hopes on one thing. That’s been our weakness. Our immediate priority is to open up our path. We can’t always rely on the ATL Empire.

Deb down laww Ryan was right However, when ATL Empire extended a helping hand to me, it saved me from a dire situation. At the time, honestly had no other choice.

So, aside from my feelings for Atlas, I still held a lingering fondness for ATL Empire.

Grayson also returned from Solaris to Foswood. He managed to secure that contract, a glimmer of hope.

in these gloomy days.

The project with Alliance Corporation went smoothly after several detailed discussions, and we successfully signed the agreement.

I still had several projects from Atticus, so Tanum Corporation’s livelihood was assured. I prepared for the worst, but it would be a victory me.

as long as I could secure the interests of those working 1 At this moment, Atlas’s words of advice echoed in my ears. He urged me to always fight for my maximum benefit There were rumors that the ATL Empire was having a significant impact on many businesses. Timothy was making sweeping reforms. The whole team from the previous administration had been replaced.

At present, it seemed that Celine had successfully regained lost ground. She was truly ruthless.

I finally understood that Celine’s public announcement of Atlas’s condition was a prelude to her taking action and a reasonable excuse to reclaim lost territory.

I couldn’t help but admire this woman.

It also raised my suspicion that Atlas’s car accident wasn’t as simple as it seemed. When the gods fight, it is always mortals who suffer.

Her bold moves meant we would pay the price. They scrutinized materials and standards, nullifying all previous approvals.

We were left in a daze. Even supplier inspection reports were rejected, requiring retesting.

While I was struggling, there were those reveling in their success. Construction for Matthew’s project officially began in the nearby city.

However, they were promoting and creating a buzz over here simultaneously. They also signed another project with ATL Empire. hew was how genuinely basking in the limelight, soaring to new heights.

Just as the ceremony concluded, an impeccably dressed Matthew approached me to discuss an acquisition the following day.
