Chapter 334
Beyond the Divorce
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 Atlasâs 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.
âMr. Nick, Iâm sorry. Is this my fault?â I sincerely apologize to Nick. I felt a heavy weight in my heart.
âIt relates to your situation, but the outcome was inevitable. So, you need not blame yourself.â Nick didnât sound reproachful, which made me feel even more guilty.
âWell⦠How is Atlas?â
âThereâs still no sign of him waking up, but one day he will,â Nick stated firmly. âNo one can replace his position.â
âYes⦠Mr. Nick, if thereâs any news about him, please let me know.â
âOf course I sensed he didnât 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, Nickâs 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 wasnât excessive inventory.
However, the pressure weighed on me, making it hard to catch my breath.
Ryan continued to comfort me. âThis is a good thing. Itâs a wakeâup call, teaching us to face unexpected events. We canât pin all our hopes on one thing. Thatâs been our weakness. Our immediate priority is to open up our path. We canât 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 Corporationâs 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, Atlasâs 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 Celineâs public announcement of Atlasâs condition was a prelude to her taking action and a reasonable excuse to reclaim lost territory.
I couldnât help but admire this woman.
It also raised my suspicion that Atlasâs car accident wasnât 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 Matthewâs 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.
