Chapter 352

A Sudden Turn of Events I gazed doubtfully at him. Could he have deceived me, too?

It seemed that within Atlas’s intricate web, I was the only one kept in the dark. I felt like a pawn expertly manipulated in this game, and I remained oblivious to the truth.

My intense scrutiny may have surprised Grayson, and his mouth twitched. “Chlo.”

I smiled wryly. “Is there anything else I should know? The fact that he played me is, in fact, the best news I’ve heard yet.”

“Chlo, do you suspect me of betraying you, too?” Grayson asked.

I fell silent. Even Atlas, Nick, and Dylan had all deceived me–Who could I trust now?

Did Atlas not realize how devastating this would be for me? I had spent countless sleepless nights worrying if he was alive. It all turned out to be a lie.

I looked at Grayson. “Tell me, are there any further updates?”

“Apart from Nocturnia, all the ATL Empire accounts in other countries have been frozen.”

I instantly understood.

“It seems this time, it’s quite the grand move,” I murmured.

Even if I wasn’t privy to all the details, I could grasp the situation. There was no point in questioning the process. The result was what it was.

I leaned back in the black leather chair and smiled bitterly. Well, no matter what, I was still a chess piece.

That had to count for something!

I remained silent for a while, then waved them over. “They are who they are, and we are who we are.

We have our own lives to lead. Let’s get back to work. From now on, we’ll focus on ourselves. Let’s go!”

Ryan agreed. “That’s right! We’ll make Tanum Corporation stronger! This time, we won’t be under so much pressure.

Haughed and turned to him. “Mr. Ryan is right. We have to work on ourselves. If we rely solely on ATL Empire, it could lead to a dead end. We must carve our path in the market to secure lasting success.

Ryan, Grayson, stay back. I have something to talk to you about. The rest of you can get back to work.”

addressed the two of them solemnly. “My trip to the capital this time was a strategic move. Overcoming “Go on.” Ryan’s eyes brightened “Our future development should emulate Pinnacle Group. Tanum Corporation should launch a new brand!

*I looked at Ryan with confidence. “Only then can we break free from the awkward situation of depending too much on others.”

Ryan and Grayson exchanged a knowing smile, and they both said in unison, “Great minds think alike!”

The three of us laughed.

Firstly, I knew h News from the ATL Empire came quickly. I didn’t proactively reach out to him. Firstly, I knew he must be occupied with consolidating his position. Secondly, I believed he should explain this to me.

However, this restraint was agonizing. I had to admit that my longing for him had deepened, leaving me tossing and turning, unable to sleep at night.

It was reported that on the day Celine intended to announce her return to power, Atlas appeared in the conference room, overturning all her arrangements. Celine was furious.

She accused Atlas of deceit, attempting to gain sympathy by playing the family card. But Atlas wasn’t fooled. He presented a wealth of evidence that left Celine speechless.

In an instant, she became a global laughingstock, her own blunder exposing the ATL Empire’s internal secrets.

Another person implicated in this situation was Stella.
