Chapter 379

Putting the Plan into Action I was unsure of my role in Atlas’s plans. Given his strategic thinking, my worries were unnecessary.

Maybe it was time to find my place in this new situation. Why drag myself into a game of deception?

I’ve had enough.

By conserving my energy, I could make my parents happy and keep my daughter safe. That was what!

He didn’t aim for great wealth but a life of peace and contentment. Moreover, I had taken up much of Ryan’s time and couldn’t ignore his kindness. I couldn’t keep taking from him.

Suddenly, my phone rang. I looked at the caller ID and saw Ivanna’s name. When I answered, she ranted, Chloe, did that lunatic provoke you again?”

I smiled helplessly. “How did you know?.

“It’s all over the internet! Melanie’s a madwoman! You shouldn’t have saved her son. The boy won’t turn out any better with a mother like that. You’re just adding to society’s burden. He’ll be a menace to society.

I chuckled, “You’re too harsh. I can’t let a child suffer, especially one so young.”

“You’re just too kind. Melanie’s shameless, yet you still feel sorry for her. She’s been causing trouble since she was pregnant and still does, even after giving birth.” Ivanna continued to vent her anger, “If I ever see Matthew, I’ll beat him up!”

“You’re always getting into trouble,” Ivanna said, frustrated and annoyed, “I’ll come over. I had planned to have some fun tomorrow, but you’re in the hospital…”

She hung up, and I smiled helplessly. I couldn’t help but curse Atlas. I wouldn’t have considered going home if it weren’t for his appearance.

They’re so disgusting!”

“I just got an earful from Ivanna,” I said with a helpless smile, “I can’t leave the hospital now.”

Lauren looked at me and said, “I told you not to wait any longer. We should put our plan into action now.

They started their construction, right? I heard they’ll work on it simultaneously.”

I I collected my thoughts, realizing Lauren was right. Since Stella had returned to Nocturnia, I needed to bring her back here. After all, it wouldn’t be much fun without her.
