Chapter 393
Beyond the Divorce
Composed Atlasâs decisive actions left those in the room reeling.
After a while, Nick stood up and announced, âLetâs adjourn!â
His words seemed to snap everyone back to reality. I turned to Carol and suggested, âWe should leave, too.â
Suddenly, a piercing shout cut through the air, âChloe! This is all your doing⦠What did I ever do to you?
How could you conspire against me like this?!â
I turned, startled, to find the source of the rage. It came from Eloise. Her eyes burned with anger, and she pointed a trembling finger at me, her hatred strong.
âChloe, I have unfinished business with you. You wretched woman, forâ¦â
âOutrageous! This is not Austier Agency. You canât shout so loudly here. Get out!â Nick looked at her with a stern face.
It was the first time I saw Nick look so forbidding. Everyoneâs attention turned to Eloise.
The room was already tense from the previous conflict, and Eloiseâs shouting only added fuel to the fire. She found herself in an awkward position as her fellow attendees scoffed at her.
âWhere do you get the confidence to go berserk at ATL Empire? Get out!â Nick shouted again, cutting Eloise off.
With a pale face, Harmonyâs assistant tugged at Harmonyâs sleeve, whispering something. Harmony, embarrassed, stood up and left the conference room.
Seeing that Harmony had already left the room, Eloise didnât pay attention to her. She was even angrier.
Ivannaâs face was gloomy, and she didnât acknowledge Eloise. She also got up, intending to leave.
I could completely understand Ivannaâs current state of mind. After all, these two people were both from the Austier Agency, and she was their boss. She was embarrassed.
Eloise stomped her foot and left, chasing after Harmony.
smiled faintly at Nick before leaving with Hana and Carol. Once outside, I felt unusually pleasant. It seemed that I had everything I strived for.
Carol looked admiringly at Hana and said, âMs. Hana, you played a key role today. Well done!â
Hana gave a sly smile. âIt was Ms. Chloeâs excellent idea!â
Carol laughed. âYes, Ms. Chloe always remains calm under pressure. This sponsorship deal was won so brilliantly.â
Then she turned to me and said, âIâm excited! The traffic for this promotional video will be through the roof. She made a big deal out of nothing, and not only did she look bad, but we got a free longâterm partnership with ATL Empire. This is a huge win!â
I smiled faintly.
Why did Atlas do this? Was he and Harmony just an act? Otherwise, why would he call off Harmonyâs endorsement?
I thought about what he said to me outside the show unit, and my heart raced. I was not expecting it to be so easy to get this sponsorship.
Atlas said it would be a longâterm partnership. Didnât he tell me that he wanted to end our business relationship?
For the ATL Empire, helping a small business like Tanum Corporation was extremely simple. However, we did need this support.
After all, Tanum Corporation was still too young, and the journey had been incredibly challenging. This sponsorship that Atlas casually bestowed upon us was no less than a godsend.
Being able to tie themselves to the ATL Empire was something many companies could only dream of, let alone a tiny company like Tanum Corporation.
âWeâre here!â Carol said as I was lost in thought. It was then that I realized I had already arrived home.
I gathered my thoughts and told Carol, âYou can drive the car back. Come pick me up tomorrow morning and take Hana home!â
Then I went straight into the house. To my surprise, there were guests at home. Myra was there with her son. This was quite a rare visit, but I knew there had to be a reason for her coming.
