Chapter 511
Chapter 512 Exiled Rose continued, “Adeline also secretly targeted Louis’s business, which infuriated the Cross family. They wanted to take action, but Louise advised against it. He let go of the Pierce family, demonstrating his value for loyalty and gratitude.
“He not only wanted to repay the Cross family for raising him, but he also felt obligated to his father. After the company stabilized, he gave it to Celine. He also gave his father a peaceful retirement. This kept things quiet for a few years, but little did he know…” Rose shook her head in resignation.
“Humans, they always let greed win,”
“Is Mr. David still alive?” I had never heard Atlas mention his grandfather.
Rose nodded. “He’s still around, pushing 98 or 99 years old. But since his son’s passing, he’s filled with regret.
“He left Celine and her mother at their estate and moved alone to the old Pierce house. He secluded himself, cut off from the outside world, and paid no attention to Pierce family matters. It’s like he’s on a spiritual journey.” Rose’s tone carried a touch of disdain.
“Otherwise, how could he have such a long life? No one knows if he’s repented deep down.” “And is Adeline still around?” I looked at Rose,
“Yes, she’s still in Nocturnia, Since David moved into the old house, they haven’t seen each other again. Despite Adeline’s attempts to meet, David never forgave her. They’re both in their 80s now, and I hear their health isn’t great!” “Didn’t David ever investigate how his son died?” I asked, feeling indignant.
“How could the Pierce family have such a clueless patriarch?” “Why would he investigate? He knows what happened. He never forgave Adeline because of what she and her daughter did to Atlas. It led to his six years of exile and the painful loss of his true love!” My heart suddenly sank, but I didn’t interrupt Rose.
“David was furious. He returned to the
estate with his men and gave Adeline a severe beating as a warning. That’s what left her paralyzed.” “Adeline is paralyzed?” I asked in astonishment, to which the old lady nodded with a satisfied smile.
“David did it deliberately. So Celine resents her father for it. Hmph! David ended up betraying his family, tearing them apart inside and out. Now, all he can do is live in remorse.” “Tt seems Atlas doesn’t have a good relationship with his grandfather either. He’s never mentioned him to me,” I said.
“Atlas resents his grandfather, too.
When he was in exile, his
grandfather sent people to find him, but they quickly gave up. After David
attacked Adeline, he warned vid

returning to the old house, he hasn’t set foot outside. He’s quite a determined man.” “So, Atlas was in exile for six years?” I was shocked. “He’s never really told me the full details ofthe Pierce family.” “Those six years were a living hell for him! He was barely alive when the Cross family found him and gave him to me,” Rose said. When he came to me, he did not speak for months. Don’t be fooled by his constant clashes with Arnold. The three brothers get along well!” That explained Atlas’s close relationship with the Beringer family.
It turned out that he sought refuge here during his troubled times.
“And what about Atlas’s mother? What
kind of person was she?” I asked, eager to unearth every detail about Atlas’s background.
“Tammy came from a distinguished
family. The Lively family’s heritage may not have been as deep as the
Pierce family’s, but she was an extremely gentle and virtuous woman.
She was beautiful, and that’s where Atlas got his looks.” A look of affection crossed Rose’s face.
“The name ATL Empire comes from the combination of Louise and Tammy.
They were deeply in love. It was a family of three that many envied. Oh, how unpredictable life can be!” We both fell silent.
I felt choked up. Without thinking, I
muttered, “Grandma, is there no way to hold them accountable? David is truly a fool.”
