Chapter 553
I knew well that, after affiliating with ATL Empire, Tanum has indeed become quite impressive. In Foswood, we can consider it a top player, and I still have the upper hand.
I knew Noah valued me more for my background because of his career ambitions. It was something I least wanted to exploit. Having it was better than not having it.
“Well… make sure the arrangements for the Bourdamun matter are meticulous. I might focus more on the hospital, waiting for Trinity to be truly out of danger before I can leave. Otherwise, I won’t be able to explain myself.”
“Don’t worry about the company. Eleanor has already returned, bringing back a lot of documents. Whenever you have time, just look at them. I’ve marked a few that I think are promising. You can review them.” I nodded. With Ryan around, I feel confident about letting go of the company’s affairs.
Just as we were talking, Grayson briskly walked in.
After sitting down, he looked pretty exhausted. Carol brought him a glass of water, and he downed it in one go.
“Chlo, the guy who stabbed Trinity, didn’t escape!” Grayson said, looking at me. He handed the empty cup to Carol and said, “Another one, please!”
Carol immediately turned around to get him more water.
“Caught him? Did Stella go to the hospital just now?” I mumbled. “Who caught him?”
“He was detained on the road. It was Jared’s people who caught him. But they haven’t let him go yet. These guys are stubborn!” Grayson sighed. “How are you, Chlo? No discomfort, right?”
“I’m fine. Trinity’s situation is scarier than my falling into the sea. The head of the Huffman family is furious!” I complained.
“By the way, how did you handle Carina?” I asked. “I have no idea what happened afterward!”
“I turned her over to the police. It might take a while for her to get out, at least until they find clues about Stella. That’s the only way to release her, and it’s responsible to do so,” Grayson said firmly. “But Andre, he’s a troublemaker, digging holes everywhere!”
“Liora should calm down for a few
days now. She’s busy with the project, and Andre’s incident bothers her. Mia is pressuring her! She fears having her business activities cut
Off!”
I knew Liora well. She was determined to establish the Thompson family and probably felt that Atticus might become unreliable soon. That was why she was pushing so hard.
However, the more she pushed, the closer she came to her demise.
“By the way, it seems Liora does not know about Stella’s situation.” Grayson’s attitude toward Stella was apparent.
Ryan took a call, briefly instructed me, and then left. I looked at Grayson and asked, “Oh, any news from Rory’s side?”
Grayson shook his head. “None.”
“Just now, Stella went to the hospital. I guess she went to check on Trinity… Grayson, Why do I always feel some connection between me and Stella?” I questioned. Grayson scrutinized me. “In what way?”
“You should continue investigating Annalise. I want to know where she’s from!” I told Grayson.
I felt Grayson wasn’t telling me the
whole truth. Maybe he was hiding something. So, I did not tell him everything Stella had said to me at the hospital. I wanted to catch Atlas off guard.
“Alright! I’ll continue tracing Annalise’s background.” Grayson replied nonchalantly. I looked at him intensely, becoming more confident that he knew more about Annalise than I did.
My phone rang, and I quickly picked it up. It was Johnson.
I answered urgently, and Johnson’s voice came through, filled with urgency.
“Chlo! Something’s happened!”
