Chapter 76 Too Meticulously Planned
After some hesitation, I asked, “Why are you treating me so well?”
Atlas smiled at me before ruffling my hair. At that moment, my world felt bright again. He was skilled at
flirting, and I felt he had enchanted me.
“Because I like you. Is that okay?” Atlas asked.
My face lit up when he said that. Although I was married, his charisma affected me. I couldn’t believe it
when he said he liked me. Such sweet nothings might work on young and innocent girls, but my daughter was almost old enough to understand what love was.
I knew my marriage was ending, and I would soon become divorced. However, the outstanding man
before me told me he liked me. Even I could sense the irony of the situation.
Atlas noticed my silence and pulled me into his arms. “Why do you always torture yourself by overthinking everything? There can be countless reasons to like someone.”
I rolled my eyes, freed myself from his grasp, and enjoyed the delicious meal. It would be a waste not to savor it. He watched me relish the food with a smile. I had to admit my mood suddenly became better. When we finished eating, he called for the server to clear the table and explained the documents. He said they were a comprehensive plan for crucial projects. However, ATL Empire had already outsourced
one
part to Ardora Construction.
My eyes widened when he mentioned that company. I asked him in a whisper, “Ardora?”
He nodded with a profound look. I knew Ardora Construction was the company Matthew had registered under Melanie’s name. I had a strange feeling that Atlas had planned everything too meticulously. It was as if he had carefully designed everything to push me forward.
I had no room to retreat, which meant losing everything and giving up on exposing Matthew’s true colors. Still, moving forward was risky, and I felt like something was driving me toward this direction. Ultimately, I had no choice.
Although I suspected Atlas of orchestrating everything, I couldn’t see his true intentions in helping me wondered if it was because he hiked” me and felt a chill running down my spine,
struck a deal with Ardora Construction to make it your stepping stone. Use it to achieve your goal of Aking everything from them.

I didn’t respond because my mind was a mess, so he continued. “Your company can take this project, and
you can use it to repay Urban Builders’ favor. You don’t want to owe Fred too much, right?”
I asked curiously. “Are you saying I can take this project with the company registered under my name?”
“Why else did you set up a company then? Just to intimidate others? Atlas countered. “If you don’t take this project, how will you take everything from the Murphys? Tanum Corporation is already an empty shel now.”
I froze at how well he planned these moves I could already see Matthew heading toward a bottomless
Dit
Atlas looked at me while I was in a daze and pulled me into his arms. Then, he gently kissed my forehead, saying. “Maybe you should take some time and get some rest before considering your options” With that, he placed the room card on the coffee table and left the room. I was alone in the empty room, and the silence was overwhelming Atlas’s perfect revenge plan scared me somewhat
I didn’t know if excitement or clear sight of Matthew’s fate made me uneasy. Regardless, my heart raced. What troubled me the most was Atlas’s feelings for me. No matter how hard I tried, I couldn’t find a reasonable explanation.
