Chapter 857
I remained in low spirits even after I saw Atlas.
He noticed immediately and pulled me into his arms. He looked down at my face in concern and asked, “What’s wrong? Why do you look so down?”
I glanced at him and said, “Can you reach Jared?”
“I still can’t reach him. What’s going on?”
I explained Ivanna’s situation to him. “Find a way to contact Jared. Tell him about this situation. It wasn’t right for him to just leave without a word, especially with Ivanna in this state. I can totally understand why she reacted that way,” I complained to Atlas in a displeased tone.
He nodded. “I’ll let you know the minute I get any news from him. But it looks like you can’t stop letting someone else’s business affect your mood, huh?”
I didn’t like the way he said that. I reproached him coldly, “Is this just someone else’ business? Is Ivanna just a random person to me? She’s worried about me for many years. I can’t just stand by and do nothing about her situation!”
I was upset as I thought about what Ivanna had said. But I couldn’t deny it, and I was trying to think about whether I had taken Trinity’s side in this matter.
But in fact, I had favored Ivanna and Jared’s relationship all along.
Atlas, who saw that I was still gloomy, sulkily instructed the driver to take us out for dinner.
I didn’t object because I didn’t want to bring my emotions home. I needed some time to process things outside.
But the car hadn’t traveled far when the driver said to Atlas, “Sir, that car is following us again.”
Atlas just grunted and made a phone call. “Bring that person to me.”
I instinctively looked behind us and saw a black sedan following our car.
Atlas pulled me close. “Don’t pay any attention to it.”
When we arrived at the restaurant, the waiter led us to a private room. After placing our orders, Dylan brought someone in.
I was surprised to see someone I knew. It was Kimberly from the Terrell family in Bourdamun.
As Kimberly entered, her eyes locked onto Atlas’s face.
I had seen that expression before. Kimberly had the same look on her face when she saw Atlas for the first time in Bourdamun.
Atlas glanced at her coldly. “Speak. Why are you following me?”
Kimberly lowered her eyes for a moment, then raised them again Her mouth twitched as she looked at Atlas. Her eyes were filled with grievances, but there was a hint of hostility in her gaze toward me.
It looked like she was openly declaring enmity against me.
“You’ve been following me for several days. Why?” Atlas’s tone was icy.
“I… I just wanted to see… you. I didn’t mean you any harm!” Kimberly replied under Atlas’s pressing gaze.
“If I ever see you again, you won’t be as lucky as you were today. Escort her out, Dylan.” Atlas’s handsome face was exceptionally cold, and his tone brooked no doubt. He stared directly at Kimberly with a look that would make anyone shiver,
“Why are you treating me like this? What does she have…” Kimberly began to say.
“Get out.” Atlas’s voice was not loud, but it was incredibly scary. His eyes also revealed a murderous intent.
Kimberly shivered involuntarily, then
glared at me resentmentfully. Before
she could say anything else, Dylan grabbed her arm and dragged her out.
BUMS
She gave me a death glare while struggling to free herself from his grip.
