Chapter 952
I looked at him curiously and asked, “Who?”
Atlas pinched my nose and said, “It’s Melvern.”
“Melvern?” I exclaimed.
I really didn’t expect him to consult Adrian.
Could it be related to Matthew’s case?
I looked at Atlas skeptically and said, “He wouldn’t be consulting about Matthew’s case, right? That falls under the confidentiality of this case, doesn’t it?”
“Of course, he wouldn’t directly ask that question. He inquired indirectly about equity and economic disputes.” Atlas explained.
“This indicates something. He fears Atticus’s release. He wants to protect Liora. At least until he settles the score with Atticus, he doesn’t want Liora to interfere with his plans.” Atlas analyzed Melvern’s intentions.
I asked with concern, “Will it affect Matthew’s case?”
He looked at me, somewhat conflicted, and asked, “Are you worried?”
I looked at Atlas seriously and said, “I don’t want to keep entangling with this matter endlessly.”
“For Liora, Matthew is already a losing move. But for us, it’s an opportunity to suppress her. So, we need to be prepared on both fronts now.”
“Why do you say that?”
Atlas thought for a moment. “I have a hunch that Melvern may hire the best lawyer for Liora, giving her a foolproof defense and ensuring she comes out of this unscathed before Atticus could free himself. With this constraint in place, Melvern can move against Atticus.”
“Do we have a guarantee?” I asked.
“So today, I discussed with Adrian and decided to change our strategy. We’ll win Matthew’s case first and end our troubles, then put pressure on Liora. We’ll make her act and incriminate herself.”
“I don’t understand. What do you mean by making her act and incriminate herself?” I asked.
Atlas smiled mysteriously. “She’s set in her ways. As long as we…”
He whispered a plan in my ear, then raised his eyebrows, asking, “Understand?”
After hearing Atlas’s words, I smirked, feeling relieved. “You’re too high-handed, playing her to death. Let her be proud for a while, and then let her fall from a high place. Maybe she’ll learn a lesson by then.” Atlas grinned triumphantly, leaned over, and asked, “So, should I get a reward?”
Pretending to be clueless, I said, “What reward? I don’t want any reward!”
After saying this, I subtly moved away to the side.
He looked at me meaningfully and asked, “Do you think you can escape this ordeal? Hm? Are you trying to be clever with me again?”
He was like an old cat, teasing this little white mouse. The next moment, I was completely overpowered, with no strength left.
That day felt like riding a roller coaster, leaving me utterly exhausted.
Since the kids were here, I had to grit my teeth and persevere the following day. I woke up early and got the two little ones ready.
Fortunately, Atlas had already bought breakfast.
When the two little girls woke up, they chatted incessantly. I couldn’t understand a word they were saying. They kept talking even while eating.
While feeding them, I also urged
Atlas to eat. He looked at me with a
strange expression. I asked in
Vel
surprise, “What’s with that look? Why are you staring at me like that?”
“You look like a housewife now. It’s quite charming.” He looked at me with a tender gaze.
I clearly understood what was on his mind. He loved the feeling of being at home.
So, I deliberately said, “Are you annoyed by my nagging?”
When this sentence came out, Ava immediately looked at me and said in her childish voice, “Mommy, you are indeed very naggy.”
I was aghast. “What do you both mean?”
They exchanged a smile, ignoring me altogether. Since when did this father and daughter become so harmonious, forming such a united front?
“Why aren’t you saying anything about how noisy you are?” I retorted, to no avail.
After breakfast, Atlas said, “Take a
I
break. I take the girls to school and
head straight to the company.
Rest a bit before going to
the
office.”
“Why? Ryan’s not around, and I can’t slack off might have to go to Bourdamun tomorrow. The situation. there can’t be neglected, and ma bit worried if I don’t check it out.” I entered nagging mode again.
“I can accompany you to Bourdamun.” Atlas quickly suggested.
