Beyond The Divorce Chapter 711-chapter will update soon

Beyond The Divorce Chapter 712-I rescued this child. If it weren't forcatching him that day, such a fragile little thing might not have survived.

It seems my intervention was worth it, even though it almost costan arm. We had a joyful and fulfilling day, and even Rose played with the kids wholeheartedly.

By the tAtlas returned, it was already dinner time. Charlie, looking at Atlas, seemed enchanted. His eyes didn't blink, and suddenly, he grinned.

Atlas was kind. As he reached out to Charlie, I thought he might be shy or unwilling to be held. Surprisingly, the child extended his tiny hand to him.

Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt When Atlas took him, Charlie stared at Atlas up close for quite a while, and from his mouth came, "Mommy." Everyone burst into laughter.

Looking at Atlas's dignified face, all smiles, I thought he would make a great dad.

Because he was so gentle with an unrelated child, I wondered how he would be with our own child. The thought made my face blush.

Rose saw my expression and laughed heartily. "Chlo, while you're still young, quickly have two more. That way, Ava won't be lonely. You need a few more kids with such a big yard and family business." Atlas looked at me. "Don't pressure Chlo. She just relaxed not long ago. We'll consider it when Ava is a bit older." "I'm big now. I can have little brothers and sisters," Ava, understanding everything, quickly chimed in.

Just as I was about to stop her, thinking she was just a kid, Jenny immediately said, "I can too." My face turned even redder, feeling awkward.

After dinner, all of us decided to accompany Myra home. Since Atlas was driving, we all got into the car, and even Charlie was already asleep.

Myra, holding him, said to me, "Chlo, to be honest, I'm a bit reluctant." I smiled. "Then keep him a bit longer. We'll decide after handling Matthew's affairs!" After dropping off Myra, we made a trip to the hospital. Ava mentioned that she hadn't seen Lauren in a long time.

When we returned to Pleca Park, it was already late at night.

We finally received the signing notice for Phase Two of Avalon Hills on Monday. The entire company was elated, signaling that despite Liora's jumping around, she still lost.

Once the news of the signing ceremony was announced in major media outlets, the dust settled, and Ryan finally got rid of his worry.

Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm At the company's celebration banquet, he said, "Chloe, I strongly request stoff. I need a good night's sleep." I knew he had been working hard recently. He could be considered the backbone of the company. Every tthere was something on my end, he was my support. Ryan essentially ran this company.

Upon hearing his words, everyone said, "Give Mr. Ryan an early vacation." I didn't dare to neglect it. Assertively, I said, "Mr. Ryan, you get a week off."

Ryan glanced atand said, "At hor abroad, capitalists are never generous. They say they are, but when they open their mouth, they'll say a week." I looked at him in a daze, not understanding what he meant. "Is…that too much or too little?"

Eleanor lightly nudgedand said, "You're something else, not caring O about your subordinates. You should be more generous and allow Mr.

Ryan to achieve something with Ms.

Joyce."

I slapped my forehead and said, "Oh my God, I made a mistake. Twom weeks! Mr Ryan, you get two weeks off. Carol, book Mr. Ryan and Ms Joyce's plane tickets. Visit the suburbs. Let Joyce enjoy Northum. You haven't been back for a year. It's tto go." As soon as I said this, Carol responded, "Alright! I'll book it right away!" "Wait…"

Beyond The Divorce Chapter 713-Ryan immediately stopped me. "Forget it, I just need a two-day sleep break. 24 hours will do. I just want to sleep peacefully. There's still a lot to deal with afterward, and I don't have tto return to Bibury. Let's talk about it around the New Year!" I quickly opposed, "Hold on, during the New Year, everyone's coming to Foswood without a doubt. I'll handle things from here. You must take a break." He tried to argue further, but Eleanor and Benjamin convinced him, and he didn't resist anymore.

I don't know why, but I felt uneasy and wanted to talk to him.

After the dispersal, I insisted on personally taking him back. He had indeed had quite a bit to drink today.

I always remember how Ryan carriedhwithout my knowing, and during the holidays, we chatted for hours outside. We talked about the promise he made not to leave the company.

Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt Now, he was carrying the weight of Tanum for me, but I couldn't give him what he wanted.

It took a long tfor the car to pull out. I was the first to break the silence. "Ryan, take a trip back. Don't let Joyce down." This time, we secured Phase Two of Avalon Hills, largely thanks to Joyce. We all watched her unwavering dedication to Ryan. "Okay," Ryan agreed.

"She's a good woman. Don't let her wait for you like you waited for someone else. No one can wait for you forever. Once you miss it, you never know where fate will lead you next," I said to him with a sigh. Too much had happened, and he had been silently supportingfrom behind, yet I never paid attention to his feelings.

"I understand." He nodded and said gently, "I know Mr. Atlas is trustworthy. He's excellent in every way, and I feel reassured. It's tforto build a harbor for her." "There are many things you don't know about between Atlas and me. I don't even understand what kind of fate this is. Maybe it's destined." After saying this, I paused. Then I looked at him and said, "Ryan, you may not know, but I am not Chloe." For a moment, I didn't know how to explain to Ryan the extraordinary connection between Atlas and me.

Ryan looked at me, somewhat surprised. "What do you mean you're not Chloe?" I drove slowly and had already passed the apartment where Ryan lived, wandering on the streets.

"I'm not really Chloe. I'm Stella White," I explained. Ryan beceven more confused, looking atquestioningly.

"Who? Stella?" His expression becagitated.

I thought for a moment before starting with the plane crash involving Atlas's father, telling him that I was Rory's daughter. This revelation left Ryan utterly incredulous.

"So, how did you end up in Bibury?" He couldn't believe such a thing.

"That's something I currently can't figure out myself. It's also a painful matter. I don't know why I cto the Hartz family and becChloe. It all feels like a dream. Luckily, you've been by my side, shouldering the company for us." I sincerely expressed my feelings to Ryan.

Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm "Fortunately, your memory started with me. I can do something for you," Ryan comforted me. "Don't overthink. It seems he is your true love. You must cherish and live a good life together." His words toucheddeeply.

"Then, you should do the same.

Settle down and find someone who velloves you! Joyce deserves your affection. She has no vanity, no ulterior motives, and, more importantly, she has always loved you.

"Last ton the cruise, she askedhow to make you see her eerom existence. Ryand feel like I owe her. Don't let such a good girl wait. I will feel bad."

I looked at Ryan, mischievously smiling, and said, "Hurry up and get yourself a wife so I can marry with peace of mind."

Ryan looked atand smiled warmly. He madefeel very comfortable with his stable demeanor and gentle attitude. The NO atmosphere in the car gradually improved.

Beyond The Divorce Chapter 714-I couldn't help but sigh. "You're like my big brother, spoilingto the point where I can ignore everything about the company. I can just push all the responsibility onto you. "Honestly, if I were running this company alone, who knows what state it would be in? It'll probably be bankrupt for the 80th time!" I half-playfully said, "With you, everything is different. I can just kick back and relax, leaving everything to you. But you must not forget our agreement. You can't leave the company." He gavean indulgent glance and muttered, "You're blackmailing me!" I smirked triumphantly. At this moment, I felt like a child.

"Alright then." I asked him, "When have I ever reneged on what I promised you?" "When have you ever fulfilled what you promised me?" He countered, looking at me.

"Okay, okay!" I admitted in a rascal manner, "I may not be the best, and you—" "I indulged you!" He didn't look at me, sighed wearily, and said, "Alright, I'll go back to Bibury. I'll bring Joyce with me." He seemed to firm up his decision.

Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt "Then I'll take you to the airport tomorrow," I quickly replied.

"Why do I feel like something's off about what you say?" He looked at me, displeased. "It sounds like you're afraid I won't leave!" I burst into laughter.

Ryan put on a serious expression. "Is there anything else that needs my attention in our hometown?" I shook my head without saying anything. I only knew a handful of people there, and it felt uncomfortable. I didn't know where my roots were anymore.

When I thought about Nocturnia, it was a complete blank, a completely unfamiliar place.

But what about Bibury? It didn't feel like it either. In my memory, Bibury was only three years of high school. For me, Foswood carried ten years of memories. It was the longest tin my recollection, but I felt that it sometimes rejected me, becoming unfamiliar and lacking warmth.

I didn't respond to his question, so Ryan seemed to understand my inner thoughts and suddenly changed the subject. "How are things with Matthew going? Have you handled them?" I regained my composure and said, "We're just waiting for the investigation results. I've let Adrian take over his case. Grace's dying wish was that I wouldn't harm him. I can only do my best to ensure his freedom. The rest, he has to navigate alone." I truly felt uneasy. Despite Matthew being a thing of the past, he was still someone in my memory.

"Do you still hate him?" Ryan asked me.

I shook my head. "No. The love is gone as well. His life was his choice, and perhaps people make mistakes. Maybe this is fate. I've had my share of trials." "It seems Atlas is indeed worth entrusting. I can only wish you well." I glanced at him and pouted. "You sound so reluctant!" Ryan chuckled. "How could I not be reluctant to see my favorite girl marrying someone else? Only I know how reluctant I am. Now that she's finally free, her true love appears. My romantic journey is full of twists and turns. The heavens are unfair." "How dare you say such heartless things?" I stared at him with widened eyes, scolding him, "You have a good woman who's patiently waiting for You How dare you say that? If you keep talking like this, be careful that the heavens might grant her to someone else." Ryan nodded. "Yeah. After working together, I've realized that we have great chemistry."

Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm "That's right, Ryan. Think about the parents in Bibury. Don't letfeel guilty anymore, I said with a touch of grievance. He ruffled my hair. "You rascal. You're the only one I enjoy listening to. Alright, I'm going back now. I need to sleep." I looked at him. Indeed, he looked tired, and I knew he really needed rest.

After sending him home, my phone rang. It was Atlas calling.

"Why haven't you cback yet?" His voice echoed in my ears.

"I just sent Ryan home, and I'm on my way back!" I sweetly smiled, "Are you home?"

"Not yet. Cto my company. I'm waiting for you. We'll go htogether," he said over the phone. When you over e "Callwhen you're downstairs, and I'll cdown." "You've been waiting forall this time?" I asked in astonishment. "Yeah! I might have to go to Solaris for business in the next few days!" He casually mentioned.

"Okay, I'll be right there." I hung up the phone, looked in the directionchen mentioned and headed straight for ATL'Empire. X

Beyond The Divorce Chapter 715-I rushed to ATL Empire, but before I could make a call, Atlas was already waiting downstairs.

Atlas instructedto hand the car over to his assistant, and then he ledto his car. I quickly asked, "Did you meet with Mr. Anson today?" "Yeah, I did," he responded. "He needed to probe around a bit before making a judgment." Atlas shared the details, saying, "But Mr. Anson also mentioned that they have a cooperative relationship with one of the forces in Bermuda. They need to investigate to confirm. If it's not them, things can proceed smoothly, and they can handle the matter." "What if it's the opposite?" I looked at him with sconcern.

He calmly said, "Even if it's the opposite, everyone will intensify their cooperation. It's just a matter of interest." "Intensify cooperation? Do you want to cooperate with them closely?" I looked at Atlas with a bit of worry. "You know that Jared is weakening the collaboration with the Huffman family. You can't have too close cooperation with them." He looked at me, smiling. "Are you worried about me?" I raised my hand and patted his leg. "What do you think?" He embraced me, solemnly saying, "Rest assured, my wife!" My face turned red, and I glanced at him. "Wife?" "Isn't that right?" He smirked and then said seriously, "Our cooperation philosophy is different. I won't touch anything on the edge, but they also have a lot of businesses I can cooperate with. So, gradually monopolizing these projects is like monopolizing their influence. Get it?" I stared at him in a daze, thinking about his words. Deep down, I understood that Atlas would not easily let himself fall into a swamp.

Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt "Don't worry, I have boundaries." He patted my shoulder to reassure me.

"On your end, after the official signing of Phase Two of Avalon Hills, Bourdamun's new district should start construction." Atlas urged me. "Do you have any other ideas?" "Everything is prepared, and I've already informed Bourdamun's project team!" I reported to him.

"On Noah's end, we've dealt with the father and son of the Terrell family. This was also the intention from above, afraid that the remnants of the Terrell family might cause trouble. So, we've buffered it a bit. We've been ready here for a while." Talking about Bourdamun, it had been turned upside down recently due to the Terrell family's incident It implicated quite a few people. To construct the new district, Noah's most crucial task recently was to uproot it.

The Austier Agency launched an instant report, and if it weren't for the incident involving Lauren and me, I would be traveling back and forth from Bourdamun around this time. After assigning this task to Grayson, I haven't visited Bourdamun much.

Back at Pleca Park, everything was quiet except for the dreamlike landscape lights in the garden. It transformed the entire area into a fairytale, both surreal and beautiful. Inside, it was also quiet. It seemed like everyone had gone to bed.

I quietly entered Ava's room and saw Rose there, too.

"Grandma Rose, why haven't you slept yet?" I was a bit surprised. She should have been in bed at this time.

"Ava seems a bit sick today, and I was worried she might have a fever. So, I cto check on her." She looked at me. "Why are you hso late?" I quickly walked over, touched Ava's forehead, and touched mine. "She seems fine." "That's good." Rose breathed a sigh of relief.

Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm "We signed the contract for Phase Two of Avalon Hills today, and everything is settled. We even had a small-celebration feast for the team. Everyone's happy, so we had a meal together," I whispered.

"That's good. It looks quite promising. I heard that Phase Two of Avalon Hills is much larger thanm Phase Rose was truly sharp, not letting anything slip by. "Yes! If we talk about actual living space, it's no less than the new district in Bourdamun." "When will construction start in Bourdamun?" Rose asked.

"Very soon! It was delayed because of the aftermath of the Terrell family," I told Rose "Now that the Terrell family's matter has been settled, I believe it will start soon." Rose pondered for a moment and then asked, "The Terrell family's advisor, Denton Shaw, is the strategist for the Terrell family. Although the remaining members of the Terrell family have been punished, we can't ignore this person." Denton Shaw? This nentered my mind for the first time, making my heart sink for sreason.

Beyond The Divorce Chapter 717-It was past the usual working hours, so there wasn't a soul in sight in the basement. Carol had left early today and remindedto head back sooner. However, I lost track of tbecause I was engrossed in my work.

As I traversed the basement, I heard hurried footsteps behindbefore feeling a rush of wind. I turned and instinctively dodged, but I took a hit on my shoulder. It causedto grunt in pain.

Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt Before I could realize what had happened, another blow struck me. This time, I saw what hit me. It was a wooden bat. I sidestepped and shouted, "Who are you?!" I noticed the person wearing black sportswear with a hood and mask to cover their features. I couldn't even make out what gender the person was. However, the person's slender figure hinted at them being a woman.

"What the hell do you want?!" I demanded, retreating while watching the assailant. Suddenly, two more masked individuals with wooden bats appeared behind her.

I knew they were targetingand had prepared for this confrontation. I soon realized they had trapped me. I pointed at the woman and shouted, "Don't be so rash! There are cameras everywhere!" She remained silent and advanced toward me. I backed away nervously and asked again, "What do you want?! Who the hell are you?" As I tried to figure out the woman's identity, something even more terrifying happened. The piercing sound of a motorcycle echoed throughout the basement.

I instinctively looked back, and the motorcyclist revved their engine at the entrance to Section E of the basement parking. The sound was intimidating, and I could almost imagine what would happen next. Meanwhile, the twith bats continued to approach. I knew they had planned to catchin the middle, with the motorcycle closing in from behind.

"Wh-who are you people? What do you want with me?" I could only feign composure while nervously retreating. I regretted Atlas's advice to wait in the office for him to cand pickup.

My phone was in my bag, and only my car keys were in my hand. I knew trying to reach for my phone to call for help was impossible. Moreover, my car wasn't in this section. Instead, it was in Section E.

Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm "You won't get away with this, no matter who you guys are! There are surveillance cameras everywhere,, and security patrols are reBesides, my fiance is on his way. You won't escape." I tried to buy time, hoping for a chance to escape.

Upon hearing my words, the woman scoffed. I knew for sure she was a woman after that. I immediately thought of Liora, but she didn't She wasn't tall, and the woman beforeseemed skinnier. It also couldn't be Stella since the scaff Stella since didn't match her voice.

The roaring motorcycle behindgrew even louder. I glanced around and noticed the garage was nearly empty. Most of the cars belonged to the upstairs employees.

Then, I would seize the chance to escape ox dial for help. to escape However, I seemed to have run out of tand could only save myself. I suddenly turned and sprinted toward the exit, taking advantage of the gap. Behind me, a sinister female voice shouted, "Get her!" Immediately after, the motorcyclist roared toward me.

Beyond The Divorce Chapter 718-I sprinted while desperately screaming for help, but the motorcycle's roar drowned out my voice.

I had worn a pair of high heels to work today. It becapparent they were slowingdown. The footsteps behindgrew closer, and the motorcycle was already two lanes ahead of me.

Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt Suddenly, a car sped in from the Section E entrance and maneuvered through the parking columns. It headed straight for the motorcycle. With no tfor reaction, a loud bang echoed as the motorcyclist flew. The motorcycle then skidded across the floor.

I dared not stop running, and the car was agile. When I passed the car, it reversed and blocked the ton the other side. Everything happened so suddenly. When I glanced behind me, the three assailants froze and watched in horror at the unfolding scene.

The woman was unwilling to give up and attempted to continue pursuing me. However, one of the men pulled her back. Then, they turned and ran in the opposite direction, seemingly attempting to flee. The driver executed a rapid U-turn and cut off their path. The car drifted and knocked the tdown. When the door passenger door swung open, Atlas appeared. Soon after, Dylan stepped out of the driver's seat.

I found myself sitting on the ground, gasping for air. I also noticed the motorcyclist had yet to get up. Afterward, another car drove in, and several bodyguards jumped out to pin down the twho had assaulted me.

Atlas rushed to my side and knelt, urgently asking, "Are you hurt?" I instinctively held my throbbing shoulder. Atlas narrowed his eyes and unbuttoned my blouse collar, revealing a scary bruise. He then liftedoff the ground and placedsomewhere safe to examine me, asking, "Do you have any other injuries?" I quickly assured him, "No, nothing else." I glanced toward the woman on the ground. Atlas's bodyguards had already pulled off her hat, revealing her orange hair. Her mask was still over her face. Although a bodyguard held her down, she managed to gaze atmaliciously.

I approached her and told the bodyguard, "Remove her mask." The bodyguard yanked off the woman's mask, and I saw a heavily made-up face. I sneered, saying, "I thought so!" I had guessed correctly. It was Madison, the one who had confrontedat the party.

Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm "Chloe, things won't end well for you! Consider yourself lucky that I didn't kill you tonight. I won't give up as long as I'm alive!" Madison struggled as the bodyguard pressed her face against the ground.

"You must have a death wish!" Atlas glared at Madison, who continued her futile struggle.

She said, "She has deceived you, Atlas! She's just a slut who plays with men. She can seduce other men, but why did you let her fool you?" Atlas responded sinisterly, "It seems the punishment for your family was too light. How dare you slandermy fiance in my presence! Dylan evict the Ballards from Foswood" en.swhovelsMadison's eyes widened with despair as she stared at Atlas. "No… You can't treatthis way, Mr. Atlas! You've already punished my family. You can't—" "You don't have the right to negotiate with me. You attack my fiance but still think you have a The content is on Ennbvelxo.com! chance at mercy?!" Atlas roared, then pickedup and headed toward the car.

He turned and glanced at Dylan, adding, "If anyone from the family rebels, make them taste the consequences of Madison's actions."

Soon after, Dylan joined us in the car. As he turned the key to start heard a horrifying scream.

Beyond The Divorce Chapter 719-I instinctively turned to see what had happened, but Atlas held my head and redirected my gaze. He then instructed, "Dylan, head to the hospital." I quickly reassured, "I'm fine." "No, you're not. The injury is at the collarbone, so we must get it checked. Otherwise, I won't have peace of mind," Atlas said, looking atwith concern, "Does it still hurt?" I felt a little guilty but shook my head and asked, "Wh-what did you do to her?" "Kill one to warn and deter others," Atlas answered firmly.

I never expected the warm and amiable Atlas to be so heartless. I knew he was just overly worried about my safety. I also realized he wanted to intimidate those who harbored ill intentions toward me.

After the examination, the doctor explained, "Fortunately, they missed the collarbone. These are just superficial wounds. I'll prescribe an ointment for Mr. Atlas to help you apply. It'll help alleviate the pain, reduce swelling, and promote healing." It was already late when we got home. Neither of us had eaten, and the kitchen was preparing our dinner. Still, Atlas remained solemn. After the meal, we went upstairs, and he insisted on helpingshower. I knew he wanted to examine my injuries.Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt

"It's okay. I can manage myself. It doesn't hurt much now," I said, trying to soothe Atlas's worries.

"Aren't you sore?" He said sternly. I had never seen him so cold before.

"But "I began to protest.

"No buts!" he interrupted and carriedto the bathroom. He then carefully removed my clothes and saw my shoulder. His expression worsened, and I couldn't help but glance at the mirror. I was shocked when I saw a discolored bruise on my shoulder.

Atlas frowned as he adjusted the water temperature and guidedunder the shower. He gently washed me, afraid of causingany more pain. Afterward, he delicately driedand kissed my shoulders, causing a tingling sensation to spread throughout my body.

As I blushed, he lowered his head and kissed me. I hugged him, knowing his heart must be aching from seeinghurt. He said, "Next time, don't stay alone at the office so late." "Okay." I nodded.

Atlas wrappedin the bath towel and then carriedto the bed. "Wait here. I'll be right back." I nodded again. "Okay." He went to wash up and cout before putting on his hclothes and grabbing the ointment. "Here, lethelp you." I almost fell asleep when he liftedand carefully applied the ointment to my shoulder. It felt cool and soothing. When the pain diminished, I hummed softly.

"I never expected that maniac to be so bold. It seems Madison was waiting forin the basement for quite stime. How'd you know I was in there?" I finally remembered to ask him that.Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm

"I went downstairs to wait for you after calling your phone. Your location showed you were constantly moving around the building. When you didn't answmy second call, I knew something was wrong. I rushed over, but your office was closed." I shivered, saying, "Thank goodness I lingered upstairs for a bit, or I would've been in even bigger trouble."

Just then, Atlas's phone rang. He checked it and frowned before m answering Yeah?" I noticed his expression growing severe as he said, "Okay, got it."

After hanging up, he gently kissed my lips, and I hugged him. I knew from his expression that something important had happened. Atlas said, "Go to bed. I have to leave for a bit." "Where are you going?" I looked at him.

He sat on the edge of the bed and smiled at me, saying, "Company business." I looked into his eyes. "You're lying, Atlas."

He continued to gaze atwith his mesmerizing smile. "My men have caught the little Tackey who's watching Rory." I sat upright when I heard that. "Then, I'm coming with you!" X

Beyond The Divorce Chapter 720-Atlas looked atindulgently and then ruffled my hair. "I'll be back soon, sweety. It's so late now. You should get srest, okay?" "No… I want to cwith you. I need to know if Rory's alive. I'll only know if I see him. Don't stop me," I stubbornly said as I threw off the blanket. I was no longer sleepy.

Atlas shook his head and sighed. "All right, change into swarmer clothes. It's chilly outside." I jumped out of bed and crouched to put on my slippers before rushing to the dressing room. My heart pounded, wondering where Rory was or if someone was actually watching him. After getting changed, I trotted out.

Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt Atlas held my hand, and we walked together. I had already grown familiar with the secret passages. When we got into the car, we took one of the tunnels out of Pleca Park.

Although I didn't know if someone was monitoring us outside, the tunnels were a shortcut to the warehouse. It was also Atlas's base. I bombarded him with questions along the way, trying to piece together the puzzle.
