Chapter 183 The Mysterious Man

I was still upset as I drove home after dropping Carol off. Matthew had crossed so many lines that I

vowed to take my revenge one day.novelbin

Also, who

no was that mysterious Mr. Maddox, and how did he know my name? Why did he save me at that exactmoment? There could only be one explanation–someone had asked him to do it.

My thoughts immediately turned to Atlas. I made a U–turn and hurried back to The Cerulean. I parkedmy car in an inconspicuous spot, killed the engine, and watched the entrance.

About half an hour later, I saw Atlas come out. However, to my surprise, Stella was on his arm. Therewas also a tall, middle–aged woman with them. She was impeccably dressed and exuded an air ofarrogance.

When I arrived home, I pulled myself together and forced a smile. My daughter was still awake, andshe excitedly asked me to play with her dolls. It occurred to me that I hadn’t played with her in quite awhile.

Later that night, Ryan called to check if I had reached home safely. I laughed and told him I was aboutto go to sleep. Relieved, he chatted with me for a while before hanging up.

The next day, when I arrived at the office, Carol hurried in. This was unusual, as she had always been

I gave her a quizzical look, and she rushed over to whisper, “Atticus is here to see you

Jeilabeard her, I asked, “Attica?”

Cale, the CEO of Echelon Group

“Where is he?” I found it hard to believe. The CEO of Echelon Group was paying me a visit? How couldi

be possible?

Pointing toward the door, she whispered, “He’s just outside”
