So, you understand what I meant when I called you clever, Celine said. A moment later, she droppedher smile. “Leave Atlas.”
“You should ask his opinion first,” I replied firmly.
I don’t need to ask him. He will accept it if you leave,” Celine spoke confidently, “You’re intelligent, kind,patient, and ambitious. I see great potential in you and can help expand your company to achieve yourgoals. I can also support your daughter’s education at any overseas institution you choose, but hecan’t.”
“Why?”
My question annoyed her. “Why? He’s not an ordinary person. Atlas wants to head ATL Empire, so hemust adhere to the family rules. Even without Stella, the family would have complete control of his life.
“He has no privileges or freedom of choice!” Her words were ruthless, “He can’t forget Annalise Synder,even if he loves you, a divorcee with a daughter. Atlas was madly in love with Annalise. Ultimately, heonly has two options: whether to give up or compromise.”
Hearing Annalise’s name made me uneasy. I wondered if she was the same woman Stella had
mentioned. It was evident she had a significant connection with Atlas.
Celine continued, “You have no choice either. The Pierce family doesn’t accept outsiders inheriting ourwealth and assets. You can propose your terms, and I’ll fulfill them.
She spoke confidently. I was just ordinary, so her demeanor was even more intimidating.
“You can consider your terms and keep these photos as a souvenir. I believe you’ll like them. Kenzie,show her out!” Celine got up and headed upstairs without letting me speak

the sharp–witted woman who had called me to the Design Division. It seemed Celine had investigatedme for a while now. I knew I couldn’t escape the situation.
My mind began to clear as I left the club. Celine’s words carried significant information, and herintentions were clear. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have pictures of my family. She also emphasized having
professionals take them.
Celine gave me the pictures as a reminder, not just casually. That woman was ruthless.
Some of the pictures were candid close–ups of Ava and my mom. They included shots inside the
kindergarten, on a public bus, and even inside my home. The person who took them seemed to be
everywhere, which was unsettling.

pulled over to the side, too agitated to drive. I took the pictures and examined them again, growingIncreasingly uneasy. I knew Celine had experience with this. She wanted to remind me of her intentions
constantly
I tried to plece together what I knew about Celine, but I had little to go on apart from Stella’s littleInformation. However, my gut feeling told me she was ruthless.
I couldn’t tell Atlas because it could hurt both sides if he confronted her. After all, Atlas had just takenover the ATL Empire, and his foundation was not yet stable.
Despite Atlas taking over, Stella said Celine was still pulling the strings. It indicated that Celine’s oldnetwork was formidable and loyal. I needed to gather more information about her history with ATL
Empire.
I sat in the car to calm my emotions and thoughts. Finally, I started the car and headed back. Suddenly,I sensed a car following me and wondered if it was someorfe Celine had hired.
