Chapter 235 A Stroke of Luck
I had an idea and casually remarked, “It seems that Matthew’s luck knows no bounds!”
“Absolutely! Otherwise, he’d be in a tough spot. He mentioned during the meeting that he’s focusing onprojects outside the city to avoid competition. Now he’s busy preparing for it.”novelbin
“I heard his mom isn’t doing well,” I said casually.
“Yeah, not too good.” Johnson nodded.
After some small talk, I left the restaurant. My mind was filled with thoughts about Grace. Maybe I hadbeen too stern and shouldn’t harbor ill feelings. However, there wasn’t a single Murphy worthy of pity.
Back at the office, I summoned Grayson. ‘Look into who Matthew contacted after he was attacked.Also, find out which companies are handling projects in Muborough.”
Grayson nodded. “Is there anything wrong?”
I replied, “Matthew secured a contract in Muborough while in the hospital. Find out how he got it,especially who he interacted with during his hospitalization. He went on a business trip right after beingdischarged and returned with the contract,”
Grayson nodded in understanding.
The reason I was interested in Matthew’s contract wasn’t because I wanted to snatch the project. It wasbecause I sensed something was amiss.
It seemed unusual that he could secure a contract while in the hospital. His words about not being ableto compete with “them” intrigued me. I wanted to know who “they” were and their connection with him.
The incident where someone tried to harm me in the past still bothered me, and I wanted to know why.
“Any new developments on Stella’s end?” I asked.

The affair between Atlas and Harmony was still escalating. According to the rumors, they had alreadybeen in contact a month ago, before Christmas.
Some even said that Harmony went to Nocturnia because of this and spent Christmas with Atlas. Inany case, various speculations began.
I doubted the rumor about Harmony going to Nocturnia, especially since it was so close to theanniversary of Atlas’s parents‘ passing. It didn’t seem likely that he would bring a woman to spendChristmas with him then.
I remembered Atlas telling me to trust him no matter what happened. I couldn’t help but chuckle at that
ving to comfort thought. Why was I still thinking about those words now? What was the point? Was Itrying
myself?
I recalled the day at the hot spring resort when I had seen Atlas and Harmony together. There was no
reason for me to seek comfort now.
Watching them enter the luxurious room, a man and a woman alone…
I threw the phone hard on the table, turned around, and left the office. I went to see Ryan.
Ryan set aside what he was working on and walked over. “Should I have them bring you a glass ofwater?”
“No need. I had some water in my office just now,” I said as I sat on the sofa. “Ryan, I have an idea.What do you think about bringing your parents over for the New Year? We can celebrate together withboth our
families.”
