Chapter 320 Exposed
Suddenly, a commotion erupted outside the room as I lifted the blanket. I instinctively turned to seewhat was happening while gripping the blanket. To my surprise, Kenzie appeared before me withseveralnovelbin
attendants.
I realized that I had been exposed. Kenzie and I locked eyes, and then I turned back to Atlas. Since Ihad already come this far, I was determined to see things through.
I saw Atlas’s leg in a cast and several bandages indicating unhealed wounds. One of his arms was alsoin a cast, and just seeing his condition was heart–wrenching. Soon after, I pulled the blanket further.
My tears welled as I glanced at Atlas, saying, “Please wake up soon.”
“Ms. Chloe, you’re bold,” Kenzie commented coldly. She remained rooter as she watched me.
I couldn’t help but chuckle as I retracted my gaze from Atlas. I stood upright and wiped my tears beforeturning to Kenzie. I copied her detachment, saying, “That’s enough. I can do whatever I want. I don’tthink
I’m bold. I wanted to see my friend, so I did.”
“How dare you barge in here without permission?” Kenzie glared at me, her tone cold and ruthless.
“Again, I don’t need permission.” I challenged Kenzie, looking at her defiantly. “What are yourintentions? Was it necessary to make such a fuss? I just came to see my friend.”
Kenzie seemed uninterested in arguing further. She kept her arrogant posture and said, “Escort Ms.Chloe

The two froze as I glanced back at the still–motionless Atlas. My heart felt heavy as I whispered, “I’m
leaving for now.”
knew a further confrontation wouldn’t benefit anyone. As I was about to leave, someone who should’vebeen at the party rushed into the room. It was Stella. Her demeanor changed when she saw me.
She then stomped toward me and slapped me. Stella glared at me, saying “You have no shamel Youknow he’s not yours, yet you challenge my patience, I knew you had ulterior motives when you left.”
Surprisingly, the pain from the slap calmed me. It seemed I had underestimated Stella for being so
vigilant toward me. It
I palmed my stinging cheek and looked at her. “You finally dropped the act. I like your currentdemeanor instead. It’s much better than your previous pretentiousness. Whether or not you have thepatience is your
problem. Whether I see him or not is mine.”
I showed no fear as I watched her. I suddenly realized that she was horrid.
“You should calm down,” I continued, “I’ve recorded everything here. If you lose control and hurt me, I’llmake it public. Don’t you see how different we are? You prefer secrecy, while I prefer transparency.
Remember this slap because you’ll have to repay it someday.”
Stella stepped closer, her voice trembling with rage. “You’re asking for trouble! Who do you think youare?
I’ve been too lenient with you since you’re acting so recklessly. Since you insist on challenging me,don’t blame me for retaliating!”
“Guards!”
“I dare you!
