Chapter 353 From the Top Floor
At that moment, Celine decided on a second–best option and relinquished all operational rights to ATLEmpire. She imposed one condition–Atlas had to marry Stella on a date of her choosing
After the wedding, they could merge the Pierce Corporation with the ATL Empire, and she would retire.
She didn’t expect Atlas to refuse in front of all the shareholders. He wouldn’t accept Celine’s proposal,he wouldn’t marry Stella, and he wouldn’t integrate the Pierce Corporation.
Instead, he permanently handed over the Pierce Corporation to Celine, firmly closing the door to anyfurther involvement between the two companies.
This left Celine in shock. She never anticipated that Atlas would be so unwavering.
In other words, the ATL Empire completely severed ties with the Pierce Corporation and emerged asan independent entity. I understood why Atlas chose to establish the headquarters of ATL Empire inJitador
rather than Nocturnia.
Celine had no further connection to ATL Empire. She was no longer considered a business partner,and she was so furious, that she was hospitalized.
However, there were rumors that she did this deliberately, as it was the best way for her to leave.
Time flew by quickly, and half a month had passed without realizing it. The sensational events
surrounding the ATL Empire had settled down. I received notice to visit ATL Empire’s project departme
to discuss contract matters.
Timothy, Celine’s hire, had only been manager of the Torado headquarters for a little more than twentydays. With Celine’s failure, he was swiftly removed from his position, rendering all his actions void.
The previous resolutions were reinstated, meaning all the contracts we had previously signed with ATLEmpire would be valid again. We just needed to re–sign them.
I was extremely nervous about this visit. It was the first time I would see Atlas in half a month, and Iwas. uncertain how to face him or what to say. I brought Carol and the legal team with me becausehandling
these business matters professionally was a priority.novelbin
Upon arriving at ATL Empire, I hoped to encounter Atlas but was disappointed. The head of the projectdepartment managed the entire process. I didn’t even see Nick
After settling everything, I left with a sense of reluctance and longing, feeling let down that I hadn’t seen

In the elevator, I ran into someone I hadn’t anticipated–Harmony.
She seemed just as surprised as I was and flashed a carefree smile. “Ms. Chloe, long time no see!”
I forced a composed nod. “Yeah, it’s been a while.”
My heart was frantic, wondering why Harmony was here alone. She appeared to have come from oneof the upper floors, which raised questions. She hadn’t brought her assistant or manager.
“Chloe! Aren’t you going to ask me what I’m doing here?”
Harmony was Harmony, always wearing her emotions on her sleeve. She freely expressed her joy and
contentment.
I gave a cold snort. “Isn’t this your boyfriend’s company? You have every right to be here.”
Harmony could walk in and out of his office without much fuss. It seemed that Atlas wasn’t as busy as I
had imagined.
“Oh! By the way, are you coming to the reception tonight?”
I furrowed my brows slightly. Reception? What reception?
“You do know about it, right?” Harmony asked, noticing my puzzled expression. “You didn’t receive an
invitation?
The elevator reached the first floor just in time, and I stepped out, pretending not to pay much attentionto her. Nevertheless, my mind was in turmoil, trying to understand the game Atlas was playing.
