Atlas completely ignored her cries, still focused on Tyler. "You want more? Go on.”In this manner, three bottles were emptied in succession. Tyler, with a 'gulp,' knelt on the ground. He looked like he was about to bow down to Atlas, but he passed out drunk.Then, Atlas glanced meaningfully at Benedict, asking, "Benedict, care for a taste too?"Benedict had already been frightened, retreating without the arrogance he displayed toward me earlier.Seeing Atlas asking if he wanted to drink, he retreated further, nervously mumbling and not knowing what to say. Atlas said indifferently, "Cheers to Benedict.”The attendant quickly opened another bottle of vodka. Benedict stammered, "I-I'll drink myself.”After saying that, he took the bottle and poured its contents down his throat. He was spilling it everywhere, but we wouldn’t know if it was because he was nervous or doing it deliberately.Atlas sneered, "How wasteful. Continue. Drink as much as you spilled.”Benedict reluctantly

While showering, my mind wandered. There had been no news from Johnson regarding Matthew's current situation, and I wondered if they had met with Adrian. Then there was Liora. Despite the constant online buzz about her misdeeds and Melvern coming to discuss cooperation, she seemed to have disappeared.However, I knew she was doing something in the dark.After I came out of the shower, I dried my hair and sent a message to Ivanna.Ivanna had been quite elusive ever since Jared returned. They seemed to have vanished into thin air, leaving things calm. Still, I worried about Trinity.I couldn't find any information about Trinity’s situation in Yare. After contemplating for a long time, I realized I wasn't sure what I was thinking about. It was just a chaotic mess.As I pondered these issues, Ivanna called."Why aren't you asleep yet?" she asked bluntly."Why ask me? Aren't you the one who should be getting more rest? I only sent a message to avoid disturbing your rest. It looks l

"If I were interested, I could have taken over Ardora long ago," I scoffed. "I have better things to do."Atticus chuckled. "Looks like Matthew has woken up. This is a good thing, at least for you.""Yes, you're right,” I said calmly, suddenly remembering something. I smiled and told Atticus, "I want to tell you something. The follow-up design for San Cosbech is in progress!”Atticus laughed. "I was right.""It seems you understand your opponent well. I can rest easy now."After chatting for a while, we hung up. Carol walked in again and poured me a cup of coffee."Don't forget about the cocktail party today, Chloe.""What cocktail party?""The business networking event for the second half of the year," Carol reminded me."Oh," I replied unenthusiastically. "I won't go. It won’t benefit us. It's a waste of time, and I need to go home and spend time with Ava tonight.""But I have news that Liora will be attending," Carol said.I suddenly perked up. "She's going?""Yes," Caro

Liora's attire today was elegant, and the cast on her hand had been removed. She appeared calm, as if the criticism online didn't bother her at all. Her face showed no signs of embarrassment or guilt, and she seemed to have treated the insults as if they were directed at someone else.On the other hand, Vicky carried herself with arrogance.As she entered, she greeted the members of the socialite circle confidently.Then, she headed straight for a tall and elegant woman. Her back was turned to me, but her graceful silhouette and well-defined curves were visible. She had neatly coiled black hair with a few pearl accessories interspersed among it, creating a charming look.This hairstyle was not very common nowadays, but she managed to make it seem elegant and stylish, emphasizing her slender neck. Two pearl earrings dangled from her ears, adding a touch of charm to her overall appearance.Unfortunately, I couldn't see her face, but judging by her figure, she seemed to be a beauty

Suddenly, a figure appeared before us, swift as lightning. Before we could understand what was going on, a crisp sound resounded in our ears.The next moment, I saw Lauren holding her face. She shouted angrily, "What are you doing?"I quickly grasped the situation and stepped forward, challenging the woman. "Who do you think you are? How dare you hit someone like this? Are you out of your mind?"I glanced at Lauren's face, which was already swollen.Lauren pushed me aside and stepped forward, glaring at the woman who stood with hands on her hips."What are you doing? How dare you slap me?" Lauren questioned angrily.“What’s wrong with you?" The woman retorted arrogantly.She appeared to be around forty, and she had a plump figure. The once stylish dress now looked like a lifebuoy on her, and despite her carefully done makeup, she couldn’t hide the flaws on her face. She was clearly a troublemaker.I looked at the woman. My patience was wearing thin. "Why are you causing a scene
