Ambulances, fire trucks, and police cars rushed from all directions toward the exploding construction site.Noah was already there when we got to the site, and various news media swarmed in, instantly surrounding the construction site.Although the explosions had stopped, smoke still billowed, and the scent of explosives lingered. Amidst the haze, all I could see was rubble.I grabbed hold of a foreman on the site and asked loudly, "Are there any casualties?""It's still unclear at the moment. The bomb squad won't let anyone near. They are afraid there might be more bombs!" The foreman said, "However, we've notified the person responsible for this building to start counting their people. We believe we'll have a tally soon!"The exploded construction site had already erected a 12-story framework. The original plan was for a 23-story building. The explosion started from the eighth floor, followed by two more blasts on the third floor, causing the stairwell frame to collapse complete

Due to the impact of the explosion on New Bourdamun, even I had somewhat forgotten about Atticus.When the survey concluded, and other projects in New Bourdamun resumed normal operations, we prepared to return to Foswood. This time, the security measures at the construction sites were significantly enhanced, jointly managed by ATL Empire, Tanum, and the authorities.After arranging everything, Atlas and I returned to Foswood. Although there were still many things to deal with, we didn't have to spend every day at the construction site. However, as the main person in charge, I was restricted from leaving the country and had to suspend work.I delegated all affairs to Ryan.On the way back, when we talked about clearing the scene, Atlas suddenly said to me, "Someone has taken over the abandoned building project on Celestis Island.""Who?" I looked at Atlas and asked, surprised by how quickly things moved."Denton," Atlas said confidently.I was even more surprised. This was comple

At noon, Arnold, who hadn't visited for a long time, brought Hana to Pleca Park. As soon as Arnold entered the yard, he ran over and plopped down beside me. "Hey! Have you missed me?"I glanced at Hana, who was already being sweetly attended to but not far away, and scoffed. "You're so distracted. Why would I miss you?"Arnold laughed uproariously and lay back on the lounge chair, looking at Hana. "She's your sister, after all. I've always said if you have a sister, I won't miss the opportunity."It seemed their relationship was becoming more stable.My eyes narrowed, and I asked him, "When did you find out she was my sister?"Arnold glanced at me. "When she was on vacation."I stared at Arnold, feeling resentment bubbling up inside me."I heard she was on vacation, so I checked where she went. I wanted to follow her, but found out that she went to Yare, back to the Avila family! I told Atlas, and we confirmed that she was part of the Avila family, a princess of Yare."Arnold

I snorted confidently. "Otherwise? I refuse to believe it. Our project proposal underwent nearly a year of scrutiny, deliberation, field research, and data analysis before it was finalized."It was also polished by top-notch economic planners. A plan like that cannot be discarded. I'll definitely grill Noah about this, so it’s crucial for us to get hold of their proposal.""But can't they come up with one as well?" Lauren looked at me with some skepticism.I retorted coldly, "If their proposal resembles ours, that’ll be a different story altogether. I have absolute confidence in our plan.""But they’re from the Morgan family!" Lauren hesitated."So what?" I countered, glancing at Lauren. "I won't back down. Don't forget, I've put nearly a year of effort into this. I can't just give up now."Taking a leaf out of Atlas's book, I added with determination, "After all, I'm a businessman. Besides, the Morgan family’s just trying to steal my project. They're acting like vultures."Laur

The tranquil and serene atmosphere of Pleca Park was suddenly disrupted by a horde of frenzied reporters, disturbing the peace.They surged forward incessantly, snapping photos and causing a commotion, while the security guards tried to keep them at bay. The noisy chaos alarmed everyone.Security at the Pleca Park had always been top-notch, with strong confidentiality measures in place. Outsiders usually couldn't approach us. How did those people manage to get in?When Ardie saw the situation, he stood up and commanded, "Let's head to the backyard."At his command, we all rose and headed toward the garden.Ivanna, who had been sitting quietly in the courtyard, suddenly called out timidly, "Lauren."Both Lauren and I turned to look at her, noticing that her expression seemed off. She was cradling her stomach carefully.Lauren also noticed something was amiss and hurried over to her, asking, "How do you feel, Ivanna? Are you alright?"I quickly joined them, and Ivanna, biting her
