Chapter 206 A Strong Woman
So, you understand what I meant when I called you clever, Celine said. A moment later,
she dropped her smile. “Leave Atlas.”
“You should ask his opinion first,” I replied firmly.
I don’t need to ask him. He will accept it if you leave,” Celine spoke confidently, “You’re
intelligent, kind, patient, and ambitious. I see great potential in you and can help expand
your company to achieve your goals. I can also support your daughter’s education at any
overseas institution you choose, but he can’t.”
“Why?”
My question annoyed her. “Why? He’s not an ordinary person. Atlas wants to head ATL
Empire, so he must adhere to the family rules. Even without Stella, the family would have
complete control of his life.

Annalise Synder, even if he loves you, a divorcee with a daughter. Atlas was madly in love
with Annalise. Ultimately, he only has two options: whether to give up or compromise.”
Hearing Annalise’s name made me uneasy. I wondered if she was the same woman Stella
had
mentioned. It was evident she had a significant connection with Atlas.
Celine continued, “You have no choice either. The Pierce family doesn’t accept outsiders
inheriting our wealth and assets. You can propose your terms, and I’ll fulfill them.
She spoke confidently. I was just ordinary, so her demeanor was even more intimidating.
“You can consider your terms and keep these photos as a souvenir. I believe you’ll like
them. Kenzie, show her out!” Celine got up and headed upstairs without letting me speak
Kenzie was t
the sharp–witted woman who had called me to the Design Division. It seemed Celine had
investigated me for a while now. I knew I couldn’t escape the situation.
My mind began to clear as I left the club. Celine’s words carried significant information,
and her intentions were clear. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have pictures of my family. She
also emphasized having
professionals take them.
Celine gave me the pictures as a reminder, not just casually. That woman was ruthless.
Some of the pictures were candid close–ups of Ava and my mom. They included shots
inside the
kindergarten, on a public bus, and even inside my home. The person who took them
seemed to be
everywhere, which was unsettling.

pulled over to the side, too agitated to drive. I took the pictures and examined them
again, growing Increasingly uneasy. I knew Celine had experience with this. She wanted to
remind me of her intentions
constantly
I tried to plece together what I knew about Celine, but I had little to go on apart from
Stella’s little Information. However, my gut feeling told me she was ruthless.
I couldn’t tell Atlas because it could hurt both sides if he confronted her. After all, Atlas had
just taken over the ATL Empire, and his foundation was not yet stable.
Despite Atlas taking over, Stella said Celine was still pulling the strings. It indicated that
Celine’s old network was formidable and loyal. I needed to gather more information about
her history with ATL
Empire.
I sat in the car to calm my emotions and thoughts. Finally, I started the car and headed
back. Suddenly, I sensed a car following me and wondered if it was someorfe Celine had
hired.
