Chapter 535 I Have Something to Say I fell silent for a moment. "I can't help but notice that whenever Stella comes up, you evade it. Are you reluctant to deal with her, or do you have other plans?" I knew saying this might irritate him, but I couldn't help it. I just didn't understand why. Amidst the kidnapping, the incident with Harmony's fans, and the orchestrated chaos, all signs pointed to Stella. Yet Atlas always seemed to brush it off.
He seemed to downplay the severity of the situation. His explanations left me dissatisfied.
She returned to Nocturnia immediately after her last scheme failed, This time,

Atlas gently patted me and chuckled softly, which only fueled my frustration. However, I held back from letting it escalate too far.
Ilooked at Atlas and said, "I feel she wanted to tell me something. When we boarded the ship, her words seemed calculated, but the moment she laid eyes on you, she immediately changed her tune," Atlas gazed at me thoughtfully. I had deliberately brought this up.
"So, tonight, I wanted to meet with
her. I'm convinced she lured me there with this excuse for a reason. I believe she truly had something she wanted to tell me." "It's unlikely this was solely her plan.
Since they intended to frame Carina, it suggests Liora was involved too," Atlas added. "Originally, it was just a diversion. It seems Liora wanted to deal with Carina." We were growing more and more in sync, much like now. We didn't need to say much but knew what the other thought. It brought me a sense of comfort.
"Right now, they're working closely together," I told Atlas. "And I've noticed something about Trinity. This woman is smart, not what I initially thought!"
"How do you mean?” Atlas asked, interested.

Atlas scoffed. "This woman doesn't play by the rules. There's no need to commend her!" "On that point, I agree. After all, she's the current head of the Huffman family," I admitted, taking Atlas's warning to heart. ""A woman who carries the Huffman family must be extraordinary." "If I had to give them labels, Trinity is playing by the book, while Liora is nothing but trouble," Atlas sneered.
"That's exactly what I think! In today's events, Liora was worried about Mia's words in the afternoon. She feared being exposed as the one who brought Carina on board." "You give them too much credit. They can't handle such intricate strategies.
But today, the pressure got to her," Atlas mused, toying with my hand.
I smiled slightly and continued, "Liora fears what Mia said is true. Cutting off all business ties would be equivalent to burying her alive. But, from this, it's clear that she didn't bring Carina on board with good intentions." Atlas also smiled, pinching my nose.
"Hmph! If I have the chance tomorrow, I'll enact a little plan of my own," I'said through gritted teeth,
already planning the plan in my mind.
"Then, have your fun. I'm here to support you. These women are just asking for trouble. They want to test my patience, so let them try!" Atlas's tone turned dark, his words filled with foreboding. "But remember, when I'm not around, take care of yourself. Don't act recklessly. Use your wits, got it?" I looked at him and smiled. "Do you blame me for always stirring up trouble?" "I do! But they are the troublemakers, not you. So, hit them hard. Don't give them a moment's peace. That's my principle," Atlas called me out. "When someone challenges you, assert your dominance!
"Do you know Stella targeted Annalise at the orphanage? She was the one who pushed Annalise off the cliff." && I sat up abruptly, shocked, and looked at Atlas in disbelief. "What do you mean? She's the true culprit behind Annalise's fall off the cliff?"
