NovelEnglishChapter 399 Someone’s Investigating Hartz Construction Grayson shared something that left me anxious. His tone was solemn, and | could sense danger, “Chloe, someone’s investigating Hartz Construction.” “When did this happen?” | asked.
“Just a moment ago. Someone tried to infiltrate Hartz Construction’s system, but we detected it and reinforced the security. They can’t make any further attempts now. But from this, we can confirm someone wants to investigate the company,” Grayson stated with certainty.
“Can’t we find out who it is?” | asked, wondering who was snooping around Hartz Construction so suddenly.
“They withdrew too quickly, and we couldn’t catch any leads in time,” Grayson regretfully said.

“Oh, | encountered a man when | removed my cast today. If I'm not mistaken, he was involved in my kidnapping.” | explained to Grayson.
He cautioned me, “It seems someone is investigating us. Chloe, be cautious from now on. I'll have my people look into it and inquire about the results from the last time Dylan and his team were investigating. We must stay on guard when someone lurks in the shadows.”
“Yeah, keep me informed of any updates,” | told Grayson, “As for Hartz Construction, we should maintain secrecy for a while longer. It won't be long before | execute my plan.” | thought it wouldn't matter if the other party found out about Hartz Construction once | had everything in place.
After ending the call with Grayson, | entered the private room, where Ryan gestured for me to sit. We continued our unfinished discussion from the office during dinner. The experts at the table helped clarify my thoughts with their valuable insights.
There was still a long road ahead to transition successfully, but the increased confidence | gained was immeasurable. Privately, Ryan said the competition for phase two of Avalon Hills had intensified. He
“Are you suggesting Liora orchestrated the leak?” | asked Ryan.
He nodded, “That's most likely.” Is Atticus also in the race?” | asked, remembering what Atticus had said at Vanderberg Palace that day.
“Not just Atticus, Atlas is also competing.” Ryan affirmed.
“Do we still stand a chance?” | felt slightly uncertain and looked at Ryan for reassurance.

We must at least develop an effective plan that suits us.” I nodded in understanding. | could grasp Ryan's determination.
“Joyce is strongly recommending us, so we still have a chance. Even if we don’t get the main construction project, we'll fight for the interior desi The acknowledgment and naming rights we got from ATL Empire is a great foundation for us.” B Ryan’s words left me with a hint of doubt. Obtaining the naming rights so quickly at this critical moment seemed too smooth.
Yet it was my spontaneous decision to propose the demanding conditions to ATL Empire. | hadn’t expected Atlas to agree to my request so readily.
Essentially, it was like Tanum Corporation had received a free publicity opportunity. It ATL Empire’s Design Division was initially supposed to handle the interior design. However, they withdrew after we secured the cooperation. It allowed us to design and construct it ourselves. Although they still had approval authority, our decision—making power had increased.
As | pondered if Atlas intended this, | shook my head. He had no reason to support me in such a way. My optimism might've been too much, but everything went too smoothly.
After all, the naming rights from ATL Empire effectively tied us to them, binding Tanum Corporation as their subsidiary. We would either rise or fall together. Why would he do this for me? I quickly dispelled these thoughts, reminding myself not to overanalyze the situation. The road ahead wast still my own to pave.
