Beyond the Divorce

Nathan didn't beat around the bush after everyone was seated. He expressed his hopes for Atlas in this region and the general direction they wanted to collaborate on.

Atlas listened without offering too many opinions. Dylan was replaced by Cane, who listened attentively.

Atlas only mentioned that these projects needed a comprehensive assessment and that any investment must yield returns.

Nathan seemed aware of my identity, smiling as he looked at me, asking for my impression of this place.

As I was thinking about how to respond, Atlas gave me an affectionate smile and said, "My wife is mainly involved in a project with Jaxford Doors. Perhaps you've heard about it, Mr. Nathan.

"The construction project in Bourdamun is under her management, and she has decided to use the high-end doors from Gerby's Jaxford Doors as the flagship doors for the new area."

The mayor of Gerby immediately became enthusiastic. "Indeed, we have several large enterprises in Gerby doing very well. Jaxford Doors, Chandler's Dairy, Henderson Group, and others are outstanding companies."

When he mentioned Chandler's Dairy, I smiled subtly.

Atlas sat there lazily, glanced at the mayor, and said, "Actually, my wife has another important matter to attend to during this visit."

"If Mrs. Chloe needs us to do something, we will do our best to help." The mayor immediately pledged.

"I came to visit an ex-classmate," I spoke up.

"Oh, so you have an ex-classmate here?" Nathan asked with a smile.

Atlas smiled. "This classmate of hers is hard to meet. I also came for this matter."

Nathan became interested. "Why? What makes it so hard? Do you need our help?"

"Yes. Without your help, it would be hard to meet her," Atlas said with a hint of sarcasm.

"How so?"

Atlas glanced at everyone present, and Nathan immediately understood what he meant, leaving only the mayor behind while asking others to step out.

Atlas then recounted the entire story to Nathan and Gerby's mayor.

After listening, Nathan slammed the table. "Such audacity! I can't believe there's such a thing under my

jurisdiction. It's outrageous.

Investigate thoroughly. I'll personally

handle it this time."

to

His words shocked me. Now I understood why Atlas rushed to Gerby overnight. No wonder he confidently said there was no storm he couldn't shield me from. Arnold, who had been silent on the other side, suddenly said, "Mr. Nathan, may I make a request?"

Nathan nodded at Arnold and said, "Go ahead. It's rare to see you making a request."

With these words, it was evident they knew each other.

"I want to hand over this matter to my classmate, Sean Manning, a cop in Gerby. I trust no one else." Arnold was straightforward in his request. The mayor was a little embarrassed.

Arnold continued, "I'm afraid

of

someone from their team might be within your management team, sot must seek your approval. A special case requires special handling We'll investigate thoroughly. If there's a leak of information, we must not be the one who leaks the information!"

"Alright. I approve. Tomorrow, have Officer Sean report to my office."

"He's here." Arnold promptly added.

"Bring him to see me immediately." Nathan seemed genuinely angry now, pointing at the major and saying, "You have hidden some great people here!" The mayor, perhaps never expecting such a disaster, turned pale.

At that moment, Sean walked in, exuding an imposing aura. The discussion continued into the late night, while the networking had long ended.

Sean had done a lot of research on

the matter, but his decision was not to alert the enemy. He planned to conduet undercover work first to gather solid evidence before taking action. NôvelDrama.Org exclusive content.

Although I was still eager to rescue Beatrice, it wasn't the ideal time. The law required evidence.
