Beyond The Divorce - Season 9 Episode 21

Atlas contemplated, then looked at me. “It’s cruel. There might be people investigating, and someone may move on her. They may seize the opportunity to dispose of the heiress and establish a new faction.” His words made my heart leap into my throat.

“Don’t worry, Jared is still there.”

“But currently, he can’t find Trinity either, right?” I looked at Atlas and countered, “And Trinity is alone.”

“Although we haven’t found her yet, his people are not to be trifled with. As soon as there’s a hint of movement, it’s equivalent to finding her. If Trinity is in danger, Jared will take action, or Trinity herself will act, and that will change the outcome. You can rest assured.”

Atlas let go of me, took off his coat, and said, “I’ll shower. It’s too hot!”

The phone rang just as he was about to go to the bathroom.

He paused, took out his phone to check, and quickly answered it. After listening for a while, he only said, “I got it!”

He hung up the phone and said, “I’ll go shower. Wait for me.”

I knew he still wanted to continue our conversation. He casually placed the phone on the sofa and went into the bathroom.

I hung up his clothes and checked the time. It was already late. Then, I tidied up the bed and lay down, waiting for him.

He showered quickly, and in no time, he came out. As he dried his hair, he said, “About the call just now, they’ve confirmed the identity of the deceased in Bourdamun.” “Huh? They found out?” I sat up straight, looking at him.

He wiped his wet hair while looking at me. “This person is from Tarnstead, has a criminal record, hasn’t returned home for many years, and has been keeping himself busy in Foswood.

“A couple of months ago, his mother fell seriously ill and needed money. Suddenly, he was sent a considerable sum to treat his mother. They’re suspecting it’s a bribe.” “How did they confirm he was bribed?” I asked eagerly.

“It just happened that the number used for payments matched the one used to transfer the money. This indicates that their mastermind is the same person.” Atlas paused and said, “It also raises another question. This incident ruled out our speculations. It doesn’t seem to be from an organization or involve Denton!” “But I clearly saw a person with a snake tattoo in the elevator!” I looked at him with a puzzled expression.

He walked over and sat on the edge of the bed. I saw that his hair was still quite wet. I got up, took the towel from his hands, and helped him dry his hair. After a while, I reached out to comb his thick, dark hair.

He reached out to embrace my body, and with a gentle tone, he said, “There’s a simple explanation to this.”

I stopped my hands, looked at him, and asked, “What do you mean?”

He took the towel from my hands, threw it into the laundry basket, and walked back. Then, he lifted the thin quilt on the bed and embraced me before explaining, “You’re not wrong, but it doesn’t rule out the possibility of diverting our attention.”

I sat up straight. “You’re right! He reached out from behind me, pressed the button, and your speculation is entirely possible.”

Atlas smiled, quickly pulled me back

into his embrace, and then said, “Our multiple investigations have not found anyone from an organization in Bourdamun. Moreover, Dylan’s investigation that day was very thorough, and we didn’t find anyone matching the physical

characteristics you mentioned.”

“That’s a problem,” I affirmed. “But he definitely appeared in the elevator on the fifteenth floor.”

“We checked all the guests on the

fifteenth floor and found no trace of

this person. This indicates a

problem. It doesn’t rule out that after

he got off the elevator, he took off

his coat in a blind spot in the

surveillance and slipped away,” Atlas

said as he played with my hair.

I looked at him. “So our suspicions are confirmed. It’s still someone familiar around us! The audacity!”

In my mind, I couldn’t help but think of what Johnson told me. “Since she came back from Bourdamun, she hasn’t been to the company much!”

Could it be her?
