The Trigger of the Incident


    The news, to be honest, left me quite unsettled. I immediately sought out Atticus for more details.


    Atticus’s tone was grave. “Yes, I just got this information and called you immediately. I hope you’re


    mentally prepared. Be extra cautious with the projects at ATL Empire. If possible, it’s best to disengage


    from them. This way, you can cut your losses in time.”

    I quickly pulled the car over to the side of the road, listening intently to his call.


    “Why would they want to rece Nick?” I found it hard to believe this news.


    After all, Nick had been with the Torado headquarters for so long, and his reputation was excellent..


    Moreover, he had been under As’s father’s leadership.


    That was why he had put so much effort into supporting As. Even when we first met, I mistook As


    for


    his assistant.


    How could Celine dare to go after Nick? My heart raced, and I couldn’t help but wonder if my actions


    had


    affected Nick.


    After all, Celine was a schemer and narrow–minded.


    If Nick had secretly helped me, it would have contradicted her orders. Could this be the catalyst for


    Celine’s decision to rece Nick?


    The more I thought about it, the more uncertain I felt. My breath becamebored. This was precisely


    what


    Nick had feared, and it seemed he was right.


    When I went to see As and was discovered by Ste, the phone call I made to him afterward had


    hinted at Nick’s displeasure.


    At the time, I hadn’t dwelled on it too much.


    “Chloe, in the time I’ve known you, I can tell you’re capable. You’d make a good partner. So… I have


    hight hopes for you I don’t want you to get caught up in their mess. It wouldn’t be worth it!”


    In the call, Atticus’s tone was sincere. I felt quite touched.


    Although I’ve also heard about your situation with As. But whether it’s true or not, considering you’re


    navigating this industry, it’s better to ensure your interests first! The rest…


    He didn’t finish the sentence, and I knew what he would say,


    Thank you, Mr. Atticus! I hurriedly expressed my gratitude


    I was genuinely thankful to Atticus for this. Whatever his intentions were in making this call, I felt this


    information was crucial.


    He hung up shortly after. I sat in the car for a long time, contemting.


    I trusted Atticus, and since he was the source of this information, it had to be correct. I couldn’t help but


    me myself. This situation was caused by my stubbornness.


    1 steadied my anxious thoughts and mulled over the situation. If ATL Empire changed leadership,


    would it send shockwaves through the Torado headquarters?


    If Celine took charge in this crisis and reced Nick with her confidant, no one dared defy her wishes.


    As was unconscious, after all. This would be her way of reiming the power that As had worked


    so


    hard to regain.


    Even if she didn’t seize significant authority, it would pose a potential threat to him once he woke up.


    I raised my hand and pped myself for being too impulsive.


    Why did I have to see As at this critical time? If anything were to go wrong, how would I exin it to


    him once he woke up?


    I gripped the phone tightly, unsure of what to do. I wanted to call Nick, but what would I say?


    I didn’t realize how long I had been sitting in the car until Carol called me. She had been searching for


    me everywhere. I realized I had been gone for too long!


    Carol informed me that Ryan had returned, so I restarted the car to return to the office.
