I snapped out of my thoughts, took out my phone and dialed Atlas's number. However, the call went straight to voicemail.
A tight knot formed in my chest, and a suspicion immediately flashed through my mind.
This suspicion made me uneasy. I quickly tried Dylan's number, only to discover that his phone had also been turned off.
My palms became sweaty instantly, and a thought crossed my mind. Could Atlas have already set out?
Just as I was pondering this, my phone rang. Glancing at the screen, I saw that it was a call from Johnson. I worried that receiving a call at this hour couldn't be good news.
"Chloe, we lost Ardora." Johnson sounded disheartened.
My grip on the phone tightened. It happened too soon.
"We just finished the meeting. Liora has completely taken over Ardora and will not be responsible for any of Ardora's previous projects. She has taken over all the new projects, though." "Got it." Although everything was within my expectations, I had to admit Liora's actions were swift and efficient.
"She has received a substantial investment from an overseas investor, and she seems determined to succeed," Johnson reminded me. "Once she kicks off the project, she'll be unstoppable." "Got it." I still repeated the exact words.
Seeing my response, Johnson seemed a bit disheartened.
"I have a plan, so you can rest assured. Focus on collecting the information and consult Adrian about it. You need to be prepared to defend our case." I instructed Johnson. "I'm afraid she might change the entire team anytime."
After taking over Ardora, Liora would likely target Johnson, whom Matthew had transferred from Tanum to Ardora.
"I know. I'm prepared for it."
Johnson's response satisfied me. After hanging up the phone, I paced back and forth in the room. Finally, I decided to call Trinity.
After conveying my intentions to her, she said, "Don't worry. I'll make her restless after tomorrow's banquet." Sᴇaʀ*ᴄh the FindNʘᴠᴇl.nᴇt website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.
"Hurry up and get her hooked! I no longer want to deal with her to avoid further changes in our plans." I instructed Trinity over the phone. "Just trust me," Trinity confidently replied.
I knew Trinity was always a strategic thinker.
