Chapter 651 A Sin
I pursed my lips and muttered, "You're so cunning." He grinned, revealing a set of pearly white teeth.
"It's necessary to confirm everything. I was planning to reclaim the operational rights of ATL Empire. Even if it's just a shell, it's my parent's legacy. I had to bring it back and make it flourish right under her nose. That would be the most powerful blow against her."
I went to boil a pot of tea and poured a cup for Atlas.
After taking a sip of tea, he pulled me back into his embrace, showing no intention of letting me go.
He continued, "After that, I investigated your background and arranged for people to monitor you closely. Our airport encounter wasn't a coincidence. That's how I found out about the hardships you've been enduring."
My jaw almost dropped. "The airport wasn't a chance meeting?"
He chuckled. "Of course not. I intentionally got close to you. When you were injured, I took you to the hospital and conducted a thorough examination. The DNA from your blood sample matched perfectly. The location of the injury matched the investigation results. Any doubts left?"
His eyes were filled with a warm hint of pride.
"So, you planned this for a long time?" I found it hard to believe. "You knew back then?"
"Yes! That's why I had to lend you a helping hand, help you escape from misery as soon as possible. I investigated that Matthew. Putting him in his place was an act of justice," Atlas said indignantly.
I was speechless, leaning against him as I recalled the events. No wonder ATL Empire was so supportive of me. It turned out everything was in the hands of this man.
I felt passive in everything, just like my previous premonitions. A force pushed me forward, and now I finally understood what kind of force it was.
Suddenly, the phone rang, shattering the silence between us and startling me.
I hurriedly got up to find the phone. The screen displayed "Mom."
For some reason, I felt an indescribable emotion surging toward me like a tidal wave.
effort and love into raising me.
I was like a fraud, taking away the life of their biological daughter and deceiving their love. It was truly a heinous crime.
The phone fell silent, and it felt like I could finally breathe again.
Atlas seemed to sense my unease, gripping my hand and giving me strength.
When the phone rang again, I took a deep breath, steadying my emotions. I answered the phone. "Mom!"
Tears welled up in my eyes, and my nose felt a bit stuffy.
