Sean saw that Arnold seemed very confident, so he nodded immediately.
"We'll act separately. I'm going to the city to exert as much pressure as possible on Byron Chandler. You all need to make good use of this opportunity." Atlas told Sean, "First, find a reason to control that assistant doctor. He's probably a lackey who knows a lot of things. Most importantly, he must know what Beatrice has been through all these years. He's important to this investigation." "We've thought of that. We're looking for a reason to detain him," Sean said.

"Alright. I understand." Sean immediately agreed.
"What about me?" I asked.
Atlas smiled, gazing at me, and said, "You cane with me. Or you can walk around and get familiar with Gerby." "I'll go with you," I said. I wasn't here to be a tourist. I was entirely focused on Beatrice's safety. Why would I need to wander around? What was there to see? "And we're about to take over Grand Tribeca. You might want to go there and take a look," Atlas said.
His words surprised me. "Grand Tribeca? Isn't that the shopping mall the Chandler family and their in-laws, the Russell family, want to take over?" "That's right. This is our first step to investment in Gerby," Atlas declared.
"I want to give Byron Chandler somepetition. I want him to feel powerless and helpless! After we take it over, it'll be ours." "I guess I'll go have a look then, since it'll be ours in the future," I murmured to myself.

After sdiscussion of what we needed to do next, everyone left to do what they had to.
Atlas and I returned to our room. I asked, "Atlas, do you really want to invest in Gerby?" "Aren't youpeting with the Chandler family just to save Beatrice?" I asked.
"Of course not We want to save her, of course, but that's not the only reason I'm investing money into Don't et, your husband is a businessman too. We might be able to enjoy sbenefits while striking at the Chandlers. Why shouldn't we do it?" As I stared at Atlas, I had the strong impression that he was a true leader. He seemed to always be able to think clearly, and never let anything disturb him.
He sawgazing at him skeptically. He looked atwith a charming smile that could enchant anyone, as if he could read all my innermost thoughts. He embracedand said, "What's wrong? Are you disappointed with my answer? I can only think clearly about something if it isn't related to you. I'll give in on everything if it affects you. There's no room for discussion orpromise there!" "I didn't mean that. I'm afraid you might act impulsively." I looked at him, "We shouldn't make any unnecessary sacrifices." "Why are you so concerned about our family's money?" he teased, looking at me. "My investments need to pay for themselves hundreds or thousands of times over! Otherwise, how could I be your husband?" I smiled in delight, resting my head on his chest, and said, "I wonder why my life is so good, honey. Did I get lucky?" "You're wrong. This isn't about your good fortune, it's the result of our hard work." He patted my back. "I've let you endure too much hardship. I won't let you feel the slightest difort anymore. I promise!" We embraced each other for quite stime, then his phone rang, prompting us to separate.
After answering the call, he said, "You can go out for a walk or get srest. I've asked Lauren to keep youpany." "Really?" I was overjoyed to hear his words.
