Beyond the Divorce

Chapter 1282 Woman of Unknown Origin

However, we kept listening to Dad without bringing up this point.

"Navi is very cunning. At first, he was quite respectful of me and made an effort to obtain information from me. I pretended not to know and avoided the topic, never mentioning the BZ plan. I only mentioned that I was the son-in-law of the elite in Yare."

I looked at Atlas. "That's why another 'me' appeared in Yare! Navi is likely behind it!

Dad looked at me in astonishment, asking, "What are you talking about?"

Atlas spoke before me, "Several months ago, Yare welcomed a woman who resembles Stella and is greatly favored by the old lady! Her origin is unknown."

"The Avila family?" Dad fell into contemplation.

I asked, "Did you know about the organization at that time?"

"Yes, but I learned about it from Clark. The organization was after me too. When Louis and I were prospecting for minerals, we encountered them. They're a group of thugs and crazed plunderers. Louis and I always kept our distance from them."

Atlas said, "It seems that the real mastermind is this organization, and Celine is the catalyst."

"What do you mean?" Dad looked at Atlas, puzzled.

"The individual who is in all this is a member of the organization. And the one who initially discovered this clue was Aunt Lucille. She knew about the plane crash and was distraught. If it weren't for us, she might not have survived alone!"

Atlas's voice sounded scratchy, and his mood was always low when he reflected on these incidents.

"However, when the reports came out, she discovered that the person who died with the couple from the Pierce family was not you. She made the mistake of acting too quickly since she had no one to rely on."

The three of us fell into sorrow.

Atlas sounded very guilty. "I just hate myself for being too young and not knowing what was happening. My parents and my dearest uncle were all gone overnight!"

He took a deep breath and

Tears filled Dad's eyes as he glanced at Atlas. His lips trembled as he asked, "Her dead body...?"

I could feel Atlas's hand holding mine stiffen.

"Tell me. I want to know." Dad's voice trembled. This might be the thing he wanted to know most.

Atlas paused for a long time. Then, he described to Dad every aspect of my mother's death.

Dad was very strong this time, but tears flowed like a flood. I had never witnessed a man sobbing with such intense sorrow.

"But there's... something not right here!" Atlas looked at Dad. "There must be someone else who knows the truth, perhaps about this BZ plan."

Dad shook his head firmly. "Impossible. Only your dad and I knew about the entire plan and had control over it. Those team leaders who went on the expedition only had partial information.

"We already had the global

When it came to studying the

details, it was always just the two of

"Could it be a servant from the Pierce family?" I interjected. "Like Granny, since she could hide that video, others might have leaked information."

"I later ruled out those people in our house back then. Either people break up, or die..." Atlas lamented.

After a moment of silence, Dad looked at Atlas. "Are you saying that Clark is still in your hands? I want to see him!"

Dad said coldly, "The one who started the trouble should end the trouble. We need to get a breakthrough from him!"
