Beyond the Divorce novel Chapter 1473

My heart raced as I rushed forward, my main concern being Uncle Kenny's safety.

In the next instant, I witnessed a sudden burst of blood from Kenzie's wrist. She instinctively let go of Uncle Kenny, dropping the gun, and clutched her injured wrist. With a sinister smile, she quickly fled into a waiting car, which sped away with an unusual engine sound.

Outside, we stood frozen in disbelief at what had just unfolded.

I held Atlas tightly around his waist, seeking comfort.

"Don't be afraid," he assured me.

It dawned on me that Kenzie had been shot in the wrist, likely with a silencer.

The hall fell into a chilling silence.

Atlas and I quickly made our way to the door, where someone was already helping Uncle Kenny up.

"Uncle Kenny, are you alright?" I asked anxiously, checking his wound.

Tears streamed down Uncle Kenny's face as he looked up at Atlas. "Mr. Atlas, you shouldn't have let that evil woman go."

Atlas grasped his hand firmly, whispering, "She still has value to us. She had to go."

Uncle Kenny looked at Atlas with doubt, perhaps analyzing his words.

Even I only understood why Atlas let Celine go after hearing his words. It made sense now, especially with the explanation for the abnormal sounds from the escaping car—they were intentionally causing distractions.

After a while, everyone looked at Atlas, trembling with fear and uncertainty.

Atlas calmly told Dylan, "Wrap things up here.”

"I'm sorry for putting you through that. It must’ve been unbearable for you." He lowered his eyes to look at me, kissing my forehead. "You still haven't told me when you remembered us playing the piano together.”

"It wasn't unbearable, but I couldn't understand why you stayed silent for so long." I glared at him.

"I was waiting for the arrangements outside so I had to buy some time. I hadn't planned to deal with her today." Atlas gently explained, "But it turned out to be the perfect timing."

"That is, quickly dealing with the Ellis family?" I understood Atlas's plan.

He mentioned changing plans at the last minute. Given the situation, with the Ellis family caught off guard, they could not be prepared for what was coming their way.

It was a simultaneous strike against all fronts, catching them off guard.

"Not just the Ellis family, but also Johnny," Atlas said solemnly.
