Atlas was waiting in front of the building. He came over when he spotted me, gave me a gentle embrace, and helped me to the car.
As we passed by, people were looking at us. After all, I hadn't been to the company much lately. Seeing me visibly pregnant next to Atlas was quite a sight.
However, I was calm. After all, I was legally married to him.
After settling me in the car, Atlas got in, and the car drove off amidst the astonished gazes of the onlookers.
He put his arm around me inside the car, and I leaned comfortably towards his chest. It felt nice.
"I showed no mercy!" I said to Atlas, and he understood perfectly what I meant.
After all, his wife was an absolute trump card.
"I'll never forgive the Morgan family for what they did to Archie! No matter what, I am a legitimate daughter of the Beringer family," I said sternly. Then I asked, "Can you find a way for me to see Archie?"
Atlas's lips curled as he said, "No one is allowed to visit during the isolation period."
I was disappointed and started worrying more about the Beringer family.
After a moment, I said helplessly, "Then bring Grandma here. She must be so distressed. Especially since everything happened to Dad Archie because of us!"
I felt highly uneasy every time I thought of the sudden upheaval in the Beringer family,
The car suddenly fell silent, and I wondered if Atlas also felt guilty about this.
I was astounded as soon as we entered the hall upon our return to Fremont Bay. Archie was seated in the living room, mingling with family members. My biological father was also present.
This really threw me off balance!
"Why don't you think about why I suddenly returned to Foswood?" Atlas asked me.
Indeed, when Atlas found the distribution map and retrieved what was stored in the bank, he immediately decided to return to Foswood. At the time, I thought it was too hasty, without any preparation.
However, I didn't think much about it. Now, it seemed Atlas had suddenly changed his strategy.
"After finding half of the distribution map, I released Celine. I wanted to make her thoroughly terrified so that she would be determined to turn the situation around. But the assets in the bank made me change my mind immediately, so I brought you back to Foswood, met Archie and Rory as soon as possible, and discussed corresponding countermeasures!"
Atlas was grinning and wearing a determined expression.
"I'm sure they won't give up. Two of our missing exploration engineers had been preempted by the other party. We can't be too confident anymore. The matter of the distribution map used to be a secret of our fathers, and it's possible that it has been leaked!"
My father nodded and said, "After all, we still have half of the map out there. We're still one step away! The risk rises for each day that half escapes our control. In addition, once Yare falls, any piece of Southeast Torado will be lost completely."
