Chapter 303 Gut Feeling
As I was about to exit the private road, I saw a bright red dot in the distance. It struck me–could that be
Stella’s red sports car?
My heart skipped a beat at the thought. Stella? Was she here at Fremont Bay?
I hesitated and followed my instincts. I spotted a small path leading into the woods and maneuvered my
car into the junction. Thankfully, my midnight blue Panamera was discreet and wouldn’t be easy to spot.
Before long, a red sports car whooshed by, confirming my suspicions. Was it Stella? I couldn’t be sure, but
it seemed plausible since they were relatives. Just as I hesitated, a black sedan swiftly entered.
I parked and waited for some time, but no other cars entered or left. Only then did I leave my concealed
spot and return to the private road, exiting Fremont Bay premises.
Back in the city, I called Nick to set up a meeting, using a project–related excuse as cover. He didn’t
refuse and instructed me to come to his office. Upon arriving, I got straight to the point.
“Mr. Nick, I’m here not for any business collaboration but to find out what’s happening with Atlas. How is
he doing?”
“I anticipated this,” he said with a smile, his composure catching me off guard.
“Well, then, Mr. Nick, please give me a satisfactory answer,” I said, though I felt embarrassed as I spoke.
“He’s at Fremont Bay.
Nick’s words confirmed what I had sensed earlier at the estate.
“M–May I see him?” My tone softened. Ta like to see m
“I don’t think that’s possible. His condition is still unstable,” Nick explained. “Medical experts are guarding against any interference. That’s why he was brought back to Fremont Bay. Ms. Chloe, I must ask for your understanding. If he stabilizes or wakes up, I promise you’ll be the first to know.”
“Is Stella there?” I looked at Nick, knowing I had pushed a bit too far.
“Mrs. Celine….arranged for her to be there,” Nick answered.
I instantly understood. Celine put Stella in Fremont Bay so that she could keep a close eye on Atlas.
“So, you can’t reveal your presence,” Nick added.
