Beyond the Divorce by Third Blossom
Chapter 1435 A Dead End

Atlas nodded at me. He was very alert. As he glanced at the rearview mirror, I followed suit and checked; everything seemed normal.

He continued, "On the surface, I seemed to have grown distant from these two families over the years since I went to Torado and settled in Foswood. But in reality, the more distant on the surface, the closer internally! Many things they've been looking out for me behind the scenes! Of course, we also have a business alliance!"

"So, from the current situation, the possibility of things falling into Celine's hands isn't too high!" Atlas affirmed, "That's my secret. I didn't want you to worry! And there wasn't a suitable opportunity to talk to you about these matters."

"I understand." I placed my hand on his large hand, and he clasped it in return.

"Celine might have caught a whiff of some information, knowing our fathers had secrets, but she may not even know about the existence of this map!" Atlas said confidently.

"Why do you say that?" I asked Atlas.

"Think about it, if she already had this map in her hands, she would've been eager to get hold of Rory to uncover this mystery. After all, she had already sensed that the fathers had secrets!

"But she allowed Rory to be secretly imprisoned and seemed indifferent. What does that imply?" Atlas guided me with counterintuitive thinking.

"Well... maybe she didn't understand its importance, or she was afraid of getting involved with my father and attracting trouble?" I also presented my doubts.

"After all these years, she's been very wary of this point! Doesn't she always want to establish a standard of being kind-hearted? It's blatant theft!" I scoffed.

Atlas said, "That's a possibility, but

not everything can withstand scrutiny, She's been so eager to take over everything, how could she not figure out what she got her hands on?"

"That makes sense! Also, since our fathers both thought of separating the distribution maps for

safekeeping, just in case. Why would he casually place that item

somewhere?" I affirmed Atlaelget

analysis again.

"It must have been placed unexpectedly! He squeezed my hand, "Such an important item, he couldn't have casually locked it in his home or office. Those safes are only for preventing petty thieves, not gentlemen. If something happens, ordinary people would think that there must be something important in the safe."

"That's for sure! After all, it's the only place to store valuable items!"

"That's just the idea of ordinary people, definitely not what our fathers would do. Their thinking is absolutely meticulous!"

I fully agreed with this statement. "So, it indeed is not so casually done!"

"If Celine did get her hands on it but didn't know what it was before, when we retrieve our father, she'll definitely spare no effort to decipher it."

"You're right." I murmured in agreement, "Celine hasn't obtained these things yet!"

"One more thing!" Atlas said, "Your father told me that he entrusted the drawings he kept to your mother, Lucille!"

My heart suddenly sank...

After all, my mother had passed away, and this became a dead end!
