Chapter 365 Fate

Lauren and I both understood that this wasn't something you could just end with a clean break.

Ivanna kept her head down.

"Atlas is, after all, a legitimate businessman," Lauren sighed. "But Jared, he's unpredictable, Ivanna. I'm

not trying to scare you!"

Unexpectedly, Ivanna raised her head with a slight smirk. Defiantly, she said, "I knew it from the first day I met him."

that?

"Chloe, did you see It's over... She's done for and beyond saving!" Lauren's words became

somewhat disjointed. "Chlo's troubles haven't been resolved, and you stir up more!"

"What do you mean I'm stirring things up?" Ivanna replied. "This is fate!"

"Oh, come on! Fate?" Lauren scoffed. "Ivanna, if you end up in his wife's crosshairs, you'll know what fate

means.

I had some doubts as I looked at Lauren. "Aren't you being a bit too dramatic?"

"Haha..." Lauren heard my words and nearly broke down. "Trinity is a demon. Please be careful, Ivanna, because Trinity has done many things. Even Jared can't handle her!" "We'll be careful!" Ivanna looked at us and said softly, "Actually, some things can't be explained. My

acquaintance with him is a long story."

I was stunned when Ivanna said this. Did she enter the lion's den knowingly?

"Ivanna, why go through all this?" I didn't know how to stop her. I just felt a growing sense of helplessness.

"Oh, never mind me. For now, let's focus on resolving Chlo's troubles," Ivanna said. "Things between Jared

and me are not as bad as you think.

"By the way, Harmony has been thriving lately. It's like she's hit the fast track and been taking on endorsements non-stop," Ivanna said. "But she seems to be more cautious than before." "Has Stella been looking for her again?" I asked. "It seems like Stella has gone into hiding!"

Hahal She's changed her tactics!" Lauren bluntly stated.

Ivanna chuckled silently at how we successfully changed the subject. Later, the two of them joined me

for dinner. Ryan also tagged along, claiming he was here for the food. Really, he was helping my mom.

We continued to talk for a while after we finished eating. Then Ryan walked me back to my room and said, "You don't need to worry too much. Rest well, and leave the rest to me and Grayson."

"I'm fine. It's just my foot that hurts, not my mind." I looked at Ryan.

He had been fiercely protective of me since that day in the hospital. I knew just how much he cared. He

was quietly looking out for me, without complaints, and always dependable.

1 truly felt like I owed him so much that it was impossible to repay.

"You call the shots on everything!" I trusted Ryan, so I wasn't worried about the company, 1

"You need to recover quickly. I've already asked a friend overseas to help us replace a business planner. They'll create a comprehensive brand development plan for us. I want to arrange a meeting in Foswood once you're better!"

"Oh? There's someone like that?" I was surprised.

"Of course, business planners exist in many large corporations. They assess the company's health first, then its resources. Following consultation with the company, they created a chart. This determines the best way to minimize risks and when to cut losses.”

I was genuinely impressed, and I could tell that his strategy combined advanced experience. It made me excited. We talked late into the night before he finally left.

Strangely, I felt more awake. I got up and slowly walked to the terrace. The reporters lurking outside were gone, and the peace had returned.

I leaned against the railing and looked up at the sky. It had been almost a year since I learned about Matthew's affair. My life had taken such a dramatic turn in the previous year.

A car approached the gate from afar, heading inside. It was most likely a vehicle from one of the back. villas. My heartbeat unexpectedly skipped a beat.
