Beyond the Divorce by Third Blossom
Chapter 796 So Close to Death

I trembled, leaning weakly against his chest. At that moment, I felt an unprecedented sense of safety and happiness.

It was good to be alive.

He continued to comfort me, holding me close.

Gradually, I regained my composure.

"Are the people inside the building safe? You said they've been evacuated, right?" I asked urgently, sharing with Atlas what the man on the rooftop had told me and what I had thought.

Then I added, "We can't stay at the Bourdamun Hotel anymore. Someone's pulling the strings behind this, and when he controlled me, he was in constant communication with that person. The mastermind behind this has been monitoring the situation. He told me there's a bomb in the banquet hall."

I looked at him anxiously, afraid of missing any clues.

Atlas reassured me, "Don't worry. Right after we left, bomb disposal experts went in to check the building thoroughly. Everyone inside has already been evacuated."

"When did they evacuate?" I asked in disbelief.

"After you discovered the man with the tattoo in the elevator, I had Dylan start the investigation, focusing on checking every guest on the fifteenth floor. Then I reported to Noah, and we arranged for people to gradually evacuate the banquet hall.

"After the banquet began, people inside the building started leaving the hotel through the back door. That's why you didn't see Arthur in the lobby."

"Yes, I looked for Arthur when I left the banquet hall, but I was certain he wasn't in the hall. That's when I went to the roof," I nodded, speaking earnestly. Atlas looked at my serious face, hugged me tight, and kissed me, "That's because he had already been escorted away from the scene."

I looked at him in disbelief and asked, "Who told you to go to the roof? Was it a female receptionist?"

"That receptionist is one of them."

"What?" I was stunned.

"After you left, I thought you went to the bathroom. But when you didn't come back after five minutes, I figured you might have left the banquet hall."

I looked at him in surprise, filled with curiosity, and gripped his arm tightly. "And then?"

"Then I checked the surveillance and detained that receptionist. She confessed that you went to the roof." Atlas explained. "There were surveillance observation points on the scene at that time." With a lingering sense of fear, I asked, "Did that woman confess anything? Who are they exactly? Who sent them?"

"She was just bribed. She doesn't

know any specific details. Also, they transferred the money to her via

used the transactions were for the unregistered." Atlas explained in

mobile phone, and all the e

detail. "We can't trace them with so little information."

"So we can't replace out who they're working for?" I murmured frustratedly.

Suddenly, I remembered something and quickly asked Atlas, "What about the money? Did you really transfer six hundred million to him?"

After hearing my urgent questions, Atlas, who had been wearing a serious expression, finally revealed a charming smile.

"You can rest assured, my little

money lover. How could I compromise with them and hand over the money so easily? My money's hard to get. If it were so easy everyone would come out of the woodwork to blackmail me," he said confidently, with the air of a strategist.

"But I..."

"You saw what happened when Dylan obtained that card, right? I instructed him to prepare the money. That was me notifying him to check that account. When he attempted to transfer the money, the account had already been

intercepted. It showed a successful transfer because we created false information after understanding the situation." Atlas explained the entire process to me.

"But when I heard him asking if the money had been wired, the person on the other end said yes." I had heard laughter on the other end of the phone.
