Beyond the Divorce by Third Blossom
Chapter 877 Someone Confessed

After hearing Anson's words, I was startled and looked at Atlas, but refrained from questioning him in front of Anson. Atlas nonchalantly said, "There's no rush. I'm waiting for the right opportunity. I'm thinking of making a trip to Yare first."

Anson's eyes narrowed noticeably. He quickly scanned me, then calmly looked at Atlas. "Are you suggesting that you need to check out the Avila family first?" "The Avila family has involved someone they shouldn't have. I need to pay them a visit," Atlas spoke with depth and meaning.

I understood the implication behind Atlas's words, especially since the Avila family was directly related to me.

And the person they shouldn't have involved was my doppelganger.

"Sounds good." Anson nodded and put down his spoon.

Atlas wiped his mouth with a napkin and said, "Besides, I have some business to discuss with the Avila family."

Anson didn't seem too interested and didn't ask Atlas anything more about it.

I had finished eating a while ago, and anyway, the conversation between the two had made me lose my appetite.

Anson didn't press any further, and Atlas didn't elaborate. But from their expressions, it seemed like an unspoken understanding existed between them.

Just then, my phone rang, and I took it out of my bag. It was Ivanna, which meant that she had probably arrived in Bourdamun.

I gestured that I needed to take the call, then stepped out of the dining room.

As soon as I answered, Ivanna's voice came through.

"Chlo, I've arrived! But I have some news. Someone has taken the blame for the explosion!"

"What does that mean?" I was surprised. "Who confessed?"

"A man turned himself in," Ivanna informed me. "I just received the news and don't know any details yet. Why don't you come over? I'll fill you in."

"I'm going to the capital tomorrow. I'll check it out when I get back," I said. "Take care, and don't stay up too late."

"How many days will you be in the capital?" Ivanna asked.

"I'll be back as soon as I finish my business. This situation with Matthew should be resolved soon, and I don't want to miss his trial," I told Ivanna. "Alright. Stay in touch," she said before hanging up.

I clutched my phone, wondering who had confessed. What was going on?

At that moment, Atlas and Anson walked out of the dining room. When Atlas saw me in a daze, he approached and asked softly, "What's wrong?"

"Something's happened in Bourdamun. Someone has turned themselves in. Do you know anything about this?" I scrutinized him.

He nodded, as I expected. "I do. Let's talk about it when we get back," he said with a look that made me hesitate to ask more.

After chatting with Anson for a while, I left the Huffman residence with Atlas. We got in his car.

Inside the car, Atlas didn't wait for me to ask any questions before he said, "The Bourdamun situation is clear. We need a statement to quell the situation right now. Someone has intervened, so we should play along and deal with this problem first."

Atlas was downplaying the situation, but I could tell we still had the upper hand.

"Do we continue the investigation?" I asked stubbornly.

"Of course

le do. The results are

already i and we'll wait for

Matthew's trial." Atlas held my ba "There's no need to rush. There'll be a satisfactory outcome, I promise." en.swhovels.net

Then he suddenly remembered my trip to the capital. "What time is your flight tomorrow?"

"10:15 AM."

"Okay, let's head back earlier today. Don't forget, Saturday is Ava's parent-child day," He gently reminded me.

"Oh!" I exclaimed. "If you hadn't mentioned it, I would have completely forgotten."

I quickly thought about it and realized I had to return to Foswood either tomorrow night or the next morning to make it in time.

"You need to keep your promises,

right? You should be a good

example to Ava. Make sure to fulfill what you promised," he said as he held my hand.

"I will! Thanks for reminding me about it," I said sincerely.

He smiled warmly, ruffling his hair.

"You're behind the project in the capital, aren't you?" I asked, looking at him.

He smiled. "It's an available project, so why shouldn't I take it? Besides, Hartz Group has matured, and it's time to put it to good use." "Speaking of Hartz Group, I want to ask your opinion on something."

"Go on."

"What do you think we should do about Tanum and Hartz Group?" I asked directly.

"What do you mean? Tell me more," He looked at me, appearing to ask the question casually.
