Beyond the Divorce

"According to reports from my people in the Pierce family, Celine has incurred significant losses in recent years. That's why she doesn't want to give up ATL Empire." I looked at Atlas, understanding the situation. "Because she colluded with external forces?"

"Yes." Atlas looked at me, smiling approvingly. "But she also understands that since the Cross family sanctioned her, ATL Empire is just an empty shell in her hands."

He looked at me, his smile brightening like a dazzling galaxy. I sensed that it was related to finding me.
