Beyond the Divorce

I faintly heard someone inside reporting to Atlas that someone had been caught.

"Good. She can reflect on her actions," Atlas said on the phone, then hung up.

I looked at him excitedly. "They caught Abby?"

"I can't hide anything from you!" Atlas exclaimed. "She's been caught in a small town near Luxem. The stolen goods are all there. She hasn't had time to deal with it. She's probably trying to escape the heat." "Who is she trying to scam? I wonder what Melanie thinks, knowing her mother's character," I scoffed. "Like mother, like daughter."

After pondering for a moment, I looked at Atlas, wanting to speak, but I hesitated. He seemed to understand my thoughts. He walked to the bookshelf and took out a folder, placing it in front of me and gesturing for me to take a look.

I felt a bit dazed as I looked at what was on the table. He said gently, "Take a look. I think this is what you want to know."

I reached out for the folder and opened it gently. Rory's personal information was inside. His ID photo was at the top of his resume, showing a handsome and sharp-eyed man.

My gaze fixed on the photo and my heart surged. This man was my father. I did seem to resemble him somewhat, in either features or expression.
