As I watched Atlas's car leave the driveway, I couldn't help but feel worried.

I had to admit that deep down, I didn't want Atlas to get too involved with the Huffman family, at least not in a business sense.

But it seemed like the situation was unfolding in the opposite direction.

I just wanted to get rid of this entanglement with Liora quickly, complete the model project in Bourdamun, and bring back my biological father who was still suffering somewhere. Those were my plans.

I casually replied, "Monday."
