Beyond the Divorce

Chapter 959 Welcoming the Newcomer

After finishing the call with Atlas, I glanced at the precious stone and carefully placed it in the safe in my office.

I didn't care much for money, but I couldn't just leave a priceless gem that was worth billions lying on my desk, could I? To those who didn't know, it was just an ugly rock that clashed with my office decor. To those who did know, it might seem like I was showing off.

Honestly, I wished I could return it. Accepting such a valuable gift without reason didn't sit well with me.

I looked at the small glass bottle, remembering Atlas's words. I hesitated for a moment, then placed it back in my bag. One thing was certain-it wasn't an ordinary item.

At noon, we all went to the second floor of the building for our working lunch.

In the evening, while at work, I happened to encounter Adelaide Mcclain.
