Beyond the Divorce

I stood up abruptly.

I would go find Anya. I needed her to guide me into Bermuda. After all, she was familiar with the environment there, and it would be much safer than attempting to navigate it alone. Besides, we were inconspicuous girls, so we could quietly go there without drawing much attention.

With this in mind, I quickly went to the bottom drawer of the bookshelf, found the remote control for the secret passage that Atlas had told me about, and then left the study. Back in the bedroom, I changed into sportswear, grabbed my car keys, and took the elevator to the underground garage.

Although I had accompanied Atlas through this secret passage to the storage area several times, this was the first time I went alone. I felt a bit nervous, despite knowing it was extremely safe here. But I was still getting goosebumps for some reason. Forcing myself to focus, I looked ahead, and the voice-activated lights illuminated as needed, casting light behind me.

Suddenly, I thought of another person which was Charlie's dad, Arton. He was currently sunburned and a bit thinner, resembling the men in Bermuda. Moreover, he grew up in a fighting environment from a young age, making him a suitable protector for us. Thinking of this, I gained a surge of courage and decided to bring Arton with us. The road was easy to navigate, and I didn't need to think much. The car reached the exit of the storage area, and soon, the gate slowly opened.

I parked the car, and a staff member from the area ran over.

They certainly recognized me. I told him I wanted to see Anya, and he nodded before rushing toward the dormitory building.

I pondered momentarily, then picked up the phone and found Johnson's number. I dialed it since I didn't know Arton's number, and it would be awkward to ask Annika for it.

Johnson answered immediately. "Chloe."

a mission. Tell him to come to Tanum tomorrow morning. Or give him my number and ask him to call me immediately." "Sure. I'll call him right away."
