Lauren took a deep breath when we stepped out of the door. With a mischievous grin, she remarked, "My mission is finally accomplished! I can finally go home and get a good night's sleep. If I endure this any longer, I might get high blood pressure.""Oh my goodness, a volcano just erupted." I stuck out my tongue in response.Atlas reached for Ava, who widened her eyes in disbelief. She asked Atlas, "Daddy, what happened to Aunt Ivanna? Why is she yelling so loudly? I'm afraid. Is she going crazy?"Her question left us adults trying hard not to burst into laughter. Fortunately, the elevator arrived, and we quickly stepped inside.Ava, still studying Atlas's face, curiously inquired, "Daddy, why is she so angry? Did that man make a mistake?"Atlas smiled at Ava and explained, "Our little sweetheart is brilliant. Yes, that man made a mistake, and Aunt Ivanna doesn't want to forgive him, so she got mad."Ava looked astonished and said, "Will they fight if we leave? What if they keep

I looked at him curiously and asked, "Who?"Atlas pinched my nose and said, "It's Melvern.""Melvern?" I exclaimed.I really didn't expect him to consult Adrian.Could it be related to Matthew's case?I looked at Atlas skeptically and said, "He wouldn't be consulting about Matthew’s case, right? That falls under the confidentiality of this case, doesn't it?""Of course, he wouldn't directly ask that question. He inquired indirectly about equity and economic disputes." Atlas explained."This indicates something. He fears Atticus's release. He wants to protect Liora. At least until he settles the score with Atticus, he doesn't want Liora to interfere with his plans." Atlas analyzed Melvern's intentions.I asked with concern, "Will it affect Matthew's case?"He looked at me, somewhat conflicted, and asked, "Are you worried?"I looked at Atlas seriously and said, "I don't want to keep entangling with this matter endlessly.""For Liora, Matthew is already a losing move. But for u

He quickly rubbed his hands together and said, "Well, Ms. Chloe, I might be a bit overly concerned, but the girl’s wish is a big deal."I nodded lightly, responding to him."You may not know, but my brother raised me from childhood to adulthood. My niece has this little wish, and I always want to help her fulfill it. So, I took the liberty to see you."He spoke with sincerity, something I could understand."The reason I brazenly came to see you is that you can pay a little more attention to her during her interview. After all, this girl is determined to join Tanum. Of course, I don't mean to pull any strings. It's just that, when it's convenient for you, pay a little more attention to her."I gave a faint smile, but I was speechless. I noticed that I didn't particularly like this person. Clearly, he wanted to use Arthur's relationship to get his niece in, yet he insisted that he was not doing so.If she was so outstanding, why not let her undergo a regular interview?And why be

Grayson smiled helplessly when he heard Lauren's words."You don't understand. Its value lies in its significant scientific research value due to its rarity. It's not just about money, of course. Its value can't be measured with that, after all." Grayson seemed well-versed in the subject as he explained it to us."The rarity of this meteorite is self-evident, and the scarcity of a meteorite determines its own value. Generally speaking, the fewer there are, the higher the value. You understand the principle of rarity equating to value, right?" he asked Lauren.Lauren nodded. "Isn't this just something that fell from the sky? So it's valuable because it's rare?"Grayson chuckled at Lauren's words, "You're being too simplistic. The value of these meteorites needs to be scientifically verified now. As far as I know, they come in many different qualities, depending on the planet they originated from and the substances they contain. There are many intricacies involved. It's very complex.

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.It wasn't a deliberate encounter, but a 'coincidental' one.Before that, Carol had come to my office and mentioned that the girl didn’t look as good as her resume. And I
