Chapter 147 The Outcome
When Josh passed me the suppliers‘ payment reminders the following day, I secretly got
Carol to select a few representatives from the companies on the list and match them with
the collected information.
Then, I told Josh to notify all suppliers of a response meeting at Tanum Corporation next
Monday.
Josh seemed puzzled. “Ms. Chloe, what’s your plan for the meeting?”
I noticed his eagerness and asked smilingly, “Mr. Josh, what do you think would be the
best way to
resolve this situation?”
He chuckled, not entirely understanding my intentions. “Ms. Chloe, I’m not sure I follow.
You’re being quite
mysterious.”
“Haha!” I laughed heartily. “As if you’ve ever understood me!”
He joined in the laughter. “That’s true!”
“I’ve got you figured out,” I teased him.
He blinked, appearing a bit nervous.
“Don’t worry, get back to work. I have ideas you can trust,” I reassured and dismissed Josh

office.
Although reluctant, he realized I didn’t care to continue the discussion and left. Indeed, I
had prepared everything. After all, I could always retreat to my hometown if my gamble
failed.
Suddenly, I received a notification from ATL Empire. They would host a press conference at
6 p.m. on Sunday at the top floor of Starlight International to announce the new CEO of
ATL Empire for the Toradol
Headquarters.
The news shook Foswood and all of Torado’s business community. All companies
collaborating with ATL
Empire had received invites to the conference. It was the same day as Matthew had
predicted.
Not even half an hour after receiving the notification, Matthew called. I didn’t avoid it and
answered the
call. He sounded smug, saying, “Did my information prove accurate, my dear wife?”
I closed my eyes and inwardly cursed his arrogance.
“Don’t underestimate me. I’m not the same man who used to fear breathing in your
presence. You should
reconsider. Besides being with me, you have no other choice. If you agree to remarry me,
I’ll restore
Tanum Corporation to its former glory.
“Matthew, you can forget about that. I will never remarry you, even if I must sacrifice
everything.” I replied
and hung up the phone.
I stood by my office window and gazed into the distance before calling Atlas. As usual, it
went straight to
voicemail.
On Sunday, I took only Carol with me to Starlight International. However, Ivanna was also
there because her media company collaborated with ATL Empire.
I
It was the most significant event I had attended. Starlight International was the biggest
and most luxurious hotel in Foswood. As an international conglomerate, ATL Empire chose
this venue to highlight
the importance of its announcement.
The attendees were influential figures representing ATL Empire’s partners from Torado.
Since it was a business event, I wore a tailored pantsuit, I entered the hall with Carol
without attracting
too much attention. I was just another guest today.
I spotted Matthew as I mingled in the crowd. He wore a nice suit and seemed confident.

with a few people as if he were ATL Empire’s new CEO.
When he saw me, he excused himself and approached me. I hated being unable to avoid
him. Again, I
wondered how I couldn’t see how despicable he was before.
“Honey!” He grinned and leaned in to whisper, “Here’s some information for you. The son
of ATL Empire’s chairman is reclaiming his authority. He’ll manage the business in the
Torado region. We’ll still work together in the future, and it’s a new beginning for our
original team.
“After tonight, I will start a new chapter. I will no longer be just the owner of a small
company.”
I glared at Matthew. “I wish you well.”
Immediately after, I strode away while he followed like a pest.
“Do you know what’s happening now, Chlo? If you want, I can give you a life of luxury,”
Matthew insisted.
I retorted, “You’re overestimating yourself. You should go home and brag to Melanie
instead. Since she admires you so much, you don’t need to chase after other women.”
I continued walking with Carol, and Matthew left his last words, “Don’t be so arrogant.
You’ll see the
outcome soon!”
