Chapter 221 To Turn the Tables

+15 BONUS

Given her clear purpose for meeting me, why couldn’t I turn the tables and gather some

clues myself?

I nodded calmly. “Ms. Stella, your mind is truly impressive.”

“Oh, it’s nothing. After all, no one can break through his walls. No one at all,” she said. She

looked at me with a malicious glint, suggesting that I was the “no one” she referred to

After all, on his birthday night, Atlas exploded in rage. I believed Stella knew what had

happened

“Atlas knows what he wants. His father, Louis, built the empire” Stella’s tone was

confident. I knew she had an influence on the Pierce family

*So, the Pierce family has its own company?” I was intrigued. A conglomerate as large as

ATL Empire couldn’t have sprung from nothing.

“Our grandfather ran the Pierce family’s company until he turned sixty Then Uncle Louis

took over. Hel transformed it significantly within a few years.

She paused “Later, for some reason, Uncle handed the business to my mother and started

the ATL Empire himself. Do you know why it’s called ATL Empire it’s quite a mouthful

Stella looked at me, and I feigned a casual interest

“Atlas, Tammy, Louis,” she said with a laugh. So, the name came from a combination of

Atlas and his

parents.

Stella continued, “Uncle Lours wanted his own domain, a world based on his small family.

But who could’ve guessed he’d meet such an untimely end?”

I started to see Stella differently, seeing a sinister side beneath her refined exterior

However, I focused on a key point–that Louis handed the company to Celine for some

reason. There had

to be an explanation for this

“Mrs. Celine must’ve been impressive to take over the family business. Usually, such

legacies go to sons,”

I remarked.

“Mom is strong–willed and doesn’t yield to men. Of course, she wasn’t satisfied with how

things were with the family business. She had her own ideas!” Stella’s response lacked

caution

So, after Mr. Louis passed away, Mrs Celine took over ATL Empire?” I asked casually.

“Didn’t she already

have control of the original company?”

“Ah.. there were only two siblings in the Pierce family, so naturally she’d take over. She

merged the family company with ATL Empire. Quite the force to be reckoned with!”

Stella’s eyes gleamed with admiration.

I understood there must have been a calculated motive behind Celine’s forcefulness.

“What a pity that they met such a tragedy!” I sighed.

“Everyone has their fate,” Stella said calmly.

“What about your father?” I nudged her.

Stella seemed rather indifferent to her biological parents‘ deaths. She lowered her gaze

and said, “It’s been too long. I was young, so it all feels a bit…distant.”

Distant! How could one’s parents feel distant?

Her actions and words made her seem somewhat unfeeling towards the deaths of her

biological parents.

“So that’s why you said you’d give ATL Empire to Mr. Atlas. According to what you’ve told

me, the ATL Empire originally belonged to Mr. Atlas, so returning it to him would be the

right thing to do,” I pointed out.

I was sure she’d never say such a thing in front of Celine. As expected, she looked

flustered.

“My mother did want to give it to Atlas, but she was cautious since it represents two

generations‘ efforts. She couldn’t give it away to just anyone. That was her bottom line. If

Atlas resists, someone might end up

like Annalise.”

*What do you mean?”
