NovelEnglishChapter 497 Her Backbone and Support Arnold let out a mournful cry, looking quite shaken. He regarded me with a hint of skepticism. "You have your own company? Doing what? Tell me." "Construction," I blushed, feeling a bit embarrassed.
n ? ] pill You? Construction? Sure enough, Arnold was astonished.
"What kind of construction work can a delicate girl like you do?" I chuckled, "It was a twist of fate. Once I got into this field, there was no turning back." Ardie was also intrigued. "I can't believe it. You're such a delicate girl, and you're into construction and
development?" Arnold quickly said to me, "Give the | work to him. He's a rugged man who should do construction. You can just run the business. In the future, we'll be a powerful team, with me in the field, and you managing the business from the office." Atlas immediately interjected, "Arnold, are you trying to poach her? What do you mean, 'you can run the business'? She's my wife. If she wants to be in charge, it'll be for the business of the Pierce family. She can do whatever she wants. You haven't even figured out the Beringer family's business yet, and you're making grandma carry the weight at the age of 80. You're still so young, so you better wait until you stand on your own before coming to boast to her."
After saying that, Atlas pulled me over and embraced me as if he was afraid someone would snatch me away. I was quite speechless, feeling utterly awkward.

The servants came to announce that dinner was ready.
The family was truly harmonious.
When they heard I already had a daughter, Grandma Rose exclaimed, "Oh my goodness! Why didn't you bring her?" |
This statement left Arnold's jaw dropping in astonishment. It took him awhile to regain his composure and ask, "Whose child is that?” I gave a concise explanation of the real situation. Although it was hard to bring up, I didn't want to hide anything from this family. However they perceived me, I wanted to face it with honesty, even if it meant they might look down on me.
Atlas understood my feelings and held my hand firmly.
"Don't feel pressured. This isn't your fault. Our family is very understanding," Grandma Rose noticed my embarrassment and comforted me. "You should have brought the little girl today, and let us adore her. It's been years since the
Beringer family had a little one running around in the house.” Archie spoke up, "I have a meeting in Foswood tomorrow that will last all day. Since we're already family, Atlas, you bring the Hartz family over tomorrow before I return to Solaris. I want to see them before I leave, especially the little girl." Atlas nodded, "Sure. I'll make arrangements for that." "Also, now that I've accepted Chlo as my daughter, I need a reassuring answer from you. Are you genuinely sincere about this child?" Archie looked at Atlas solemnly.
I truly didn't expect Archie to ask Atlas for such an explicit assurance. I sat up straight, suddenly feeling nervous.
Grandma Rose grabbed my hand and
also looked at Atlas.
The atmosphere instantly became solemn, and I could hear my own heart pounding.

Atlas's response was resolute. My emotions suddenly became somewhat uncontrollable, and I couldn't help but choke back a sob as tears streamed down my face.
""Okay, you must remember the words you said in front of me today. Chlo, don't be sad. Since you have the fate to be my daughter, I will take charge of this matter for you. Our family can match any noble or influential families out there!" Archie's tone was
extremely affectionate and somewhat arrogant.
I really didn't expect this family to be so protective of me. Just a few days ago, I could only watch various news about Archie on TV. I never imagined that at this moment, he would be so dominant, preventing me from being mistreated.
Fate was truly peculiar.
"That's right. If he dares to abandon you, you just tell me... uh, tell the family, I'll take charge of this matter." Arnold chimed in, and I couldn't help but laugh, though my voice carried a tinge of tears.
After dinner, I talked with Grandma Rose and Arnold, while Atlas, Archie, and Ardie went to the study. They didn't come down for a long time, and
it was already late when we bid farewell.
On the way back, Atlas held me in his arms the entire time. I was also deeply moved, not wanting to leave his embrace. I couldn't shake the feeling that Atlas was keeping something from me.
The secret between us was becoming clearer and more profound.
