I couldn't help but frown at Johnson's words. I asked, "She's at it again?" "Yeah," Johnson affirmed.
I cautioned, "I don't have much to say to Matthew. I'll let Adrian handle everything since he knows my stance. My only concern is Charlie. If possible, ask Matthew how he feels about it. You can tell him that we found Charlie's family, but don't tell him I found them." I didn't want Matthew to think aboutbecause his thoughts were quite unpredictable. If he knew I found Charlie's family, he might misinterpret it.

"If Matthew doesn't want to be responsible, we'll return Charlie to his family as soon as possible. We shouldn't burden Myra any longer," I clarified my thoughts. After all, we couldn't let Myra be responsible for Charlie indefinitely.
Johnson sounded helpless as he reported, "Chlo, the developers are suing all the halted projects. The situation isn't looking good. Liora orchestrated all of it." Indeed, it seemed graver than before.
Johnson noticed my lack of response and added, "That's why Adrian fought for this chance to ask Matthew if there are any witnesses who can testify." I asked, "When's the meeting?" "Tomorrow morning." After sthought, I told Johnson, "Got it. I'll call Adrian later." S~earch the Find Nøvelwebsite on Gøøgle to access chapters of early and in the highest quality.
I pondered our conversation after hanging up. I didn't expect Liora to be so ruthless. It seemed she put in much effort to resort to more underhanded tactics.
When I sat down, the waiter had already laid out the dishes and then excused themselves.

"Indeed, it seems Matthew will suffer significant losses this time." "If the developers win the lawsuit, Matthew will be bankrupt and face imprisonment. He might spend several years behind bars," Atticus said, "It's Liora's most effective move. Such incidents pose unpredictable challenges for developers, even after rectification.
όνε "If they can't retrieve their funds, it'll be a fatal loss for them. Hence, they'll respond when Liora makes a move." I looked up at Atticus and testingly asked, "What's your take on her?" Atticus fell silent momentarily, then looked at me. "Do you really want to help Matthew?" I replied, "He might not be a good person, but he's my daughter's father. I also promised something to my late mother-in-law before she passed away. Her only wish was fornot to hurt Matthew." Atticus seemed satisfied with my answer. He gestured, "Let's eat while chatting. The dishes won't taste as
good when they're cold. I selected a few specialty dishes for you, so don't rush to leave today. The timing seems right for us to finally share a meal."
I knew he had something in mind. I feigned calmness while reaching for the utensils, saying, "It's long E overdue." I smiled contentedly and took a bite of the fish.
Atticus sighed. "Matthew is
unfortunate to lose such an excellent wife. He never deserved you. The facing such a man lacks vision, situation is only a matter of time. If you want to save him the only way is to bring Liora down." I glanced at Atticus and casually asked, "Speaking of which, did you know about Melvern's return?"
