Beyond the Divorce



Everyone's gaze went to the man in the wheelchair-it was none other than Atticus, who had been missing for over a month. Joshua quickly approached Atticus after realising this and exclaimed, "Mr. Atticus, how... how is this possible?"

Choked with emotion, Joshua couldn't continue and reached out to take Atticus from Atlas's hands.

Atticus patted Joshua's arm in a comforting manner before turning to Mia. "Miss Mia, long time no see!"

Mia seemed like she was still in shock. Atticus continued, "The documents are fake, but I'm real, aren't I?"

"Atticus!" Mia murmured his name as if she was in shock.

"What's wrong? Are you surprised?" Atticus looked at Mia, a hint of indescribable amusement playing at the corners of his lips.

Then he looked up and faced the room of reporters. "Hello, everyone. I'm Atticus. I apologize for meeting you all under these circumstances. I was in a coma for a month. I was saved from the brink of death only ten days ago.

"The CEOs of ATL Empire, Mr. and Mrs. Atlas, saved me. I'm using this opportunity to hold a press conference today. I solemnly declare that the contents of this conference can only be officially released by authorized media. Other media outlets are not permitted to reprint anything! Before I announce my decision regarding Echelon Group, I'll first hand over the floor to Mr. Atlas."

He gestured for Joshua to push him to one side of the meeting table and handed the lead to Atlas.

I stood up and sat at the first position at the table too.

Atlas walked to the center of the stage and cast his stern gaze over the embarrassed face of Mia, who was at a loss.

"Hello, everyone! I'm Atlas. I'm holding this press conference to officially announce a few things and address recent online doubts and concerns."

To the shock of everyone present, the first thing he announced was our marriage. He displayed our marriage certificate.

I had been mentally prepared before coming here, but the solemn announcement still moved me.

Atlas extended his arm to embrace

me and allowed the official media to

take photos. Then, he solemnly declared, "Chloe is my wife, and the only wife I'll ever have!" NôvelDrama.Org: text © owner.

He planted a sweet kiss on my lips in front of the cameras before putting me back in my seat.

He then turned to Mia, who looked pale. "Are you satisfied, Ms. Mia?"

Mia looked as if she had been smacked across the face.

Even Ernest and Lance, who had stood beside her arrogantly, looked lost.

"You might be an Echelon

shareholder, but the acquisition of Echelon Group by Tanum is a foregone conclusion. My wife Chloe doesn't need to bear any burden. I support all her decisions!" Atlas said domineeringly.

"What makes Tanum qualified to acquire Echelon Group? I have the right to speak as Echelon's largest shareholder!" Mia clenched her fists on the table, her knuckles tuming white.

"Good question! Let's all see whether Tanum is qualified to acquire Echelon, then!" Atlas ignored Mia's excitement and looked at her coldly. The legal department of ATL Empire switched on the large screen in the meeting room and displayed all the documents and information about the owner of ATL Empire.

My name was on all documents. I was the actual owner of ATL Empire.

Mia was stunned, and I was also shocked. When I signed those documents, Atlas said it was a precautionary measure, but I didn't expect him to use it to protect me.

Mia's face went pale, and she muttered incredulously, "How could it be?"

"That's right. Chloe is the real owner of ATL Empire. Don't you think she has the capital to acquire Echelon now?" Atlas looked at Mia aggressively.

Mia clenched her hands on the table.

She looked at me unwillingly, then turned to Atticus and said, "Atticus, I'm currently the only major shareholder of Echelon Group, and I oppose this merger!"

Everyone looked at Atticus, but he just smiled strangely.
