Beyond the Divorce

Ardie nodded, speaking gently, "Yeah. He was always taken care of by our grandmother. At the time, she had to run the business while taking care of him, which was quite tough."

"She is really capable. Ardie, Grandma Rose is my idol. The first time I saw her, I wanted to get close to her," I said without hiding my admiration.

"Yeah. Grandma is great. Because Arnold was small, we always pampered him. He still does whatever he wants now."

"Arnold is very clever. He's very wise when judging people and situations. In the future, he should be a good successor." I praised.

"Our family business is already well-established, and there haven't been any major setbacks. Even if he continues like this, it's enough for him to enjoy." Ardie explained.

"But actually, he has good business acumen. Although he's not as steady as Atlas, who plans and executes meticulously, he has a discerning eye. Do you know what he likes?" Ardie looked at me and asked. I was curious, "What does he like?"

"He likes things different from Grandma's stable business-technology and mining. They use up a lot of money, but they're very profitable."

I pondered for a moment. This was indeed not something an ordinary person could accomplish.

"We have been suppressing him, and he is sometimes very rebellious. This may be influenced by Atlas. Some time ago, Atlas did Dad's work. Dad approved of him, and allowed Arnold to collaborate with Atlas to work on those things."Têxt belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.

"Collaborate with Atlas? Are you saying Atlas also wants to get involved in these things?" I was surprised.

Ardie glanced at me, and I could read the content in his eyes. He didn't hide anything from me.

He continued to tell me, "Atlas has always been involved in mining and technology. Arnold wants to cooperate with him to expand the scale."

The information Ardie shared was something I didn't know. Actually, I had never discussed with my husband about the scope of his business.

Ardie looked at me curiously. "Don't you know about Atlas's jewelry store?"

I nodded. "I know about that."

"That's a kind of ore he mined

himself, but that's just the tip of the iceberg," Ardie said. "There are many other high-end minerals. In fact, this is the foundation of Uncle Louis's business, and... well, you'll know later." .

It was evident that Ardie wanted to stop discussing this topic. "But Dad explicitly told Arnold that his

business should not extend to

Solaris So, coming to Solaris jel.net

for fun. Besides, no one knows him

in Solaris."

Listening to Ardie's words, I understood that he genuinely considered me a part of the Beringer family. Otherwise, he wouldn't have talked about such a sensitive topic with me.

I also knew that just because Arnold did not get involved in Solaris did not mean Atlas couldn't. So, I decided to stop at certain points in the conversation. Some things were better left unsaid.

However, for the first time, I learned

that Atlas's business went beyond what was superficially visible. Lalso discovered why Louis rapidly accumulated wealth, surpassing the Pierce family's enterprises

Perhaps what Celine truly wanted to compete for was the mine in Atlas's hands.

This gave me an unexplainable sense of oppression. I made the bold assumption that because mining was directly related to Louis, could his death be related to this?

As I pondered this, the car had already arrived at a secluded courtyard. It didn't look like a dining place but more like a private residence.

I was a bit surprised. Ardie parked the car and led me out, walking toward the courtyard.
