NovelOnlineAfter glancing at her, I reached over to the side, and Mr. Brown immediately gavesomething. I turned to face her with a relaxed smile and replied, "I have my reasons for staying." I threw the file bag I was holding across the table arrogantly.
The bag whirled and slid toward Mia like it was figuring out where to go.

I shrugged at her and gestured to indicate that she could open it herself.
While staring intently at my face, she slowly picked up the file bag, unzipped it, and pulled out the documents inside. Joshua, who was sitting in the middle, nervously fixed his gaze on the documents Mia was slowly pulling out of the bag. After Mia took out the documents, she finally withdrew her gaze fromand looked at the contents.
At first, she looked surprised. Then, she calmed down, smirked, and raised the sheets of paper to me. "Looks like you're playing a trick, Chloe! It's been over a month since Atticus disappeared, but you're tellingthat this piece of paper is Atticus's authorization letter. I can't believe it!" The journalists surged forward, trying to snatch the documents from her hands.
Joshua's eyes suddenly narrowed as he looked at me.
Mia continued, "Or... did you have something to do with Atticus's disappearance?" Her words instantly aroused the interest of the journalists in the conference room. They all turned their cameras toward me.

You're a newcomer who's only been in Tanum for less than two years, but you want to acquire a company like Echelon Group that's in a different league. What a joke!" The people beside her immediately said, "Yes, what a joke!" "You overestimate yourself, Chloe! You think you can do whatever you want just because you have connections with ATL Empire. ATL Empire is the largest consortiumin the world, but you can't just use it at will. ATL Empire might still be involved in the Beringer family's case and hasn't cleaned up yet, but you're acting recklessly like this. You don't know your place, do you?" Content belongs to en.kikistoriesMia's tone was full of disdain and contempt.
"Don't you think it's a headache for Atlas to have someone like you as his partner? And since we can't avoid this battle today, don't blme for being merciless. He hasn't revealed your identity publicly, but you refuse to mind your own business and behave recklessly." It was clear that she didn't approve of the relationship betweenand Atlas.
"I'll give you sadvice, Chloe. You should be modest. Go home, take care of your pregnancy, talk to Atlas, and make your relationship public as soon as possible. That's the right way to do it.
"A wealthy family can tolerate a lot. Your first marriage caused a lot of trouble and criticism, but you didn't learn your lesson. I see you're anxious. This is the business world. Don't do anything that'll make you a joke. I'd advise you to protect Atlas's reputation." Content belongs to en.kikistoriesAs she spoke, she put the documents back into the bag, then, following my lead, threw the bag back at me.
"Just leave! Don't embarrass yourself. This won't end well. Becareful; someone might report Atticus's disappearance to the police. You won't be able to deceive anyone with those fake papers then. After Mia finished speaking, she shouted to her entourage, "Escort her out!" Content belongs to en.kikistoriesA magnetic voice sounded at the door. "How ignorant!" Mia's eyes widened as she looked at the door. Atlas walked in, pushing a wheelchair.
A group of reporters was also behind Atlas, but the logos on the badges of those reporters intimidated the other journalists.
At this moment, Joshua suddenly stood up and exclaimed in surprise, "Mr. Atticus!"
