Beyond the Divorce

Chapter 1366 Prepare for the Worst



My father noticed my contemplation and knew I was seriously thinking about what he said. "You need to understand how to mitigate risks when undertaking significant endeavors, Chloe. Indecisiveness leads to chaos."

I nodded earnestly at my father's advice.

Louis might have compromised on this in the past, and he had paid for it.

My father didn't continue but instead said, "Get the nurse to take me out for some fresh air."

I quickly called the nurse. Since I was pregnant, I couldn't afford to be reckless. Atlas wouldn't even let me carry Ava anymore.

As the nurse wheeled my father to the garden to see George, I returned to the foyer with Lauren.

Lauren looked at me. "It seems your dad really sees through to the heart of the matter. He's right. This issue does need to be addressed at the root. Otherwise, it'll always be a problem. The best strategy would be to ensure that our supply remains intact, and it's also our responsibility to do that." "I've actually had this idea and discussed it with Fred before, but he couldn't bring himself to act, so I gave up, but now I'm really at a loss," I told Lauren.

Lauren glanced at me. "You've mentioned that Hugo has a history with you, so we need to be proactive to prevent any future problems. We can't afford to wait until it's too late. We need to take preemptive measures and make sure he doesn't even know what hit him."

Lauren's tone was resolute, giving me a clear direction.

This was why I liked discussing things with her. She was calm and collected, while Ivanna was impulsive. They each had different strengths. "Then we should get Grayson to start investigating Hugo's crimes. Fred once mentioned that Hugo was involved in a murder." I glanced at Lauren. "And I've experienced it firsthand."

"Exactly! So why wait? We should do what your dad said. When he makes his move, we'll take him down once and for all, eliminating the threat. Fred can take everything back and sit back and relax. We'll have no more worries after we rid ourselves of that troublemaker too."

If Hugo wouldn't make a move on his own, we would have to dig a pit for him to fall into.

Lauren didn't stay for dinner at Pleca Park and hurried to return to the hospital. Her entire focus was on Oliver now.

Archie had originally planned to return to Solaris in the afternoon, but after talking to Atlas in the study all afternoon, he decided to return the next morning.

To everyone's surprise, Ardie walked

in spiritedly as we were sitting down for dinner. He had rushed back specifically to see my father. After all, he had known my father when he was younger.

Everyone was thrilled to see him.

We were all very excited, and thoughts of Louis filled the air.

Ardie was gentle and refined. I felt like I understood him pretty well since I had spent two days with him when I went to Solaris.

At this moment, he was by my

father's side chatting non-stop and

showing genuine concern for my father's health. He asked about my father's imprisonment in Navi's

base and my father was very

concerned about his career. Content

Their reunion looked like that of old friends who hadn't seen each other in a long time.

That made me very relieved. The Beringer family had been very kind to us.

The atmosphere was lively during dinner.Belonging © NôvelDram/a.Org.

This was a diverse extended family. At first, my adoptive parents felt a little awkward because the Beringer family showed a lot of respect for my father, making it clear that they hadn't decided to take me in as their goddaughter based on a whim.

Instead, it had been based on a long-standing friendship.

This had always puzzled me. I hadn't been able to understand why the Beringer family, who were so important, would take me into their family.

It turned out that my father's relationship with the Beringer family had started long ago.
