Chapter 338 Who to Ask for Help?

It was survival of the fittest in the business world, and I was determined to make Liora relent. If I didn't, it

would be over for me

Conveniently, Matthew's groundbreaking ceremony had just concluded. I thought it was the night time to put my plan into action

Ryan assured me, "You can get a good night's sleep this time I'll consider us established in Foswood

once we have the capital to be independent

I wholeheartedly agreed with his sentiment.

However, ATL Empire added to my pressure when the retested inspection reports returned. Surprisingly. they showed elevated levels of harmful substances, rendering the project non-compliant. Immediately after, ATL Empire ordered all remaining construction to halt. If we couldn't resolve it, the project would never continue. Since we sold all the units, I would be in serious trouble if the homeowners. complained.

ATL Empire didn't give me a chance to address the issue. The work stoppage was just the first step. Then, they sent an outrageous claim notice. I knew they intended to crush me

Ryan, Grayson, and I tried dealing with this situation. We collaborated with our suppliers to provide convincing evidence to persuade the relevant authorities, but it was in vain. I knew Celine would leave me with no room to recover.

I finally understood how unwise it was to challenge Celine. She was a ruthless witch, I also realized the significance of Atlas's and Atticus's repeated advice for me to protect my interests.

I felt powerless under the ATL Empire's pressure. Even Ryan seemed at a loss. Still, this wasn't what I feared most. Instead, this might even affect Ryan's chances of securing phase two of Avalon Hills. Meanwhile, I received no news of Atlas and regretted not leaving a way to contact the doctor. Even if I

knew Atlas was okay, it would provide some solace to my troubled heart.

1 felt burnt out these past few days, Lauren heard the news and was genuinely concerned about me. She rushed to my office and suggested, "Chlo, you must seek help. You can't handle it alone-Tanum Corporation is too small to persuade anyone."

I helplessly looked at Lauren, knowing she was right. Still, I didn't know who to tum to. I dejectedly said,

You're right, but who would stand up for a small company like mine? Most would probably want to avoid getting involved

Lauren fell silent momentarily and then suggested, "Well, that's not necessarily true. You'll never know if you don't try. I think you can seek help from Atticus."

"Atticus?" I looked at Lauren in surprise, repeating his name and pondering. "I'm not that familiar with him.

Can I even ask for his help?"

"You can pretend to seek Atticus's advice. He's experienced in the business world, so he should have a way to handle it. Don't overthink it," Lauren encouraged me.

I looked helplessly at Lauren and asked, "Do you think it'll work?"

Lauren got up, pulled me to my feet, and said, "Come on, I'll take you there. Who cares if it's a long shot? Sometimes, you need to take a chance. Even just talking to him might ease your mind." Her encouragement worked. In any case, I didn't dislike Atticus as a person.

In the car, I told Lauren that Atticus had tipped me about ATL Empire switching personnel.

She said, "See? Sometimes, a few words from someone can save us from trouble. If it's useful to us, we

have to try it. Don't just stay stuck in a rut."

Lauren continued to encourage me as she drove. "Hurry, call Atticus and ask if he's at the company."

I quickly found Atticus's number, took a deep breath, and called him.
