Chapter 1370 She Disappeared into Thin Air
As Dylan slowly drove the car away, I said, "Dylan, you helped me bury the old man from that deserted village outside Navi's base, right?" "Yes, ma'am. I buried him behind his house. That village is completely abandoned now."
"I feel sorry for the people in that village," I sighed. "By the way, when you were cleaning up the base later, did you find any traces of Stella?"
I couldn't shake the feeling that something was off. I knew Dylan didn't like Stella, and he had even targeted her at the base. It was clear that he regarded her with disdain, not as some kind of helpless woman.
But logically, Stella couldn't have escaped on her own under the constant gunfire with those injuries to her leg and shoulder. So, how did she vanish into thin air? I just couldn't wrap my head around it.
"I didn't see her. Someone must have helped her escape," Dylan said.
"Don't you find it suspicious?" I asked, my question carrying a hint of reproach.
Dylan didn't shirk his responsibility, "Yes, ma'am. It was my fault. I was only focused on checking on our people at the time, and I overlooked it. When I tried to check on her later, she was nowhere to be found."
"Could someone have helped her?" I asked boldly. "I mean, could it be someone from Navi's base?"
"We can't rule out that possibility. I'll arrange for someone to investigate her carefully."
By this time, we had arrived at Al Dente. Atlas, who hadn't been involved in our discussion, got out first and walked around to the other side to open the car door for me and help me out.
He held my hand as we walked inside, and we headed for the elevator in the right corner of the lobby. As the elevator doors quietly closed, I caught a glimpse of a familiar figure inside, who disappeared from my sight in a flash.
I was taken aback for a moment, and Atlas noticed the subtle change in my demeanor. He turned to me and asked softly, "What's wrong?"
"I think I just saw Trinity in the elevator." I regained my composure and continued walking toward the elevator with him.
I had also seen a burly figure beside her. It had obviously been a man, but I hadn't had time to get a clear look at his appearance before the elevator doors closed.This material belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.
When we arrived at our private room and sat down, I said, "Trinity seems to have changed a lot."
"Why do you say that?" Atlas took my bag and settled me into the chair.
"I wonder how Jared managed to win."
"What do you mean?" Atlas asked as he put away my bag.
"It looks like the Huffman family is turning a blind eye to his affair with Ivanna."
This private room had many uses. It had an elegant double seat by the floor-to-ceiling window. The main hall had a large living room and a table, which was convenient for
business meetings. Content belongs

It was a nice environment. To be honest, it was a bit of a waste of space for just the two of us.
"The Huffman family has no reason to interfere in someone else's love life. And this is Jared we're talking about. Do you think he's someone who would compromise so easily?" Content belongs to NovelDrama.Org

I was very straightforward. It had been a long time since I had spent such time alone with Atlas. I had wanted to talk to him about this for a while now.
We both liked talking in an atmosphere like this. Some of our views coincided naturally, which made me very happy.
"Trinity seems to be very involved with the Avila family." I remembered how Trinity had been talking about the Avila family when I saw her and told Atlas about it.
"Trinity is dating the heir of the Avila family," Atlas said casually.
"What?"
