CHAPTER 440 DESPERATE

“Son, what’s going on?” Timothy asked as he noticed Brandon didn’t look well.

“I am fine…” Brandon forced out an awkward smile to answer.

Now he really sweat all over nervously.

He had never been experiencing such a horrible trouble in his life.

“Brandon, chill. Yeah, though here is the venue, perhaps it’s located in other floors.” He murmured to

himself to get comfort. Then he followed Timothy into the elevator.

As the elevator went up, a sense of agitation started to escalate in his mind.

Now they had reached the 50th floor, while Atlas was built from 68th to 88th.

‘Hell no!’ Brandon was in a cold sweat, hoping that it wasn’t held in the place of Atlas.

He felt suffocated.

Then the elevator stopped at the 68th floor.

Timothy strode out of the elevator.

Brandon seemed to be frozen on spot.

It was the Atlas!

“Miss Perez is on her way. I am gonna chat with my old friends before the performance gets started.”

Timothy smiled and walked over to his friends.

While Brandon was totally stunned. His shirt was wet in cold sweat.

How came? Judith was holding the performance in Atlas?

Though there was a large indoor stadium for the staffs here, he still deemed it too incredible to be the

venue for Judith’s performance.

What was worse, he hadn’t even started the handover process of Atlas. So he had no access to any

facilities of Atlas as he hadn’t got the password.

As time went by, more and more people started to gather around, while every single one of whom were

significantly influential. They were all waiting at the lobby of Atlas.

Besides Forrest, Alan and Justin, he saw Ronnie, Wallace, Millie and Chris. The whole upper class in

Emerdale were all heading to the performance.

Meanwhile, Ernie, the head of the Palmers, Lennon the head of the Grants, his grandson, Caleb and

even Elis had all arrived.

Brandon was burning with panic as he could foresee that all those big shots were about to be kept from

the outside.

When he was about to make a call to Lydia, someone exclaimed to announce, “Welcome, Miss Perez!”

Hearing that, everyone present stood still to fix their eyes on the direction where the voice came.

Surrounded by all, a charming lady in vintage suit with her face covered beneath a veil slowly walked All content is property © .

over.

Then the atmosphere was lit up with excitement.

“It’s Miss Perez, the Music Maestro!”

“God! I finally see her in the flesh!”

“I am a huge fan of hers! But I don’t know why she wanna arrange a performance here.”

“Atlas Beauty, right? Perhaps it would be a nice choice to make it a priority to develop my business

with.”

Those honorable guests were all thrilled while talking about the relationship between Judith and the

Atlas Group.

Brandon was getting more and more distraught. He was aware that a big trouble was coming to him.

When Judith’s bodyguard was about to open the door for her. He found it being locked. Soon, he

looked exasperated.

“What’s going on? Where are the people of Atlas? They don’t even send a receptionist to walk us in

when Miss Perez has come to the lobby?”

Soon, those privileged guests were all irritated.

Each of them had the power to overturn the Atlas. Now they had all gathered in the lobby while being

kept out of the door.

How annoying!

Timothy huffed, “What’s wrong with Atlas? They are gonna kept us standing and waiting outside the

door?”

Brandon was rendered ghastly pale when hearing that.

“Miss Perez, please wait for a minute, let us get it done. The Atlas has to pay the price if they tryna fool

us!” those privileged guests smiled at Judith fawningly.

While Judith herself was standing still. She didn’t seem displeased at all.

Soon, they were burning with rage, “Is there anybody making a call to the boss of Atlas to ask for

reason? Why did they keep us out?”

Soon, the line was connected.

The one who dialed the number shouted with anger, “Lydia, what’s wrong with you? Miss Perez has

walked to the door! Why do you keep it locked?”

But a man’s voice answered through the phone, “Please chill yourselves, gentlemen. Of course it has

been kept locked. Because Atlas no longer belongs to my wife.”

Now all of them noticed that it was the voice of Leo.

Forrest, Alan and Justin, also including those who had pledged loyalty to Leo, made an eye contact

with each other. Now they seemed to notice what was going on. But they simply replied with a wry

smile.

“We all know Miss Henderson has been righteous and trustworthy. So we believe she never tries such

a stupid thing. Alright, now it seems that something goes wrong.” Said Forrest.

“That’s right. But we must find out what’s going on!”

Some of those guests hurried to echo fawningly.

Timothy was burning with rage, “What kind of idiot would dare to keep Miss Perez out of the door!”

Brandon was horrified, “Dad, let’s go home!”

“What’s wrong with you?” when Timothy was about to bombard him with anger, he suddenly noticed his

pale face. So Timothy asked with confusion, “Brandon, what happened?”

“What was going on? How come the Atlas no longer belongs to Miss Henderson?”

The rest of them were all wondering.

Leo smiled to reply, “Now Atlas belongs to Brandon. You should ask him for the reason why he kept the

door locked.”

Then Leo hung up the phone. Soon, Brandon turned to be the target of all.

Timothy was dumfounded. He glared at Brandon and shouted, “What the hell is going on?”

Brandon almost burst into desperate tears under the gaze from those big shots, “I…I don’t know…”

Forrest walked to his front and huffed coldly, “I don’t care about the issues happening between you and

Miss Henderson! But now Miss Perez is still waiting! Open the goddamn door!”

Brandon sweat all over his face, “But…I don’t know the password…”

“You don’t know the password?”

Forrest sneered, “Now you got two minutes left to figure it out before I start to do something dirty to

your family!”

Justin echoed, “You actually tried to take over Atlas from Miss Henderson? You gotta be out of your

mind!”

Alan then made a call, “I need you to dismiss Brandon and his father from their positions in the Urban

Construction Bureau for them offending Miss Perez.”

Hearing that, Brandon flopped onto the ground on his knees.

“No! No, please! I didn’t mean to!”

Then a strong slap struck his face hard.

It was Timothy, who glared at him with his eyes bloodshot, “Your little bastard! What did you do? Why

are you taking over Atlas?”

Brandon answered in pale face while trembling all over, “Dad…but I…I just did as you told me to…It

was you who told me to take over Atlas…”

Driven by nervousness, Brandon actually confessed.

Timothy was exasperated. He smacked him hard again, “Are you gonna shirk your responsibility and

let me take the blame? Call Miss Henderson right now and return Atlas to her!”

Brandon hurried to dial the number. However, he got no response but the voice mail notice of

Lydia.
