I withdrew my cold gaze and looked towards the entrance. Upon seeing it, I was genuinely surprised. I thought I misheard, but I didn't expect to see someone I knew well stepping into the hall.
The person who entered was Stella White, who had been missing for a long time. Even Atlas's expression froze slightly. As I looked at Stella, I felt a bit dazed. Did Stella actually call Navi "dad"? My mind was spinning rapidly. Initially, Atlas suspected her of being affiliated with the organization, but now it seemed inevitable. Still, how did she get involved with Celine Pierce again? What kind of existence was she exactly? The atmosphere in the hall immediately bectense. Stella froze when she saw the scene in the hall.

However, when he gazed at her, Atlas was already back to his cold demeanour. The profound gaze on his handsface was like two sharp blades piercing through Stella, causing her to freeze on the spot. She had no idea Atlas would be here.
There was avoidance in her eyes, and her gaze finally settled on my face.
Today, she was dressed in a sleek black outfit with her hair tied up high in a ponytail. Her makeup was as exquisite as ever, but the slight upward curve of her eyebrows gave her a fierce and icy demeanor.
Atlas's remained silent and his gaze was fixed on her face. I also stared at her contemptuously, wanting to hear how she would explain.
With a glance at Navi, Stella's eyes shifted, and she joyfully ran to Atlas. "Atlas! What are you doing here?" "Honey, this cousin of yours is something! She's everywhere, and no occasion is complete without her. But things have gotten a bit complicated." Before Atlas could speak, I preemptively addressed Stella. "I'm really curious, who is your real father?" Stella heard what I had said, glanced atwith a confused expression, and grinned. "Ms. Chloe!" "CallMrs. Chloe!" I immediately interrupted her and corrected her.

"This position is rightfully mine!" I said domineeringly. "But, Stella, correctif I'm wrong, isn't your father Rory White? When did he becMr. Navi?" She pursed her lips. "As far as I recall, Miss Chloe... oh, Mrs. Atlas, you've had quite a few stepfathers too, haven't you?" Chapter 1242 Unexpected 1 I looked at Stella with a bit of mockery. "So I dare ask, which one of them is your biological father? Oh... and by the way, it seems you borrowed your ntoo?" "Insolence!" Navi reprimanded sharply.
Chapter 1242 Unexpected 2 I looked sharply at Navi, strangely feeling much calmer since Stella interrupted us.
"The situation is so tic. Someone impersonating me, openly imprisoning my father, and shamelessly trying to negotiate terms here! What a despicable character," I uttered disdainfully.
"Guards!" Navi roared.
"Dad!" Suddenly, Stella exclaimed while walking to Navi's side. "Calm down! After all, we're all family! He's my cousin!" Upon hearing Stella's words, Navi restrained himself. Stella then turned to Atlas, who had remained silent.
"Atlas! I really didn't expect to see you here!" "It seems I should be asking you that question," Atlas said, still sitting there leisurely. His gaze toward Stella was unfathomable. Chapter 1242 Unexpected 3
