streamed down her face as she clutched at his pants.
“Atlas, there must be some mistake. Tell me what I did wrong! I’ll change, I promise!
“Please, Atlas, don’t hate mel”
Seeing her stubborn refusal to admit the truth Mas turned his gaze away in disgust and yanked his arm free from her grip. His voice thundered with fury
“You insulted Ember and her parents and even went so far as to harm yourself to frame her at the ski resort. Didn’t you?”
Kaylee’s face visibly twisted with panic and gullt.
“Speak up!” Atlas roared, his anger bolling over. “You were so confident just
a moment ago!
“Ember could have been fine when the avalanche happened. Why did you push her? Why, Kaylee Langford!
“How could you do this to your own cousin? You’re nothing but trash!”
Kaylee panicked. How did he know all this?
Kaylee scrambled in a panic, clutching at his clothes as she knelt. She started stammering incoherent excuses. “No, no! It’s not like that, Atlas, let me explain-”
“What is there to explain?” Atlas snapped, pulling out his phone. The screen displayed the footage, capturing everything clearly.
“The evidence is all here. How long do you plan to keep lying?
“And you.” His icy gaze shifted to Spencer, who flinched under its weight. “You two connived together, and both of you will pay the price.”
Seeing the situation unravel, Spencer scrambled to his feet and blurted out, “It–It was all her idea!
“She’s the one who begged me to keep it from you! It has nothing to do with me!”
Atlas strode to Ember’s bedside, rolling up her sleeve to reveal pale skin covered in a harrowing patchwork of scars, both old and new.
His eyes
burned with fury as he glared at Spencer. He grabbed a nearby chair and hurled it at him with all his strength.
“Nothing to do with you? You filthy animals! How dare you treat my Ember like this right under my nose!”
Ignoring their desperate pleas for mercy, Atlas called for his bodyguards.
“Throw these two out of here! And make sure they never show their faces in front of me again!”
After dealing with the siblings, Atlas still wasn’t satisfied. He summoned the hospital’s director and senior management in the middle of the night, unleashing his wrath on them.
He demanded harsh penalties for everyone who had been bribed by the siblings, rooting out every corrupt staff member.

The entire hospital staff worked with fear and utmost diligence from that moment. They were terrified of displeasing Atlas and facing dismissal.
But even this wasn’t enough to case his worries.
“Move Ember to my room,” he ordered the nurses. “And assign more people to watch over her carefully every single day.
“If anything happens to her, I’ll hold all of you accountable!”
