Chapter 277

"Who's kidding around?" Bodhi's face turned serious. "I'm dead serious."

Atlas still couldn't quite believe him.

Then someone nearby chimed in, "Atlas, you and Bodhi really are best friends, you both fell into the same trap!"

Atlas felt his brain buzz.

Bodhi shook his head and said, "Mr. Cavendish told me himself, it's not a lie. I even checked it out when I got home. A few years ago, Christina was rumored to be involved with Mr. Cavendish."

The internet is full of traces, and he specifically looked into it. What more is there to understand?

Grace and Parker's issues with Christina stem from their parents' grudges. Bodhi didn't want to judge who was right or wrong.

The bottom line is, William's wife is Christina, and that's all he needs to know.

"But Atlas, there's still a difference between us."

"What difference?" Atlas asked instinctively.

"I'm working well with Mrs. Cavendish now, but you've already sent out that contract. I don't know if there's a chance to salvage it." Bodhi sighed.

To be fair, Christina's proposal was excellent, but they kept causing trouble.

Even the most patient person would have a hard time putting up with it.

Given how much William values his wife, if she complains to him, do you think William would tolerate it?

Just thinking about it made Atlas feel like he was going to collapse.

He's done for!

He lost all interest in fishing, quickly putting down his rod. "I have some things to take care of, let's reschedule."

He had verbally agreed with Parker yesterday, but the contract hadn't been finalized, the seal hadn't been stamped, so there was still a chance!

He drove hurriedly to the club.

Christina was suppressing her anger. If it weren't for Mia, she would have already confronted Parker.

"State all your demands at once, don't play games with me."

"What?" Parker interrupted Christina with a chuckle. "Don't you deserve to be toyed with?"

Christina was Elisa's daughter, and Elisa was a mistress.

If it weren't for Elisa, his father wouldn't have divorced his mother. Now Elisa is dead, and his mother is dead too. He wants Christina to pay for it all.

Parker's face turned ugly. "Christina, your mom deserved to die. You've managed to stay with William for so long, you must have some skills! But our grudge isn't over yet!"

She managed to get William to marry her, have a daughter, and even make William devoted to her. That's Christina's skill!

Christina's tone remained cold. "Since you know my skills and that William will help me, why are you still causing trouble? Aren't you afraid he'll punish you?"

Christina looked at Parker, her eyes showing a hint of provocation.

Parker understood her meaning clearly.

"William will help you, but how can he help with our cooperation? Christina, if you want to proceed, you have to meet my demands. But you also have the right to withdraw anytime, don't you?"

Christina said nothing, her red lips pressed tightly together.

This deal was crucial for Mia; otherwise, Mia wouldn't have come to her.

During the three years she was away from Stargate City, Mia had taken care of her.

"Fine, I'll see it through. But I have to go now. Mr. Parker Cavendish, send me all your demands at once." With that, Christina turned and left.

Just meeting his demands was already tough. Even if Christina showed a strong front now, he wanted to see how long she could keep it up!

Not long after Christina left, Atlas arrived.

Seeing Parker alone, Atlas anxiously looked around. "Where's Christina?"

"Atlas, why are you so eager to find Christina? Is something wrong?"

Parker held his wine glass, smiling faintly.

Seeing Parker like this made Atlas even more anxious. "Mr. Parker Cavendish, I just found out Christina is Mr. William Cavendish's wife. I can't give you this project. If you keep troubling Christina and Mr. William Cavendish comes after me, I'm done for!"

He didn't dare offend William.

William had been ruthless over the years.

Parker thought it was something else, but it turned out Atlas had discovered this.

Parker's face turned very ugly. "You're afraid of offending William, but you're not afraid of offending me?"

Atlas fell silent.

Parker was also part of the Cavendish family. Offending him wouldn't end well for Atlas either. But was this really offending Parker? When Parker approached him, he agreed without hesitation. He could help, but he had to consider his own situation too.

Atlas pursed his lips and said softly, "Mr. Parker Cavendish, I can't risk myself. You know Mr. William Cavendish's methods. I don't want to end up losing everything. Since the seal hasn't been stamped yet, if you need anything in the future, I'll be at your service."

After saying this, Atlas quickly went to contact Christina.

"Ms. Windsor, I apologize for causing you trouble. I didn't know about your relationship with Mr. Parker Cavendish. I'm willing to cooperate on this project!"

Atlas's sudden change in attitude made Christina suspect it was because of William!

"Did your attitude change because you found out about William?"

Christina asked, considering Atlas's reputation. It seemed William had found Atlas, otherwise, Atlas wouldn't have changed his attitude.

Atlas smiled. "I didn't recognize your importance before, Ms. Windsor, or rather Mrs. Cavendish. My apologies."

Just as she expected, Christina said nothing. Mia needed this project, and if she could secure it, what more was there to say?

But she felt a heavy weight in her heart, unable to express it.

She didn't want to have contact with William, but everything still revolved around him!

Even in two lifetimes.

Was she destined to be with William in this life too?

Christina didn't want to think further, sending Mia an "OK" emoji.
