Beyond the Divorce novel Chapter 1473

My heart raced as I rushed forward, my main concern being Uncle Kenny's safety.

In the next instant, I witnessed a sudden burst of blood from Kenzie's wrist. She instinctively let go of Uncle Kenny, dropping the gun, and clutched her injured wrist. With a sinister smile, she quickly fled into a waiting car, which sped away with an unusual engine sound.

Outside, we stood frozen in disbelief at what had just unfolded.

I held Atlas tightly around his waist, seeking comfort.

"Don't be afraid," he assured me.

It dawned on me that Kenzie had been shot in the wrist, likely with a silencer.

The hall fell into a chilling silence.

Atlas and I quickly made our way to the door, where someone was already helping Uncle Kenny up.

"Uncle Kenny, are you alright?" I asked anxiously, checking his wound.

Tears streamed down Uncle Kenny's face as he looked up at Atlas. "Mr. Atlas, you shouldn't have let that evil woman go."

Atlas grasped his hand firmly, whispering, "She still has value to us. She had to go."

Uncle Kenny looked at Atlas with doubt, perhaps analyzing his words.

Even I only understood why Atlas let Celine go after hearing his words. It made sense now, especially with the explanation for the abnormal sounds from the escaping car—they were intentionally causing distractions.

After a while, everyone looked at Atlas, trembling with fear and uncertainty.

Atlas calmly told Dylan, "Wrap things up here.”
