Chapter 1457 The Sudden Attitude Change

They all looked at Atlas with apprehension, unsettled by his sudden change in expression. Celine quickly caught on, maintaining her peacemaker persona. With a rare smile, she preemptively spoke before Atlas could. "Atlas. It's been years since you last visited. Naturally, things are a bit unfamiliar to you now. "I just invited everyone here to reunite us all. Over the years, everyone has been busy with business, not to mention the upheavals in the Pierce family..." Her voice trailed off, sounding melancholic.

"The upheavals in the Pierce family?" Atlas's tone carried a hint of mockery, his already cold gaze turning even colder. "Indeed, the upheavals in the Pierce family were quite significant. Even those who are here have become traitors."

Celine hurriedly interjected, "Don't be rude. Everyone who's here today are all dear friends of the Pierce family, and they all..."

"I don't see any friends here," Atlas snorted, cutting off Celine. "Every word they said to criticize us earlier was venomous. I saw no trace of affection for me!"

His words made it clear to me that he had been observing those radical individuals. I was sure that the one who had challenged me earlier must have been Celine's staunch ally.

"Are you trying to tell me you turned a family banquet into a scene for no reason?" Atlas glanced at Celine.
