Chapter 54 I Believe Him
Among the guests invited by Ken Aniston, Quintin had the highest status.
Moreover, Quintin was a well-known painter in Lanceham. Ken would never dare offend him.
As for Atlas and the rest of Zoee's classmates, to Ken, they were just children who had not grown up
yet.
Therefore, it didn't matter to Ken who was right.
No matter what, he had to show his respect to Quintin.
In his previous life, Atlas didn't know much about Ken. Now, from his attitude, Atlas basically
understand what kind of a man he was.
In short, he had the typical mentality of a petty bourgeois and had long bowed his head to life.
Since Ken did not care about the feelings of Atlas and the others, Atlas would not be polite to him too.
Atlas put his hands into his trouser pockets, raised his head slightly, and said indifferently, "He doesn't
deserve my apology!"
Quintin really wanted to snap, but in front of Ken, he should maintain his image as a gentleman.
"Ken, did you see that? This boy is so big-headed! He even wanted to hit me just now!"
Georgie and Helen looked at Atlas in surprise. In the past, Atlas had given them the impression that he
was obedient. They did not expect that after a few days, Atlas would become so unyielding!
Ken personally asked Atlas to apologize. Atlas not only refused, but also humiliated Quintin in front of
him.
Although Quintin should be humiliated, what he did undoubtedly made Ken feel embarrassed.
"Atlas, that's Zoee's father!" Helen reminded him in a hushed voice.
Atlas ignored her with a poker face. If Ken had not been Zoee's father, Atlas would not have spoken to Têxt belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.
him so calmly.
Ken frowned. He felt that he had underestimated these youngsters, especially this brat in front of him.
"Your name is Atlas, isn't it? Zoee often mention you to me. I'm also very grateful for your help.
Therefore, I have to remind you that this Mr. Somberg in front of you is not only the chairman of the
LEON Group, but also has a good relationship with Mr. Kimmerly of the Ronald Group."
"Do you know what to do?" Ken said earnestly.
He felt that as long as Atlas was not stupid, he would apologize immediately. After all, it was not
shameful to apologize to an elder than to offend the LEON Group or even the Ronald Group.
Atlas sneered and said, "Not to mention that he is only a subordinate of Ruben Kimmerly, even Ruben
himself are not worthy to let me apologize."
"What an arrogant boy! He doesn't even care about the heir of the Ronald Group!" Quintin exclaimed.
"Ken, aren't you afraid that he will cause trouble for you if you invite him being your guest?"
Ken's expression turned cold. He looked at Atlas and frowned slightly. "Atlas, I'm very grateful what
you've done for Zoee. However, you are so young, who would believe what you just said?"
"I believe him!"
A cold voice rang in the room. It was Zoee.
"It's Zoee. She's here." The students whispered. Now the show was getting better.
Seeing that Zoee came, Helen quietly put her phone into pocket.
Zoee strode to Atlas and said firmly. "Even if all of you don't believe Atlas, I will believe him. Even if
everyone in the world doesn't believe him, I believe him!"
Although her voice was soft, it was not weak. Instead, it had the power to pierce through gold and
stone.
Seeing Zoee, Quintin's eyes lit up. He kept egging Ken on, "Ken, how did you teach your kid? This
child dares talk back to you. You should not spoil her!"
Ken was expressionless and stayed silent. Zoee was his only daughter and he had put all his efforts
into her. As a result, he could not bear to make her sad.
"Zoee. Go back and entertain the guests. I will handle this matter. It's not your business!" Ken said
solemnly.
"No, I don't believe you. I want to see you deal with it here!" Zoee insisted.
Ken was a little annoyed. "Zoee. Don't you believe in Dad? What you said is very hurtful, do you know?
Have you considered Dad's feelings when you said this?"
Zoee had obviously known what had happened and was not moved by his words. She said tit-for-tat,
"Dad, have you ever thought about how I feel when you targeted Atlas indiscriminately?"
Ken couldn't help but say angrily, "Zoee, you've disappointed me so much!"
Zoee was not afraid at all. She snorted, "I already know the whole story. Atlas did nothing wrong. If you
continue to embarrass him, then it's fine to cancel the exhibition!"
"What… what did you say?" Ken almost jumped up, but could do nothing to her. He had never seen
Zoee being so stubborn which made him believed that she would do what she said.
If the exhibition was canceled, what did he need Quintin for?
Feeling helpless, Ken had to look at Quintin awkwardly and apologized, "Mr. Somberg, I didn't
discipline her properly. Please forgive me! However, my daughter has been spoiled by me since she
was a child. If I push her hard, I am afraid that she will really do something stupid."
"Why don't we put this matter aside for the time being and handle it after the exhibition?"
Quintin wanted to use Ken to humiliate Atlas, but he didn't expect that Atlas didn't even respect Ken, so
that he was helpless.
Now Zoee was on Atlas' side, it was hard for Quintin to fight by himself. Of course, he did not dare go
against Atlas.
"Since you had said so, I have to respect you. Let's put it aside and finish the exhibition first." Quintin
pretended to be generous.
Ken really thought that Quintin was willing to spare Atlas because of him.
He bowed to Quintin gratefully and said, "I apologized to you on behalf of this immature boy!"
"Ken, you're welcome. Let's go there and let them have their fun!" Quintin couldn't stand Atlas' gaze
anymore. He was so afraid and wanted to escape as soon as possible.
"Okay, Mr. Somberg, please!" They left.
"Atlas, I'm so sorry for making you suffer!" Zoee rubbed the hem of her dress and said sadly.
Atlas rubbed the messy hair on her forehead and said with a smile, "You've already fallen out with
Uncle Aniston for me. It's nothing to me."
"Let's go. Take us to see your paintings and explain to us who don't know any art." Atlas changed the
topic to ease her worries.
Sure enough, when she heard that Atlas was interested in her painting, Zoee was very excited.
"Okay, I'll show you!" She led the way and began to explain one by one.
Behind them, Harvey and others were jealous.
"Harvey, Zoee is so kind to Atlas, who is a good-for-nothing! It really makes me angry. I don't know
what overpower drug Atlas has given her!"
Harvey was also puzzled. Atlas was a married man, and Zoee was so kind to him, which depressed
Harvey so much.
"Stop talking. Let this loser be complacent for a while, and I will make him kneel in front of me and beg
for mercy on day!" He had another idea.
