"I hate her!" Slater barged into Atlas's room and exclaimed. "That crafty girl! She's purposely making me angry!"

He threw himself on the comfortable lazy couch, fuming.

Atlas, who asked his family not to be disturbed, ignored him. He continued to answer the problem on his study desk.

"Big brother, that crafty piglet did that on purpose!" Slater continued in frustration. "She's trying to take mom and dad away from us!"

"Atlas, I..."

Slater jumped from his chair and encouraged, "We need to come together and stop her madness!"

Hugo raised a notebook and approached. "I've been stuck in this problem and I need to understand it for

tomorrow's recitation."

Atlas quietly took the note and opened it to the bookmark.

Seeing his brothers' nonchalance, Slater's lips curved deeply.

"Are you not concerned about this?!" he exclaimed angrily. "Someone is invading our territory and now she's winning!" @

"Slater, I know you're frustrated, but vent it

elsewhere." Hugo's voice was cold and commanding. "If you think she's taking Mom and Dad's attention, then you should disappear for 13 years. Otherwise, leave Atlas alone."
