Chapter 391: Made me proud

"There's only one Zoren Pierson in the Pierson Family, Mr. Bennet, and he is currently the head of the family. He wants you to be his special guest at the annual celebration of Pierson Corporation."

The chairman stumbled back into his seat, staring at Atlas with wide eyes. Even Sven felt like dropping to the floor, his heart sinking.

"The Pierson... Zoren Pierson..." Sven mumbled, his mind reeling as all his strategies disintegrated before his eyes.

A golden invitation was not just a color; it was a symbol of the highest respect from the head of Pierson Corporation. This golden card hadn't appeared in years because the Pierson Family never regarded anyone as equal or superior to them. But now, Zoren Pierson had sent his own right-hand man to deliver this card, like an emperor inviting a small noble family to his imperial palace.

'I thought his name was Zigzag Pierson.' Unlike the tumultuous thoughts running through the chairman and Sven's minds, Atlas could only recall how he had misheard Zoren's name. 'Is this his way of getting to Penny?'

Atlas's lips curved downwards, but then he noticed the chairman's and Sven's expressions. His frown turned into a smirk as he snapped his eyes at Benjamin. "Will you accept this invitation, Mr. Bennet?" Benjamin asked politely, his little brain already shaking pom-poms while cheering, 'Please say yes. Even if it's not for Miss Penny, do it so your additional brother can protect you.'

"Of course," Atlas smiled kindly. "How can I refuse such a generous offer?"

Benjamin's smile stretched from ear to ear, but his expression shifted when Atlas finally extended his hand. When Benjamin took it, Atlas squeezed it tightly, closing the distance between them.

"But I'd like you to relay a message to your boss," Atlas whispered in Benjamin's ear, his eyes glinting. "I'm accepting this simply because I'm giving him some face. So, he better not think he can bribe me with such a flimsy card for my sister's hand."

"Hah..." Benjamin watched as Atlas slowly drew back, a smile still on the latter's face. 'So, he doesn't know my boss already has her hand, huh? Oopsie.'
